  The Most Pretentious Commercial Ever

  (Advertisements)
  [ 2:47 - from YouTube ]

  I don't want to spoil what this is a commercial for, but it may just be the most hilariously overwrought match of product and visuals in advertising history. Showered in Gustavo Santollala's evocative score, with imagery so slickly beautiful it would make Janusz Kaminski weep, this ad earned huge gales of laughter when it played in movie theaters last year. The punchline happens at 2:41. view

  Cockroach vs. Gay Weatherman

  (TV Clip)
  [ 0:46 - from YouTube ]

  This clip is funny, but I can't blame this guy for reacting the way he does. If you saw a cockroach crawling up your leg, wouldn't you scream like a little girl too? This must've been fun for the people watching the weather report at home. view

  Pink Project - Another Brick in the Wall 1982

  (TV Clip)
  [ 3:20 - from YouTube ]

  Here's a terrifically strange clip from 1982 Italian television.  Disco band Pink Project perform in mysterious black wizard outfits, do choreographed guitar shreds, and are joined by a children's choir.  Once again, YouTube becomes a portal to another dimension. view

  CareerBuilder.com 2010 Big Game Commercial - Casual Friday

  (Advertisements)
  [ 0:31 - from YouTube ]

  In a bit of irony we *hope* was not intentional, CareerBuilder eliminates the jobs of even more advertising execs by turning their Super Bowl commercial over to the unwashed, unpaid masses. Is it just me or does this “finalist” spot make you yearn for the professionals... or at least something easier on the eyes? view

  All Unquiet Things by Anna Jarzab

  (Trailers)
  [ 0:38 - from YouTube ]

  Book trailers are still relatively new on the Web and many of the early efforts have seemed more like slideshows or power point presentations. Here's one that stands out. It's for Anna Jarzab's "All Unquiet Things," and it seems to hit the right tone -- a little mystery, a little suspense. Oh yeah, and it uses VIDEO -- something most book trailers don't do (but should!). view
