Once again proving it's not just a show for kids, Sesame Street spoofs the wildly popular Old Spice ad.
Grover preaches the importance of smelling like a monster and of using the word "on" correctly in the parody of the "Man Your Man Could Smell Like" ad featuring Isaiah Mustafa.

Have you noticed that news is becoming Info-Porn? With multitudes of titles, it comes in many shapes and sizes — but you know it when you see it.
Follow the formula and the content doesn't seem to matter. It starts with a lackluster establishing shot, followed by a walking and talking preamble. Next various facts will pop on the screen as if you're watching a bad PowerPoint presentation … We are exposed to a seemingly endless variety of sameness.
For a funny take on this, watch Charlie Brooker's – How To Report The News from the BBC. I thought this short video was well-done and quite clever.
Have fun.

It comes from an award-winning ad series created for a Portuguese news magazine, Grande Reportagem, known for its photo-journalism and investigative reporting.
Here are a few examples.
Interesting and thought provoking.
