the_cleaner_axe.jpg

We all have "those nights" once in a while. The ones that were fun while they lasted but they don't quite fit properly into our everyday life. And we all wish we had someone we could call to clean up the mess before the significant other came home and found out what it was we weren't supposed to be doing last night.

In this three minute video, The Cleaner, from Axe, we get to see what happens after a guy has a little too much fun one night and is concerned he won't be able to clean up before his girlfriend comes home.

Go Daddy Makes Every Geek's Dream Come True

godaddy_sb_2012_pussycat_dolls.jpg

Well...here's yet another Go Daddy Super Bowl spot. This one's called Cloud and it features an angelic, leggy Danica Patrick along with a trio of Pussycat Dolls. In the ad, two tech heads are whisked away to "heaven" where Patrick tells them all about "making your internet dreams come true" while they drool like two highs school boys in heat.

Ferris Bueller Returns...to the Super Bowl!

ferris_bueller_sb_2012.jpg

Oh yes, people! Ferris Bueller is back! And he's back big time. So big that he'll make an appearance during the Super Bowl. Well, at least that's what this teaser has us believe.

With teaser copy that reads, "We hate to be such a tease, but on a day like today, we just have to. Stick it out until the Super Bowl, or take a "day off" on Monday and catch the big reveal," a :15 teaser on YouTube features Ferris, otherwise known as Matthew Broderick, asking the camera, "How can I handle work on a day like today?'

Some say it's a promo for a sequel to the 1986 original. Others beg it's not a teaser for Viagra or Cialis. He's in a hotel room so it could be for a travel site. There are flowers. It could be for a florist. Who knows.

And this is why we love this teaser so much! Most teasers give the entire story away. This one...well, this one is a true teaser. It could be for anything. We are intrigued!

Chris Pratt Helps Sell Kinect Star Wars

To build buzz before the launch of Kinect Star Wars, Xbox is out with a new AKQA-created video, Dual, which stars Chris Pratt, best known for starring in the TV series "Parks and Recreation" and the movie "Moneyball. " In the video, Pratt steps in for Obi-wan Kenobi during his epic battle with Darth Vader but there's a twist at the end. And it isn't a pretty one. Or an all that exciting one for that matter.

Audi Kills Vampire Trend With Super Bowl Ad

audi_vampire_sb_2012.jpg

We think this Veneble Bell & Partners-created ad for Audi which will air during the Super Bowl will be quite well received. Especially by anyone who is sick or the tired vampire genre. In the :60, which touts Audi's LED headlight system, much needed blood is delivered to a bunch of vampires partying in the woods.

There's a problem though. The headlights' 5,000 Kelvin light power don't bode well for this group. And like a meme that really needs to die, so then do these vampires.

The ad became available after Facebook users solved the brand's Race the Light social media contest.

New Reality Show to Offer Junior Art Director Jobs

mark_burnett_productions.jpg

So Mark Burnett is working on a new show which will air on one of the four major networks. It's called The Job and it's a bit like The Apprentice expect for advertising. No, it's not that other show, The Pitch, which was having trouble getting agencies to participate. Which makes perfect sense. Given the show's concept, what agency in their right mind woud want to risk having an Agency.com Subway pitch-style disaster on national television? But don't worry. This show is different. It aims to offer up a Junior Art Director position at a major ad agency to the winner.

Erox Fragrance Will Get You Girls with Bigger Boobs

erox_geeks_revenge.jpg

Reality star and former America's Next Top Model winner Adrianne Curry comes to the rescue of scrawny men who, like those classic Charles Atlas body building cartoon ads of yesteryear, always get their girl stolen by the boxheaded bully. But Curry has a good heart and a soft spot for scrawny geeks. That or she's getting a lot of money to fake it while wearing a super hot angel outfit complete with the requisite cleavage-enhancing, plunging neckline and, yes, wings.

The fragrance was recently launched on social network CrowdGather and contains a combination of pheromones which is said to have been clinically proven to increase feelings of arousal, excitement, social warmth and friendliness in both men and women. Yup, that's all we need. A bunch of guys on the beach running around with uncontrollable erections.

Curry will serve as the official face of Erox for upcoming social media and online advertising campaigns which will include a series of videos and comic strip parodies that poke fun at mainstream culture, characters, and events.

See Adrianne in all her angelic glory below.
