TD tells us how simple life is, in a very Wes Anderson in spired way. Except for the music choice. Had it been The Kinks, The Sonics or some obscure mid 60's band, then it would have been more Anderson-esque.

A person dressed a giant teddy-bear stands in the center of a town square, and while people shy away at first, it soon turns into a regular hugfest. Even the little white dog enjoys a great big bear hug. Free hugs for everyone!

This turns out to be an experiment. While nearly everyone professes empathy with disabled people, few dare sit next to the man in the bear suit on the bus. Well played.

The crazy cat lady explains that when she won the lottery, she set up a home for the ones who need one. Cats! "Here they will get their basic needs sorted. They can eat, wash up, can talk to others in the same situation, at the same time as they get professional help to reintroduce them to society. Because cats are people too!"

Tag: Anyone can win.

Yes, even in Swedish this ad is about as funny as her wig looks real.

Farmers Insurance - University of Farmers / Critters - (2011)

One of the new 30-second spots, "Critters," is directed by Academy Award®-nominated husband-and-wife team of Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, who directed several previous spots for the campaign. In the spot, Professor Burke and America's finest agents demonstrate their road-kill expertise. Remarkably, the spot is completely live action, with a real deer, caribou, turtle, porcupine and other creatures appearing alongside the cast. "We actually had all of those animals in the room at the same time. Humor-wise, that's much more interesting than animatronics or CG," said Hamling.

Woman wakes up after a wild night in Vegas (we presume) and finds that she's married to George Clooney. Yeah, that'll happen. Can someone explain the horse-head?

"Some people are lucky in life"
"For the rest of us, saving up can be smart"
"S for Saving Plan"
"DnB NOR - Bank from A to Z"

VISA - Crayfish Bus (attack) - Wellington On a Plate: Welly On a Plate

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! Giant crayfish are clawing out of the earth from mile-deep catacombs and attacking our cities! This is revenge for that time when I poured wormwood-heavy absinth in the boiling water at our crayfish party isn't it? I thought the hallucinations would be cool not terrifying! Hold me, I'm scared!

... Oh, it's just an ad. Carry on. I never said any of that. What?

A careful canine is hounded by various threats – cat burglar, torrential rain and more – in the delightful new spot for Travelers Insurance directed by Daniel Kleinman and edited by Eve Ashwell. The smile inducing (and tail wagging) story, set to the pop-optimistic track, is truly charming and a brilliant illustration of Travelers offerings.
