Cannes Lions Commercials

Last night I went to check out the 2010 Cannes Lions Commercials at the WAG.  I hadn't been to see them since 1990 and the only commercial I remember had a punchline of "let's nibble on Nobby's nuts" - soooo funny to a kid. They're even funnier now as an adult and I actually get all the jokes.  I thought I would include some of my faves.  The first one is from the Canadian Cancer Society and won a Gold Lion. Yay Canada!  It really is powerful. It was the 4th commercial played and  I was sitting in the theatre about ready to cry.  I had to use my scary movie strategy and only focus on the bottom right side of the screen. This is so I don't look like a wimp who can't watch a scary movie but I also don't have to actually look at the scary stuff (btw I love scary movies and watch them all the time so I'm not actually a wimp).  Apparently it also helps to deter tears.  Please watch it though, it's really good. F*#K You Cancer!!!    The other ones are fun, fluffy laughs.  Take 'em as you like.

 

dry your eyes, it's time to guffaw
