Great work (as always) from W+K.

Below is still my favorite Lurpak spot … if only for it’s catchy tune:

Stoked the Yay Area’s team made it to the Super—l. Even more excited for the commercials. Last year’s VW The Bark Side was a standout. This year Samsung comes out of the gate with El Plato Supreme as a sign of a promising new crop of spots. Watch above as Bob Odenkirk gets all Saul Goodman with Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen.  See the rest »

Delicious Face-Off …

My only knowledge of Jack Huston is his Boardwalk Empire character’s war-torn face and compelling acting chops. The show makes you feel so much that you do forget he’s just a regular dude. Until you see him in the latest Guinness spot…

Alright, maybe not THE best. But it’s damn awesome. And, yes, that’s Sergio Cilli with the ‘stache. (Thanks, Beer Street Journal)

This one’s all about execution. And I don’t think Lucas could direct this furry troupe the way the folks at Deutsch did. Maybe that’s why he’s retiring from blockbusters.

Apparently, this is only a teaser for some Game Day celebration tie-in that Volkswagen is sponsoring. There’s even a site where you can get your name (and more?) in a customized Star Wars crawl. Woof. Check it here.

Man, I used to love flipping through my brother’s Beatles LPs and staring at the cover art. Glad Apple let them shine in their own commercial. Also, they’ve made an animated iBook of Yellow Submarine up for free download on iTunes.

As an Internet Lawyer, Kent Wesley has sued the pants of many a pants wearer.

You can watch these spots and get your Arrested Development fix (or Old Spice, depending on how you look at it) or if you’re really feelin’ motivated you can go to You’ve Got a Case on Facebook where he’ll “serve” your friends and family. (Thanks, Ty)

UPDATE: See Video 2

Lagunitas has been selling these badass Butterfly Bottle Openers for a while. So we helped them create these videos to teach you how to wield the things without spillin’ your beer (or makin’ a fool of yourself). Look for more very soon.

Let’s see, the last Old Spice Guy had a moustache on a boat. Now the new guy is a boat captain with a beard. Fingers crossed they’ll release a scented moustache wax / upper-lip antiperspirant.

While Ron Swanson‘s ‘stache is magnificent in all its Flanders-ishness, a handlebar’s a handlebar. Pretty tough to beat. Proven by this latest Heineken spot:

Is that the ‘stache from the LEGO CL!CK / Brick Thief spots?

Not as epic as the Hahn Beer Commercial. Nor as star-studded as the Van Damme Coors Light spot. And though it does manage, with a Scorcesian nod, to combine the Copacabana and the club in the 1968 Utica Club Beer club song,  it still won’t get me to drink a Heine.
