The controversial energy shot, 5-Hour Energy has just come out with a new commercial that seems to be inspired by the famous Old Spice guy commercials that star Isaiah Mustafa.
In the commercial, the hot guy shown above shares his crazy, unrealistic list of activities and tasks that he has accomplished in the last five hours. Whether that is having gone for a run (while knitting a sweater), writing a novel (in Spanish), or recording his debut single (also in Spanish…LOL). I especial love the disclaimer caption that reads, “For comedic purposes only. Not actual results.” LOL.
I’ve probably only ever had one of these once or twice and there’s a lot of discussion right now around their potential negative effects on you and whether their “no crash” claim is actually accturate. All of that aside, enjoy watching the hot 5-Hour Energy guy in the entertaining commercial below.
If you answered yes to that question then you’re the kind of person Nasty Pig is looking for? The Chelsea clothing retailer is asking its customers to tweet images of themselves in Nasty Pig attire and tweet them to #iamNASTYPIG. It’s all for their new social media winter ad campaign.
About Nasty Pig
Nasty Pig designs, manufactures and retails innovative clothing and edgy products for the masculine, sexually self-assured man who wears his confidence on his sleeve. Our customers love the progressive attitude expressed by our functional, durable product, and it has been our honor to serve them for over a decade.
The company recently released promo videos featuring two very sexy men- Matthew Camp and Mark Kane. You definitely have to watch them. They’re SFW but extremely HOT. I can’t figure out which one is my favorite. Personally, I think Mark is smoking hot, but there’s something about the way Matthew moves that gets me worked up. I love me some hot buff go-go boys ;) Watch them both below and cast your vote.

I love a clever commercial/ad campaign and this is one of them. In an effort to show how captivated people can be while reading a newspaper, they came up with a commercial that shows three people who are so wrapped up in their paper, they don’t realize the bizarre things going on around them.
“On behalf of Newspaperswork, the marketing platform for all Belgian newspaper publishers, we gave three top advertisers a free ride in a chauffeur-driven car. So that, for once, they could read their newspaper in peace and quiet. And they kept on reading. Despite the fact that we provided more than enough to distract them….”
There is no way I would agree to being driven around while reading a newspaper. I get carsick if I read anything at all while riding in a car – LOL. Watch the video below – as you can see, there are some hunky limo drivers taking their pants off in store for you below.

One of my favorite gadgets in my kitchen is without a doubt my SodaStream. In case you don’t know what it is, it is a device that allows you to carbonate your own water at home, and then add flavored syrup (comes in sugar-free as well) so that you can make your own soda. There are over 60 yummy flavors in total! Not only is SodaStream insanely convenient and easy to use, it also saves you money in the long run and most importantly is far better for the environment.
“With SodaStream, you can save 2,000 bottles and cans a year,” the company states. With people not buying all of those bottles & canned sodas, the soda company giants are not too thrilled. U.K. broadcast company Clearcast banned the ad before it was set to debut during a commercial break from the UK’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here. Clearcast gave the following explanation for their decision: “In our view, its visual treatment denigrated other soft drinks which put it in breach of the BCAP code.’
SodaStream recently announced that they’ll be airing a commercial during the SuperBowl in February (maybe even this one). In the banned commercial, cases of pop bottles explode every time someone uses their SodaStream. Watch it below.

The One Million Moms are at it again, setting an awful example for their children and demonstrating the opposite of what the holiday season is all about. The group is once again bullying Ellen DeGeneres by threatening a boycott of JC Penney simply for having her in the ads. So ridiculous. I applaud JC Penney for sticking with Ellen every step of the way.
This is what the One Million Moms Bullies had to say about the commercial on their site: “CP has made their choice to offend a huge majority of their customers again,’ the group states on its website. ‘Christians must now vote with their wallets. We have contacted JC Penney’s several times in the past with our concerns, and they will not listen. They have decided to ignore our complaints so we will avoid them at all costs.’
Ellen has stood up for herself already, making an amazing statement on her show about all of this hogwash when if first started in early 2012. I don’t think she has to say anything more. Check out the cute & funny commercial below and feel free to do some of your holiday shopping at JC Penney!

Old Navy has just released a new Christmas commercial with the help of some familiar faces that you could call “the gift of Christmas past”…. Jordan Knight from New Kids On The Block and Boyz II Men. Holiday icon, Johnny Mathis tells a “classic-ier” version of ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas, calling it ‘Twas The Jordan Knight Before Christmas. LOL.
In the commercial, a family is at home on the night before Christmas looking all bummed out. Just then, the fireplace swivels around and Jordan Knight appears and breaks into song, with two female elves as backup dancers. Jordan then gives them gifts from Old Navy, and like magic, they don’t even have to open the presents – they just all of a sudden are wearing their new clothes. Next comes my favorite part of the whole commercial, when Three Wise Boyz II Men show up at the door singing a modified version of one of their hits.
With tomorrow being December 1, it’s pretty much time to start getting into the holiday spirit and this cute video is a “Step by Step” in that direction. Enjoy and Happy Friday!

Academy Award winner, Morgan Freeman has lent his legendary voice to various commercials, documentaries and campaigns over the course of his career. Now, the 75-year old has lent his voice to a new national HRC commercial called “Dawn of a New Day for Marriage Equality“. In the commercial, Freeman says the following:
“America stands at the dawn of a new day. Freedom, justice, and human dignity have always guided our journey towards a more perfect union. Now, across our country, we are standing together for the right of gay and lesbian Americans to marry the person they love. And With historic victories for marriage, we’ve delivered a mandate for full equality. The wind is at our back. But our journey has just begun.”
Complimenting his narration are beautiful visuals of various scenic landscapes, clips of Martin Luther King, clips of gay and lesbian couples and families together, and more. It’s so great to have such a famous and recognizable voice support such an important cause. Watch the new commercial below.

I love a good ad campaign and this new commercial from Le Slip Francais definitely falls into that category.
Shot and edited in a way to resemble a commercial from the ’50s or ’60s, the commercial features a woman who places two eggs on one side of the table, and two on the other. Hmm, I wonder what these are supposed to represent? She then shows us two different pairs of men’s underwear. The first is your basic, unflattering “not so tighty” whitey. The other is a sexy and more flattering pair of Le Slip Francais. She lays each of the undies of the two pairs of eggs. As you can see in the photo above, there’s also a hammer on the table…
I don’t want to spoil what happens next, so you’ll have to watch the commercial below to find out what happens. The ad agency responsible is BETC Paris. Enjoy!
Watch the commercial after the jump…
