Tim Tollefson is less than human in this Craft Sportswear commercial. Not in a serial killer kind of way—the physiotherapist and trail runner's been made to look like a caveman, that's all. As the sun rises over the Mediterranean, a Stone Aged Tollefson sets off like a hairy man born to run, even if he's not the most aerodynamic.

Lola Young's in the ascendancy thanks to songs like 'Messy' and 'One Thing'. The former went viral in 2024 with its raw, relatable lyrics ("I’m not skinny and I pull a Britney every other week/But cut me some slack, who do you want me to be?), while the latter is horny as all hell ("Nobody will ever know, we can put on our own little show/Save that big-dick energy for my mouth, yeah".

Why have one Jason Alexander when you can have six? The 'Seinfeld' actor plays every character in this Mike's Amazing spot, and it's hard to get a word in edgeways. He’s signed up to an anger management course, but Dr Grant (DAVID hopes and prays it's a nod to his 'Dunston Checks In' character) is more interested in mayonnaise than family friction. Therapy's hungry work, you know.

As the Golden State Valkyries make their long-awaited WNBA debut, this commercial celebrates all the firsts that happen in and around San Francisco. First steps, first kisses, first time driving a car… now the city's invited to witness the "first of a lifetime" in women's basketball. Players have the cavernous Chase Center all to themselves, but not for much longer.

Spanish fashion giant Mango wants Kaia Gerber to be "a dissident representative of Gen Z" in its new campaign. She has no idea what that means. Does the brand know what that means? Mango is self-aware enough to let Rubberband (Jason Sondock and Simon Davis) poke fun at pretentious, ill-defined fashion films, encapsulated in a photoshoot where Gerber's asked to "move forward but lean back".

Fifteen seconds, one chunk—that's all Cadbury needs to promote its Dairy Milk brand. It delivers the performance of a lifetime, melting in slow motion like it's meant to against a none more purple background. "It could only be Cadbury Dairy Milk," purrs the narrator, smooth as the coating on a piece of chocolate. Short but sweet work that goes back to basics.

This pair of commercials for Hyundai made for the Australian market have been extremely well executed by Alex Roberts of FINCH but the proposition is a little shaky. In reality, there is nothing about the advertised car that makes it stand out from the crowd, and this conceit should probably have been reserved for one that does. As a consequence, it's very hard to imagine that this will move the needle when it comes to car sales... it's fun though.

A very simple conceit has been delivered with astonishing skill by Louis McCourt of Lovw Song in this captivating commercial for the posh-people delivery service Ocado from Uncommon. Running the action backwards enables a reminder that every great summer spread starts with food that needs to be prepared, and the better the quality of that food, the better the spread.

This Amazon Business commercial has more Ps in it than a Birds Eye factory. Directed by Traktor, the ad turns Peter Piper, the one who picked a peck of pickled peppers, into an entrepreneur like Bo Peep. "Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?" you ask. In jars labelled 'Peter's Piping Hot Peppers', ready to blow people's socks off.

Basketball player-turned-actor Dalibor Micic stars in the promo for Didi Han's 'Youth'. Micic may not be a big name, but he is a big man—all 7'4" of him. He plays the most conspicuous hitchhiker in the whole of France, but no one has the time of day for him... or the legroom, for that matter. Somehow, someway, he squeezes into a car with five other people.

This US Navy commercial is all about those prepared to step up to the plate. Take the young man who runs after a thief, or the woman who swims to the rescue without a moment's thought. Then there's the high school quarterback who takes responsibility in the fourth quarter. They excel in the spotlight, but America's navy wants to know if they can do it in the shadows.

Even Dorothy Gale from 'The Wizard of Oz' has bills to pay. In this ad for Australian recruitment firm Seek, she works on the checkout at a supermarket. Thanks to the advertised website (we like to think its main rival is Hide), she's too distracted to notice the queue that's formed, but who can blame her when "the yellow brick road to success" beckons?

To get the most out of this Starbucks ad, you need to like both Seth Meyers (host of 'Late Night with Seth Meyers') and 70s/80s supergroup Legends of Classic Rock. The band performs a cover of 'Eye of the Tiger' that gees Meyers up before the show—survive it and you can celebrate with a can of Starbucks Iced Energy. '30 Rock' fans will appreciate a late cameo by John Lutz.

One of three Seek commercials helmed by director Taso Alexander, this ad revolves around a fairy whose parents want her to fly the nest at long last. She likes to work with children, cash, and, er, very small teeth—wouldn't you know it, the perfect role has just appeared on the advertised website. Good thing she's read 'The Book of Teeth' from cover to cover, eh?

