Southern Comfort Whatever’s Comfortable Shampoo advert

Southern Comfort have introduced a new facial hair sprouting, awesome boot wearing, lady pleasing, Southern Comfort sipping hero to their Whatever’s comfortable campaign. While this long haired, snake skin booted, handle bar moustached maverick may never quite live up to the success of his scantily clad predecessor he is still pretty awesome.

The ad campaign also introduces a new, very cool soundtrack in the form of Lou Johnson’s – The Beat.

Bastille – Pompeii live for the Mahogany Sessions

If by some small chance you follow this blog closely you will have noticed that I have featured The Mahogany Sessions on here a fair few times before. I generally really like the acts they feature and I think they way they film the clips is really appealing. This awesome spot featuring Bastille performing Pompeii is their greatest success to date and is the first Mahogany video to pass 1 million YouTube views.

Old Spice New Shaving Gel campaign with Terry Crews

I am extremely pleased to see Terry Crews return for a couple of absurd Old Spice shaving gel ads. The first sees him emerge from a hospital stricken man’s bushy beard to shave his unwanted hair.

The second, which I prefer, features a bunch of new things competing to be the newest including a super muscle-y Terry Crews’ baby son.

Astronaut Chris Hadfield covers David Bowie’s Space Oddity on board the International Space Station

Chris Hadfield is a Canadian Astronaut that has established a cult following with his tweets and videos from the International Space Station. He recorded this brilliant cover of David Bowie’s Space Oddity just as his 5 month long stint in space was coming to an end. Amazing, he is as cool as his moustache is bushy.

I first found out about him when I stumbled upon this awesome clip of him wringing out a wet cloth in space, it is definitely worth watching too.

Google’s Here’s to the Moms advert

US and South African Mother’s Day are fast approaching (I think) and Google have released this great spot highlighting all the great things mom’s do for us around the world using mostly popular YouTube clips and various Google apps and communication platforms. I really like it.

Shane Dawson’s Celebrity Tweets song

YouTube star Shane Dawson composed this dramatic but hilarious song in which nearly all lyrics are the tweets of celebrities. All tweets are apparently 100% real which makes it even better.

Shadow Acts

This performance by Attraction on Britain’s Got Talent has been receiving a good deal of exposure online and rightfully so. It really is impressive and they should be very happy with it.

However it did remind me of this Gruppe Pilobolus performance which is, in my opinion, far superior.

Playboy VIP for Him Limousine advert

This Playboy VIP for Him advert is just great. I love an advert that is not afraid to be ridiculous in order to make you laugh and this one does exactly that. It features a man in a limousine who feels like flirting and a variety of crazy scenarios he could be presented with by pressing the button to lower the drivers window.
