WIN

This week’s winner is a fresh ad for Nike. It features the basketball superstars Lebron and Kobe. The ad drops the risk of asking an athlete to act by switching them with muppets. Good direction and copywriting give excellent entertainment value. I watched this a couple of times (despite the annoying kid). Click here for the win.

FAIL

This next one is a double, nay, triple failure. Although it’s not the newest advertisement, it has irked me for too long. I need to get this one off my chest.

First Failure: The advertisements asks Bill Gates to act and be funny.

Second Failure: Seinfeld tries to be a little too Seinfeldy.

Third Failure: This money was wasted during the Super Bowl.
