So Silly You Might Think It’s April Fool’s: Old Spice Bar Soap
Here’s a crazy new commercial poking fun at 80’s commercials and jingles created by Wieden & Kennedy in Portland for Old Spice. Amusing stuff, because it is so far out there you aren’t sure if it’s real or if it’s a joke commercial. That madness is brilliant. Particularly once you start seeing it on TV […]

Here are three commercials that makeup a brilliant campaign created by Duval Guillaume in Belgium. The production company is Creative Conspiracy.

Talking animals (my favorite) and animals set to music, this can be great material and funny stuff. It’s natural comedy.

The english accents […]

I still don’t get the tag line, though: “it’s better to know what’s coming next.” Certainly, but what does that have to do with […]

Read PostHerman Cain Sings His New Blues Hit: 9,9,9 and more from Jimmy Fallon
This is one entertaining political season, and Herman Cain is no doubt one of the most entertaining individuals. The presidential race provides fodder for comedians like few other national news events. Jimmy Fallon’s creative writing team has been hard at work lampooning the Republicans. As the headline shows, my favorite piece is Herman Cain’s song, […]
Read PostBundaberg Rum – Silly Comedy Combination
Here’s a wacky spot called Favourable Lie from the folks at Bundaberg Rum. It’s a good combination for a comedy commercial – a crocodile and a golf course. Australians can still make liquor TV commercials, so presumably they spend some real dough for their commercials. Bundaberg Rum – ‘Favourable Lie’ from Dmitri Golovko on Vimeo.
