Because 900-year old Jedi masters can’t survive on Dagobah swamp stew and dragonlizard dicks alone, here’s Yoda in a Japanese advertisement for Nissin Cup Noodles . I’m not really sure what the relationship between Yoda and ramen is supposed to be, but my guess is a sexual one . You suck ass, George! Hit the jump for the great, now I’m hungry.

WARNING: Video will make you think less of Doc Brown. This is the followup to the previously posted Back to the Future themed teaser ad (because commercials can have teasers now) for electronics store Garbarino in Angentina. Except this one is longer. And, despite a relatively okay concept, is pretty sad. Dammit Doc — WTF do you think you’re doing?! “Just trying to make a buck.” Just trying to make a buck — go back to the future and steal a Sports Alamanac, shit! “It’s unethical.” No, ruining my perception of the great Dr. Emmet Brown, INVENTOR OF THE FLUX F***IN’ CAPACITOR is what’s unethical! Back me up, Marty. “Wait a minute, Doc, are you trying to tell me that my mother has got the hots for me?” Jesus, not this again. Hit the jump for the say it ain’t so, plus bonus fake press conference that’s even worse :/

This is a Nokia viral ad for their N8 phone featuring the world’s largest stop-motion animation, which was made on a beach using a crane (that’s a real boat in the picture). It’s a follow-up to their world’s smallest stop-motion animation and NOT a follow up to the job interview I had on Monday, which probably isn’t coming (I called the dude a pecker and threatened to choke him out with a computer cord when he asked for references). ‘Gulp’ is a short film created by Sumo Science at Aardman, depicting a fisherman going about his daily catch. Shot on location at Pendine Beach in South Wales, every frame of this stop-motion animation was shot using a Nokia N8, with its 12 megapixel camera and Carl Zeiss optics. The film has broken a world record for the ‘largest stop-motion animation set’, with the largest scene stretching over 11,000 square feet. Damn, that thing has a 12-megapixel camera? What’s my iPhone have on it? “A shit-ton of pics of your balls?” Haha, you know it! Hit the jump for the video, as well as a ‘making-of’ if you’re curious.

This is a Coke billboard in the Philippines touting the company’s greenliness. How earth-friendly is Coke besides the billboard? I have no clue. Probably not very. Whenever I have to guess about something like this I always err on the side of “companies really don’t give a shit and will only do enough to give the appearance that they do.” Hey, I could be wrong though (except there’s no way because a Mountain Dew rep actually told me that). The 60 x 60 foot living billboard in Manila is made of thousands of Fukien tea plants surrounding the iconic curvy shape of a silver Coke bottle. The project with the CO2-eating plants was created in conjunction with Coca-Cola Philippines’ Live Positively sustainability program. Pots made from recycled bottles contain the 3,600 trees, which live off a mixture of organic fertilizers. Though they are currently in the first stages of growth, the plants are expected to grow quickly, completely taking over the billboard surface, absorbing a total of 46,800 pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Who knows, maybe I’m just being cynical. Well — what’s your opinion? “It’d be cooler if that was ganja growing out of it.” OMG — so we could shoot flaming arrows at it and get high?! I WAS THINKING THE EXACT SAME THING! Coca-Cola Plant Billboard Absorbs Air Pollution [huffingtonpost] Thanks to Pat, who agrees the best technology is green technology. Wait like earth-friendly, or alien?

This is a short commercial for the Nintendo 3DS release of ‘ Ocarina of Time ‘ starring Robin Williams and his daughter Zelda, WHO READS GEEKOLOGIE and was named after Princess Zelda in 1989 after only the first two games had come out. Thankfully, he’d only played the first at the time and not ‘ The Adventure of Link ‘, because there’s no way he could have played that one and not named her ‘Seriously, F*** That Last Palace’. I still haven’t beat that shit. Hit the jump for the commercial, along with a 4:00 interview of the two talking about why she was named Zelda, in which Robin clarifies it’s not because of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s wife (although that is where Miyamoto originally got the name).

This is a Volkswagen Golf print ad that appeared in South African copies of Auto Trader magazine that’s actually edible . It was accompanied by the line ‘Eat the Road. Seriously, Eat It’ and was made from “glutinous rice flour, water, salt, propylene glycol, FD&C colour, glycerine.” What, no artificial flavor?! Please tell me it at least smelled like new car and gasoline. Clever effort, VW , so I almost hate to break it to you, BUT ALL PRINT ADS ARE EDIBLE. Don’t believe me? *tears out and eats ad from Playboy* See? *licking lips* Mmmmmm, that one must’ve had titties on the back! Hit the jump for a picture of the ad not in some guy’s mouth.

That’s right — 12.5 million . Or just one sent to the right guy *wink* . But now researchers are convinced there’s a way to drastically reduce (NOT add 4+ inches to) the amount of spam by convincing a few key banks to sever business ties with known spam-a-lama-ding-dongs. A new research paper by a team of Californian computer scientists shows the way: According to their research on almost one billion messages, 95 of all credit card sales generated by spam mails are handled by three banks from Azerbaijan, Denmark and the West Indies. That means that, if you get those banks to cut business with the illegal spammers–and chase any other financial institutions that may spring to take their position, I guess–then you will be able to kill the spam. I don’t know about you guys, but I actually don’t mind spam. And I’m not just saying that because without it my inbox would never *ding!* , but it wouldn’t and that would make me a sad bear. And you don’t want me to be a sad bear, do you? “Couldn’t care less, go play in traffic.” Traffic — or in the sewers like a ninja turtle? How Many Spam Mails Does It Take to Sell $100 of Viagra?

Nice Stark mug. Remember Volkswagen’s Superbowl commercial featuring the lil Vader who couldn’t harness The Force that captivated audiences and stole our hearts ? Well this is a Marvel parody advertising the new Thor movie that, from what I’ve seen so far, may or may yes suck Zeus’ proverbial lightning rod. I’m talking about his wiener, folks. It shoots lighting and can turn a lover into a tropical storm. I grabbed it once over the dividing wall of two urinals and turned into a low-pressure system . True story. Hit the jump for the lil Thor in action.

This is a short commercial for the new 2011 Dodge Charger, which advertises the vehicle as the leader of the human resistance against robots . They really should have run that by me first aside, I’ll allow it. And not just because I’m hoping to score a free one for posting this, but I did park my car at the bar, take a cab home, and forget which bar it was at. That was almost five months ago. I f***ing hate walking. Hit the jump for the anti-robot advertisement.

Cheer up bro, that’s a good lookin’ samwich! Because you should never make people wait to see the 1-minute commercial you’re paying $6-million to air during the Super Bowl, this is Volkswagen’s Star Wars inspired ad. I don’t want to ruin it for you, but I’m pretty sure that kid not only tried to Force-choke a baby-doll , but his dog as well, indicating some rather serious psychological issues that should probably be addressed before it’s too late to turn back to the light. “He’s Vader, man, it’s already too late.” IT’S NEVER TOO LATE! “Ever tried the Taco Bell drive-thru at 3AM on a Wednesday?” GAAAAAAH, you have a point. Hit the jump for the commercial you can now ruin for everybody else during the actual Super Bowl.
