Seedy Chip Wants to Sell You an SUV.
The car salesman-cum-lounge-singer is the personification of class.
Once you're all classed-out, logic follows that you'll compulsively go, "Shit, I'm getting an Audi Q5."

Sainsbury's: The Roots of Everything You Think is Trendy Sainsbury's takes responsibility for every awesome thing that's ever happened to us in its latest ad, "140," a tribute to how long it's been around. An example of its modest achievements include:
Among others. Don't get us wrong, though. That piano melody and the overall Hovis-y vibe? Very charming. By Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO. Sainsbury's '140 ad' by Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO Nicole Kidman Plays the Schweppes Coquette Nicole Kidman revisits her Moulin Rouge days in a Schweppes ad where both innocence (personified by a smiling Indian girl) and sexuality (personified by a beguiled house-hubby) vie for her attention. Ultimately, the fizzy water wins. Whatever, man. The piece fell into our laps via @tamega, and marks an odd departure from Schweppes' previous focus points: sophisticated cowboys and gluttons for Commander Whitehead.

Topic: Brands, Campaigns, Celebrity, Commercials, Strange, Television H&M's Matthew Williamson Whets Appetites for Change Diggin' this surreal and totally retro spot for Matthew Williamson's H&M line, which Jeremy Dante was kind enough to throw into our periphery. It's mod, loungey and aesthetic. Focus on the clothes while your eyes feast on imagery that feeds off '80s decadence (the supermodel heyday), the nouvelle vague, The Shining (--unsettling triplets!), and possibly Puppet Master. (Seriously. That little puppet woman was creepy creepy.) What's neat is that the ad traverses the tightrope of kitsch without falling over. There's this ridic Prince-meets-Thriller moment where Williamson rises out of the earth, like a self-righteous vampire king, and wins the fawning attention of all the defecting change-seeking femmes. (Compelling. Is it possible Williamson's a Russian military vet?) The ambient music, We Need a Change, was composed exclusively for the spot by Malcolm Pardon and Fredrik Rinman with lyricist Johan Renck.

Topic: Brands, Campaigns, Commercials, Promotions, Sponsorship, Television Bouncy Balls, Ypulse Mashup, Top SocMedia Brands - Magnetic poetry a la Twitter. - Mobile e-commerce barcode thing. - Plugging value matters. Especially now. - Thanks to a simple enough idea floated by this guy right here, El Pollo Loco decides to accept the KFC-Oprah coupon. (Okay, only on Mother's day. Still: coup, baby, COUP!) 'Til Our Biological Clocks Have Safely Ceased, We'll Stick to Our Own Country, Thanks. OLSON finally debuts some work since winning the Country Inns & Suites account in late 2008: "I love this Country," a tame, feebly funny campaign that'll appeal to wilting Lifetime TV lovers. Ben & Jerry's Sniffs Denmark for Fresh Taste Sensation. Comes Up Short. In the latest episode of "The Scoop," Ben & Jerry's sends its taste experts to Copenhagen to find a new ice cream flavour. Watching two middle-aged men nibble salty licorice and marzipan-infused pastry isn't the funnest thing we've ever done. (Though the brief science lesson on Phish Food made a play at being instructive.) And possibly because the banquette was uninspired and the Danes apparently unoriginal (suggested new flavours of ice cream: "chocolate?" "vanilla?" "caramel...?"), Ben & Jerry's wrapped the video by asking viewers to Do the World a Flavour: turn in your own suggestions for new ice cream mashups at benjerry.com.

Topic: Brands, Campaigns, Promotions, Trends and Culture, Video Scho-Ka-Kola: 'Chocolate Bull' for Energy Junkies with a Sweet Tooth. Raisanen Creative does its part for the German economy: bringing much-needed international awareness to Scho-Ka-Kola, a chocolate energy product whose campy packaging has begged for spoofage for years without relief. The mockumentary is particularly good if you happen to enjoy watching square-rimmed spectacle wearers make douchebag noises. 'Kingons' Invade Planet for BK Swag Cups ... and Nipples. Just in time to ride the hype, Crispin Porter + Bogusky launch this geektastic Burger King spot* with a Star Trek spin.

Topic: Brands, Commercials, Promotions, Television, Trends and Culture 'Tunnel' Bestows Just Desserts on Unsuspecting Drivers If you walk away with just one lesson from "Tunnel," it ought to be that there's no major difference between a gold-digger and a crateful of chickens. Also, watch for malevolent tunnels that play three-card monty with the contents of cars. This strange brew brought to you by Mother/London and production co Rattling Stick for la nouvelle Stella Artois 4 (--percent, that is).
