Heineken's "Open Your World" campaign

This is one of the best ad campaigns I've seen in a while. Heineken always has really great ads, and these are no different. It's for their "Open Your World" campaign. There is a main 90 second commercial spot, that also has a 3 minute long music video by "The Asteroids Galaxy Tour." Not only that, but the campaign showcases additional videos giving further insight to some of the characters featured in the commercial. It kind of reminds me of a Wes Anderson film.

"The Entrance":


"The Perfect Gift":


"The Dancing Waiter":


"Gorgeous Girls":


"Kung Fu Comeback":

Things real people don't say about advertising

Now THIS is the photo blog for ad men. Things real people don't say about advertising. So true, so true, haha.

C-3PO and R2-D2 walk into an electronics store

Sounds like a bad joke doesn't it? Well it makes for a hilarious commercial for Curry and PC World Megastores:

Wham! Bam! Thank you Hamm!

Too bad I missed last night's SNL hosted by Jon Hamm. Check out his introduction as he creates ad slogans:

Gary Busey gets you yours

Gary Busey would make the ultimate lawyer, why? He scares the living hell out of anyone and everyone. Gary Busey is, Norman Tugwater...Fantasy Sports Attorney. If you're into fantasy sports, then maybe you should think about these messages from Vitamin Water at Tugwater.com.

Lance Armstrong is Radio Shack's Mobility Officer

Take a memo...
So I don't watch much television, but I'm glad I decided to the other day (apparently these have been on for the last two months?). I was able to see the Radio Shack ads featuring Lance Armstrong. I'd say these are a cross between the Old Spice guy and the PS3 Kevin Butler ads. These made me laugh!

TomTom feels the force

TomTom has finally come out with their new voice-overs for Star Wars characters. Check out these hilarious clips recording Yoda and Darth Vader. Round-a-bound!

Geico has devised a new spokesman for this commercial...a singing octopus!

Old Spice spokesman thanks his fans (and explains why the Netherlands lost the World Cup)

Again with more of the Old Spice guy...a lot more! Hurray! He thanks his fans in a bunch of videos, enjoy. I've posted a few of them, but the rest can be found here.

Old Spice on a Boat!

Another Old Spice ad has been released. This time on a boat, with mustaches!

Swan dive! New Old Spice Ad

Wieden + Kennedy recently released a second ad for the Old Spice "The man your man could smell like" campaign....swan dive!

The Secret of Nike's Air

April Fool's day means hoaxes, but this one is just hilarious and amazing. Straight from Nike's mouth, the secret of where the air in their shoes come from.

The secret behind LG's logo

I'm on a horse!

Wieden + Kennedy do it again! I just love their Old Spice campaigns. "The tickets are now diamonds!" Hilarious! This is the newest addition: "Smell like a man, man"

"I'm on a horse"


"Did you know?"

James Lipton and his beard fight to ponder before you text

This isn't necessarily a new campaign, but I didn't post about it yet. This is just a hilarious campaign featuring James Lipton of "Inside the Actor's Studio" and..his beard. Together, they are joining forces to fight wrongful text messages in a campaign called "Give it a Ponder" for LG.
"Catfight"

"Locker Room"

"Angry"

"Unicorn"

Top Gear Ad Men

I love "Top Gear" and I love advertising. That said, ofcourse I love James May and Jeremy Clarkson trying to be Ad Men for the VW Scirocco. Quite hilarious!

With the Buffalo Bill's history of terrible seasons, one fan rallies the troops and raises enough money to put a billboard urging to fire headcoach Ralph Wilson reading: "It’s time to clean house, RALPH"
