Video Round-Up: Awesome Ads Edition

Video Round-Up is a weekly post collecting an assortment of videos from around the web. Whether they be music videos, creative viral marketing, just plain cool, or just plain ridiculous, they will all be found on Video Round-Up.
This week in the Video Round-Up we have a collection of awesome commercials. Whether they are great viral internet ads, awfully hilarious commercials for dumpy local stores, or ingenious send-ups of big company ads by the Davids of the world, we've got them here. So sit back and enjoy being sold to.



We'll start with the ad that you are most likely to have seen already. Sometimes, teenagers just can't seem to get it through their heads not to text during a movie. It doesn't matter if you aren't making noise, that bright glowing screen in an otherwise dark room is super distracting to others. The Alamo Drafthouse wants to let its potential customers know that they squash this kind of behavior, so what better way than this?



You just have to love crappy local commercials. They're often so terrible that they are brilliant. This is one of those times. I'm not sure why Frankie and Jonny mimic Foghorn Leghorn, employ someone known as "The Special Man" just to tell them what to do, or why that crazy person is yelling "WITH NOOOO PROOOOOOBLEMS!" all the time, but it all equals up to comedy gold in my book.



Sick of beer commercials that try to put ridiculous spins on the most basic of things? So is this small brewery that is forced to compete with them. So, they launched a brilliant ad campaign mocking the big boys of beer. This is the first commercial setting the precedent for the rest, and below are the wonderfully clever mockeries of beer commercial tropes.
