Comcast Old Folks Dancin

February 17th, 2007

Here’s a older Comcast commercial starting out with a record spinning that says “Dial - up” on it with a “DSL” cover near by. The camera pans out to some an olderly couple slow dancing. Then the DJ spins some Hip-Hop and the old folks start bustin’ a move. Funny.

Best & Worst Super Bowl 41 Commercials

February 5th, 2007

First off, I want to congratulate the Indianapolis Colts for their amazing comeback win over the Chicago Bears in last night’s Big Game.

As far as the commercial ads go, I was overly impressed at all. I felt a bit let down with the lack of “Funny” and “Creative” commercials this year. I’d have to say it was one of the worst years for big ads during the game. And it’s almost not even worth mentioning the way-over-hyped GoDaddy.com ad that was just lame.

I was able to pick a couple “Best” and “Worst” overall, although worst could go to at least one third (I’m being modest) of those shown. What I call best is actually made me laugh! Here they are:

BEST / FUNNY:

Bud Lite Classroom - Carlos Mencia Teaching English

Rock, Paper Siscors - Bud Lite

FedEx - Not What it Seems

Emerald Nuts - “Boogeyman”

WORST:

Flomax
Here’s a links since they disabled the ‘embed’ option, but that’s ok because theirs was by far the worst! So don’t bother clicking on it:

Best and Worst Super Bowl Commercials So Far

February 5th, 2007

The best TV ad as of the beginning of the 3rd quarter is this Bud Lite Commercial - Rock, Paper Scissors:

The worst (tough since most of the aren’t that good at all):

Today is Super TV Commercial Bowl Sunday

February 5th, 2007

Yep it’s here again … the Super Bowl. Millions of people around the world surrounding the tv to watch some the best (and worst) television advertising of the year occasionally interrupted with a football game.

We plan to offer you some of those right here on the TV Commercial Blog, so be sure and stop back.

By the way, last year’s Super Bowl commercials are still up on Google Video (video.google.com/superbowl.html). I’m sure Google will replace these ads with Super Bowl XLI ads tomorrow (hopefully they archive the old ones). Yahoo will also be hosting the actual Super Bowl ads once the game starts at Yahoo Video which is pretty cool. It sure is a lot easier to find, grab and replay video ads now then it was just a year ago.

Atari Pole Position Retro Commercial

Here’s a classic for ya - this 1980 something commercial for Atari’s Pole Position … enjoy the rockin’ music while you watch.

Orange County Choppers AOL Super Bowl 38 Commercial

January 28th, 2007

Ha! Remember this commercial from Super Bowl 38? I think this is what really boosted the OCC boys to super stardom faster than AOL went south (even with these ads).

Russian Citi Rewards “Speed” Commercial

December 28th, 2006

Here’s another Russian guy CITI Rewards commercial for all you lovers out there (yes, just for you!).

This one is really FAST due to his “stripped pants”.

I know you’ll enjoy it as much as I do (more coming …)

Russian Citi Rewards “Distraction” Commercial

December 14th, 2006

Finally got one of these hilarious CITI Rewards commercials for your enjoyment. I love this Russian guy!

More to come … soon I hope.

Get a Mac - Buy a PC

December 5th, 2006

One of the funnier ones running right now for the ‘06 Holiday Season.

To see all of the “Get a Mac” commercials … go here (quicktime required).

Burger King Manipulation

November 23rd, 2006

This is a pretty funny new commercial from Burger King called “Manipulation”. I guess what makes it funny to me is that I’m a father now and seeing the parents wine and pout instead of the children makes it pretty hilarious.

Haven’t seen it yet on Google Video or YouTube so you’ll have to go to bk.com to see it.
