This impressive film for Powerade from director Jackson Tisi captures the highs and lows of the journey towards greatness on the basketball court. Starting with a very young player, we bear witness to the extraordinary dedication required to make it to the top of the ladder.

This ad for On featuring Zendaya is absolutely nuts... in a good way. The film star looks like she's having the time of her life in a series of vignettes set in outer space. For legal reasons, DAVID feels absolutely sure that she is not portraying a Vulcan in these wacky adventures, but her character is certainly Vulcan adjacent.

According to this Swedish commercial for Telia (and Apple), it's "not Telia" to release a killer bear on a film set when the actor has no way of protecting himself from the anticipated savagery. But it is Telia to be able to film said ursine menace in beautiful cinematic slow motion using one of the latest mobile phones from Apple.

This over-the-top commercial for Ring Magazine kills two birds with one mixed-media stone. Not only does it stoke anticipation for Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn on 26 April, but it also promotes 'Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves', the twelfth entry in SNK's hallowed fighting game series. Confused? Not after you have a look at DAVID's conspiracy board.

As Birmingham struggles with a rat infestation of epic proportions, Xbox accidentally rubs salt in the wound with a commercial about human-sized rats. Protagonist Horatio (geddit?) is stuck in an all-too-familiar rut: wake up, work, eat, sleep, repeat. He's got a running wheel in his apartment, mind you, but it only just gets the rodent's heart pumping.

This is a very clever way of illustrating the breadth of content available on Britbox, currently the poor cousin of streaming services.
