A car was dropped from a plane for an ad—but the parachute failed
"Then everyone went silent. The car's chute wasn't opening. The car started falling a lot faster than the skydiver. Everyone just stared as the MGB smashed to the ground.
The skydiver landed beside the brand-new MGB, which was now a completely flattened pancake."

I wasn't familiar with the name, but reading up on him, I'm sure I've seen some clips from the "dog" spots, as they rang a bell. "Riding a hippopotamus" I don't remember, but that's pretty brave...
I must have seen them in a documentary on advertising or similar.
If you're interested in the business and creative sides of advertising, there's a Canadian industry figure who has done (and still does) a series of radio programs exclusively about advertising. I'm not sure how well they're known outside of Canada. The current show is "Under the Influence" which is more about marketing generally, but it was preceded by advertising-specific "The Age of Persuasion" and "O'Reilly on Advertising". They're interesting, funny, and totally worth the time.
Under the Influence podcast is available various ways, including Apple/Spotify/etc, or online:

This is a really great episode of Under the Influence about roadside attractions. You'll learn the stories behind:
- the Wawa Goose
- Jumbo the Elephant's tragic death in St. Thomas
- The Big Nickel in Sudbury
Do you have a favourite roadside attraction?
While perhaps not a favourite, I can think of a few. The giant Muskoka chair (forget where), and the dinosaur park behind that McDonalds off the highway in Quebec.

#SocialMedia influencer #DylanMulvaney was making a name for herself on #TikTok. In 2022, she started a series called “#DaysofGirlhood” on her #channel, #documenting her #gendertransition. She now has over 10 million followers, and her #series has had over one billion views.
This sort of #reach is exactly the sort of thing a brand would want to attach itself to.
