Ivorian footballer Didier Drogba travels around the world to hunt for epic foods, but “unhappy” to find that Argentinian football star Lionel Messi is always ahead of his gourmet adventure. A humorous advertisement by Turkish Airlines.
Destinations include Turkey, Nepal, Japan, Siberia and Sahara. The last part of the video shows the company’s acclaimed in-flight meals while seemingly on the way to The Americas (which oddly don’t have any featured food in the commercial).

Video of Anne Hathaway performing Miley Cyrus’s Wrecking Ball on Lip Sync Battle – a musical reality competition show which pits celebrities against each other in lip sync performances.
This performance was from the third episode last April, which also featured Emily Blunt. I watched the preview video back then, which was fun; but this full version is simply awesome in a satirical way.
Blunt’s reaction is extra bonus. The duo was co-stars in The Devil Wears Prada in 2006; it was Blunt’s breakthrough film which boosted Hathaway’s career too. The two also became good friends since.

American commercial series for Japanese car brand Subaru. The ad campaign features The Barkleys, a dog family doing human things with a tad of humour.
Simple human activities can look fun when you have adorable pets, anime characters or other cute things doing that. It’s a timeless marketing ploy.

Famous Japanese competitive eater Takeru Kobayashi goes undercover at Buffalo Wild Wings as he pranks the New York Cosmos (soccer club) and midfielder Peri Marošević into a chicken wings eating contest. Nice one for April Fools.

Dance practise video by Korean girl group Crayon Pop for their latest single Bar Bar Bar. Average song, but the fun & wacky choreo deserves a mention.
