You know how dreams twist reality? Now imagine having a dream about Carl's Jr. One might assume it'd be a pretty hot dream complete with images of you motorboating Kate Upton's huge boobs or having sex with Paris Hilton sex tape-style. Got those images in your head now? OK, now stop reading unless you want to ruin everything.
Still here? OK. You asked for it. AdamRayTV decided to create a Carl's Jr. spoof...and put it inside a Nyquil ad. Twisted? Definitely. Funny? Pretty much. A little gross? Most certainly.

Alright, alright. How can we not cover follow up work to that freakishly amazing Skittles ejaculation video from last July?

One must simply watch to experience the delightful oddity of this wonder.

What took so long? After all, Dos Equis Most Interesting Man has been out there for quite some time. But it seems it's taken a couple of years for the campaign to get spoofed...by another brewer. Check out Breckenridge Brewery's Least Interesting Man created by Cultivator Advertising and Design. He will bore you to death. But he does drink good beer.
Will Dos Equis have anything to say about this homage?

Yes, this is a spoof. No self respecting company making stuff for kids would stoop to this tactic nor would any liquor brand stand for it. Nonetheless, it's a humorous brand mashup we can all chuckle over for a few minutes in between our Super Bowl obsessions.
Thanks George.
Clearly not a real ad...let's make that clear right up front...but a funny one all the same. YouTuber RoboJukles has turned a clip from David Lynch's famed Blue Velvet, starring Dennis Hopper, into an ad for Pabst Blue Ribbon.
In the clip, Hopper screams, "Heineken? Fuck that shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!" And this is exactly what commercials would be like if marketers could say what they really thought.

Anytime anything shifts from underground cool to mass adoption in a short period of time it also becomes ripe for parody and backlash. Take Ugg boots. The footwear used to be the coolest thing. Now you can buy them at Walmart. And that's a problem. In fact, it's a disease. But there is a cure. And it's called Uggcitrin. Check it out below. And yes, we know the video has been out for a while.

Check out these fake ads from fashion photographer Steven Meisel. For W Magazine, Meisel shot Linda Evangelista and four red-bottomed men for a lingerie brand the magazine dubbed Tantrum Intimates." Love that! Another ad features Joel Shumacher who, prior to his film career, used to design window displays for Henri Bendel, is surrounded by a bevy of ladies styling it up in formal black attire. And then there's Carmen Carrera in a faux ad for La Femme fragrance.

In perhaps one of the most moving scenes of AMC's Mad Men, Don Draper pitches an ad campaign to Kodak for its slide projector Carousel. It's epically awesome the way he uses the emotion of life events to perfectly position the projector for Kodak. Damn. If only Kodak had Don Draper now of when they really needed him; a few years ago when they foolishly brushed off the digital photography revolution as a fad.
Anyway, Don Draper has traveled ahead a few years and is, once again, working his magic, this time for Facebook which just introduced its Timeline feature. We have to say, the pitch worked for Facebook's product just as well as it did for Kodak's

Let's be clear right up front. This letter was not written by the real John Wren. If it were, it would be career suicide and a giant middle finger lodged in the behind of shareholders. But let's not let that stop us from enjoying the humor within.
Whomever wrote this letter created in the style of the letter everyone on the internet received from Netflix today explaining the company's recent price change and the launch of Qwikster. The 'John Wren' letter is far more amusing and will give you something to chuckle over on a Monday afternoon. Click the image to read.
