Deutsche Telekom's Hologram Christmas Surprise with Mariah Carey. Which ads were most shared in 2011? Volkswagen: mini Darth Vader is most shared ad of 2011 Unruly Media's annual list is led by Deutsch USA's 'The Force' ad for Volkswagen, featuring a mini Darth Vader, which has racked up a massive 4.8 million shares across social networks since it hit the web. The ad was seeded online before being shown during the Super Bowl in the US, and was also shown on UK television. It has been shared in over 4.5 million Facebook updates, 170,000 tweets and just under 3,000 blog posts.
It has been viewed more than 46 million times. Sarah Wood, the founder of Unruly Media, said sharing content was now much more popular than last year: "There was a 20% increase in the number of views the top 20 attracted, to 240 million, but a fivefold increase in the number of shares they attracted to 25 million.

The car industry has sometimes been accused of using sexually provocative ads to sell cars and there are plenty of recent examples that support that accusation.
And, recently, many companies have been turning to a more tongue in cheek approach. Many decades ago there were a number of overtly sexist ads from car manufacturers which made frequent references towards the fact that women were unsafe drivers. Examples include the ad below from Goodyear. Some manufacturer's continue to create controversial ads such as this print advert from BMW below, which compare a woman to a used car. Another recent example is from Australia for the Toyota Yaris which, though hilarious, was unsurprisingly banned very quickly. In 2010, to promote the new Nissan Juke, Nissan chose to create a series of ads which compared the car model to a supermodel.
Ads involving provocative imagery are commonly for cars aimed at men. Certain car manufacturers take a tongue and cheek approach to the sex sells angle. Norte Photoblocker. Benton! Benton!

It’s hard to believe how much I hated your speech.
I hated your introduction. I hated the middle of your presentation. I hated your so-called conclusion. I hated the way you delivered your talk. And don’t even get me started on your PowerPoint slides. As hard as it is to reduce all of the reasons I hated your speech down to just seven, I‘m going to try. Here are seven reasons I hated your speech: 1. You opened your speech without doing anything to get me interested in your topic. 2. You didn’t tell me where one thought ended and another began.
As a result, I couldn’t figure out where you were and where you were leading me. 3. C’mon, now. Why didn’t you just highlight your most important points, tell me why they’re relevant, and add some memorable supporting material? 4. You had less energy than the geriatrics at the local senior home. Next time, try speaking about 15 percent louder. Moran Cerf - Moth GrandSLAM winning story - Theme: Big Breaks. Luis von Ahn: Massive-scale online collaboration. Honda Experiment. Honda: HTML5 Chain Reactions Challenge
So this is a super clever HTML5 site from Honda.
It’s called “The Experiment” and is essentially a lab where you can play with all sorts of objects in a physics-based game that challenges you to complete that chain reaction using a set of objects by placing them in the correct sequence. Each of the object interacts with those around it to create hundreds of possibilities, combinations and results in real time.
With each of the 6 levels getting harder and harder with additional objects and challenges thrown in, so get your engineering skills ready! The campaign takes you back to the “Cog” ad created for the Honda Accord, which weirdly only has 3 million YouTube views (I suspect if released today, would get 30m+), with the Cog playing a key role in solving each of the chain reaction challenges.
