Sorry about the no-post yesterday – sick. Not hugely better today either so after this I’m going back to bed. But it is Friday and I am a creature of habit so today in an effort to be morally uplifting we shall be mostly looking at sex in advertising and beer commercials and the first clips are probably definitely not worksafe, so don’t say you weren’t warned.
Here beginneth the NSFW. Scroll down to the bonus clips for the worksafe stuff. This first is from an Aussie phone company and shows the cruciality of timing:
This oddly ’50s-ish spoof credit-card ad is one that says an enormous amount about the current state of US gender relations, while still being very funny:
Given the level of public prudery and private vice in the US, I can’t say I’m surprised that this next, lubriciously funny commercial never made it to air, but for the very same reasons I’m even less surprised it’s found a happy life on YouTube.
We yurpeens have no such moral qualms about what’s broadcast in ads. Here’s an Axe (Lynx for us normals UKians) shower gel ad, done in a Germano-porn stylee:
And from the Nerherlands and specially for Wim, an object lesson on why it can useful to learn English.
Here endeth the NSFW.
Bonus clips:
Here’s a brace of hilarious antpodean beer commercials, first from Aussie brewer Tooheys:
Ever wondered how you can get a job at a brewery? Carlton beer shows how:
Now this is a big beer ad, and I mean big. It may be the biggest beer ad ever. Again from Carlton:
New Zealand’s beer ads are even better. Tui beer has gone all Little Britain on us: recognise those mellifluous tones?
And the followup ad:aww, cute ducks.
Bonus bonus clip:
Not sure beer was what the makers of Lego had planned for their product, exactly. Genius.
