Manwash

Interesting new ad for Lynx anti-body smell stuff in which a squad of ladies help you get Teh Squeaky in a semi-soft porno sort of a way. Very effective, however up until now we thought a "Manwash" was that thing you do just afterwards in a motel sink standing on your tippy toes when you quietly suspect crabs.

The Hoff

Kamarama's ad for The Hoff, aka David Hasselhoff's, latest project. Are people really buying into the Hoff thing? Sounds like one of those things George W. labels a world leader with when he can't remember the real name. Anyway, the new campaign is created by Kamarama and makes us wonder what Germany's deal is, roughly.

Mindstorms Easter egg

Spiffy blog Digital Digressions sends along instructions on how to get at the Lego Mindstorms promo movie Easter egg snuck in at the Mindstorms site. We tried this out and quickly discovered that even the coolest Lego movie in the universe is nothing like that Rory Gilmore actress in a nurse uniform and rapidly lost interest. Might appeal to some of you, however.

You never go back

Black, from the Adcolor seires which made a splash a little while back. Not to be confused with the

Now Internet-famous for the cool plant/technology video created for Alias, 1st Ave Machine whips out some for their magic for Madison avenue

Time Trumpet

Sneak peeks at Armando Iannucci's new BBC comedy Time Trumpet. Explaining them would kill the fun, but they're absolutely not about meerkats, bondage, or Volvos.

Ladybird Sex

Theirry Poiraud's Peugeot 207 ad in which two ladybirds git it oawn. Dumb idea, very cool animation from the ever-good BUF.

Sometimes We Wish All Of Advertising Could Be One Guy Just So We Might Pants Him In Front Of His Wife And Children

We don't see Saatchi & Saatchi's "next generation" ad flier going anywhere good. Also, we flat out resent the implication that the only jobs white people can get are as pizza delivery boys. The white race has made a lot of progress since the 50s.

Room Service

A Karl Lagerfeld directed five minute "mini-movie" ad for Dom Perignon staring the really important bits on Eva Herzigova, some other guy, and also not Mike Tyson, as it would have if we had be allowed to direct it.

The Death Artist

An amusing, fitting, and tiny bit gory viral short for the UK release Jonathan Santlofer's The Death Artist, in which a serial killer makes art of his victims.

Sony Tries Too Hard

Or, the real, less cute one.

Comic ala VG Cats. Larger one here.

Superman Peanut Butter

An animated ad for the Superman brand Peanut Butter of the 80s. Superman is such a pussy in this. Must be all the sat fats slowing him up. Via Madona and the Superfriends.

Underdog Cheerios Commercial

A 1965 cereal commercial for Cheerios featuring Underdog, actually serving the purpose for which was originally intended for-- Underdog (along with a stable of other cartoon characters) was designed by the Dancer Fitzgerald Sample advertising agency in 1960 for cereal producers General Mills to sell cereal, it was only after he became the break out star did his adventures branch out a bit.
