Creative Awards: Laurels and Hearty Laughs

Male bonding takes center stage at The One Show Men unplugged seem to be a recurring theme in many of the gold-pencil winning ads at the One Show last week. Judges honored slightly more than 100 of the record 15,400 entrants in this year's competition. Fallon McElligott, New York, took best of show with deadpan ads for Fox's FX Network that show "what guys are really thinking." One ad features a man singing the national anthem: "Oh sex sports beer breasts hot sex footfall Swedish twins." Combined, Fallon's Minneapolis, New York and London locations won 15 pencils, including six golds for clients such as the U.S. Tennis Association and Sports Illustrated. Wieden & Kennedy claimed 10 pencils, including three golds, one for "The Morning After" for Nike and two for Miller High Life ads. Nine pencils went to Cliff Freeman and Partners, including two golds for ads showing Budget's extreme brainstorming sessions. Crispin Porter & Bogusky, Miami, won six pencils, including two golds for Florida Tobacco Pilot Program PSAs. DDB Chicago took two golds--for Anheuser-Busch's "Whassup" TV spots and the "Heros" radio work. Overseas winners included South African agency TBWA Hunt Lascaris, which garnered four awards. Three pencils went to Saatchi & Saatchi, London, and Saatchi & Saatchi, Singapore, which also won two golds for a Toyota ad "For overprotective parents" showing a baby clothed in bubble wrap.
