Wow. And all this for a cell phone commercial. Impressive! A Japanese adverting agency, Drill Inc., built a mile-long giant wooden xylophone in the middle of a forest where each wooden key was made up of individual notes so that when a ball was rolled down it, it would play Bach's famous Cantata 147. The video from 2011 has been viewed over 14M times...
A three minute ad?? No way. Who has time for a 3-min ad? Better yet, who WATCHES a 3-min ad? Apparently many. It's a 3-min TV ad for a British wood stain, Ronseal One Coat Fence Life, which shows a man painting a fence in a quiet neighbourhood - and it has got people going crazy, some referring to it as "oddly mesmerizing". Just watch and see if you can turn away. Oh, and just in case you need to see the finished results, check out video #2 - which is even longer!...
At Ronseal we're famous for our straight-talking approach. And no ads are as straight-talking as our #RonsealAdBreak takeover.
The phenomenon is called Slow TV. In an age of speed and multiple flashing images, often layered or inserted over each other, the idea of “slow” is gaining popularity. Simply point a camera and let an event play out in its entirety.
Love the #RonsealAdBreak takeover so much, you wished it carried on and on? Then you're in luck. Here's our man carrying on and finishing off the job. And what a finish.
They're baaaaaack! Check out the latest Evian Baby commercial featuring those dancing babies who are more like surfer babies with Lilly Wood and The Prick's version of The Beach Boys' "Kokomo" adding to the great feel...
Rapping while tread milling (is that a word?). Taylor Swift seemed to have taken the internet by storm once again, this time with this Apple ad video (with over 9M views), promoting Apple's music streaming service. Maybe it's because what happened to her near the end of the video?...
It's big guy vs little guy in this Coca-Cola ad which aired during Super Bowl 50 and which some are saying is their best one yet...
Two thirsty heroes. Only one Coca-Cola Mini. Witness an epic chase between Marvel’s biggest and smallest Super Heroes: the Incredible Hulk and Astonishing Ant-Man. Despite their differences in size, Hulk and Ant-Man both know what it’s like to get thirsty. But when there's just one #CokeMini left in the fridge, who will prevail?
Lol. Ryan Reynolds is literally all over the place in this Super Bowl ad for Hyundai. The video has been viewed over 2M times already!...
We all get distracted. And that’s why the All-New Hyundai Elantra protects you with advanced safety features like Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection. After all, you never know what you’re (not) going to run into out there.
Pokemon releasing a Super Bowl commercial? And why the hell not! At least it encourages kids to "train on". Now how many hidden Pokemon references can you spot?...

Wow. These adverts get more and more touching every year. After watching this haunting Johnnie Walker ad from Germany, we think we'll go pick ourselves up a bottle. Seriously though, the ending was unexpected but you'll have to watch it and find out as these two brothers roam along Scotland's Isle of Skye as they reminisce about being 'free'...
We're not sure what being straight or gay has to do with shopping at uh... this Robert Dyas store but this video ad is surely but slowly drawing a lot of attention. Whether it's good attention or not, is another story. We'll give them points for uhm... being different...
Did you see that tear he shed at the end?? Lol.Another 'grandpa' related Christmas ad - with a twist. This time involving Pornhub because after all, nothing says loving like a totally ad-free porn experience... uh, at least for grandpa anyways. Besides, Pornhub claims to have the largest collection of exclusive full length HD adult titles available in crisp 1080p resolution. What more could he possibly ask for...
It was only uploaded a few days ago on YouTube and already this (English sub-titled) video by EDEKA, Germany's largest supermarket chain, has over 3M views and counting. Get the Kleenexes ready...

Hockey pros Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon serving up morning coffee at a Tim Horton's drive-thru? Yup! Residents of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia were in for a surprise when these guys decided to show up at their local Timmies drive-thru. As for that first order from that guy, did he say Jahlapeno? Uh, the 'j' is silent. It's pronounced with an 'h', more like hallapeño. Oh well, you say tomahto, we say tomayto...
Can you imagine how long this must have taken? Stop-motion film creators from PESfilm, created this Honda film using dozens of animators and illustrators and thousands of original drawings - all done by hand! The masterpiece took four months to put together...
Great slow-motion capture of the reactions on kids' faces after biting into and eating dark chocolate for the first time as seen in another effective video ad by the Israeli group BBR Saatchi & Saatchi for Strauss Group's Splendid brand...
"Most Israeli moms actually keep a full drawer stocked with goodies, which by the end of the week is bound to need serous refurbishing," says agency rep Eva Hasson. "But curiously, often enough, the only pack left half eaten in the drawer is the dark chocolate. This got us thinking, and we realized Splendid chocolate—being as dark and bitter a chocolate as you can get—probably lacked the sweetness kids were after."
While the grown-up treat may offend immature palates, we're assured at the spot's conclusion that the candy will sweeten adult dispositions. (The effect on adult waistlines, however, may not be to everyone's taste.)
"We filmed quite a few kids," Hasson says, "but, to be honest, none of the kids really liked it. Most of them begged us to stop and one even cried."
Even the driver is cool in this cool bus - an ad for the Edmonton Transit System. So are you cool enough to ride it or what? Unfortunately, the vid seems to be getting flack as it is said to be identical to another ad campaign video (see 2nd vid), for Midttrafik (a regional public transit system in Denmark), right down to the slow-mo, the music and the lines from the Danish version...
“There’s no hiding the similarities,” said ETS spokesperson Jennifer Laraway. “We saw something we thought was a really strong campaign – it’s garnered a lot of online attention, and that is fully to their credit. We didn’t expect it to take off as much as it has here. But we want to make sure that credit stays where it’s due.” - theglobeandmail
In this great Israeli razor ad called “My New Face”, a 44-year-old father named Amit gets rid of his facial hair after 14 years, something his wife and children have never seen.
