MTV is about as far removed from Rock n Roll as can be. It is difficult to spot any music videos through the crap that is reality TV shows and pointless dating programs. Yet, MTV still proclaims to be the voice of a generation and a music television channel and to prove this notion they come up with some cool commercial for MTV itself. Rock is Hard is true Rock n Roll. MTV still sucks, though.
Years ago car manufacturer made some cools ads involving their cars turning into robots. Everyone loved them and Chevrolet noticed. Being the sponsor of the movie Transformers the Chevy advertising agency came up with something really funny and original. You’ve guessed it, one of the Chevy cars (the crappy Aveo) turns into a dancing robot. If ads say anything about the product they are advertising I wouldn’t buy a Chevy to save my life as basically its a Daewoo in disguise.
Manchester United dumped Barcelona out of the Champions League last night. Tonight it is Liverpool’s turn to do the same to Chelsea. The end of the regular football season is nearing it’s end and the fans that have nothing left to celebrate are looking forward to the Euro 2008 championships in June. In the run up sportswear companies such as Puma, Adidas and Nike pull out all the stops to convince us to buy their products. Nike’s latest effort is probably one of their very best to date. It is called The Next Level and it looks amazing. It was directed by Guy Ritchie aka Mr. Madonna.
Carlton Draight are the good people that brought us the Big Ad. And there back with an even better commercial. The Carlton Draight Sky Troops are ready for your enjoyment. makes you want one right?
There is always one. And it is almost always the same person. You can often spot them a mile away at any family party. The drunk relative. It starts out fun and people laugh at his/her antics, buit it can turn sour very quickly. Especially if children get involved. Personally we try to just remember the happy times with uncle Mark.
In the olden days you asked a farmer to wring the neck of a chicken if you wanted to eat drumsticks that evening. Now you simply walk into any fast food joint and ask for a bucket of the stuff. But, according to the industry we are still not eating enough poultry from a bucket and I am not sure if this documentary is going to help a whole lot. It is nice to see the Spears family being able to cash in on the fame Britney gave them.
It’s here! Sony’s latest commercial. We’ve been looking forward to this one ever since we posted those homemade videos. After the Bouncing Balls, Exploding Paint and Bunnies for the Bravia TV’s Sony has gone the same route of coolness for their digital cameras. The result is their Foam City commercial filmed in Miami. I like it and I’d like it even more if Sony would finally grace me with some of their (free) products. Yes, I am not too proud to beg.
What is a high school girl with no diploma to do these days. Go into porn. Just follow Landey’s lead and all will be well with you and your stretched anus in 5 years time.
If you are rude like me you say the word fuck a lot. Particularly in situations that are out of your control. Bud Light tries to claim these situations, but being a money making enterprise won’t use the word fuck. Instead they use the word Dude. It kind of take the edge of things and that is a shame. I think they are hoping it becomes a Wazzzup Number 2, but trust me, it won’t.
They weirded us out with their drumming gorilla commercial and they’ve done it again. Those crazy guys at Cadbury’s chocolate should stay off their own product as the sugar is surely rising to their head. Their latest offering involves an airport and a host of service trucks. It almost looks like a real life version of animation hit Cars. Beautifully made with a great soundtrack and once again nothing to do with the product. Respect.
Let’s continue along the lines of the Fluffy Tails commercial. I have not shaved for the better part of 8 years and I’ve saved myself a fortune and a lot of pissing about with razors with 2, 3, 4 and 5 blades to give you the best shave ever. All a load of bullshit. Waxing is still king.
One of the best commercial of 2007 was the Guinness - Tipping Point ad. Cool idea, excellent execution and fun to watch. A great commercial to duplicate. But, you do need a pot of money. And if you don’t have that pot of money you simply make a poor man’s version of it. Roll up, roll up. Here’s the Pot Noddle spoof Tipping Pot.
If you’ve got a cockroach problem it probably means you are a dirty SOB that needs to start cleaning your home superfast. Or you could buy some funcky chemicals to do the trick for you. I think this might be a product worth trying. If it doesn’t get rid of the cockroaches it will sure as hell get you as high as the dude in the video.
Lets talk politics for a second. Russia is going to the polls to pick a new president. The likelihood that current President Putin’s preferred candidate will win is about 110%. How do we know? Well, have you seen the election campagin video yet? It is one big bloody mess. It kick the crap out of those US smear campaign videos ad all you have just read is bs.
For those of you that visit our forum frequently you’ll know what this post is about when I just say NaughtyTeddy. For those that don’t I suggest you start visiting our forum and meet NT and all she has made for TC and Totally NSFW. I’ll give you clue. This video has to do with cucumbers, parents and sandwiches.
We’ve all made a mix-tape at some point in our lives. Whether for a girlfriend, a friend, for your car or a playlist on your generic mp3 player, chances are we have all done it, in one way or another. But one sad, young man who has probably scared more girlfriends off with his obsessive compilations has decided to open up a store, buying and selling mix-tapes. Shame it’s in his parents basement and the fact that nobody owns a tape deck any more and the fact that it’s not real. But if it was, i’d be in there, digging for gems. And trying not to make eye-contact with your man behind the counter.
In the UK, most of our internet and cable tv comes to us via a network of old fashioned telephone lines. They can’t keep up with the usage, and that’s why we get shit speeds. But some lucky people around the world are going to start having fibre optic cables laid around town, that will speed up all kinds of shit. Not that they will be laying them outside my house any time soon, but the advert for them is still worth a watch. If not just to see professional hack/director Michael Bay’s giant Transformers BBQ. Yeah, i know he’s a twat, but he’s got a nice house. And i want one of those in my garden.
I have seen some bad commercials in my life, but the Eagle Man and Eagle Woman ones take the crown. I guess in the world of media there really is no such thing as bad publicity. Seriously, wath them, they’ll provide you with a dinner conversation topic.
The receptionist is a moose, the marketing manager a donkey, your boss a monkey and the chairman a snake. basically you work your ass off in a zoo. Time to get yourself a real job and start blogging 24/7.
Ladies of TC (I know there’s about three of you). Are you stuck? Are you incapable of letting that little brain rattle at full speed? Have you no clue as to what to give your bed fellow for Valentine’s Day? Don’t worry. Here’s your answer.
