Everything is Awesome! And So Is Coke's Social Media Guard Ad We are all guilty of planting our faces in our phones in the middle of social situations. This sort of behavior would once be considered rude but, hey, since everyone's doping it, it must be OK, right? Your parents and grand parents would be horrified if they saw you planting your face in your phone in the middle of dinner or while you should be playing with your newborn baby. But we all still do it so it must be OK, right? Old Navy Just Made Its Worst Commercial in A Long Time The comments on AdWeek's Ad of the Day review of Old Navy's new Chandelier-created ad featuring MADtv comic Debra Wilson sum it up perfectly. "Interesting. I didn't laugh once. Nevertheless, I think this actually COULD be funny if they cut it to a :30 and simplify by focusing on the fake wand sounds gag. That's the only comedic idea I see here. The rest of this spot is just trying way too hard." "Meh. You can tell the client added the ending." These Geico 'Everybody Knows' Ads Are Getting Boring When Geico first came out with its collection of ads in which people were put down for not realizing that, of course, everyone knows 15 minutes could save you 15 percent, they were funny. The retorts were witty, amusing and awkward enough to entertain. Now they just feel contrived and stale. That Cadillac Ad Everyone Hates? They're Not Supposed to Like It You do understand that the new Cadillac commercial with Neal McDonough extolling the virtues of good old-fashioned, America-style hard work is a bit of a parody, right?

The Ending of This Beautiful Valentine's Day Ad Will Bring Tears to Your Eyes In any relationship, there are pros and cons, ups and downs, likes and dislikes, adorations and annoyances. But in any good relationship -- one that truly works -- each must take the good with the bad. This Valentines Day-themed commercial created by BBDO Germany for Schwarzkopf Nectra Color celebrates this truism beautifully. It avoids cliche anc cheese and simply delivers wonder. Via. This Dramatic Sochi Paralympics Ad Asks Us to Focus on Skills, Not Disabilities In celebration of the Sochi Paralympic Games, BBDO Toronto has crafted a dramatic ad that steers viewers towards the celebration of the athlete's skills and to look past their disabilities. This Personal Lubricant Ad Celebrates Same-Sex Marriage and Military Service Well this one might slap you upside the head. After this ad eases you in with its soft lighting, somber tone and soothing voiceover, you're all relaxed and ready for some sort of innocuous, heartfelt message to be delivered. But no. What you get is an ad for Gun Oil personal lubricant. Yup, the stuff that makes it easier to slide in and out when you, well, want to slide in and out. This Acura Ad That Pits Mechanical Horses Against A Real One Makes No Sense OK, 45 seconds into this minute-long, Mullen-created ad for Acura that has us viewing a race between four mechanical horses and one real horse and I'm like, "How the hell is this going to become a car ad?" Diet Mountain Dew Turns Dale Earnhardt Into Nature's Worst Enemy Oh yea. Here's a great concept for a Diet Mountain Dew ad. Let's get Dale Earnhardt Jr. to tear the crap out of nature when he's called into action by a hunter's "Dale Call." That about sums up the Mountain Dew brand: Drink us and you, too, can become a lunatic to whom the term "tread lightly" has no meaning.
