Deutsch is doing some pretty clever projection advertising for Tylenol PM around New York City. The video here, from Flickr users Steve and Sara, shows a parade of sheep bouncing off a "Sleep tight" headline on a blank wall in Brooklyn. The New York Times has a short piece on another execution in Ma...

Goodby, Silverstein & Partners has created a bunch of new spots for Comcast featuring a groovy mix of live action and animation, with characters singing about the cable company in a Moldy Peaches/Juno-esque hipster monotone. See just a whole assload of them here. They've also set aside a piece o...

German ad agency Scholz & Friends has gone all political on us with this campaign for Becks modeling clay, a kind of European Play-Doh. Using the slogan "Let the kids build a better world," the ads featuring cool clay dioramas showing unlikely friendships: Jews and Arabs re-enacting Saturday Nig...

This German PSA for the International Fund for Animal Welfare, in which an elephant does a graceful impression of an inbound aircraft, allegedly makes the point that while traveling abroad, you should think twice about bringing home souvenirs that are made from animal products. Which I guess it does...

It surprised us to learn that the Coen Brothers directed this anti-coal spot, mostly because there's no swearing or violent, gratuitous death in it. But it's pretty effective otherwise, and it is funny how clean-coal advocates will bitch and gripe about ethanol when clean coal is even less tenable a...

Those wacky Brits are at it again. This time, the designers of a new office complex in Sheffield have installed a giant slide to whisk employees from the third floor of the building to the first. We suspect they got the idea from that famous Barclaycard ad, posted above, or perhaps from the network ...

I must say, I was disappointed when I learned that something called a "15,000-butt billboard" turned out to be an anti-smoking thing. But I suppose I should put my game face on for this – it's not every day that Cigarette Hitler gets topped (he was made of just 13,000 smokes). According to Copyran...

Aside from the awesome champagne, the rest of the glitz and glamour associated with the Academy Awards is getting toned down a bit this year. Apparently, agents have informed their celebrity clients about the recent economic troubles, and are advising them not to flaunt their wealth. Brands are also...

This might be the wrong economic climate in which to launch Despondex, "the first-ever prescription depressant," but it's hard to deny The Onion its subversive merrymaking. And there's certainly an appeal to any drug that keeps people from personalizing their license plates. Homeopathic methods of t...

Holy crap, the comptroller of the state of Maryland actually made a "Real Men of Genius" ad. About taxes. With horrible production values. It seems all the hip taxpayers are filing their taxes online with E-File, and they respect old-world craftsmanship way more than their paper-pushing counterparts...
