Ramen — with a mega-dose of Viagra, apparently. Mega Bon(er)us!As you can read at the end of the ad, Energy Noodles says they are only legal in three states: Wyoming, North Dakota, and Texas. And, the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea. So, I suspect the list is a farce.Then you go to their website, where other products are showcased, including an Energy Noodle Bar (same typeface as Power Bar), and "power gliders" — which, after clicking, you find out are tampons (see package below)...

It’s a Tampax ad that was in Movie 43 . WARNING: fake gore. You probably hadn't seen the ad, since practically nobody saw the star-studded flop of a film when it was released earlier this year.I think they might have gotten their idea from the below real French Tampax ad.

Long gone is the heyday of great print and TV ads. What’s replacing them is desperate and pathetic “shockvertising.” Nobody reads hard copies of magazines and newspapers anymore.Print ads are as good as dead.Nobody watches TV commercials anymore, except during the Super Bowl.And those spots have gotten inarguably worse and worse in the last 20 years. What's an increasingly marginalized ad agency — long considered the one and only place to get "good creative" to do?Make videos, of course. That...

The Chip Shop winners were named Thursday at the London’s Ministry of Sound. These are the winners, plus a couple of my favorites. The best fake TV commercial of the year — Sensodyne. Well done. Smint cool mints. I would LOVE to see this on airplanes. This was the Grand Prix winner. It's decent, not my favorite. Ice cap business cards. Greenpeace should buy this idea. View Entire List ›

The ghosts of “Mad Men” still roam the halls of big ad agencies. Why not riff off the deaths of hundreds of people to sell your Bro Beer, Andes? How classy.

The Brits are masters at this. It’s for dog food, and coincidentally, tissues. The goddamn Brits know how to use emotion to sell products, don't they?Remember this amazingly moving commercial for Robinsons fruit drinks from last month?This time, we visit some wonderful European town, a town infinitely more wonderful than where you or I live. In this town lives a wonderful elderly gentleman and his wonderfully cute, obedient doggie. They are soulmates on a daily mission.With these mini-story t...

If it’s Monday, Don Draper has a hash hangover, and it’s time for Mad Men Sexist Ads of the Week. In 1968, at almost the exact moment Don Draper grabbed a nipple and smoked hash for the first time during last night's trippy Mad Men episode, Philip Morris introduced Virginia Slims, the first cigarette in history made for women.Chicago ad agency Leo Burnett produced the first ads, which featured a women's lib strategy and the now classic tagline. The copy was pretty humorous, and quite revoluti...

What with the riots in Sweden, Turkey, the Middle East, etc. Black Card (apparently not associated with Visa's Black Card) is a high-end luxury lifestyle magazine out of Brazil.These are new print ads for the magazine, the first advertising the title has even done, that I can find.Apparently, the Black Card editors and their ad agency, São Paulo's Dim & Canzian, don't follow world events — or they do follow them, and have chosen to be horribly, inappropriately ironic with their advertising.Th...

Welcome to 2013 America. Time to have your faith in this country destroyed again.Cheerios posted this heartwarming commercial to their YouTube page Tuesday. It has already surpassed 250,000 views, but not because of its heartwarming-ness.Yesterday, Cheerios disabled the comments because the section was turning into a vitriolic white supremacist message board straight out of American History X. I didn't screencap any of the comments, but Tim Nudd at AdWeek quotes some of the phrases, which inc...

Don Draper calls it a brilliant ad that sells the Hell out of tires. It’s the Mad Men Sexist Ad of the Week. As Draper would say in the boardroom when Sterling Cooper pitched Goodyear:"Fear, gentlemen. Fear is a powerful motivator. Are you afraid when a woman is behind the wheel? When your wife is driving alone to her stupid bridge club? Remember: YOU are the product. You feeling something, that's what sells. And advertising is based on one thing: happiness. Would you be happy if you wife end...

The world’s leading website is having a lot of difficulty advertising itself. Media critics wondered for years if and when Facebook would ever to do any self-promotional advertising. (Did they even need it? Their user number kept rocketing, unchecked.) The critics wondered what such an ad would look like, and what it would have to say.Then, last fall, with no warning, Facebook released "The Things That Connect Us," a 90-second beautifully-produced video opus that would also later air on prime...

New RadioShack ad seems to suggest that your Beats Pill can double as a dildo. NIce girth on that hot dog. Rather pathetically, nearly irrelevant RadioShack (aka, "The Shack") has made a desperate grab for the Y Generation market.The commercial, scored with "Blurred Lines," Robin Thicke's collaboration with Pharrell, and costumed with hot women in suggestive plastic clothing (just like his banned video), already has over 800,000 YouTube views. My guess is that those views will not transform i...

Brutally honest, refreshing new ads via Sweden. The ad agency press note:It's easier than ever to support a good cause — all you have to do is hit the like button. The organization gets one more supporter and you get positive publicity among your friends. But even though it's important to be liked, likes can't fund medicine, water or food.

It's called “Fundawear.” Now, your lover can foreplay you long-distance with a smartphone. Durex says this is a "world's first."Unfortunately, this is just at the experimental stage in Australia.In the video, model man and woman (probably not actual lovers) wear underwear with sensors in them.

Meet the “superficial girls of adland” — Smug Gal, Ditzy Gal, and Muffin Gal. I'm slightly disappointed that it's an ad for another useless diet product — LowLow brand low-fat cheese products of Ireland. But still, well played. "Ditzy Gal" has appeared in a few yogurt ads. "Smug Gal" — what with the red and white color theme — is obviously a swipe at the Special K commercials.

The commercial was scheduled to run in Arkansas this week. Strictly from ad ad critic point of view, that man was an excellent casting choice. According to EFF:"The ads, which were paid for through crowdfunding, were scheduled to run on local (Little Rock) ABC, NBC, and Fox stations this week, but were taken off the schedule when the stations got the (Exxon) memo. In February, Exxon pulled the same stunt when Comcast was set to air the ad during the president's State of the Union address.You ...
