Apple’s iPad is the most talked about product at the moment and has loads of publicity from the love it or hate it ‘marmite’ reviews of the ipad. E4 is the channel 4 spin off channel that has a sense of humour and the recent adverts for E4 are genius!
This E4 advert is the Epad and takes the piss out of the iPad as well as advertising there own unique style of comedy. This video was recommended by Laura on Facebook but as soon as we saw the advert we were waiting to find it online to post on here!
Cheryl Cole has a lot of fans, and a few critics too, and in this hard time where she is embarking on a new life as Ms Cheryl Tweedy rather than Cheryl Cole we wanted to celebrate that girl who won our hearts on Pop stars the rivals nearly 8 years ago.
I was surprised by this video as Cheryl Tweedy was not the strong confident singer you would expect for an X factor judge (although Danni Minogue is hardly in a position to criticise either). Cheryl’s performance of I’ll be right here waiting for you is very shaky and in some parts flat and screechy.
I would expect she has probably had years of vocal coaching since then but it is hard to tell from her over produced records.
What do you guys think? Do you think she is a good singer? Has she improved? Are we being over critical of gorgeous Cheryl Tweedy, the nations sweetheart – let us know in the comments.
Here’s an old song from 2005 written and performed by the girl with the gob Lily Allen called Cheryl Tweedy, it is a typical satirical Lily Allen song but since this was released Lily Allen has retracted any offense Ms Tweedy may have taken offense to.
The chorus goes into lyrics like I wish my life was a little less seedy, I wish I was not quite so greedy, and the title line is I wish I looked like Cheryl Tweedy. To be honest it seems like a nice compliment to Cheryl Cole but I’m sure Lily Allen didn’t mean it in that way.
This is a funny video put up just over a year ago, I personally think this is a bad omen as it celebrates the fact that after the first time Ashley cheated the couple (mostly Cheryl) seemed to come back bigger, better and stronger than ever!
Who would have thought that a year later Ashley would be caught out again and poor Cheryl would be in the middle of another scandal. This video is so funny as there are so many spelling mistakes and errors on the text between clips it is sad that poor Cheryl had to go through it again but at least she is getting rid of that love rat Ashley now.
Well as ironic as the lyrics to Fight for this love are now it seems Cheryl Cole has stopped fighting for her love for Ashley Cole this is still a very funny video.
Rufus Hound, host of Destination three, Mythbusters and Grime Scene, donned a red army jacket, high cut one piece and pyjama bottoms in the style of Cheryl Cole to imitate “Fight For This Love” for Sports relief. Inspired by the popularity of the reality show Lets Dance Rufus did an excellent version of Cheryl Coles dance to the song in front of judges, including one of Cheryls Band mates.
This is a very funny advert to promote Drench, the new brand of bottled water. The video stars the worlds smartest goldfish, as it’s memory is tested to the limit in order to complete a complex obstacle course and a variety of memory tests. When the goldfish looks like it is starting to struggle, a little more Drench is added to the water and the goldfish manages to regain 100% concentration!
The goldfish is CGI and so it’s quite amusing especially as the music they have on their stereo is “Push it to the limit”, a classic 80s song by Paul Engemann. This video is just one of a series of videos used as a campaign to promote Drench online. The key message is that your brain is 75% water, so you need to keep hydrated (or drenched!) in order to be able to keep your brain working at a 100%. The only flipside to this marketing campaign that I can see is that it’s just ordinary water, right? So although they might be building some great brand awareness with these adverts (I also really liked the Thunderbirds Brain advert!) is it really just advertising water?
This is a very funny video in the form of an advert for Old Spice! I remember when I was a kid, that my dad had bottles of this stuff in his garage because he didn’t want to offend my great gran when she bought some for him for christmas. Because he told her he liked it he always got some from her every year! Although way too strong to wear out in public, he kept it because it worked very well as a substitute for WD40 as and when required! I remember sneakily spraying some on my face one day to try it out, and for all intensive purposes I may as well had just have sprayed strongly scented sulphuric acid into my face! Oh my eyes!!! They still wince now, even as a distant memory.
This advert though is so good, I’m actually considering trying it again! The video is directed at the ladies, and features a man – a man that your man could smell like. In the video he tells the ladies to look at him, then look at your man, then look at him. The scene changes seamlessly from a bathroom, to a boat and finally to a beach as he shows the women what kind of man he is because he uses old spice.
