Comfort Wipe-a modern solution to “archaic” toilet paper

How on earth have we survived all these 1000’s of years without the Comfort Wipe? I wish this was a spoof.

Norton Furniture: providing you with credit AND trippy commercials

I laughed..and then I started to feel a bit uncomfortable.

“Nike Football-The Director’s cut” by Guy Ritchie

Very nice.

Thanks to Keith of Fulvew Productions for passing this one along.  See a sampling of Fulvew’s work, including a kick ass football commercial they produced, below.

Kids atv-24 volts of POWER!

Kind of funny.  If only  the boy was wearing a wife beater and the girl had a terrible bleach job showing her roots.  Then it would have truly captured the spirit of power machines……or my family reunion.

Thanks to Pye for this one.  He claimed he hated the commercial but it was only because he’s too big to fit into the mini-vehicle he bought….

Children can be birth control all on their own.

One of the most effective advertisements I’ve seen.  Very funny.

Mighty Putty Dub

A nice reworking of a Billy Mays “Mighty Putty” commercial.  A few NSFW words.

Mad props to Tourney Master Chris for sending this in.

“Gravel” music video by Orba Squara

Orba Squara will probably sound familiar to you if you’ve seen the original iPhone commercial or the TV ad for Flat Earth Chips. Smaller bands are able to make some decent money by licensing their songs to commercials. Lest anyone utter the word sell-out, realize that not only does the band get paid for the commercial, but it also exposes their songs to a far larger audience than they’d probably reached before. (well, the Led Zeppelin Cadillac commercial doesn’t count). My daughter would start dancing whenever she saw the Flat Earth Chips commercial, so I looked it up and got the album for her. Anyway, enjoy the video to “Gravel” from Orba Squara’s “Sunshyness” album.