One of three commercials directed by Taso Alexander for Australian employment website Seek, this instalment has Tarzan—'Tarz' to his mates—apply for his dream job: king of the jungle. More flexibility, $130K a year, no lanyard… Tarzan's inner feral child would be so proud. It also means he never has to worry about a dress code ever again (or learn what it means in the first place).

If Dr Lucien Sanchez is a One Track Lover, then Carter Vail is a Life Hack Lover. Ready to give up on a dirty pan? Use a piece of burnt toast on it. Got a splinter? Cover it with a banana peel. Hair loss got you down? Pour soy sauce over your head. The latter prompts one of our favourite lyrics of the series: "Now I smell like sushi, but Mentos fresh and full of life!"

This one goes out to the soup dunkers of Dover, the sandwich stackers of Stockport, the picnic packers of Poole, the cheese toastie crunchers of Crewe, and the fish finger fans of Fife—oh, and Steven, who still removes the crusts from his bread. However customers choose to eat its products, Jacksons of Yorkshire promises to deliver the best loaves possible by bike.

Every comedian worth their salt has a bit about taxi drivers, and Carter Vail—artist-in-residence at Mentos—is no exception. The American's latest track is 'Ride Overshare', in which we learn all about Vail's driver's life story ("He's never been to Tuscon, but he really likes spaghetti"). The brand would spare passengers from such a fate if it could, but mints are what it does best.

No directory of fake businesses would be complete with Mo's Mulch & Mow. The latest in a series of 'Monster To-Do List' ads for Progressive, it centres around a landscape gardener pestered by a monster made of Post-it notes (our favourite reminder is "reapply sunscreen"). However, a quick commercial insurance quote makes the beast easier to tame with a leaf blower.

This startlingly original commercial for Revolut riffs on the idea that the advertised financial company is doing extraordinary things with our money even as we imagine it sitting idle in our accounts. When a young woman reaches into her pocket to seek out her debit card to pay for a coffee, she drops into a woolly landscape where she embarks on a surreal journey showing her some of what the company is doing.

The Cannes Film Festival and Tik Tok may be at different ends of the cultural spectrum, but they are brought together as the former seeks to tap into the reach of the latter by actively encouraging cinemagoers to pay attention to the amateur reviews to be found there. In this entertaining illustration of this unholy union, Tim Bullock has created a note perfect parody of a typical scene from a film being exhibited in Cannes.

In the latest commercial for Andrex in its campaign to de-stigmatise having a poo, a schoolboy turns this seemingly embarrassing human function into a flex, and his fellow pupils cannot help but be impressed. This is doing for toilet paper what the long-running AMV campaign has done for feminine hygiene products, and DAVID hopes that Andrex's bottom line (if you'll forgive the pun) has benefited from its boldness.

DAVID might not believe in ghosts, but he does believe in ghost signs. These are old, hand-painted advertisements which have been preserved on a building longer than the firms they represent. Most went out of business years ago, but not Hovis. In the brand's first ad for some time, it commemorates the ghost signs found in places like Stockport and Preston.

Here's two ads in one from director Carl Sundemo, who uses split screen and clever set design to promote AirBnb andHotels Tonight. When viewers book hotels through the latter, they earn credit with the former to spend on homestays. Sundemo's ad makes the process look seamless, though Spain might be too big a leap for the protagonist.

Directed by Jessie Zinn and lensed by Josh Levi, this elegant Sonneglas commercial takes full advantage of the golden hour, the time just after sunset and right before sunrise. Zinn and her crew flit between South Africa and Eswatini to capture light many us of take for granted, before the brand makes it presence known through solar lights that complement the vibe.

This William Hill Vegas commercial gets the drop on us, so to speak. To promote the online casino's new Bonus Drop Boost, a crane releases a humongous stamp onto a gold coin (the Royal Mint could learn a thing or two from this). Said bit then tumbles down what looks like an infinite coin pusher—whether it ever reaches the bottom or not is up for punters to discover.

He's a man in progress, but still confident enough to step behind the camera.

Brothers Olly, Josh, and Max Kohn star in a bang-on commercial for Jolly Hog, the brand they founded in 2009. The three live and breathe sausages, so when a woman asks how they get them so tasty, the Kohns talk until the pigs come home. Not just at company headquarters, mind—anywhere that Olly, Josh, and Max happen to be.
