Battle Of The Awesome Non-Sequitur Adverthings

Both of the following are advertisements, kind of. Both don’t make much sense. Regardless, both are AWESOME.

Without further ado, for your consideration:

A Glass And A Half

A new ad campaign from Cadbury that has almost nothing to do with delicious chocolate. Features the music of Phil Collins. If that wasn’t enough, after you’re done watching the video, read the transcript.

UNIQLOCK

A flash clock application from UNIQLO that has almost nothing to do with hip japanese clothing. Features the music from Fantastic Plastic Machine. If that wasn’t enough, after you’re done getting entranced by it, partake in the UNIQLOCK BLOG PARTS™.

I Love Cat And Girl

If you’re not reading C&G every day, something is wrong with you.

This one is now up on my wall at work, along with a one-off and The Golden Age Of Diminishing Returns, both from Diesel Sweeties.

I am a firm believer of putting up comics other than Dilbert in my workspace.

The King Of Kong

Few associate them with kill screens, an arcade in New Hampshire, and an electronic ape. (Call it the Moore/Gore effect.)

I had the chance on Friday to see *[The King Of Kong: A Fistful Of Quarters](http://billyvssteve.com/)*. The story documents the history, the hysteria, and the unintentional hilarity surrounding [Twin Galaxies’ Donkey Kong record](http://www.twingalaxies.com/index.aspx?c=22&pi=2&gi=3852&vi=22) and the two main players involved, Billy Mitchell and Steve Weibe.

It does hit a little close to home – and not just because of VJA and PNN. There’s a bit near the beginning with a [Funspot](http://www.funspotnh.com/) employee proudly declaring his vices:

> “I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t do drugs – I play video games. Which I think is a far superior addiction to any of those other ones!”

As soon as he finished, I knew the words that were to immediately escape Katie’s lips: “THAT IS SO YOU.” Guilty as charged.

The film is currently open in four cities, and [is rapidly widening](http://billyvssteve.com/tickets/). If you have the chance to see it, please do. It’s hard to not enjoy.
