Campaigns include their Yeo Valley 'singing farmer' ads, this year's Three Little Pigs Guardian spot, as well as the London Marathon The Day After ad.

As for the spot that takes the throne, let's just say it involves a group of felines that happened to have evolved an extra digit!

Woolly Actors Guild Releases Secret Audition Tapes

You may remember them from the kids' programmes of your childhood. They sang to you, told you stories and showed you the wonders of sticky-back plastic. But Wool Actors face an injustice that most of us don't know about, The Woolly Actors Guild is trying to change that.

The Woolly Actors Guild (WAG) is fronted by Monkey, famous for advertising PG Tips. He's leading the campaign to end prejudice against his fellow furry thespians.

WAG is raising awareness of the discrimination facing woolly actors, who are regularly refused serious acting roles based solely on their appearance. The guild's campaign seeks to end this, believing that actors deserve equal employment opportunities, regardless of whether they are woolly, furry, feathered or fleshy.

To help their fight for furry rights, WAG have got their paws on audition tapes for classic movies. These tapes are all examples of instances where furry actors were cruelly denied stardom on the basis that they were "too woolly".

Despite fine performances, woolly actors have been refused roles in Scarface, Jaws, Notting Hill and Jurassic Park. We implore you, watch these clips and help WAG bring woolism to an end.

OK, OK, we'll be honest here. There is no such thing as woolism and WAG isn't real. These videos are ads put together by Mother for Comic Relief. If you donate to WAG, the money goes to Comic Relief. Of course, that's a secret, the clips don't tell you that until the very end.

The hilarious clips have all seen their fair share of likes since they were launched two days ago, with Bungle's fantastic performance in Jaws earning almost 4,000 views and over 630 shares.

Whether you're donating to WAG, Comic Relief, or just looking for a nostalgic giggle, we recommend you give these all a watch.

Doritos Mexican Band Is Britain's Latest Pop Sensation!

Doritos has launched a new spot that features a slightly different Mariachi band than we are used to seeing.

They have got their national green attire and their traditional Mexican hats, but this is no ordinary Mexican band, as they appear at parties and perform British Pop classics!

The ad, created by AMV BBDO London, follows the 'Mariachi Doritos' band as it brings Mexican fun to house parties by singing numbers such as Don't You Want Me by The Human League and Monster by The Automatic. Their strapline? 'For fun, add a little Mexican'.

The advert is rather comical and also has a surprise factor to it, both key triggers that will help the spot receive shares online.

The spot may offend some Mexican citizens, as it exploits the country's traditional music by having a Mariachi band sing British songs. However, hopefully most will see it as a bit of fun!

The campaign also has an interactive element to it: the spot directs viewers to Doritos' Facebook page that offers them the chance to win a prizes.

The spot was released today and is set to run for four weeks on TV. Online the ad has so far attracted 100 views, but be sure to see these grow in the next few days. Watch the spot below...

Morphing Baby Stars In Disturbing Direct TV Ad

There's a new baby in the family, but as relatives gather to coo over the little chap, he does something very unusual and rather creepy.

As aunties and uncles fuss over the little bundle of joy, they debate who in the clan he most resembles, with horrifying consequences.

At first things aren't all that awful. A doting aunt suggests his eyes resemble those of someone else in the tribe. Which they do, their bright and brown and...a little too big for his head.

The next suggestion is that he's got Uncle Nacho's big bushy eyebrows. Then it's Cecillia's mouth, Grandpa's ears, followed by a thin moustache and then a receding hairline. It's terrifying! 

The minute mutant alters his features to resemble whoever he's being compared to. Finally, his own mother creates the worst result yet, she can't decide who he looks like. The tiny terror becomes a composite of all the freakish faces so far. 

What freakish skill allows him to do this? And how is nobody else as scared as we are?

The answer is revealed, this is not a horror movie, but an ad for Direct TV. The cable network features so many channels that you can see whatever you want. Suddenly it makes sense, the baby is not a aberration of nature, but an analogy, the family see what they want to see.

Produced by Young & Rubicam, Buenos Aires, the ad is intended to run on Argentinian TV, but has found fame, or infamy, online, garnering nearly 4,500 views and 145 shares since it was launched two days ago. 

It's true that people may see what they want to see. But we're not sure how many people would want to see this ad: it's very creepy. 

The idea behind the ad is great, but we wonder how many people have run away screaming before the big reveal. 

New Video Adds A Splash Of Colour To Goal Celebrations

There is nothing quite like watching your team score a goal. The ball hits the back of the net, prompting scenes of adulation as the scorer run to the corner flag to celebrate with the fans. 

Beers start flying around the pub and strangers hug each other. It's a fantastic feeling. Surely, for a football fan, there is no better sight. Or is there? 

Imagine if those goal celebrations included special effects. What is the goal celebrations were brought to life with vivid colours?

Well, this video does just that. Featuring celebrations from famous footballing faces, it adds a totally new dimension to a traditional scene of joy.

Cristiano Ronaldo has laser vision, Wayne Rooney bursts aflame and Anderson Luis shoots guns at the crowd.

The video has some great comical moments as well, with Manchester United's Nani taking out a Star Wars Stormtrooper, Arsene Wenger riding a toy horse and the best of all of them - Arsenal keeper Wojciech Szczesny playing an accordion!

It's no doubt whoever made this meme was a Manchester United fan, with the best clips dedicated to their players and the comical effects mostly applied to Arsenal!

Nonetheless, whoever you support, it makes for a great watch and has already been viewed over 2 million times and shared on 36,000 times
