It's the end of the world which is a shame, I get paid tomorrow.

Have you, like me, had to put up with a spree of apocalyptic tweets this week? Have you, like me, had to tell people that it wasn't meant to happen on the 12th of December but actually the 21st and could people please use that extra time to think of something funnier to say? Have you, like me, spent the last few minutes of an otherwise unproductive Thursday searching through YouTube for the best 'end of the world' adverts out there in order to write a mildly amusing blog on the matter?

If the answer to final question is no, then good. This will be nice for you. If you answered yes then let's share links and become a big blogging family. There's only a day left, what's the worst that could happen?




CHEVY SILVERADO

This ad aired during the Super Bowl and shows that a Chevrolet truck can survive asteroids, alien invasions and volcanic eruptions whereas a Ford cannot. It did not, however, mention the enormous fuel consumption of a Chevy truck which, unlike the Mayan calendar, is something that might actually cause the world to end due to the inevitable doom of global warming. Bloody Americans.

BUDWEISER

I'm not so sure this ad is really about the apocalypse. It might just be a clever ploy to show off how fast Budweiser sponsored cars can go and a window of fame for whoever the driver is. Either way it's a load of crap and if the world did end tomorrow it would serve whoever made this right. True, true.

BRITISH AIRWAYS

Ha, this guy woke up and there was no-one else anywhere because they'd all gone to Rio for a bargain price on British Airways. What an idiot he must feel. Surely he would have seen his wife packing and she obviously doesn't love him enough to have invited him on her holiday. Harsh. Also why did the fish go to Rio? They would have to be in little bags and the changes of pressure during the flight would likely have made their tiny brains pop. Sad.

LYNX

Every single bit of Lynx advertising is created to make you think that even if you're really unattractive women will fancy you if you use a certain brand of deodorant. This is obviously bollocks as whenever I use Lynx I just find myself smelling nice as I spend another night alone weeping into my pillow. Still, I like this commercial because it's funny and the man is clearly a highly skilled carpenter. I wonder if he'd build me some shelves? 

And finally...

THE NATIONAL ORGANISATION FOR MARRIAGE

There's a storm coming, guys. It may as well be the end of the world if gay people can invade our lives, am I right? Who's with me? Come on, let's show those fat cats at Whitehall what we think of their accepting attitude towards other lifestyles. How dare they?!?
