Thanks to Ryan for this one, a great Flickr set showing how some guy is going round London chopping the heads off the people in adverts. Great idea and nicely done…




The Snowman drinks Irn Bru

Here’s the Irn Bru Christmas advert, a Snowman pastiche and quite funny…

…personally I like the bit where he throws his nose away. (A carrot rather than an orange for contractual copyright reasons…)




Another hairy drummer

I’m pretty fed up of hearing how amazing the Cadbury’s Phil Collins advert is by now. In fact I was fed up of hearing about it even before I’d seen it properly and had a chance to make up my own mind. It IS great but enough already. Having said that, you’ve got to admit that the Wonderbra pastiche is pretty inspired. Calm down, it’s only a bit of fun…




Commuters will read anything

Dull Poster

Yes, they certainly will. If you have forgotten to bring the latest Harry Potter book with you this morning, didn’t have time to buy a newspaper and came off second best in the mad scrabble for a copy of Metro, then you’re left stood in the packed carriage, nestled under an armpit, reading the horoscopes over someone else’s shoulder or comitting all the stops on the current line to memory. Someone else is reading a novel, although they keep turning the pages before you’ve finished them – It won’t be long before you turn to the adverts throughout the carriage, travel insurance, property investments, Paul McKenna can make you rich, something on at the O2 etc etc, then this one which I saw the other morning: Even posters this dull get read. It’s funny ’cause it’s true.

Leaves you wondering why they need graphic designers to make them look nice as well…




Obligatory Bravia post…

OK, so I’ve cracked. I didn’t want to post this but I’m going to. Did you know that Sony Bravia make quite nice TV adverts?

They’re all over the web already, and I can’t imagine anyone out there has missed them, but I thought I’d pull them all together here in one place. Once. Until they do another one of course…

The first one was “Balls” (No, really)

Then came “Paint”

Now it’s “Play Doh”

Check out the Fallon website for more Play Doh info, and you can watch them all in a nifty interface at higher quality on the official site…

Oh, and I also found this one: “Pyramid”, which hasn’t made it over here and has gone under the radar a bit…




A Few Good Creative Men

Thanks Sean…
