I like these for a few reasons. I like the style. There's an designer/illustrator here in Copenhagen, Tarik Arnautovic, who is pretty well known for his illustrations which are very similar, and I've always been fond of them. I also like the double entendre, and the play with the style of illustration. Finally, I like that they're so simple, and rely on the illustrations and the illustrations alone. But that's just me.

A nice, simple and silly Halloween spot for LUX soap, by Andreas Bruns and Gunnar Heuwold from the Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg. At the very least they get credit for making a link between soap and Halloween.
I really like this campaign by Leo Burnett, which uses a YouTube ad to show how ex-offenders are so easily skipped over by employers and recruiters. Everyone - surely that's literally - skips the ads on YouTube, and perhaps the same can be said for ex-cons when they try to seek employment.
Hugh Todd, creative at Leo Burnett says, "With the subject of ex-offenders being such a contentious issue, we wanted to create a thought-provoking idea. Something that would make people re-assess how they feel towards ex-offenders. Using and subverting the ‘skip ad’ button gave us the perfect opportunity to do this."
