Buy a PS3 and trash everything else

January 4, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A pretty funky ad from Venezuela for the PlayStation 3 here. It gets your attention by trashing a lot of expensive looking stuff. Lots of broken glass. There’s a giant slingshot – in fact I think the ad is called “slingshot”. Oh, and there’s a PS3 too!

What if Michael Bay directed a Victoria’s Secret ad?

December 11, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Michael Bay is the director behind (most of) the Transformer movies. The man who does explosions, machines and fights. Can you imagine what it would be like if he was tasked (and actually did) a Victoria’s Secret ad? Good news! You don’t need to imagine it. Here it is!

Phones4u ad pokes fun at LARPers, rips off Boxwars?

October 19, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

A recent TV ad from Phones4U suggests that people who dress up in homemade armour and whack each other with cardboard axes wouldn’t have enough friends to enjoy the popular tariffs. Does it? Kind of.

October 9, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Michelin Man defeats Evil Gas Pump

October 7, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

As part of a $20 million advertising push we have this new Michelin Man kaiju battle with a giant evil gas pump. It’s pretty funky and that’s even before we get onto the Fire Coming OUt of The Monkey’s Head. I think the vocal overlay to the Michelin Man’s battle with the evil gas pump […]

American TV ad for The Beatles Rock Band

August 30, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The American TV ad for the forthcoming Rock Band: The Beatles edition uses technology we’re all now familiar with to put old footage of long dead celebrities  into a clip. What do you think? Cool or creepy?

New Guitar Hero advert

August 29, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

They’ve re-vamped the now famous Heidi Klum Guitar Hero advert for Guitar Hero 5. I know. I can’t believe we’re up to five and now have Rock Band (The Beatles!) as well. Here’s the latest advert. Lots of bunnies with guitars. In the interests of science; here’s the original
