Those of you who thought BBH London's new KFC commercial was a little too damn heartwarming, have a look at this—British comedian Peter Serafinowicz's attempt at a KFC spot. It is quite hypnotic, and will certainly be helpful for anyone struggling to carve and serve a chicken—just cut with a sharp motion, use fork to detach leg from body, sever using fork, and place on plate! KFC does most of that for you, of course, so the chain will likely decline to buy and air Serafinowicz's commercial. Shame. It really is "So good." Check out more of Serafinowicz's work on his website. Via A.V. Club.

Summer is all about going big. In Denver, you've got the supersized fire hydrants, newspaper boxes and sidewalk benches reminding you what a water-wasting wanker you can be. Now, in Houston and Chicago, you have oversize items that are a little more fun, thanks to Target stores. In Houston, where it's been beastly hot since about March, Target has set up a giant sprinkler to bring huge relief to the masses. In Chicago, they've built an enormous turtle sandbox. The installations are part of Target's "Make Summer Funner" campaign. 

Following high-speed skids through car-shaped gaps in thick (supposedly) concrete walls, BMW Canada presents more insane stunt driving to promote its 1 Series M Coupe. Now, the brand wants to flip the bird at mortality by spinning doughnuts on the world's highest rooftop helipad. The only problem: It's not clear that the feat is actually real. Ad agency Cundari's chief creative officer, Brent Choi, tells AdFreak: "I can tell you that the intent right from the beginning was to create videos that were so amazing, people had to debate how we did it." He then referred us to the client, who has yet to reply. Choi sheds some light on the driver, who worked on movies like The Fast and the Furious and The Bourne Identity. Odds seem decent that both videos aren't quite what they appear—and therefore much less death-defying and much less insane.
