Alright, I’m not going to wax poetic about the Superbowl Ads because there are a million people out there who will take that prize, but I do want to share my faves from this year’s lot. Before I do, how craptastic is it for us Canadians? We get regular ol’ commercials and every [...]
I have pretty much lambasted Tim Horton’s on this blog because of their terrible “shove it down your throat” wholesomey goodness commercials which just plain suck. Yet as much as I throw the book at them, I have to give them gold stars where deserved, and the latest Sidney Crosby/Tim Horton’s ad is awesome. [...]
I write a lot about music, partly because I dabble in it, mostly because it inspires me. I get such a kick of finding a new song or artist…which reminds me of a story. I was the tender age of 16, I had just begun liking dance/electronic music and somehow I came across [...]
***Edit – Cormier Suspended***
Patrice Cormier has accepted his punishment, suspended for the remainder of the year and the playoffs, without lodging an appeal. Frankly, it’s the smartest thing he’s done, but I still feel it falls far below what should have been done.
I imagine a lot of people have seen the hit by Patrick [...]
More and more, the commercials we see on TV are much more entertaining than they used to be, whether funny, sad, poignant…you get the idea. Here are some of my favorite.
1. Ikea Lamp
Spike Jonz directed this commercial and did it with perfection. I think it got a lot of us, perhaps making [...]
I witnessed “the was” when FUDDYTV was birthed on a warm spring evening. I have been a part of “the now” while FUDDYTV mustered up another humdinger of a video. However, I will not be a part of “the coming” during FUDDYTV’s rise to the bigger and better.
This last video, “The Roommates Series Finale: [...]
Such a simple premise, but who would have thunk it? This guy did and it’s some of the neatest, coolest book cover art you’ll see. Simply by cutting the cover characters and mixing them together he successfully creates book covers that are interesting and come to life.

I can’t remember when it changed. As a young lad I would jump on the chance to hop on a plane and go to some far off place, reveling in the magic of flight. Yet somehow, over the years, I have developed an incredible fear of flying. Weeks leading up to any [...]
The success of our Car Dance Party Belgium video keeps going and going!
When we were asked by Happiness Brussels, Toyota’s Ad Agency in Belgium, to travel to Belgium and bring our Boris and Juri characters with us – we never thought it would go this far. Car Dance Party began as an idea for [...]
While it looks like we’re a little behind the times, this ad was airing in 2007 in Australia for pete’s sake, looks like we in North America are just seeing it for the first time and it is fantastic! The cup, the onion and the most adorable donut you’ll see today follow around a [...]

When I lived in Los Angeles, I used to yearn for Calgary…I remember the people were nice, the city was vibrant and the traffic was good. It was a pure city. That has drastically changed.
Since moving back to my birth town, I have seen this city infiltrated with money-hungry douchebags clogging city streets [...]

Let’s face it, the departure of our fine friend Dave kind of rocked our world and threw FUDDYTV into panic mode. Suddenly and out of the blue we’d lost an integral part of our group. So as we picked up the pieces and decided how we were going to move forward, we threw [...]

I have a small and nagging problem. It’s my mother, and her utter lack of any expertise with the computer…bless her heart. You see, she’s stuck in the Windows XP world, waiting too many minutes to start up the machine and the constant crashes, bog downs and useless crap. It’s no surprise [...]

sweet disposition
never too soon
oh reckless abandon
like no one’s
watching you
a moment, a love
a dream, a laugh
a kiss, a cry
our rights, our wrongs
a moment, a love
a dream, a laugh
a moment, a love
a dream, a laugh
chorus
just stay there
cause i’ll be comin over
and while our bloods still young
it’s so young
it runs
and we won’t stop til it’s over
won’t stop to [...]

I saw this pic in a newspaper and had to share it with all of you. These were taken at the premiere of ‘Bruno’, in Spain. Take notice of the gay Spanish Matador’s in the background. All I can say is “freakn’ hilarious!”

There is nothing more irritating to me than to see a picture of a burger or packaged item nicely photoshopped for the maximum effect. In fact, while regulatory bodies don’t see it as such, I call it blatant false advertising…a nice exterior put on top of a mediocre product. Let’s have a peak [...]

First let me say, that if this didn’t give you nightmares as a kid, you are twisted. The Dark Crystal by Jim Henson was perhaps one of the freakiest movies I’d ever seen. Here’s a quick scene from the movie, chock full of imprisoned people, strange crystal lights and scary characters that kept [...]

I found this Green Lantern trailer on YouTube and was absolutely amazed. Why? Because it is completely fake. It was put together using a series of movie clips from Star Trek, Lord of the Rings and Serenity to name a few. The guy then adds his own computer effects and puts in a little movie trailer music (I think [...]
