I always appreciate ads with crazy concepts. Ads with substance more than style; ads that make you think and not just sell things; ads that propose alternate realities and not simply scream product placement. Diesel makes some pretty awesome page-droolers. It's not because of the trendy, stylish clothes or the hot, toned models. Brilliant (and oftentimes cooky) concepts for the win!
Update: A couple of the Be Stupid ads are reportedly banned in the U.K. One is a picture of a girl "flashing a surveillance camera, and another of a girl taking a picture of her naughty bits." (NY Mag)

Great ads! I've never seen them before.
TV commercials confuse me a little. So many of them depict people who use the product (whatever it is) as idiots. I end up thinking, "I wouldn't want to be associated with them"...so it makes me NOT want to use the product. Which I kind of appreciate! =)
I guess ads that off the usual mark garner more attention ... it makes us think and try to co-relate the ad with the product.
I like all the ads you posted here. Very unusual indeed but tasteful.
They do have catchy concepts don't they? I enjoy looking at their ads.
