    New PS3 Ads Celebrate the Simple Pleasure of Beheading an Inlaw

    If this PS3 ad were a bit more honest, it might read, "Destroy 7000 enemies along with your relationship with your wife." More »

    Oh Snap! Guess What I Saw!

    Seriously, folks: Guess what I saw in this oddly catchy commercial for the Shack, because I can't figure it out. All I know is that Biz Markie is excited about something and that there's a squirrel DJ. More »

    Number of Hand Jobs Skyrocketing Due to Handheld Gadget Ads

    Oh, that naughty iPhone! And you, filthy Android! What about you, Kindle, you raunchy digital book, you! You just don't get tired of being fondled and rubbed in front of the cameras, don't you? Apparently not, according to Danielle Korwin: More »

    On the First Day of Christmas, My iPhone Gave to Me...

    Apple takes advantage of all my weaknesses in their new Christmas-themed iPhone ad. It's not only whimsical and cutesy, but it also mentions cookies, coffee, and several feet of snow. What more could a gal want? More »

    I Can't Believe It Took Us This Long

    While it looks like the famous tagline has been tweaked for legal reasons, I know a xylographic of Justin Long when I see one. As does my green Reading folder. $12. [Etsy via ChipChick]

    Totally Screw Up Gadget Ads by Changing One Letter

    Here's one for all my pun-loving friends out there: let's make gadget ads that are fundamentally and irrevocably changed by adding, changing or dropping a single letter from the name of the device. More »

    Seven Taglines You Can't Repeat Without Sounding Like an Asshole

    There's hardly a spokesasshole in the world of tech who doesn't throw around some kind of tagline. And that's fine because it's his job, but there's no reason for you to repeat those taglines. Especially any of these seven. More »

    European Droid (AKA Milestone) Commercial Makes Ours Look Barbaric

    American commercials for Motorola's Droid might be bold, but they're also kind of scary and threatening. In Europe, the renamed Milestone is much calmer, gentler and friendlier than the DROID SMASH we're privy to. More »

    I Can't Stop Smiling Over Google Chrome's New Ad

    There's something incredibly whimsical about Google Chrome's artsy new ad that making me smile. Maybe it's just because the "Speed" section of the ad keeps making me think of those crazy contraptions in Tom and Jerry cartoons. [Thanks, Emery!]

    According to This Commercial, We All Need and Deserve HandJobs

    This commercial has left me convinced that I need to order a five dollar HandJob right now. I'm just confused about whether I'll be getting what I think I'm getting or a weird kitchen tool. More »

    Japan's Subway Etiquette Posters Warn of Drunkeness, Cuddling and Crying Women

    Since 2008, Japan's subways have kindly asked that you do certain things at home, the beach or in your yard—anywhere but the train. But without reading the text, these images leave a lot of room for my misinterpretation... More »

    Michael Bay Goes Too Far, Directs Victoria's Secret Commercial

    Michael Bay isn't talentless. After all, he gave us the first Transformers movie. No no, MIchael Bay is a genius. The catch is that he's also an insidious prankster. More »

    Steve Wozniak Stars in Local Car Commercial With "Punker, the Boss's Dog"

    I don't even know what to say about this. Woz apparently just does whatever the hell he feels like, and right now he feels like appearing (with his Segway) in a local commercial for a Toyota dealership and repair shop. More »

    Brutally Honest Ads: A More Honest Luke Wilson Shills for AT&T

    The original Luke Wilson AT&T ads always struck me as a bit sketchy, like they weren't really telling the whole truth. So I fixed that. Here's the original for reference if you're lucky enough to be unfamiliar.

    Buy a Google Phone or Google Will Make Your Life Miserable

    Using Google for your entire online life is all well and good until they want something from you in return. Then you realize how much of an upper hand you've given them. [CollegeHumor]

    'A 10-Year-Old Can Do It Blindfolded!'

    There is so much odd and potentially wrong in regards to this vintage dishwasher ad, I don't even know where to begin. [Flickr via copyranter]

    Droid Commercial Paints iPhone as "Digitally Clueless Beauty Pageant Queen"

    Ohhh shit, y'all. This is getting dirty. Motorola/Verizon's newest Droid ad not only depicts the iPhone as a tiara-wearing, Sandra-Bullock-worshipping Barbie doll, it actually shows a clearly identifiable iPhone. It's both inflammatory and in your face. Right up in it! More »

    Some Friendly Texting Advice From James Lipton's Beard

    Everyone knows that stroking a beard helps you think. And there are few beards more majestic than James Lipton's. So it makes sense that LG is using said beard to promote responsible texting in these actually-amusing ads. More »

    Thinkpad Bus Seats Inaugurate New Buttputing Era

    First question: How tough are Thinkpad notebooks? Tough enough to be installed in buses and tram shuttles as seats and keep working just fine. Second question: Are the trackpads scrotumsensitive? I like to think they are. More »

