The online campaign comes complete with a series of talking and singing food web ads to get you to forget the leftovers and head on over to Outback instead.

Below are the "Mystery Mashed Potatoes" and "Slab of Slimy Ham" which is an outtakes reel of talking food bloopers. spots for your viewing pleasure, or you could run to Outback!

Holidays come and go, and then you're stuck with leftovers. Crusty, Fuzzy, Icky, Slimy Leftovers--and those are the ones you can recognize.

Take a break from holiday leftovers this season, and head into Outback Steakhouse for a delicious topped steak instead.



"The outtakes reel -- some say there is no higher form of cinema. Just like some say there is no lower form of food than the holiday leftover. As a charter member of the past-their-prime portion club myself, I disagree.

But if you just can't spend another night with your old friend Slab of Slimy Ham, then go ahead into Outback Steakhouse for a real meal. I'll be fine. Really. No, I'm not crying..." -- Slab of Slimy Ham.

Santa Talks To Kids Via A Magical Payphone

Beautiful new campaign for Orelhão Mágico keeps the spirit of Santa Claus alive for a some lucky children in Brazil who came across this Magic Payphone.

Oi, a telecom provider from Brazil, is hoping to make everyone believe in the magic of Christmas one more time. That’s why it created the Magical Payphone, a device that connected kids with Santa Claus. Installed in Rio de Janeiro, the special payphone was available to kids walking by with their parents. Once they made the call, the kids would chat with Santa, who were actually two retired actors from Retiro dos Artistas (an institution that takes care of former artists). But it was much more than a telephone call. Big surprises were prepared for the kids: lost elf's, gifts and even a mapped projection with snow and a choir of kids. Everything to make a great experience for the children and everyone watching.

WestJet Surprise Christmas Flash Mob

Maybe we've seen enough Flash Mob campaigns to make us want to stab our eyes out with dull pencils dipped in melted Skittles, but just one more and I promise this one is good.



WestJet Airlines flash-mobbed an airport lounge-full of late-night travelers at Calgary International Airport with carols, Santa, elves and, from the looks of it, a bit of a giveaway. The red eye to Toronto has probably never been so sparkly.

WestJet says it will donate flights to “a family in need” once the video reaches 25,000 views which it did very easily already.

The Turkey Whisperer for a Paxo Christmas

Paxo has cherished Christmas for over 100 years, and is looking forward to helping everyone celebrate this festive season yet again. The advert features one Thomas Vasey of the Vasey Turkey Farm, who takes advantage of the genuine phenomenon that when you shout at a flock of turkeys they answer you.

So, with the help of McCann London, they’ve created a darkly funny online commercial where even turkeys can’t wait to be stuffed with Paxo at Christmas.
The film, directed by Steve Reeves at Another Film Company, was shot for real on a genuine free range turkey farm and uses the hilarious phenomenon where if you shout at a flock of turkeys, they will answer you in a volley of gobbles.
In the ad, a Paxo representative disguised as a turkey stands up in front of a barn full of the birds and addresses them like a political leader at a rally. And with his masterful oration skills, he manages to convince them to vote for Christmas.
Everyone’s looking forward to a Paxo Christmas. Everyone.

‘The Turkey Whisperer’ will run online and though social media channels from December 3rd.

Javier Gomez, Art Director at McCann London, said: “I have been fascinated by turkeys and their gobbling for years.”

The JCPenny Ellen DeGeneres Christmas Ad One Million Moms Hates

Ellen DeGeneres spends a few minutes with three Christmas Elves in a new JC Penny commercial. No big deal right? Oh but wait, The One Million Moms got all up in arms again.

Joe.My.God posted the official statement by One Million Moms about the ad (below) I've watched this 20 times, maybe I'm stupid but what in the world are they upset about, oh wait Ellen is gay. Shame on you OMM!!

"Since April, JC Penney's has not aired Ellen DeGeneres in one of their commercials until now. A new JCP ad features Ellen and three elves. JCP has made their choice to offend a huge majority of their customers again. Christians must now vote with their wallets. We have contacted JC Penney's several times in the past with our concerns, and they will not listen. They have decided to ignore our complaints so we will avoid them at all costs."
