These bizarre TV commercials for the South African Poultry Association, made by The Jupiter Drawing Room and directed by Bouffant’s Jono Hall, promote the idea that eating eggs will make kids smart. In these cases, disturbingly clever. Two out of the three spots featuring obvious egg-eaters, were recently shortlisted in the Film Lions category at Cannes. These were ‘GPS’, above, and ‘Spanish’.

Eggs make children scary as f@ck!
Eggs make kids speak in really strange voices but only 2/3rds of the time.
Eggs make parents hate and fear their kids.
Eggs make for fluffy and repetitive comments
