Only rule breakers will fully enjoy this ad

How do you get teens to notice your ad? Try telling them not to watch.


A new U.K. TV spot by juice drink Vimto starts by telling viewers that the ad works best if they close their eyes and relax–but if they disobey, they are rewarded with some quirky goings-on. After the intial blank screen and message, those who keep their eyes open see a series of messages starting with “You little rascal…I like you,” and showing them a series of internet-friendly funny clips, including weird dancing, a freaky eyelid trip and a man with a dog and a cellophane-wrapped armchair.


“Boring drinks work for some but you deserve something refreshingly different,” it concludes on screen–while all the person who obediently shuts their eyes will hear is relaxing music.


The spot is the first work for the brand by agency Quiet Storm (whose other work includes the international Haribo campaign). The new strategy is based on the insight that Vimto’s target audience feel under pressure to be something they’re not, when all they really want is to be recognized and accepted for the individuals they are.


Trevor Robinson, founder and executive creative director of Quiet Storm, and Matt Mifsud, creative director, say in a statement: “Not every client would trust their agency to launch a campaign telling the audience not to watch or to click, so big up to Vimto for living their brand value of being refreshingly different. Inclusivity and fun don’t have to be mutually exclusive, so it’s great to be able to reintroduce some levity while also promoting and celebrating self-acceptance, individuality and that says it’s OK to be you.”

Nothing is worse than being the butt of someone’s joke… unless, of course, you like that sort of thing, which might also make you that special person who enjoys making your own friends feel stupid for simply existing. Well, maybe not that vicious, but it does take a certain kind of person to be the one who pranks others. For the funny zodiac signs, they don’t mind making jokes at someone else’s expense. And according to astrology, there are certain signs who take pride in being jokesters. Whether or not you follow horoscopes, there is a thing called  schadenfreude , which means to take joy in the pain or humiliation of others. For some, this is a form of entertainment. Practical jokes and practical jokers are both wanted and unwanted. Why som

Scaptia beyonceae . Crikey steveirwini . These are the scientific names of just a few of the nearly 25,000 species of plants, animals, fungi and micro-organisms discovered and named in Australia in the past decade. In each case, the honoured celebrity’s name is Latinised and added to the name of an existing or new genus – a set of closely related species that share common characteristics. In the above examples, Microleo (meaning “tiny lion”) is a genus of extinct carnivorous possums, while Scaptia is a genus of colourful horseflies. And in the case of Crikey steveirwini , a rare snail from northern Queensland, even the genus name honours Irwin, in the form of his favoured colloquialism. Read more: It’s

The Onion"s chief: Nothing funny about taking away kids from parents

Image
Over the past 20 years, Chad Nackers has seen the rise of hypocritical statements, those irony-free assertions in which the entire universe yells, “That sounds like a headline from ‘The Onion’” — but isn’t. The Onion’s editor-in-chief has always tried to mix the straight yuks with the knowing punch of satire, a similar challenge to the nation’s editorial cartoonists. “We haven’t really changed anything we do,” Nackers said in an interview Monday, “but the world has been much crazier and absurd, and that’s what people should be worried about.” Like Rob Rogers, the well-respected Pittsburgh Post-Gazette cartoonist fired after criticizing Trump, Nackers sees little humor  in the Trump administration’s separation of children from their parents along the border. (Editors’ note: The Monday afternoon effort just hurts ). “There’s nothing funny about what’s going on,” Nackers says. For The Onion, that means “it’s a satirical commentary on things, rather than ‘let’s laugh about it.’” One of its
