Security tool companies have been selling fear for decades. Dark backgrounds, ominous music, hackers in hoodies—the whole tired playbook. Bad Character Scanner (BCS) insted, made something actually funny.

This Ad Actually Slaps

The developer community is eating it up. Larkin Wallbank-Hart, an up-and-coming talent who stars in the spot, delivers the kind of deadpan, self-aware performance that makes you forget you're watching an ad for enterprise security software. It's the anti-corporate corporate video—and it works.

While competitors are still trying to scare CTOs into buying their products, BCS went the opposite direction: make people laugh, don't insult their intelligence, and maybe they'll actually remember your name.
