Did I mention Spike TV's trailer for original series Blue Mountain State Alan Ritchson (Smallville) is NSFW? (After the jump.) At first, it's kinda charming, this pissing on the field bit, but the whole thing steps out of bounds more than it stays in the field of play. Look at me with a football reference! ]]>Announcements2009-11-13T13:55:00-05:00http://www.adrants.com/2009/11/bad-thad.phpWhy Should You Care About Another Christmas Spot?

Slow news day? Nah. We get everything sent in here. So if you've had your fill of foodie/celeb cook porn, avert gazes now. If you watch any deal of cooking on TV, Jamie Oliver is the UK version of Tyler Florence. But what I liked about this quick-paced Sainsbury's spot came right at the end. ]]>Commercials2009-11-13T12:56:00-05:00http://www.adrants.com/2009/11/why-should-you-care-about-another.phpSubaru Crowdsurfs Away Life's Bumps
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/adrants/medium/television/~3/thLkJpxLYiU/subaru-crowdsurfs-away-lifes-bumps.php
At first, it seems like another epic epic with a cast of cgi thousand$. But this :90 from Leo Burnett Sydney grows on you. (After the jump). As you watch, the visuals seem to cover off the usual stuff any car brand could claim or own as the "We support you" metaphor works overtime.]]>Commercials2009-11-13T12:41:00-05:00http://www.adrants.com/2009/11/subaru-crowdsurfs-away-lifes-bumps.php"You Either Get Shot Through the Head or You Have a VW"
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/adrants/medium/television/~3/oFbZwgpfNFA/you-either-get-shot-through-the-head-or.php
British humor--second to none. While it's been 30 days since my last suicide spot, this one after the jump... isn't. I explain--you follow along: It's for the new VW Scirocco running on the UK's Top Gear with car freaks Jeremy Clarkson and James May. Branded entertainment with a suicide chaser. ]]>Commercials2009-11-12T16:53:00-05:00http://www.adrants.com/2009/11/you-either-get-shot-through-the-head-or.phpCaribou Coffee Gets Real

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/adrants/medium/television/~3/5Keslt5vUZ0/ups-meets-its-deadline-falls-short.php
For client UPS, agency Doner and production firm Psyop imagine a helpless protagonist braving the challenges of a cardboard world to meet a deadline.

Well, you never heard of Danish agency We Love People but they've done one thing nobody in the industry has (that we know of: They've run a TV spot for themselves on national TV.

Necromancy.

A spankin' new ad for Beatles Rock Bandfeatures the Fab Four alive and well, loitering with fans on Abbey Road. There's even an almost-convincingly-cut scene of George Harrison strumming alongside a kid with a Rock Band guitar.
