“April Fools!”
That’s what they shout at you when you get hoaxed at the 1st of April. There
are probably always people in your neighborhood that keep trying the “there’s a
spider on your head” joke on April Fool’s Day. However, it might be a bit late
for April Fools today, we found the
ultimate prank for April Fool’s Day to use next year.
Remember the
T-mobile Royal Flash Mob video? Now T-mobile scared the hell out of thousands of
drivers across Britain with their latest stunt. But, afterwards the drivers
were hugging and thanking the traffic wardens. How did that happen? And why
traffic wardens? Use the read more link to watch the video and find out..

The sentence “Even Apeldoorn Bellen” has become a phenomenon in the Dutch culture. The commercials, by Centraal Beheer Achmea, are comparable to the ‘Don’t judge to quickly’ ads by Ameriquest: someone ending up in a really awkward situation. It’s been a while since the last ‘Even Apeldoorn bellen’ has aired, so we were very curious about the new one. And once again, it’s just plain brilliant.
This time it’s about two guys taking their classic American car to a car show, and their car might get a little more attention than they expected..
Okay, so you know from the beginning something is bound to go wrong. Still you
wonder what will go wrong, until the moment you see this huge truck, about to
crash the guys’ car.
Of course, Centraal Beheer has done better. But it has had such fantastic ads,
it’s impossible to keep outdoing yourself. What is very strong about this ad is
the small jokes throughout: the (attempt to) flirt, the almost-fight with the
other driver, the lowering of the car while parking, the billboard with the
text ‘When it’s not Bob’s it ain’t a Wiener’..
These jokes make the stereotypical American car show much more comical. They
enhance the story and are less predictable then the final crux of the ad. And
while the previous ads soon got boring, this one gets more funny after seeing
it a few times. You keep discovering other funny details, so our suggestion:
watch it again!
Did you know that this is the 52d edition of the Even Apeldoorn Bellen
campaign? Click here to watch the very first edition: Caravan.
Ever thought swearing could be benificial? This Bud Light commercial proves it can. The secretary reveals that the money in the swear jar might be used to buy Bud Light for the office. This leads to some hilarious and unnecessary swearing..
So last time we blogged about M&M’s, but this time we want to pay some attention to Skittles. Life can be hard for a skittle. Mr Skittle proves this with his story. He tells us how he’s often confused with Mr. Red from M&M’s.
Remember our first blog post about Darth Vader in the VW commercial? (no? then click here) Now Darth Vader also showed up in an M&M commercial. M&M's do more than wiggling, they also need to decide whether to join the dark side:
The first thing in mind when thinking: "I'm sexy and I know it" is a wiggling guy with an afro in a speedo. LMFAO. For the ones who don't recognize this picture, watch the following video:
But what does 'LMFAO' and 'I'm sexy and I know it' have to do with those delicious M&M's?
This guy gets the best graduation gift ever.. or does he?
Guess he wasn’t so lucky. In Dutch this is what we call: making someone happy with a dead sparrow.The kid is goes berserk over his gift, which he
believes to be the yellow Camaro, while his parents don’t have the heart to
tell him what his present actually is.
What is
more funny than a laughing baby? Admit it, you laughed your ass off after
watching thisvideo. Babies have
such an infectious laugh and above all they are cute and cuddly. Enough reasons
for Evian to decide to use babies in their viral marketing campaign..
This YouTube video went viral. In its first 48 hours, the video was viewed more than 3.5 million times. Something about these people makes them fun to watch. It can’t be their dance skills, so it’s probably the fact that it’s so unexpected, and it looks like these people are having fun and are being themselves.
The idea of dancing down the aisle was inspiring for a lot of other brides and grooms, and got a lot of imitators and parodies. T-Mobile, however, was the first to use it for marketing purposes.
The idea of people dancing down the aisle was surprising, so imagine people doing this at the Royal Wedding! If you think that’s unimaginable, watch the following video, because T-Mobile made it possible.
‘Don’t judge too quickly,’ that is the main message that Ameriquest Mortgage, an insurance company, conveys. Their commercials make innocent actions, like preparing a romantic dinner, look like badass ones. Creating hilarious situations.
We chose to show you the funniest 4.
Starting off with a dad who drives his daughter and some girlfriends to a concert. On their way the daughter asks her dad to pull over, so she can go and buy some gum. Her father calls her back while she left the car and gives her some money. At that moment the police comes driving by and turns it into an awkward situation..
Is advertising becoming more and more annoying, or is it just us? Today we have
more knowledge about advertising and its strategies. Or at least, companies
think they have, but it doesn’t show in their ads. Advertising is not only
getting more and more dominating, but ads are also getting worse. Commercials
which make you smile have become rare, which is why we decided to highlight
those commercials which make you laugh out loud.
In this first blog we will talk
about the funnies ad of 2011: “The Force” by Volkswagen. Last year this ad went
viral, and this year Volkwagen used it again for their new car. We think this commercial is just epic, and seeing
the huge amount of Youtube views and Google searches, we’re not the only ones. For
those who don’t know it (or for those like us who still find it hilarious after
a dozen views), you can watch it here.
