Adweek has run a piece on the “Freakiest Ads of 2011”.
You should jump over their site to check them out, but I have linked to the two Smokes & Booze worthy ones here -
Number 6 – Coors Light with Jean Claude Van Damme
What is up with the Muscles from Brussels? His pants froze? WTF does that have to do with beer?

Number 5 – Suntory “Rickey”
Suntory is no stranger to us here at S&B, from the Yamzaki Single Malt review (with the Bill Murray commercial) to the Suntory Gin Ad (scroll down) – They love their commercials.
This one on the other hand will give me nightmares. Mix booze with the Stepford Wives and you have this.

Yeah, that mullet scares the shit out of me. (How did that add get past the focus group?)
