Cute New AT&T Ad Will Blow Your Mind

Is there anything more annoying for adults than having to admit to children that you are wrong and they are right?

Well, maybe we should ask this guy from the latest ad in AT&T's It's Not Complicated TV campaign.

Children do say the funniest things, but sometimes they can annoyingly come up with the smartest things.

So when he asks a group of kids in a classroom to come up with the biggest number they can think of, he probably wasn't expecting one of them to beat his own number, especially when one of his cheeky interviewees had earlier offered '10'. 

Suffice to say, his response to being trumped is priceless, pushing this short TV ad into the Unruly Viral Video Chart's top 20 most shared ads over the last 24 hours. 

Arnold Schwarzenegger (Sort Of) Does The Harlem Shake For YouTube Comedy Week

As we all know, Arnold Schwarzenegger is a comedy legend. Who could forget his hilarious performances on Twins, Jingle All The Way and, best yet, The Expendables 2?

So when Arnie says something is funny, you listen, particularly when he is willing to participate in the Harlem Shake and even attempt Ben Stiller’s famous Blue Steel pose to make his point.

What has got him so excited, you may ask? Well, YouTube this week launched its first ever comedy week, and The Terminator star was more than happy to add his considerable muscle behind it.

Not that Arnie himself will be tuning in to watch seven days of brand new videos and live events from some of the biggest names in comedy. He simply does not have the time in between visits to the gym.

But Schwarzenegger is confident that with acts such as The Lonely Island, Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller all lined up this week, that it will be a week to remember.

Comedy Week started yesterday, prompting a huge surge in shares for this video. The ad has so far attracted over 3.1 million views and almost 40,000 shares since its release on May 13.

Arnie is back!

Cracking New Ad From Rhett & Link Will Make You Wince In Pain

The Commercial Kings, Rhett & Link, are back with a new commercial - and this cracking campaign will make you feel even more uncomfortable than their usual ads.

It's for the Ryan Lee Chiropractic Center, in Los Angeles, and essentially consists of the eponymous Lee cracking the bones and contorting the bodies of a number of his patients.

His tagline is "Gentle. Comfortable. Professional" - but by the looks of the terrified faces of the array of attractive ladies he has on his table and the sickening, bone-crunching noises that accompanies every procedure he makes, I'm not so sure about the second adjective.

However, as always, The Commercial Kings have come up with an ad that is far more watchable than it should be.

Volkwagen's New Safety Ad Will Make Your Heart Skip A Beat

Here is an ad that is sure to wake you from your morning drowsiness with a jolt. Volkswagen's "Lucky Man" may start like a saccharin-sweet breakfast treat, but it certainly doesn't end that way.

Created by Deutsch LA, the commercial begins with the perfect family man waking up from his perfect slumber in his perfect house. Let's call him Jim.

Jim kisses his perfect wife and then bonds perfectly over the breakfast table with his son. Even the song - a cover of Emerson Lake and Palmer's "Lucky Man" by My Morning Jacket's Jim James - perfectly portrays Jim's life. Lucky Jim!

But can Jim's luck last? Well, clearly, Jim has taken his blessed life a little bit too casually as he seems to think that if he reverses into the path of a speeding car he will somehow avoid an accident.

Well, he doesn't, but thanks to the Volkswagen Passat (and the vehicle's coveted status as a 2013 IIHS Top Safety Pick) he escapes unscathed. Not sure about the other driver, though!

The choice of music is, of course, ironic. Jim is a lucky sod, but the fact that he walked away from the accident is more down to the vehicle's design, not luck.

Directed by MJZ director Matthijs van Heijningen, who also shot the Cannes-conquering "The Bear" spot for BETC and Canal+, the spot is a well-made safety message that could well make you think twice the next time you buy a car.

Are These The Strangest Old Spice Ads Of All Time?

A baby with muscles, a giant bearded man who vomits Old Spice shaving gel cans, solar panels that can talk - are the newest Old Spice ads also the strangest?

It certainly seems that way. Sure, we have become accustomed to the male grooming brand's weakening grip on reality. We can even tolerate listening to shouty Terry Crews once in a while.

But the latest couple of ads - once again put together by W+K - make surreal TV show Twin Peaks look like the most warts-and-all episode of One Born Every Minute.

Clearly, Old Spice is in some kind of battle with Skittles to see whose festering lizard brain can out-David Lynch the other. On the evidence of these two ads, the P&G brand has just taken the lead.

In the first ad, "Baby", there are talking socks, a talking bed, a talking mouse, and, of course, talking solar panels. But these are relatively normal compared to 'Crews Jr', who appears ripped like his dad.

In the second ad, "Shave", we see a giant wake up in hospital confused. No wonder, as he seems to have Crews tangled up in his beard armed with a razor. But he can't have a shave without gel, right? Well, thankfully, one just so happens to spew from his mouth. Job done!

Old Spice's descent into sheer madness is charming, but the best part of both ads is the call to action at the end - "Download this to Your Face!"

Windows 8 Can Help You Play Ping Pong With Your Butt, Says Slightly Odd New Ad

Could you apply a full face of make-up in just 10 seconds? No, I didn't think so. OK, but could you play ping pong with your bum?

Well, thanks to Windows 8, you can. Or at least I think that is the message of these slightly odd new online-only ads. To be honest, I was a bit lost.

Created specifically for the Asian market, the "Windows 8 Training Camp" campaign - which also includes a competition to see what a trio of hopefuls can do with just one finger and a watermelon - are intended to showcase the many benefits of the Microsoft's new operating system.

"Watermelon" is supposed to illustrate 'the power of touch', "Make-up" how 'fast and beautiful' the new system is, while "Table Tennis"...well, I have no idea, to be honest. 

Just to make us even more confused, according to Microsoft, these ads were only added to its YouTube channel by mistake, while some native Korean and Chinese speakers say the ads are actually speaking gibberish.

Whatever the truth, we are still utterly compelled. And so are a lot of people online by the look of it. Leading the way among the triumvirate is 'Make-Up', which has so far attracted over 15,000 shares and 330,000 views since its launch on May 9. 

Looking good!
