Monday Funday: get the laundry on

Ask Twice

This ad from health campaign Time to Change tackles the stigma surrounding mental health issues through some subtle humour … and a talking northern squirrel. You know, the obvious way. 

Watch as one guy – whilst trapped under a tree – tries to make out “he’s fine”. It’s an important topic, which the sport simultaneously approaches in both a light-hearted and serious way.

Takeaways from this ad? To always ask twice – and stay out of the woods.

Laundry day

Recognise this guy? The nudey one? That’s right, it’s Rodin’s ‘The Thinker’ – one of the most celebrated sculptures of all time. For centuries, it’s been the western representative of the free-thinking philosopher. Until now.

Samsung’s clever ‘Modern Masterpieces’ campaign has revoked such a status, by plonking the sculpture in the middle of London beside a washing machine. The stunt nicely reiterates the campaign’s tagline: ‘built to last’. 

Was ‘The Thinker’ contemplating the meaning of life? Or was he simply deciding which cycle to use? Check out this neat campaign video and decide for yourself.
