An advert for Tempur-Pedic mattresses from America has nailed the concept that Snickers has been working on in its current campaign.

Without giving too much away this clever ad really has you guessing and is worth a watch.

In a new advert Audi has brought together two actors who have played the same character. Both Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto have played Spock in the Star Trek movies, with Nimoy portraying the character in the original series and movies and Quinto taking the reigns for the new 'rebooted' movies.

So it comes as no surprise that Audi is asking the question, which Spock is better? In the advert we see the two playing chess online, then a new challenge is laid down.

The commercial is comical, showcasing their latest car, but drawing on some past achievements of Nimoy with an interesting ending.

Created by the same team that produced the viral dollar shave club commercial, Paulilu and agency PMK*BNC.

Carphone Warehouse has recently set up a competition in their Oxford Street store to promote the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S4.

They set up a promotional display including Samsung's latest phone, encouraging customers to answer it when it rang to win an instant prize, claiming "Everyone Wins!".

The trick was that the phone calls are made by famous 'Fonejacker' comedian Kayvan Novak.

Most diet food products try and sell themselves as a route to a better life but not this Irish cheese brand. 

They decided to break the mould and poke fun at traditional advertising with its ironic 'girls from adland' video. The advert from Kerry Low Low features the standard three types of ad girl: the smug girl, the ditzy girl and the muffin girl. Each has a trait you may recognise from a number of diet food ads. 

Clever and humorous whilst also obvious - it even has a catchy song.

Have a look at the video below. Enjoy!

It appears that in Brazil using a woman's shampoo can have strange side-effects, at least that's what we gather from this ad for Dove Men+ Care made by Ogilvy & Mather Brazil.

In this humorous commercial see what happens when a work colleague uses the wrong shampoo.

Definitely an odd one but worth a watch below.

Enjoy!

In a clever add by French toilet paper company Le Trèfle, the fight between paper and digital reaches a pivotal point.

In the spot a married couple are depicted with the husband constantly trying to prove that his tablet is better than traditional paper, for drawing, doing sudoku and reading books. However his wife takes it to another level!

Clever and funny from Leo Burnett Paris, have a watch below.

Interviews can be stressful at best, but preparation is everything. That is however unless you were interviewing for Heineken's internship.

The company decided that they didn't just want someone who answered the right questions; they wanted someone up to the challenges that would lie ahead so they put the interviewees to the test.

During the course of the interviews the candidates were subjected to hand holding, fake heart attacks and fire alarms.

The one who kept their cool was voted for by the Heineken Internet community and the winner was taken to a Champions League game to represent the brand, having their success broadcast at the Juventus v Chelsea game on the 20th November 2012.

A great strategy for weeding out the chaff in the interview process or a very clever viral marketing campaign?

New York City's Pratt Institute's sculpture student Melanie Hoff wanted to find out, so she connected cables carrying 15,000 volts of electricity to a large plank of wood and then documented the results.

Surprisingly the areas around each contact point don’t simply catch on fire or burn in a circle, but rather traverse outward in a fractal-like pattern called a "Lichtenberg figure", similar to what happens when lightening hits an object. 

The amazing patterns created were captured in a video shown below.

San Francisco based start-up company Mobeam has patented technology that will allow barcodes to be scanned from Smartphone screens at checkouts.

The point-of-sale possibilities are endless for coupons and other far more fun advertising promotions. Plus, it is better than replacing every checkout scanner in the world.  

To promote the technology, Portal A created this heavily Auto-Tuned supermarket musical, in which a frustrated cashier bursts into song over the wonders of Mobeam. It includes an obligatory rap, a talking fish and a dancing janitor. The video is silly in the extreme.  

This, however, is not an app you can download, it is a technology targeted at businesses to add to their apps. And the reason for this? Modern phone screens are too high definition for normal barcode scanners to read, so the technology sends signals via an LED to the scanner to ‘trick’ it into thinking it is reading a normal barcode.

Whilst the technology will only appeal to developers and advertisers, the video will appeal to everyone. Watch it below.
