But really...what makes this channel stand above everyone else? Watch this video and you'll understand. The Discovery Channel reminds me why I love this world...and what's better than that? Eighteen months ago, the Discovery Channel made their first "I Love the World"… Continue

Love, Peace, and Grease: Tiger, Jeter and Federer are Extra Greasy in New Gillette Commercial

Tiger Woods, Derek Jeter and Roger Federer strut their greasy stuff to the Bee Gee's "Staying Alive" in Gillette's "Walk of Gillette" commercial. The TV ad launched on the same day the new Yankee Stadium opened. Watching the ad left me with the same feeling as when I accidentally ate five pieces of Popeye's fried chicken the other day - oily and a little bit disgusted. I don't care how many combined kajillions they're worth. They need to close those buttons back on up. Sorry… Continue

Cockney Eyebrow: UK Candy Commercial features Advanced Children.

What is this Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate bar and where can I get one? The awesome advert features a lad and a lass who engage in a fierce battle of expressions. Confection perfection!

Levi's wants you to think that wearing their jeans will make attractive women want to take theirs off in front of you. The two denim-clad sexpots in this ad reveal that they’re just not that into the truth, an ability that will help you get those jeans off of said women. Best part?

Scent of a Caveman: Lynx Deodorant Ad (video)

A darling "advert" a.k.a. commercial with aK accent for Lynx deodorant, Axe's British-brand cousin, tells the story of how the first metro was created, and encourages the modern man to "Unleash the Man Leather". Think of it as "Metro Begins". Lynx took the marketing a step further, and published a study that showed men who used Lynx deodorant were seen as more attractive by females than men who used a "placebo" deodorant with no fragrance. But it was not a smell test!… Continue
