This Rather Sexual Bakery Ad Shows How to Cook Up a Morning Quickie

In case Kraft’s Zesty Guy left you with any doubt that the world’s most boring food items can be eroticized, I present you this ad about having sex on a kitchen counter with an English muffin.

Already a viral hit in its home nation of Canada, “2-Minute Morning Quickie” from Dempster’s bakery is an entertainingly innuendo-filled romp about, essentially, how to make a homemade Egg McMuffin. 

“It doesn’t matter if you’re going solo or as a couple, you can enjoy a morning quickie just about anywhere,” the prim but provocative hostess explains. “I like the kitchen for the ample counter space and easy cleanup.”

The ad from Toronto-based agency Cundari has tallied more than a million views, and a similar spot from earlier in the year has amassed  an equally impressive 750,000 views. Check out both spots below, and then have fun imagining how awkward both ads would be if the genders were reversed.

Coke Thinks Globally, Acts Locally With World Cup Ads


Like many large marketers, Coca-Cola has been working to find the right balance between global and local in recent years, particularly when it comes to its marquee sponsorships of the Olympics and World Cup. Ultimately, marketers based in Atlanta must shape creative in such a way that marketers around the world will buy in.

James Sommerville, Coca-Cola’s VP-global design, said there are check-ins with various markets as the program is being developed to avoid a situation where marketers are unenthused by the final product.

“If there’s no collaboration; very little consultation with anybody along the way; it feels too local to the host nation; it’s not something that they can adapt — then there, potentially, would be a temptation for markets to do their own thing,” Mr. Sommerville said. “Over the last two World Cups that temptation has been removed, as we become more experienced … in developing a system that everybody can adopt rather than push against.”

Terry Crews estrela campanha da Old Spice para público brasileiro

Após estrear em março sua primeira campanha brasileira, Old Spice resolveu atender aos apelos do público tupiniquim e lançou um novo comercial, desta vez com o maior ícone da marca, o ator Terry Crews.

Com criação da Wieden + Kennedy, de Portland, em parceria com a Abso Lutely! Productions, o filme mantém o mesmo tom bem-humorado das campanhas gringas, mostrando Terry tentando chegar ao Brasil por caminhos subterrâneos. O problema é que ele erra o caminho algumas vezes. Mas, tudo bem, afinal, os brasileiros são incríveis…
