Chip Shot: Life was so much simpler when we
could just play a friendly game of Red Rover and clothesline the people we
didn’t like.
Take
Your Place Around the Table
According to IKEA 79% of important decisions are made
around a table. So the company created ads like this one,
based on “Take Your Place Around the Table.” Each ad begins with unexplained circumstances,
like one where a woman walks around in a nudist colony, bewildered and hiding
her genitals behind a handbag. The ads end with what precluded each situation …
people sitting around a table saying things like, "Hey, what if we joined
a nudist colony?"

Scion Ad Features “Tube Man”
This
just made me giggle. You know those inflatable “tube guys” that flop around in
front of car dealerships? Well, one of them is driving a new Scion.
Gin Made from Unicorn Tears
Now you can imbibe yourself on
the tears of a truly majestic mythical creature! That’s right, Firebox is
selling this Unicorn Tears Gin Liqueur for $62 a bottle. No word on whether or
not the tears involved are happy or sad, but my guess is, you’ll find out after
drinking half a bottle.
Signs That Caught My Glass Eyes

“Refreshing Laxative”? I guess in the 60’s you
could “keep cool and refreshed through Inner cleanliness.”
Kermit Get Ambushed
Muppet power couple Miss Piggy and Kermit
the Frog power lunch among the Hollywood elite in this new Emmy-themed film
from Audi.
The former duo powow at a fancy eatery
ahead of the 67th annual Emmys on Sunday night and their return to primetime
next Tuesday.
Miss Piggy, however, steps away to go all
diva over Modern Family's Julie Bowen, who sends over a bottle of champagne,
chat with How to Get Away With Murder lead Viola Davis and take a paparazzi
shot with Kermie that no doubt will spark reunion suspicions of gossipy fans
and jealousy of the frog's new gal Denise (or "Dennis," as Miss Piggy
calls her).
After the whirwhind meeting, Kermit comes
away blindsided, reciting his famous phrase "It's not that easy being
green," only to be challenged by Joel McHale. "It is now," he
says.
Outtakes at the end make it worthwhile to
watch all 4 minuts.

Game Developer Defends Itself with Humor
In this weird ad, a
mother worries that her son is infatuated with the gaming universe, and as a
result is unable to get a girlfriend. The narrator questions if that is because
the mother is not willing to let go of her son … including breast-feeding him
until he was eight.
In this second ad a miserable
father sticks to playing his online games instead of interacting with his
daughter, after she continually puts makeup on him and dresses him up in ballet
dresses.
Your Child is What
You Eat …
The
copy on this ad says, “Your habits in the first thousand days of gestation can
prevent your child from developing serious diseases.” Learn more at SPRS.COM.BR.
