  • Michael Bay Can Even Screw Up A Victora's Secret Ad

    December 5th, 2009 / Comments (4)

    In the late 80’s and early 90’s, there was an old joke about TV spots that could be heard in agencies around the world. “Hey, I’ve got a great idea for a commercial…let’s get [insert name of A-list movie director] to do it.”

    Now, don’t get us wrong, there have been some great ones (Apple’s 1984 sits on the top of that pile). But this Victoria’s Secret effort from Michael Bay is not one of them. Not even close.

    Yes, the man who insists on a barrage of slo-mo shots, explosions and military aircraft in every film has brought this gift to the world of lingerie. Michael Bay fans will not be disappointed. Anyone else with any common sense will have a hard time keeping a straight face for this dog. It’s hard to believe that 90 seconds filled with supermodels in lingerie could suck so much.

    Boy, does it suck.

    Oh, and he even manages to ruin it for fans of Iron Man by using a piece of music from the soundtrack. Watch for yourself.

    Delfino Trujillo has freelanced with various agencies in Denver doing production and retouching, including BarnhartCMI, Cultivator, The Integer Group, Sukle, Strada and Sterling Rice. He’s been in the business since ’87 when, as he says, “We all used to ride dinosaurs and write on stone tablets.” Always nice to hire someone who’s experienced.

  • Royal Canin's Drooling Dog

    December 4th, 2009 / Comments (0)

    Two ads act as one, facing each other on a small street. The first features a bag of delicious Royal Canin Great Dane dog food. The one across the street features a Great Dane, dripping drool (made of jam sugar that dropped from a simple installation of a canister and tube), as he stares longingly at the food. Simply brilliant work from Heye & Partner, Hamburg.

  • Tarantino Shames Himself in Japanese Commercial

    December 4th, 2009 / Comments (1)

    Man, this is so bad. Not so bad, it’s good. Just so bad, it’s embarrassing. From the comments on Buzzfeed, here’s an explanation as to what you’re seeing: This is an ad for a speaker that hooks into a phone. Seemingly one that’s shaped like a dog. Tarantino is playing a yakuza honcho running away some where; his wife cows him into coming home over the phone.

  • CP+B Interns Ready for "Real" Jobs

    December 4th, 2009 / Comments (5)

    Crispin Porter + Bogusky’s 27 interns from the fall of 2009 are “graduating” from the agency and have assembled a website touting their wares. Looking to pick up someone who more than likely knows the difference between a schlock ad and a good one? This group would be a good bet. If we can keep them here in Colorado, all the better.

    If we could wrap our arms around this ad and give it a hug, we would.
