Biffy Clyro—Simon Neil, and twin brothers James and Ben Johnston—turn thirty this year, and what better way to celebrate than with some endurance-based performance exercises? Directed by Piers Dennis and choreographed by Steven Hoggett ('The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time', 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street'), the promo for 'A Little Love' is physical to say the least.

What does a Three customer look like? This 30" commercial from agency Wonderhood Studios makes them easy to spot—just be careful not to go blind or have your skin burnt off. Three customers have an unmistakable glow, the brand says, as if they swallowed every lightbulb in the house and a torch for good measure. Who needs the Sun when this lot are out and about?

This Squarespace commercial is Nineties as hell and all the better for it. Scored by 'Click Go the Shears', a dyed-in-the-wool folk song from down under, it celebrates the tradesmen and women who keep modern-day Australia and New Zealand in good nick. Director Zach Tavel's spot goes back in time, however, with a look and tone that screams analogue television.

Keen not to let Lamine Yamal and Cole Palmer have all the fun, Kobbie Mainoo becomes the latest footballer to star in a Beats by Dre commercial. The Manchester United and England midfielder runs to the sound of 'ABC' by Nemzzz, who also appears as Mainoo's wingman en route. Director Rollo Jackson's urgent visual style fits the material like a glove.

Jamelia provides the soundtrack to Very.co.uk's summer commercial, which takes place on the white sands of Flamingo Beach, no less. As 'Superstar' whisks a chunk of the audience back to 2003, adults and children alike sports clothes that can be bought now and paid for later. We'd be interested to know how much a direct flight to Flamingo Beach costs this summer.

This has a bit more pep than your average detergent commercial. Curly-haired protagonist Shauna likes shortcuts—it's why she mastered the tablecloth pull trick and wears boilersuits that can be removed in one go. She also likes short cycles done with Surf Magnifi-scent Wash (geddit?), so everyone around her gets a floral burst sooner rather than later.

This immensely moving track and promo is A J Tracey's tribute to his mother, who, in a podcast he recorded with Paloma Faith, he described as his favourite person. The promo is also a fundraiser for Maggie's - a charity that provides support for those with cancer, and there is an explicit message at the end of the film which makes clear this connection.

This is a very interesting piece of communication from Meta about the confidentiality of WhatsApp. The mission, we would guess, is to counter the appeal of apps like Telegram and Signal that have been much more successful at conveying the idea that they are protecting users from prying eyes. This ad, directed by Mark Molloy, redresses this imbalance with considerable conviction, as it really grabs your attention.

Why do men think about the Roman Empire? Because of films like 'Gladiator II' and commercials like this one for Invesco. Before he delivers the usual thumbs up or thumbs down, Caesar looks at whether a gladiator’s popular on social media or not. If he can think outside the box, so can potential investors… though the brand urges viewers to read a hefty amount of small print first.

One of three quirky Invesco ads directed by Andreas Nilsson, this instalment takes viewers to the Old West. The man at the front of a wagon train seems to know the plains better than he knows himself—it also helps to have satellite navigation technology before anyone else. He invested well, and the brand aims to help those not on the Oregon Trail do the same.

Part two of this well-staged SAP campaign has Christoph Waltz muse about growth. How much is too much, do you reckon? When plants, trees, and vines consume your office à la 'Jumanji'? It gets worse before it gets better for the protagonist, as the consequences of growth rain down on him. Thanks to the advertised software company's AI flunkey, he can see the wood for the trees.

With Andreas Nilsson's third spot for Invesco, viewers get a tongue-in-cheek dollop of Greek mythology. As the Greeks laugh it up inside a wooden horse, the Trojans scan it with a high-tech device beyond Homer's wildest dreams. A shrewd investment, for sure, though the brand is careful to warn viewers there are no guarantees in the modern age.

Christoph Waltz narrates a slant-tastic commercial for German software company SAP, who aims to help people innovate when the world is against them. Take director Adam Berg's protagonist—a car designer who thinks she’s made a breakthrough, only for her office to tilt up like the business end of a seesaw. As colleagues, furniture, and stationary slide down the slope, she resolves to walk up it.

It's grim by the pool in this breezy commercial for ready-made cocktail brand On The Rocks. No one has any fun here—they just lie back and move a leg at the exact same time as each other like Stepford holidaymakers. Worse still, they crack open identical cans of beer that drain even more colour from the scene. This is not what the woman next to them signed up for.

While the men's team are locked into entitlement and consequent hurt feelings because other international teams refuse to stand aside and let them win a tournament, England's women footballers are riding high as they get ready to defend the title they won three years ago, and this sparky history lesson tunes in to their status as upstarts refusing to go along with the narrative of tragic failure.

One of DAVID's favourite books in recent times is 'Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump' by Rick Reilly. As well as a compulsive liar and cheater, Donald Trump is revealed to be part man, part golf cart. The president never, ever walks, even on the courses he owns that have banned them. If Tesla made golf carts, Elon Musk would get the Medal of Freedom.

When Chris Davids, one half of electronic music duo Maribou State, revealed he'd been diagnosed with a Chiari malformation, where the lower part of the brain pushes down into the spinal canal, fans braced themselves for the worst. Not only has he recovered, however, Davids and Liam Ivory released Maribou State's third studio album, 'Hallucinating Love' in January 2025.

Not to be confused with 'Ooh La La' by Goldfrapp, 'Ooh La La' by Jessie Ware, or any number of songs with that title (the list goes on and on), 'Oh Lala' by Justine Skye and producer Kaytranada wants to make you sweat. There are shades of 'Flesh Tone'-era Kelis to the track, which uses synths laced with vitamin D and a four-on-the-floor beat meant to drag you from the bar.

Damson Idris is a handsome man, just the kind of guy Tommy Hilfiger likes to model its wares. To promote the release of 'F1'—a film about Formula One, if you can believe it—Idris wears clothes emblazoned with the APXGP logo, blurring the lines between reality and faction. No sign of 'F1' co-star Brad Pitt, as that would be too much handsome for a 30" spot.

ASAP Rocky directs and stars in a Puma commercial that feels like cops and robbers after a four-pack of energy drinks. Rocky's mixed-media caper has thieves target owners of Inhale and Mostro sneakers, then bid to flood the market with cheap knock-offs. You need to be sharp as nails to put one over Rocky, however, as he reminds kids not to pursue a life of crime.

Do cars have souls? Of course they do—Disney and Pixar released a trilogy of documentaries about it. Now that's sorted, BMW claim that the iX and iX M70 deliver "sheer driving pleasure". The ad struggles to convey any sort of delight, though we do get a whiff of self-satisfaction from the cast. It looks the part, but the German brand must do more to stir the soul.

Bryan Robson put in a cameo in this ad for Adidas who, despite Manchester United's poor form, are still trying to exploit their connection with the comatose giants.

There's more than a hint of 'Zoolander' to this Babymorocco promo. In fact, 'Red Eye' reimagines the scene where Derek's pals try to cheer up the despondent supermodel ("Orange mocha Frappuccino!"). No one dies in a freak gasoline fight accident, but there's still plenty of fun to be had in Patrik Harkin's music video, as Babymorocco/Clayton Pettet wakes up alone after a one-night stand.
