Baby Bottle Pops - How Do You Dip? - 2012 :15
QuietMan recently flexed its concept-to-completion bona fides with an animated/live-action hybrid spot promoting The Topps Company's Baby Bottle Pops candy. The studio handled every visual element of the campaign, cranking out the live-action footage through their QuietContent division and handling the edit, postproduction and animation through their main studio.
Mars Bar - Runaway train - (2012) :45 (Australia)
Clemenger BBDO Melbourne has taken the "work rest and play" a bit further and twisted it right around to "with a Mars comes great responsibility". I see. Yeah, you know what, I'll pass.
Ben and Jerry Street art - Dublin is made of ice-cream
Ben and Jerry's Ireland introduced their new Core flavour Karamel Sutra to Dublin via this installation where a giant spoon dug into Dublin's core to find said ice-cream. To create this, Ben & Jerry teamed up with street art activist Will St Leger and built this punny "good to the core" moment in Dublin’s city centre. Shame we can't eat it, I need about this much Ben&Jerry's right now. Maybe a touch more.
Popchips Ashton Kutcher Dating video / Freaks - (2012)
Zambezi and popchips collaborated with Ashton to create World Wide Lovers, a dating-themed campaign stemming from the public's fascination with his personal life.
In just one day, an Academy Award winning makeup team lead by Matthew W. Mungle, transformed Ashton into four different colorful characters - a flamboyant fashion designer, a sensitive Harley-loving biker, a new age hippie, and a Bollywood film producer – all looking for their perfect match. Viewers won’t believe it’s Ashton until they see his cameo!
Oh trust me honey, we still believe it's him. Every time. And we're hella amused at his horrid Karl Lagerfeld impression but not so keen on the rest of it.
Popchips Ashton Kutcher Dating video / Swordfish - (2012)
Swordfish is just a really soft romantic tattooed biker, with a feather a shamen gave him.
Popchips Ashton Kutcher Dating video / Nigel - (2012)

Watch out for the worst joke ever: "These are the Bombay"

Kalles Kaviar - Tokyo taste test - (2012) :30 (Sweden)
They say that "Kalles Kaviar" is the most Swedish thing there is, salty fish-roe and tomato-paste in a colorful tube. But everyone loves it, all around the world! True story. To prove it Kalles went to Tokyo and gave everyone a free taste.
Weetabix Golden Syrup - Dad's day out - (2012) :30 (UK)

Celebrity Reaction to Mike and Ike split
Celebs react to the split of Mike & Ike. Really. Ike and Mike. YOU HADN'T HEARD?
McDonald's - Open all night billboard - Outdoor - (2012)
McDonald's shows us how their "Open all night" reflective billboard works. By day, nothing. All white. Tremendously ad-free. By night it'll appear like a ghostly text enticing you to come get a coffee before you swerve off the road. It might not be the the pedestrian ghost levels of slam-on-your-breaks dangerous, but I'm pretty sure that sign would be non-kosher in Norway, where they regularly ban the H&M underwear ads for luring drivers into the ditch.
Pretty clever tho.
The homage to fromage (sorry) & the fondue melting pot
Red Tettemer + Partners created a digital campaign for The Melting Pot fondue restaurants where the first 25,000 people to sign up for the Brand’s Club Fondue on April 11, 2012 get free fondue. OooH! Ew? Fun-do! Sorry.
Integrating this cheesy holiday into “The Fondue Effect” creative platform that RT+P created for the franchise organization in 2011, cheese lovers should expect to experience “The Cheese Fondue Effect” in all of its cheesy glory. In addition to microsite creative, expect to see elements of creative on Club Fondue Email, on-premise collateral, corporate and franchisee Facebook pages as well as chatter on Twitter accounts (http://www.facebook.com/themeltingpotrestaurants and @TheMeltingPot).
Tic Tac - Worst breath in the world - flash mob with fainting people - (2012)
This is a cruel, cruel stunt. One man runs off in a panic and honestly that's the sanest reaction because ones immediate thought when everyone around you faints isn't "I must have bad breath", instead it's "OMG NERVE GAS!", or perhaps "hilfe Zombie attack!"
Fine, so I watch too many scary movies, but I also watched this thing all the way through and was very very amused. Who knew that the old hidden-camera show would become an ad vehicle in itself? All these stunts we do, they're so entertaining we could make an entire half-hour show on great ad stunts alone. Hollywood, call me. I said dibs on that.
I can't tell if mister "I point with my whole arm" is a bad actor or you know, just French. Probably just French, right?
