Starts off silly but there’s a horrible twist in this Doritos ad

January 16, 2015 by Andrew Leave a Comment

Did you watch the video? Maybe you took a look at the thumbnail and figured this was an ad for Doritos. It’s not. It really isn’t. This is an ad that urges people to persuade Doritos and PepsiCo, the company that owns the brand, to help protecet the rainforest and orangutans. The problem is palm […]

This TV ad for tires will give you a fright!

December 2, 2013 by Andrew Leave a Comment

Ready for a fright? Sit back, hold on tight and watch… this Japanese ad for tires. Whether it’s car insurance, sites that compare car insurance, broken windscreens, tire repair or the dreaded M.O.T. this is big business in the UK and across the world.

Chipotle’s spookily good The Scarecow animation

September 14, 2013 by Andrew Leave a Comment

I think of Chipotle has a Mexican sauce made from smoked chilli. However, it’s a big resturant chain in the States and there Chipotle sells burritos. They must be confident of their green creds because they’re really on the attack against mass produced foods in this wonderful animation called The Scarecrow. There’s a game that […]

When there’s really a ghost in the mirror

February 27, 2013 by Andrew Leave a Comment

Warning – this video, though ideal for you, has some strong lanugage in it. That’s what you get when you give someone the scare of their lives. This is a promotion for the Last Exorcism Part II. Yup! A movie! In Pure Spirit What did you make of the prank? A good one? Are you […]

The singing pet shop

October 31, 2012 by Andrew Leave a Comment

Once and a while an advert it worth a watch. This ad for Trident Fresh chewing gum is one of those. It features the sort of pet shop that might well be magical. The animals in this mysterious shop are certainly special. Perhaps this is the sort of mystical portal you can find by exploring […]

Forget photobombing; worry about #ghostbombing

October 29, 2012 by Andrew Leave a Comment

Photobombing is the art of popping up in the background of someone else’s photograph. It takes skill and style to do it well – but even some celebrities do it, or have it happen to them. Now, according to a spoof report from one of HTC’s ad agencies; ghosts do it too. Will the HTC […]

Hey! You! Follow the Frog

October 25, 2012 by Andrew Leave a Comment

This is a charming public service announcement from the Rainforest Alliance. It helps you make some life decisions by ruling out some bad choices you might be tempted to make. I also think the YouTube funding widget is pretty cool as part of the video. In Pure Spirit Did you like the ad? Think it […]

Sponsored Video: Technology and Pheromones

April 1, 2012 by Andrew Leave a Comment

Relationships are always complex – more complex than the most sophisticated computer network or program. In fact, a single brain is a more intricate than the world’s most powerful super-computer due to the billions synapses and neurons. That’s why men and women react to a far wider range of stimuli than computers and do so […]

Banned Ad: Red Bull and Jesus

March 16, 2012 by Andrew Leave a Comment

This advert was intended for Brazil. You’ll probably be familiar with the art style and recognise it as an advert for Red Bull. You’d be spot on – it’s a Red Bull ad. The video is going viral today because it has (apparently) been banned by Brazilian regulators who found it offensive. At the time […]
