Telenor – 'The Chameleon' (Starts at 00:06) – Norway

Sopranos actor and member of Bruce Springsteen's E-Street band Steven van Zandt trades on his reputation as a cult hero in Norway in this ad for a telecoms company. Playing 'The Chameleon', van Zandt is the man of a thousand faces (well, three) and gets to do a Jerry Lewis impersonation. At two minutes, it could probably do with being slimmed down a bit – much like its star.Agency: Green Cave PeopleDirector: Andreas Nilsson

Haribo – 'Inner Child' (Starts at 02:09) – UK

You have to get past the world's most annoying jingle to appreciate this ad, but it's worth it. Getting sensible-looking adults to mouth the words of babes proves a perfect comedy vehicle and makes the silly things children say sound even more charming.Agency: Quiet StormDirector: Mary-Sue Masson

KittenSoft – 'Emma' (Starts at 02:43) – France

This Irish adaptation of a French ad from last year introduces us to a man who pesters his wife whenever she uses paper instead of the computer tablet he reveres. He's such a horrible bloke that his comeuppance when sat paperless on the loo is very satisfying … though we were left hoping that he's reduced to plucking out shards of glass from his backside after belligerently attempting what his wife suggests.Agency: Leo Burnett (Paris)Director: Bart Timmer

International HIV/AIDS Alliance – 'Come Together' (Starts at 03:17) – UK

This spot promoting safe sex for the International HIV/AIDS Alliance gets your attention and doesn't let go. Raunchy and in-your-face, it features a selection of people getting intimate in a whole variety of ways to the rhythm of a saucy tango. The aim is to remind us all that HIV is still around and that it's more important than ever to protect ourselves – but that's no reason to be inhibited.Agency: BluefrogDirector: Gregg MasuakJason Stone is the editor of David Reviews
