Heineken Does It Again!


Well if you found the first promotional drink advertisement from Heineken featuring the custom cooler full of beer, then you'll love the latest addition...Men With Talent! This hilarious ad begins with women watching a reality show, while their male friends are in the back talking until Men With Talent comes on, featuring beer tricks and the roles reverse. It's amazing how Heineken keeps making these cliches seem so fresh!

Rooney Powerade-d to Victory



Check out this advertisement featuring promotional soccer star Wayne Rooney taking on...himself! Clearly while Powerade acknowledges Rooney's first class talent, they make the case that his performance is certainly boosted when he has their logoed drink. And if the results worked this well for him then I'm certainly going to test out my luck with a customized bottle!

Pop Goes the Volcano!

In lieu of recent events in Europe, this Volkswagen promotional advertising video seemed most appropriate. The company endorses its custom automotive products by showing drivers go to the top of a volcano where they pour popcorn kernels into it, resulting in the nearby down being snowed down with popcorn. Volcano cooked personal popcorn...sounds tasty, right? It's at least better than week long flight delays!

Take Action...and Shower Together


In Axe Canada's latest promotional advertising video, the idea of saving water is brought about in what some would consider a more enjoyable way...by showering together. With the projected savings in the amount of water used by sharing water, while the idea may seem a little strange, it could actually be quite beneficial. I guess all one would need is a customized radio and then you could hold shower parties! While the idea is nice in theory, the idea of getting naked with a bunch of people...even strangers...seems a little strange, so maybe a personal timer to monitor how long your showers are would be more beneficial. However, for those looking to spice up their shower lives...this is a perfectly rational reason to shower together!

It’s all about the Benjamins


In a video that will make one wonder if it's advertising a promotional political campaign instead of a new currency bill, the US advertisement of the new $100 bill is stirring in a patriotic and innovative way. While Benjamin Franklin is shown in an all-American type of motif, the custom technology that has gone into this bill is what's really interesting. With a color changing 100 sign, a ribbon on the left side of the bill, and new coding systems to check its authenticity; this bill is going to be one tough cookie to copy! All I can say is that once you've seen this video, you'll be anticipating this bill with heavy enthusiasm!

We Want Our Soccer


With the World Cup starting in less than two minutes, newly created channel, Fox Soccer Plus, has been releasing ads with supporters demanding their soccer. In this ad, two supporters start singing a song you probably won't ever hear on your promotional mp3 player, but it is fun all the same. With the world's top countries throwing it all down for international glory, it's time to get out your custom soccer stress balls in anticipation for this great event. It'll be extremely interesting to see what teams conquer once the ref blows his logoed whistle!

Poker Face


Get your game faces on, because you'll be taking on the pros at Full Tilt Poker's online site! In its latest advertisement, Full Tilt takes on a darker, more mysterious approach to bolster poker players' aims to beat the pros. Are you ready for the challenge? Before taking on this literally faceless challenge, it would certainly behoove you to practice with your friends on your promotional poker set. Take the opportunity to enjoy the last few moments you'll have with your logoed playing cards, as when you're online you won't be given that luxury. In a game that mixes custom computer technology with gambling, how will you fare?

KFC’s...New Sandwich?


KFC's newly released promotional advertising video announces the arrival of the Double Down sandwich. The only creepy part (which I'm not sure if I'm grossed out by or extremely tempted to try) is that there's no bread in this sandwich. Yes, you heard me correctly, no bread. This sandwich is basically two slices of cheese, with two slices of bacon which is then stuck between two pieces of…fried chicken. Whether the advertisement of such promotional food may not seem appealing, it is most definitely intriguing. And I for one am surely tempted to try it out.

Brownie Husband


This parody of promotional advertising from SNL features the hilarious Tina Fey displaying all the fun things one can do with the Brownie Husband. Customized brownies have never looked so humanly appealing! As you can probably imagine, Tina Fey does everything from massaging the brownie to making out with it in order to make this one of the most hilarious parody ads that I have ever seen. However, while this does seem like it would be the perfect personalized gift, nothing beats the gift of laughter…which Fey provides us with brilliantly.

Pizza Stalking!


So Dominos has started to stalk its critics…but in a good way! Utilizing guerilla marketing promotions tactics perfectly, the Dominos team managed to get three of its harshest opponents to try out its redesigned pizza. And guess what…they liked it! So to avoid getting called out by these guys I suggest you either get some promotional magnets to stick on your fridge, or a customized bumper sticker to put on your car.

Talk about hitting the sack!


Check out this awesome promotional advertising video from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation. It's definitely hilarious, and even though you won't realize that it focuses on gambling and logoed casinos until the very end, you should watch this video. You'll be thinking that these guys confused the football for a customized pillow ball!

Burglar King


In this funny form of promotional advertising, the King steals McDonald's schematic for making its sausage, egg and cheese sandwich and gets away with it. Personalized food has always been my choice when it comes to eating meals, but man does this sandwich look tasty…and it's only a buck! I guess I know where we'll all be heading on mornings now.

It’s Back to the Future, No It’s Grease…


This hilarious promotional advertising video for the Volkswagen Polo draws upon scenes from the hit movies Back to the Future and Grease. Basically there is a 1950s setting, where a car race ensues where the driver of the Polo decides to hold his car back and gets the girl. It's a pretty hilarious ad, and VW does a great job of making their custom automotive product look like a great buy! So if you can get past the hysterical logoed jackets used in this ad, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