    The Killed Windows 7 Family Guy Special Even More Horrible Than I Imagined

    Microsoft's posted the clips from Family Guy's killed hackathon that would've shilled for Windows 7, and they're even more brain-liquefyingly stupid than I thought. Just watch, but when your brains leak out your ears, don't say I didn't warn you. More »

    Spectacular Stop Motion Book Ad Make eBooks Seem Downright Soulless

    This stop-motion ad by the New Zealand Book Council makes me glad I don't own a Kindle or a Nook, and it makes me want to go grab a book immediately. Preferably a gritty New Zealand western. [Arbora via TDW]

    Verizon Whines About Sprint's "Most Dependable" Claims

    Apparently Verizon has gotten cocky after its court victory over AT&T and decided it wants an encore. This time the wireless provider is playing the bully as it demands that Sprint cease claiming that it's "America's most dependable 3G network." More »

    Best Buy's Holiday Carolers Make Me Want to Murder

    It's not even Thanksgiving yet, but already Best Buy seems to have won the "most annoying holiday ad of the season" award. Seriously, try to sit through one of these without squirming around uncomfortably and wanting to punch the screen.

    New Apple Ads Get In on the AT&T vs. Verizon Slapfest

    You think Apple is going to take its fancy phone being relegated to the Island of Misfit Toys in a Verizon ad laying down? Nope. These two new iPhone ads seem to gun right at the big V. More »

    Vintage Cheese: Nothing Says Holidays Like a Family High on Technology

    Hands up if you're taking a laptop home this weekend to escape family craziness by jumping online for a while. Me too. But if you believe these bizarre 1980s ads, computers were meant to foster an age of dazed family-togetherness. More »

    AT&T Goes on the Offensive With New "Side by Side" Commercial

    Just as AT&T's injunction for the Verizon "There's a map for that" ads to be taken off-air was denied, the company's own pugnacious messages started playing. Somehow I just doubt that this commercial's gonna make Verizon cry. What d'you think? More »

    Judge Tells AT&T to Stop Whining as the Verizon Ads Will Stay

    Looks like we'll keep seeing Verizon's "There's a map for that" commercials as AT&T's injunction to have them taken off the air was denied. Unfortunately this isn't the end of this debacle as the judge is allowing a follow-up hearing. More »

    Verizon to AT&T: "The Truth Hurts (Bitch!)"

    Okay, so I may have added "bitch" for emphasis—but this AT&T vs. Verizon lawsuit over the "Map for That" ads is turning into an all-out PR smackdown. This stuff isn't even written in proper legal language anymore. More »

    Kevin Spacey Makes Them Ducats Selling Olympus Cameras in the UK

    Here is a new ad featuring Kevin Spacey, running now in England. In it, he uses the word "hurty" to sell Olympus Pen cameras. Still hurting from K-Pax, K-Space? [Copyranter]

    Creepiness Strangely Absent From New Palm Pixi Commercial

    After dying in a movie, apparently the creepy Pre girl died in Palm's world, too. This new Pixi ad is full of fun, happy people using the phone while "Sleepyhead" by Passion Pit plays in the background. Huge improvement.

    The Nokia N900 Isn't A Phone, It's A Psychotic Shapeshifter

    While we've been sitting, waiting, wishing for the Nokia N900, we missed something very important: It's not a phone. As this Nokia ad shows, it's actually a psychotic shapeshifter. At least I think that's the message they're trying to send. More »

    This Inflating Bra Commercial Left Me Confused Yet Reaching For My Wallet

    Based on my non-existent Chinese skills, I managed to understand that this inflatable bra makes boobs big, BIG, BIG. And I guess it comes with odd sound effects included? Can someone watch please this commercial and translate for me? More »

    Subway Ad Makes It Look Like the Tunnel Is About to Collapse

    This freaky subway ad for upcoming disaster porn 2012 is currently up in Rio de Janeiro's subway systems. Get it, it looks like the tunnels have ruptured and are flooding and everybody is about to die! Ha...ha? [Copyranter]

    New Droid Commercial Turns to All-Out Sci-Fi

    The Motorola Droid! It's a robot from space, shot to Earth from fighter jets, letting you check Facebook! Or something like that. Apparently, this ad that shows you nothing about the phone itself will start running next week. [BGR]

    Steve Jobs' Original Name for the iMac Was So Horrifying It Would Explode Your Ears

    The iMac revived Apple after a decade of sickly malaise. The name is so obviously iconic. So it's shocking that Steve Jobs hated it and wanted to call it something so awful it would "curdle your blood." More »

    DirecTV Uses a Few Other Dead Celebrity Spokesmen

    Man, if you thought it was tacky and gross when DirecTV used Chris Farley in their ads, you probably won't like the Heath Ledger, JFK or Jesus Christ spots. [LandlineTV]

    Microsoft Pusses Out on Family Guy Special

    Microsoft's involvement in the Windows 7 Family Guy hackathon is canceled. Family Guy's writing team pulled out one too many idea balls about incest, the Holocaust and feminine hygiene, making it "not a fit with the Windows brand." More »
