An interspecies orgy and suicidal eggs

Orangina

We're more of a design gang than an advertising one here at We Made This, but occasionally something comes along that really catches our eye. Recently there have been two of those things.

First up, it's one for the furries, with the Orangina Naturally Juicy advert that aired in France a couple of months ago, which has been doing the rounds of the blogs (we picked it up via the excellent Very Short List). The concept is from ad agency FFL Paris, and it's directed by Psyop (Todd Mueller and Kylie Matulick), through London production company Stink. You can read more about it on this page from The Mill, where a lot of the work was done.

Goo

Secondly, a series of ads from Publicis for Cadbury's Creme Eggs as part of their Goo-ology campaign. (Use the pull down blind to get the menu and navigate to the Fantasies section.) They're genuinely funny (our favourite is Bin Lid), and a vast improvement on that irritating parrot they used to use.

Sex and death. Animals and eggs. All very natural really.
