More than often, lawyer commercials tend to be the butt of many jokes. Fact is many lawyer commercials are just plain awful. Is it because the style is heavily commercialized? Is it because the end product is what the client wants? Or is it a combination of two factors-- the client does not know what s/he wants and the producer is afraid to explore possibilities outside of the "parameters" (for fear of being sued)? What if someone had balls to explore the possibilities?
Another great commercial is here! Though I personally do not like this one as much as the others, it is still a stand-out. While you're at it, don't forget to tend to your plants!
New Wizard101 commercial coming right up! This one features Morganthe and the new features of Celestia. It does seem kind of strange, but kind of satisfying to know that those level 50'ers will have something else to do now!
The SCRABBLE Brand trademark has been around since 1948, but video advertisements for the popular board game didn't appear until the start of this millennium. Although there may be a few SCRABBLE video spots out there that predate 2000, I haven't come across them.
I guarantee this will make your day.
I was just very amused by this commercial for Portal.
Do you have AMNESIA? How about SYPHILIS? Or have you gotten SODOMIZED? Well, the people pictured below do, and I don't feel sorry for them, not at all——those words would kill on the SCRABBLE board!
Have you ever fallen asleep watching television only to be rudely awoken by one of those obnoxious commercials that randomly play three times as loud as everything else? While the FCC actually made excessively loud commercials illegal as of last December, it's up to providers to comply, so the problem will probably take a while to go away.

Move over NASA— SpaceX is taking over. Well, not really. But today, the privately funded spacecraft company broke all expectations when their Dragon capsule fell to a soft landing in the Pacific Ocean, completing an undoubtedly successful demo flight of nearly two full trips around Earth. It was the first re-entry of a commercial spacecraft ever, bringing commercial space transportation closer to reality.
What do you do when you accidentally stain your favorite article of clothing with coffee, red wine, or pasta sauce? If you aren't within immediate reach of laundry detergent or commercial stain removers, you can use many common household staples such as baking soda and white vinegar to remove the offending stains right away—sometimes even better than their commercial counterparts.
Eric Escobar, acclaimed independent film and commercial director, delves into the ways in which you can create a quality material in post by having done the necessary leg work in prep. Never again should you hear: "We'll fix it in post." Plan for post in a film production workflow.
Home improvement expert Danny Lipford shows how to build and install a cheap dumbwaiter in your home in this video tutorial.

Kids who watch a lot of television can easily become couch potatoes. Personal trainer Jackie Curley offers advice and tips on how to motivate kids to be more active even while watching television. Suggestions include having kids do exercises during commercials. Prevent your kids from becoming couch potatoes.
These are great times. It is about time advertisers invaded our video games in the same way they do our driving (billboards), walking (fliyers, posters), and our private home (emails, bulk mail, text messages).
To say Steven Purugganan is fast is an understatement. The twelve-year-old from Longmeadow, Massachusetts has won two Cup Stacking world championships, and appeared in commercials for McDonald's and Firefox.
To go Open Source or go proprietary? There is a common conception that open-source is unsafe and insecure and therefore companies should rather go for proprietary solutions. They think that because software is termed "open-source", that the world can see the vulnerabilities of the software and might exploit it, and less informed people tend to think that open-source software can be modified while it is running.
In the first tutorial, Creative Cow leader Aharon Rabinowitz shows you how to use After Effects to simulate the popular light writing effect seen in recent Sprint commercials.

This is an advanced tutorial so you should be comfortable with After Effects before starting. The beginning of the video explains what you should know or review first. Write with ...
From a Japanese commercial. Fake, but awesome. Read more about Meijin here.
Watch this beautifully shot film and try to guess what the product is.
This particular chunk of our Gareth Edwards (Monsters) interview contains this message: grab your camera, install some commercial post-production graphics software on your computer and start motion tracking!
A family vacation to Mars might be in the not-too-distant horizon, with the first successful manned solo flight of Virgin Atlantic's VSS Enterprise this past Sunday morning. Taking off from the Mojave Air and Spaceport in California, the commercial spaceship separated from its mothership at an altitude of 45,000 feet, piloted by Pete Siebold and Mike Alsbury for a period of eleven minutes before safe landing.
Check out this great video by Spanish commercial director Miguel Shaw. Note: The really good stuff starts at 0:40.
This is the best source for this video I've found. It's a great commercial and it gets us really pumped for the upcoming
So Half Life 2 is coming to Steam for the Mac!
I really really want this game but 1. It's $60 for what feels like a $40 game.
Modnation Racers is like the Kart version of Little Big Planet. Kevin Butler is a comedian that does PS3 commercials here and there, good stuff.
Pommers love cake! Entered in a contest to be the next Baskin Robbins ice cream commercial.
Massive bouncy ball installation by Australian artist Nike Savvas. Entitled "Full of Love and Full of Wonder", each bouncy ball "represents the very atoms that are the fundamental structural units of all things".
Check out this homemade insect repellent idea. It is pretty awesome. Bug bites are the worst, so this might just be the answer to combat them on a budget. Safe, DIY Insect Repellents.
The Kinect for Xbox 360 and PlayStation Move might be fun to play with, but people do not look very cool while they're doing it. Air guitar is not particularly flattering (even if done on stage), and neither is air-anything else, as pleasurable as it might be. This is why I find it strange that a group of admen somewhere in the world think these kinds of commercials would appeal to anyone.
Today we pay homage to a phenomenon. One as diffuse and amusing as the internet itself, and as pointless as dog Halloween costumes. I'm speaking, of course, of giant games.
Close down a street (preferably one with a steep hill.) Park a truck, filled to the brim with bouncy balls, on top of that hill.
