Tonight we (just the adults) went to The British Arrow Awards at the Walker. We'd been once before and that time, and this one, I won two tickets from work, making the total cost for our evening of entertainment $4.00. Nice. The advertisements featured were both funny, in the case of Guinness and Axe and Thinkbox and Money Supermarket, and disturbing/sad in the case of the women's shelter (scary rape scene because the shelter was being defunded), childhood abuse prevention, smoking, and anti-shark finning. The did an excellent job pulling the series together to handle the ups and downs to keep you entertained rather than simply amused or too sad/shocked. Some of my favorites:
Guinness' Sheep Dog:
Money Supermarket Astronaut:
Thinkbox's Harvey & Rabbit
Funny Fortnight with Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson - my fellow Anglophiles will recognize the context of the duo together:
John Lewis Christmas Retail - The Journey
Orange Security:
John Lewis Never Knowingly Understold - not funny, but really a beautiful commercial with a great cover of INXS
