Over the past ten years, we have all seen numerous advertisements good and bad, innovative and uninspiring. One commercial in particular that we at Tattoo thought was one of the best of the decade was the Honda “Cog ad. The advert first launched in 2003 to promote Honda’s 7th generation Accords. Its interesting to know that during the production of the commercial, only limited amount of CGI was used. The mechanical sequence of the advert was put together precise positioning of the car parts.
As the year comes to an end, we like to think about the year in review. But, how often do we think about the freaky and creepy side of advertising? Well Adfreak.com is doing the thinking for us, and have compiled a list of the freakiest commercials of 2009 (with videos). These are some of the most controversial ads of the year, but at the same time the most creative and powerful. So have a Peek at the Freakiest Commercials of the Year.

Gotta love Diablo Cody, who took Best Original Screenplay at the Oscars last night. It was the former exotic dancer’s first time at the Oscars — as she waltzed in and took home the hardware for her screenplay, “Juno”. I know that everyone raved about the movie’s fast-paced, witty dialog. But it felt like Napoleon Dynamite on girl steroids, and certainly took awhile for it to grow on me. (My favorite Junoism: “Do me a solid.”) Anyway, you’ve gotta love Diablo Cody for her colorful creativity, and for being able to pack in such sheer volume of aphorisms into such a short window of time. Read more about this crazy chick here.
