The most unbelievable commercial ever made.



Jennifer "Jenny from the Block" Lopez in a sub-$22k Fiat 500 driving around the Bronx?

Yeah, that happens.

Geico jumps the shark lizard.



I'm happy to say I can't blame The Martin Agency for this.  Apparently this was created by an internal creative team at Geico.

Warren Buffett as 'Axl Rose' singing about car insurance customer service? That makes as much sense to me as Ellen Page touting the amazing connectivity of Cisco's human network ... she is human, after all.

The inclusion of Buffett makes an otherwise acceptable spot (Customer service reps singing about their commitment to care with zeal) into a exercise in psychology: What were they thinking?

Luckily for Geico, the video has gone viral and the views keep coming.

Frankly speaking ...



If this Kay's commercial ended with the deaf girl singing the Kay's tagline "Every kiss begins with Kay" in her deaf-girl voice, I would run right out to Kay Jewelers and buy something horribly expensive. Make that two horribly expensive things.

Crass? yes. Awesome? Definitely.

I frankly do not know how to 'entertain' bathroom guests.

But you can earn ten grand from Charmin if you do.

At least they're returning Times Square to its roots, I guess.

Stillborn in the U.S.A.



Remember this whenever you are given a sales-motivation video assignment.

Smoke 'em if you ... smoke them?



Ridiculous? Awesome? Or both?

Out of shape.





Is Absolut trying to be the Coors Light of Vodkas? If so, this print work is helping ... is the bottle dead?

I give it a big meh. Care to disagree?

We are so getting sued.

By these remarkable marketers. Does that make them remarketers?

Do you need a flyer? A web banner? A giant wooden 'kiosk'?

Why didn't I think of a businessman actually riding a badger?!?! Boy, I am so dumb sometimes.

What's going on here?

This photo/graphic for mycokerewards.com has been troubling me:



Obviously this coke-drinking man is being somethered by a hat-wearing woman (or man?). Notice the desperation on his face: this is a man who loves to drink coke, but doesn't like being embraced by members of the opposite sex who have had at least one hand amputated by the margin of a web page. Seriously. Where's her hand? And is that other hand really hers? It looks gigantic for such a petite arm.

She's got man hands, Jerry.

Man hands she wants to get on your Coke!

Also, notice how the placement of the 20 ounce bottle of Coca Cola. It completely covers the face of the unknown hugger. Think about this. This says that Coca-Cola is superior to women. Especially hat-wearing women.

From A to Z (and everything in between)

It isn't even a prime number!

What the ????

Mmmmm.... fish eggs!

Never run out of Altoids.

Delight your children (yes, check the category) with this.

I'd like to receive royalties from sales of this.

And there's the ol' standby, Tuscan Milk. Yeah, there's 925 customer reviews of milk. (Not all of them entirely sarcastic.)
