Left by a commenter in yet another story about Axe and their hate-to-love-it, love-to-hate-it Bom Chicka Wah Wah oddity, comes Douche Cologne, that, if the marketer and the agency conveyed the truth about Axe users, would become the next ad campaign for the brand. Poking fun at everything from pop collars, striped shirts, bottle service, house music, Scarface lovers, shirtless MySpace pictures, Abercrombie and Diesel, this spooftastic piece of hilarity sends all the metrosexual wannabes home to their mothers.
That poor McDonald's Fat Kid. We don't know where he came from but he's been our poster child for the obesity discussion over and over and over and over and, yes, over again.
Now, it seems, KFC wants in on the action. Well, not exactly. They're just victim to the latest culture jamming episode to hit the streets of East London.
We really dig this classic spoof from the Harry Enfield Show about the proper execution of "advertisement breaks."
It's never too late to learn from the slickest society-shapers out there, of which the spot includes three: liquor, tobacco and child advertising in general. Put together, they're even more compelling.
And look - no colour or jingles! Beat that, Old Navy.
Here's a fun nod to Marvel's continued success over DC when it comes to transforming its comics into movies. Following Spiderman 3's $150 million opening weekend, Superman and Spiderman dish about who's got more comic movie muscle Apple vs. PC commercial-style.
While doing a bit of research on the side effects of various drugs, B.L. Ochman stumbled upon this little gem that offers up full-on direct to consumer drug advertising treatment to dogs who have trouble getting their energy level up.
Hopping on the now very crowded consumer-generated media train, MTV has launched a consumer-generated movie spoof to coincide with its upcoming Movie Awards. MTV has added this new User Generated spoof category to the show and will award the top submission just as it does other category winners. To get the ball rolling, SecretSauce.TV's Andy Signore has submitted spoofs of 300, Little Miss Sunshine and The Departed. We particularly like The Departed spoof which is entitled The Defarted. You can just imagine what that's all about.
If you're interested in getting yet another award to place on your ego mantle, check out all the contest details here in a video by director Brett Ratner.

With the advent of consumer-generated media and YouTube, Spring Break just isn't what it used to be. Or maybe this guy just didn't get any action. Either way, he did accomplish something during his break in the form of a video that spoofs a parody of the Dove Evolution video. Entitled "Campaign for the perfect facebook pic," Courtney Podvin undergoes the usual evolutionary transition with the end product ending up on his facebook profile. Insightfully, the video ends with the statement, "No wonder our perception of people on facebook is distorted."
Dan Meth, who's clearly got a firm grip on what gets 15-year-old girls' pulses racing, launches this Natty Girls animated video for pricey boutique Live Natty. (Not to be confused with "nappy," which can get you in trouble.)
We sometimes winced and had to cover our eyes. Overall it is, as he so eloquently puts it, "top 40 bubblegum bliss." Unless we find an antidote not crooned by Britney Spears pre-breakdown, the song will be stuck in our heads for the rest of the night.
Google has a lot of fun with easter eggs, probably a big reason why, despite its soul-sucking bulk, it manages to keep the allegiance of Gen-Yers who prefer smoothie options to 401Ks.
While we panicked over a spotty internet connection a friend sent us here, which seemed like a joygasmic option until we read up on installment.
If you want to don the gloves, be our guest. Is this what Google employees spend the allotted 20 percent of their independent project time doing?
