1. Little Thor

In February we wrote about the latest Volkswagen commercial called The Force. The ad has been watched 37 million times by now. Wow! We doubt if the ad from Marvel, a comic book entertainment company, will reach the same but we do think it is a good and funny parody on the Volkswagen ad. Watch the video by yourself and see how the end in this one is quite different than the original one! It is online since the 19th of April and has been watched more than 1.3 million times!

2. Call of the Dead

The famous first person shooter series Call of Duty comes with a new map pack in a few days. To give players a sneak preview, Treyarch, the production company, comes with this movie lookalike trailer. The video went live on 26th of April and till today has more than 1.5 million views. Enjoy the game as a member of a dream-team of Sarah Michelle Gellar, Robert Englund, Michael Rooker, and Danny Trejo against a new and unnerving zombie menace or check the Call of Duty YouTube channel for more videos.

3. Lamborghini Aventador

Lamborghini has released an official commercial for the new Aventador LP700-4. The commercial (which lasts almost 3 minutes) shows a dramatic and aggressive appearance of a fantastic car that almost seems out of this world. The Italian supercar maker has given an epic proportion to the car, creating almost a superhero that can fight this imaginary cataclysm. Take a sit and enjoy!

4. Budweiser Poolball

Ogilvy Argentina, an advertising agency, developed an action for Budweiser combining two totally different sports into one - pool and soccer. And what do you get when you put these two together? The answer is simple: Poolball. In order to play you need a giant pool table and 15 redesigned soccer balls which look like pool balls. Doesn’t it sound cool? The video is online since April 20th with more than 50.000 views.

5. Sony Cybershot – Einstein

“Stories are better Panoramic” claims Sony. Sony’s new Cyber-shot campaign is showing us the story behind two historical pictures. In this video you will get to see what the story is behind the picture where Albert Einstein is sticking out his tongue. This video has more than 40.000 views on YouTube within 9 days. Watch here which story is told of Marlilyn Monroe’s million dollar smile.
