~samsung 3D LED TV



let's see now.

1. introduce the new 3D TV. Check.
2. do it in the most interactive/creative way possible. Check.
3. tease with behind-the-scene clips to add realism. Check.
4. hire talents/actors as random, uninitiated crowds totally in awe. Check.
5. use ambient soundtrack that segues into an ever inspiring crescendo. Check.
6. and finally, show how thin/big/shiny the tv really is as a signoff. Check.
7. 3D glasses needed to use this very technology. Err..oops?

they somehow forgot to tell/imply/show that you would need 3D glasses to use this technology properly. still, i love the direction. the interpretation of endless imagination.

Kotex Makes Beaver Joke


AdGabber


Watch as an Australian woman totes her furry friend around, getting its hair done and nails painted. For their painstaking efforts, both Big and Little B are awarded with good-natured nods of approval from hot guys at the beach.

The spot ends in a restaurant, where Honey passes her beaver a giftwrapped container of Kotex U. "You've only got one ... so, for the ultimate care down there, make it U," a voiceover spouts inanely.

Hehehe..a kotex for yer beaver..get it?

ALS - Head and Shoulders



This commercial for the ALS Society of Canada hits hard and dramatically illustrates the life-altering effects of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease. In the spot, we see the increasingly debilitating effect of ALS and his family. It's not pretty. But then again, neither is the disease. And that's the whole point.

Unexpected Performance



Stansted Airport, London. 7 hidden cameras. 14 undercover actors. 1 unexpected performance... A really nice disruption campaign. Same old medium, different settings.

Wassup 2008



From director Charles Stone and his Wassup crew from the days of old, comes this updated Wassup spoof which captures the last eight year's worth of American "unfortunate events" such as the tanking economy, Iraq, New Orleans and more. The whole thing turns out to be an unofficial commercial for Barak Obama. And a well done one at that.

BBDO: Will Only Hire D-Cups?


AdGabber


To promote the Li Yue Long Men Young Creatives Competition, BBDO/Shanghai is using this :45 video to spread the weirdest rumour: that all its female staff members are D-cups.

Finding three young D-cups in all of Asia is a feat, which alone made the video worth watching. I also like the effect the cheesy music had on this slow exploration of the Shanghai office. It made all that leering look less ... leery.

Bigger, Fuller, Bouncier ... Double-Breasted Burgers

Nobody ever tires of a transparent double entendre, right?

Bearing that wisdom in mind, Nando's released an ad where a blonde ditz flags down a waitress because her burger didn't come with chips. (That's British talk for "fries.")

"They're on your plate," the waitress points out.

"No they're not," the hungry hippo blasts back.

The waitress gives her a puzzled look, then slowly moves the plate out from under the girl's rack, where -- lo and behold -- the prodigal fries lie limp and expectant.

As the embarrassed beauty struggles to locate her drinking straw without looking, a hearty voiceover delivers the punchline: "The bigger, fuller, bouncier double breasted burger from Nando's!"

Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul


Find more videos like this on AdGabber


For its album Dig Out Your Soul, which debuts October 7, Oasis gathered 15 street bands and taught them the lyrics and sheet music for four of its new songs.

Lat week, the bands were then deployed all over the city -- mostly to subways -- to perform the music with their own flavor. Each performance featured a little sign that said, "You are the first to hear this new Oasis song" -- bringing a little bit of magic to busy commuters, and some eclectic street charm to Oasis's new oeuvre.

Nice to see the high-profile artists disseminate their music with such an open-arms, interpretive approach. Feels so human.
