I bow to the brilliance of this ad. The ‘Eye Boner’ shows that The Orange Apple retouching is very exciting to the eye.

This photo shoot in the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar positively made my day. Comedy actor Jonah Hill spoofs the inherently silly and absurd MTV reality show ‘The Hills.’ My favorite shot is the watermelons (see original inspiration below). Jonah Hill & Riley Keough were photographed by Ben Watts.
And here is the infamous melons paparazzi shot of Heidi Montag & Spencer Pratt.
Totally fun and creative commercial from Germany promoting Bontrust Finance. The whole thing is created using banknotes. The ad agency is Grabarz & Partner Werbeagentur GmbH.
Here is some insight into the making of the characters and scenes by production company Optix Kreation.
Thanks to reader Pedro for leaving a comment on my Wolverine SNIKT poster post that led me to this re-imagination of Obama’s iconic HOPE poster. With the swine flu (H1N1), we have to COPE! I’m assuming this poster was created by Pedro. Well done!
Totally fun commercial from Dutch Comedy Central showing that you can’t help but laugh, even with a mouthful of water. Captured in slow-mo of course! The spot was directed by Nate Naylor for Modernista! ad agency.
Saturday Night Live did a hilarious parody of the movie The Fast And The Furious. The SNL clip is done by Andy Samberg and Seth Rogen and is entitled, ‘The Fast and The Bi-Curious.’ Check it out below.
German underwear brand Blush Lingerie has an alternative to spending millions and trillions of dollars on a stimulus package… Just spend $99.90 on their underwear and you can get stimulation, guaranteed!
The Solo Man Bib is a hilarious ad campaign by Solo, the real man thirst crusher, that invites men to go back to being REAL men. And that means no more day spas, talking about your feelings, and most importantly no more waxing your chest hair. Solo is an Australian carbonated lemon-flavored soft drink manufactured by Cadbury Schweppes.
The Solo Man Bib was designed exclusively for the Australian international twenty/20 cricket series. It helped ‘mansform’ supporters into men with manly chests.

Beyonce’s ‘Single Ladies’ was spoofed by everyone. Even Justin Timberlake did an SNL skit about it (wearing a leotard!). Now the song gets the presidential treatment with Barack Obama (played by Alphacat) giving it a go with new lyrics like:
I got hope on my lips
Blackberry on my hip
Secret service we rollin deep!
The video starts a bit off, but then gets rolling. I love it.
