This ad for the German (?) digital TV service Premiere is one of three featured on Ads of the World. The other two invoke Scream and Spider-Man. No idea if these are real ads or spec/student/portfolio work, but still pretty funny.

Poking around I also found a few more Star Wars-themed ads for Sony, Blockbuster and Disney (1, 2, 3, 4.) And it appears that Spike wasn’t the first to put fluorescents to work for the cause.

Spike promotion puts lightsabers on the streets of New York. Or, well, wrapped fluorescent bulbs anyway. Clever idea, but unlike Urbanite I can’t see anyone bothering to steal them. At least, not anyone with half a brain.

Ads running in the Los Angeles Times for the upcoming Natalie Portman film Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium will feature scratch-n-sniff ink that smells like a cake.

This is something I could totally get behind….

As you may have gathered yesterday, a gamer I am not. But I ran across 1Up’s Best Worst Ads, Bestest Worser Ads and Best Worst Ads 3 only to be amused by the horrid video game ads of yesteryear. Mullets! Electronics! Geeks! You’ll love it.

Lucasfilm’s For Your Consideration ads for Revenge of the Sith.

Natalie Portman? Seriously?

Two new commercials: “Brothers” and “Celebration“. Alas, I am on a computer with no Quicktime, but I’m guessing they’re light on Palpy action. There’s also a “Science of Star Wars” special airing on Discovery.