The quote from the producers of the video is:
“We’re not saying this body wash will make your man smell into a romantic millionaire jet fighter pilot, but we are insinuating it.”
Excellent. I also like the fact that his final line in the advert is “I’m on a horse”.
I’ve posted this in our prank videos section of our site, but really I suppose it’s more of an advert. KLM have launched a new economy seating range that is supposed to have a number of comfort options to choose from to make your next flight with KLM as comfortable as possible. To help promote this, they had a display in Manchester Airport where a man was sat seemingly in thin air. This floating man caused a bit of stir, and people where putting their hands under him looking for a transparent perspex box or strings that could be holding him up. Although he is in a seated position, he is leaning way to far back to be able to hold this position unassisted.
The fun bit was when everyone tried to work out how he did it. There were lots of ideas / rumours flying around, such as the use of powerful magnetic fields or even that he was some kind of hologram! Ha! Although I don’t know this for certain, I have heard that there is a metal strip bolted firmly through his shoe and into the stand, that runs up his leg and under his bum. This would be enough to hold him, and would explain why he never actually moves…
A great idea for a launch to get people talking and promote their new product, as I don’t think I would otherwise have heard about KLM personal economy comfort options!
Having been a big fan of Namco’s Tekken franchise since the release of the very first Tekken game on the playstation one (or psx as I hear all the cool kids calling it!), you would think that this movie is something that I would be looking forward to with to. Well you would be wrong. I really can’t think of a single movie adaption of a computer game that I liked, but I can think of plenty that I have just plain hated! Previous films of a similar nature include Street Fighter (starring Jean Claude Van Damme) and Mortal Kombat. Street fighter was so bad it became amusing, whereas Mortal Kombat was more tongue in cheek but ultimately it was never going to win an award!
So why don’t computer games convert well into films? Well in a lot of cases it’s the fault of the directors, lack of budget, and just terrible scripts! Also, just because a computer game is awesome, doesn’t mean that it’s going to make a great film, especially in the case of fighting games which have a very limited plot anyway. Tekken in particular has such a weird set of storylines that I really don’t know what’s going on sometimes!
Watching this Tekken trailer, I cringed, I laughed out loud, I cried, and then… finally… I died a little inside. It just looks truely awful. The costumes although staying true to the game look ridiculous, the effects look similar to a budget sci fi movie from the 80’s, and the story line… is there one? Again the casting even seems quite good with recognisable characters, but the film just looks BAD. It hasn’t learnt the important lessons from previous game to movie films and I fear a lot of loyal fans will be disappointed, and this could be close to being a straight to DVD movie. But hey, that’s just my opinion. Maybe some of you will watch this and go “whoooaaaa, that looks awesome”. But I doubt it.
Thinking about it, there is one game to movie film that I liked but it was the manga version of street fighter. Maybe if Tekken was a computer animated film then a lot of the issues with costumes, budgets etc wouldn’t be a problem, and maybe you could make a half decent adaption?
Tekken is due for release later this year in summer 2010.
This Crazies looks like the kind of film that I love, and that torment my wife! In this trailer it looks as though something is making the residents of a small town go “crazy” in a style that is very reminiscent of a zombie style movie much like George Romero living dead series of films. These films always start off with small ominous events that eventually amount into an apocolyptic disaster. Not only do I find these films thoroughly entertaining to watch, but the scare factor (usually limited to scenes that make you jump!) is doubled for my wife as I grab her on the leg at the key minutes to terrify her further!
Much like the zombie movies that are normally caused by a virus of unknown origin, the inhabitants of this small Pennsylvania town are victims of a secret biological weapon that gets into their water supply following a plane crash. As the film isn’t strictly speaking a zombie movie (although it seems to have some amazing similarities!) it opens up a lot of potential for extra creepy scenes! I can’t wait to see it.
** UPDATE ** Thanks to Matt who just pointed out that the film is actually a remake of a 1973 film by George Romero (which explains a lot!). The film stars Timothy Olyphant (recently in Hitman) and Radha Mitchell (Surrogates, Silent Hill) and is directed by Breck Eisner (Sahara). The film is released in the cinemas on the 26th February in the UK.
