When it comes to advertising their no-nonsense McCafé coffee, McDonald’s have historically never been afraid to take the piss out of the competition. This ad is no exception, although it’s a slight variation on the theme — rather than satirise the customer experience of visiting a trendy coffee shop, this ad spoofs other coffee ads. By taking a montage approach and showing lots of different scenes, rather than satirising a single ‘type’ of advert from
This Burger King advert mocking Vote Leave’s Brexit battle bus went viral – in a good way, for once. More here: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/burger-king-advert-vote-leave-brexit-bus-whopper-a4304601.html
Synopsis In a spoof of the 1955 film, Oblivion Boys Stephen Frost and Mark Arden play two British bombers who are throwing the bouncing bomb at a German dam. Unfortunately for them, a German guard is on top goalkeeping form, playing on the football trope that Germany always beat England at penalties. Review I always loved the Carling Black Label adverts with these two, and they were great fun to watch. It never made me
This is one of our favourite recent funny tweets from the Innocent Drinks Twitter account. Today is February 1st. Pancake Day is February 25th.

However, they’re pronouncing it as Bublé, and the company wants to set the record straight – with the help of Michael Bublé! The hilarious commercial starts with Bublé walking into a convenience store to grab some Bubly, thinking they have named the drink after him. (A reference to how people have been pronouncing it.) While grabbing the beverage he
Synopsis What is this sound? Is it a thunderstorm? Is it an avalanche? Or is it a crackly, buttery, milk chocolate Dime bar? Oh! It’s an avalanche. Review I wasn’t even looking at the telly at the time this was broadcast, but it caught my attention. My memory of it was shorter, sharper with a much louder avalanche that went… Narrator: Is that the sound of a crunchy Dime bar or the sound of an
Synopsis Period drama meets a batch seeded loaf. Review This is classic Peter Kay using a mash up of many recognisable film moments to raise the profile of the client. If this was designed specifically to promote the seeded batch, I’m not sure it does that, we remember Peter and the company too much for any specific product, but I imagine that’s not the case anyway. Overall, a great way to use a well known
If you have the right catchphrase, you can always monetize it. This is what Cardi B does in this Pepsi commercial, saying her signature and catchy (but hard to say) catchphrase – Okurrr! Bet you are trying to say it right now! Don’t give up if you can’t say it right away. As the ad shows, it takes some practice – plus, it’s satisfying once you get it right. You just have to let it
Deliveroo lets you order takeaway meals from pretty much any restaurant. The ‘Key Message’ in play is that with so many different meals on offer, it’s easy to find something for everyone. This key message is then exagerrated – as our main character dishes out more meals than could have possibly ever been inside that one small Deliveroo bag. The escalations continue, as more family, and friends, and even a football team all pile in
