‘Elevator’ HBO Go - BBDO NY
The thing I like most about this campaign is that the agency has picked up on the fact that laugh at stuff that they can relate to just as much as the over-the-top bizarre spots that can either be hit or miss.

My favorite recent campaign from BBDO. It’s so funny and every execution is great, which is of course why Communication Arts recognized these ads.
CP+B called, they want their ad back.
They even got a character going with a very similar look. Why? They could have at least done the same thing but better. That oddball loser character works for the grocery store checkout but it’s not the only way to be funny. I just don’t see it working for Starbucks because this guy is not the kind of person who would buy their coffee anyway. Even an exaggerated character needs to fit the setting. Not that Starbucks ads are exactly known for their originality anyway.

Had to laugh! One of the many ads that made it onto the Cannes Lions 2011 Film Shortlist.
