My Favorite enjoi ads

It's hard to pick one, so I'll pick two. The first one is from August 2010. I like the juxtaposition between Nestor's and Wieger's poses, silhouetted against the skyline, water and sunset. I feel like its humor is more subtle than some of their other ads.


The second one is from April 2011, featuring Ben Raemers. This one explains itself. RIP Ben.
