To promote his new line of coffee, David Lynch brings the crazy in this extended commercial. The ‘Twin Peaks’ director is seen extolling the virtues of his organic brew to Barbie while he creepily cradles her head.
Mr. Lynch is also considerate enough to supply Barbie’s dialogue — since she is a doll and all. And did we mention Lynch is totally batshit?
Do you like espresso? Well probably not as much as Vincent Lammers, who is responsible for the brilliant animated short Hello, I Like Espresso.
It shows all the different ways of enjoying your shot to the heart — from the familiar ‘doppio’ to the underappreciated ‘flat white’.
Which one gets you going?

Death Wish Coffee [seriously?] wants you to know that they make the world’s strongest coffee. As evidenced by their stark black website and ill-advised use of a skull and crossbones to promote a food product, the company appears to mean business.
Using red type to imply danger, Death Wish boasts 200% more caffeine than your average coffee shop coffee, and warns that, ‘You will not find this coffee at your local diner or at your sissy Starbucks.” They even give a bit of unwarranted and occasionally misspelled coffee education — waxing poetic on the virtues of their Robusta beans, opposed to the typical Arabica.
The site also provides a few testimonials from some of the more refined coffee drinkers in the land. John Downey from Santa Barbara writes, “This coffee should be illegal. Thanks!” Well John, perhaps after the first Ed Hardy wearing Death Wish drinker’s heart explodes, it will be.
