Guy Fieri gets a makeover for Bosch
Beloved internet chef Guy Fieri is teaming up with power tool maker Bosch for its "Like a Bosch" campaign.

The Budweiser horses are at it again
Google tries to humanize Gemini AI
Google’s "New Home" spot centers on a mother walking her son through the empty rooms of a house she’s just purchased for them. The ad then pivots to showcase the capabilities of Gemini AI, which fills each room with furniture and objects tailored to what the boy wants.
It’s meant to be warm and aspirational, framing AI as a helpful collaborator rather than something cold or abstract — a fear that some ChatGPT users have been freaking out over.
Amazon Alexa wants to kill Chris Hemsworth
One of several ads the tech giant is rolling out, this spot stars Chris Hemsworth spiraling over just how advanced Amazon’s Alexa has become, to the point where he’s convinced it might be capable of killing him.
The premise is played entirely for laughs, with the Avengers actor dramatically preparing for the worst, including squaring up against a bear, while Alexa calmly reassures him that it harbors no ill will.

Capitalizing on the critical success of The Chair Company, HR software firm Rippling released a 30-second spot starring Tim Robinson in full spiral mode.

More vibe coding from Base44
This spot is more straightforward, depicting a group of office workers reacting in awe as an AI-powered program seemingly codes an entire app on demand. The pitch is clear: effortless creation at the push of a button.
Whether the software actually works out of the box or avoids the security and stability issues that plague most vibe coding projects remains an open question, but that uncertainty isn’t something the ad lingers on.
T-Mobile and the Backstreet Boys want to sell phone plans
Backstreet Boys are back with T-Mobile, popping up at the carrier’s Times Square store to serenade unsuspecting customers about why they should switch providers.
