Even after figuring out the double entendre after replaying this video, I still don't get it. Levi Johnston does what with protection? Busts open a n.... Oh ... I just got it. There's like two double entendres going on here. Nuts. Video, after the jump....

If a cow and a pig had rap names, they'd obviously be Moo and Oink. They'd freestyle about chitlins, nuggets, baybeh baybeh baybeh spare ribs, and cube steak, and encourage audience participation, naturally. "Gimme a wave if you like catfish! Jump up if it's your favorite dish! Tommy likes ribs and chicken wingsssss. If you like them too lemme hear you scream!" Moo & Oink is an actual Chicago-based grocery chain and meat wholesaler with these two lovable mascots. (Pay special attention at about 0:20 when it gets all technofied. Turn it up!) The video, after the jump....

The advertising world really does not flex the powers of maniacal cheese-faced men with curry-shooting laser gun fingers enough. Not nearly enough! I can't vouch for the tastiness of that orange goo but having Cheese Face Man himself pop through the window and blast your cup, now that is tableside service. This ad inspired a remix with Cheese Face Man deejaying (and busting his cheese curry gun moves on stage, obviously!) mashed up with cameos by Onion Bulb Face Man, Tomato Face Man, and what appears to be White Circular Blob Face Woman. The videos, after the jump....

AdFreak is calling this spot for Johnnie Walker whiskey the best ad of the year so far. At six and a half minutes, it's a bit long but well worth viewing. It's shot in a continuous long take, with Scottish actor Robert Carlyle narrating the history of the brand as he walks down a road in the Scottish highlands. The mini movie becomes completely engaging about a minute in, when you realize the director has worked in a clever set of well-timed visual cues at roadside that correspond to Carlyle's walking, talking narrative. Watch it, after the jump....

Plush sushi pillows are a little pricey—$40 for a California roll and $69 for an edamame body pillow, but after this commercial, you might be brainwashed into one. Or just freaked that four people in all black will chase you across bridges in the snow to Go-go music. The video, after the jump....

There's something about these Hamm's beer commercials from the 1950s that make me really want a glass of beer from the Land of Sky Blue Waters. It's probably a combination of the hypnotic jingle, the animated beer-peddling bear accompanied by a singing goose, and the deep, soothing voiceover that goes, "Hamm's...mmmm...Hamm's!" And I don't even like beer. (There's even a Hamm's Club for fans of this former brewery based in Minnesota.) Watch the video after the jump....

"You know, people who don't drink Wilkins Coffee just blow up sometimes!" How do you grab people's attention with only ten seconds to advertise your product? Puppets and violence! Muppet Wiki has the story behind these commercials made by Jim Henson from 1957 to 1961 featuring two puppets named Wilkins and Wontkins. Wilkins (who kind of resembles a proto-version of Kermit the Frog) pushes the importance of drinking Wilkins Coffee by inflicting various kinds of physical pain— shooting, clubbing, near-beheading, etc.—on the anti-Wilkins Coffee Wontkins. Considering how quickly these commercials fly by, they're strangely dark and funny at the same time. Hopefully they wont result in nightmares of being attacked by Muppets. Watch the video after the jump....

"So ladies, just relax; someday your prince is gonna come and he's gonna bring a fun product and when he does you'll live happily ever after!" —Sarah Haskins What products is Sarah Haskins of Target Women talking about? Oh, you know—cream cheese, frozen rolls, milk. The things women love! Or the things advertisers want women to love. Same difference. Watch the video after the jump....

There are movers and shakers in the food world that don't always get proper praise. The person carving baby carrots from the giant orange hunks that grow in the ground. The fro-yo nozzle engineer. And the great mind behind the giant taco salad, perhaps the only "salad" that may set you back 12,000 calories. I didn't realize this was a Bud Light commercial until the very end—it made me want a pound of guacamole, beans, and shredded cheese (and a few lettuce slivers, sure) more than a beer. The video, after the jump....
