Creative Criminals

This is an odd commercial for Hashahar Haole, an Israeli chocolate brand. John Cleese, the british comedian, plays a Western general who, at the behest of Israel, accidentally orders a military strike on a foe, presumably Iran. Some think of it as propaganda, some think it is funny.
What do you think?

This might be one of the creepiest commercials you’ve ever seen. It is for the American brand “Little Baby’s Ice Cream” and shows a woman eating ice cream from her head.. The second commercial features the same ‘creature’ but is a bit less disgusting…

McDonald’s UK’s £10 million responsive advertising campaign to celebrate London 2012 – ‘We All Make The Games’ – was designed to use a multitude of media channels to capture, replay and celebrate the people, moments, and emotions that are helping make the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games such a spectacular event.

Cool commercial from Twix, the chocolate biscuit made by Mars, Inc. According to them this is the absolutely true, non-fiction history of Twix. Love the vintage and the “Charlie and the Chocolate factory“-atmosphere.

Well, this is an interesting approach to promote something as basic as a jar of mayonnaise. The cash receipt in the supermarket was never used in a way like they did in this campaign. It’s an extremely direct medium which can prove to be very efficient, if used in the right way. In this case they printed recipes on the receipt which could be made with the ingredients the customer bought. Can you go more direct than this?

The brand Fantastic Delites wanted to see how far people are ready to go for their favorite crackers. They installed a crazy machine, the Delites-O-Matic, in the middle of Melbourne airport. The machine challenges passers-by before delivering free samples.

Another commercial is added to the Skittles series. We are always talking about absurdness when we talk about Skittles. Well this one does it again. You don’t really know what it is you are watching, but surely you’ll find it funny.

Chocolates with whisky in them will probably never get you a DUI. Yet again, if you have a lot of them? This print is suggesting the worst case scenario in a fun way. This kid had one too many chocolates and crashed it’s toy car because of drunk driving.

During the Chinese Dragon Festival, a board with 11,000 holes in it appeared near a newly opened cafe. Chopsticks were handed out and you had to split them, pushing one into the board and keep the other one in order to receive a discount. This resulted in a huge dragon billboard made by more than 10.000 chopsticks.
