What's that horrible sound? What are those horrifying images supposed to mean? Oh, right. It's the latest creepy ad from Quiznos.
This one shows a trio of kittens ("Singamals") in a rhythm-challenged brass band, singing very badly about the joys of the fast-food franchise's Value Menu. The ad "is...
Cristiano Ronaldo bends it like Beckham in Armani campaign
9:00 AM 6/25/2010
Talk about your World Cup. Soccer stud Cristiano Ronaldo is about to bend it like Beckham as the face (and the abs and the butt) of a new fall and winter Emporio Armani campaign for underwear and jeans. The ads were set to splash around June 25 when the captain of Team Portugal plays Brazil, but...
Ad Rant: When celebs take up a cause, results can be painful [VIDEO]
6:00 AM 6/21/2010
Here at Ad Rant, we are so excited that Leo DiCaprio and Paris Hilton just took up some new causes. Leo's helping to save the tigers of the world, and Paris is, uh, entertaining the troops in her own special way.
A celebrity's name brings much-needed attention to worthwhile causes. What...
In the future, we'll all have video phones where you can see your loved ones in real time ... oh, wait. It is the future.
Actually, the future has been with us for some time. You can already see callers on video chats, webinars and while Skype-ing. But there's nothing like a shiny new Apple...
In Part 5 of Ad Rant's series on the Best and Worst Celebrity Ads, we find a commercial more frightening than the slasher film Brooke Shields made at the start of her acting career. Lately, she's been the face of Latisse, a product you paint on your eyelids to make your lashes grow longer and...
If you want to meet your favorite rock stars, you'll find them in line at the hearing-aid clinic. Musicians are known to blow out their eardrums from performing in front of speakers set at crushing decibels, but you don't have to go through all that to have a legitimate reason for seeing a hearing...
Mental health advocates are not too crazy about Burger King's "Crazy King" campaign. They've attacked it as "blatantly offensive" and say it's perpetuating the stigma that a brain-chemistry disorder inevitably leads to arson, destruction of property and public endangerment. But perhaps what they...
Ad Rant's Best and Worst: Brad, Ringo & Elle play the name game
10:00 AM 3/26/2010
In Part Four of Ad Rant's series on The Best and Worst Celebrity Ads, we name names -- boldface names, that is, such as Ringo Starr, Bruce Willis and Elle McPherson. It's weird to see rocker Alice Cooper in an ad for a British bank ... and weirder still to see Brad Pitt offering a group of confused...
Ad Rant: Warren Buffett does his best Axl Rose for Geico
6:30 PM 3/19/2010
There are plenty of old geezers who wish they could rock out like Axl Rose just once in this lifetime, but Warren Buffett has made it a reality. Sizzling up the Internet right now is a new ad for Geico that has the normally unassuming tycoon, champion stock-picker and philanthropist joining in an...
In Part 4 of Ad Rant's series on The Best and Worst of Celebrity Ads, we wonder whether Catherine Zeta-Jones needed money to install a pool or something. Maybe her husband, Michael Douglas, isn't bringing in the big bucks anymore, because she was paid over $2 million to flip her hair around in a...
