COMMERCIAL MANIAC

If you know of a better commercial for that honor, please, let me know.

Until then, watch this...



I am shocked that some Asian-interest group has not lashed out at this commercial. It is simply horrendous!

Okay, as has been the case in the past, Budweiser presented a few commercials. Now, I discussed my liking of the Heineken commercial and feel that some of the Bud commercials were equally good. Maybe not as sleek, but most definitely funny and to the point - drink a Bud. Of course, one could argue that some were a waste of money, but like they say in showbiz, "any publicity is better than no publicity."

Well, take a look see. Enjoy!

Commercial 1: 'Wedding Reception'




Commercial 2: 'Rock, Paper, Scissors'




Commercial 3: Talking Parrots




Commercial 4: 'Classroom' with Carlos Mencia and the immigrants



Commercial 5: 'Fist Bump'

I really like this one but worry about it, given thefaact that so many young people are posting video of themselves fighting online. There's no fighting here, just some silly slapping.



Commercial 6: 'Spot'



Commercial 7: 'But He Has Bud Light' (Hitchhiker)



Commercial 8: Carlos Mencia



Commercial 9: 'Bud King Crab'



Commercial 10: 'Jay-Z Just a Game'

I unfortunately cannot find the full version but will add it as soon as I do.

Commercial 11: 'Great Apes'

Here is the Garmin Commercial featured during Superbowl Sunday. Now, I can say I do not like this commercial, but it really isn't that bad. It reminds me of a commercial that I really like - Pepto Bismol's monster commercial. I cannot believe that Garmin couldn't come up with something more original. Even the music used was similar to that used in the Pepto Bismol commercial. Please watch both commercials to see the similarities.

The Pepto Bismol commercial is just better done. Its funny as hell and the huge Godzilla, Jack (from Jack and the bean Stalk), Robot and the Greek goddess sell Pepto Max like the rent is due tomorrow.

Anyway, here is the Garmin ad followed by the Pepto Bismol commercial.

The CHEVY HHR commercial was part of the College Ad Challenge introduced to encourage end-users to create their own commercials for Superbowl Sunday. Now, I missed this on Superbowl Sunday but managed to watch it the next morning. It is hilarious!!!!!

The commercial features 3 young women in a Chevy HHR. The driver tips a gentleman who uses his coat to wipe clean her vehicle. He, in turn gratefully accepts the tip with his mouth. This surprises the driver, but what comes next has all the girls laughing in shock and amazement. Before they know it, a whole bunch of men, young and old, show up to wash the car in a move reminiscent of Paris Hilton's commercial for Carl's Jr. a few years ago (which I am including for your comparison at the bottom of the post).

What makes me laugh so hard is the irony of a whole bunch of men, half dressed, wriggling their bodies to clean a car, the way some women apparently wash their cars. (Think Jessica Simpson in "Boots are made for walking" music video. Half naked, with soap suds all over the place. Again, simply watch the Paris video, it gives you an idea, not the you don't have one already). Pay attention to the charming old man who's helping wash the Chevy. Again, this is a hilarious commercial. Congratulations to Katelyn Crabb who came up with the concept. Great job!!!!! Isn't interesting that Paris Hilton got paid $6 million for her commercial which elicited many complaints, and this young lady, Ms. Crabb, who is a college junior only got a car? No fair, but still great job, Katie!




Here is the Carl's Junior commercial featuring Ms. Hilton.



I am also including a parody of the Paris commercial that is very funny.

Now, my children and I love Doritos and I can think of various Doritos commercials. Most notable, is the Ali Larter commercial were she does all kind of moves at a laundromat.

Anyway, I caught this Superbowl commercial and can confess it didn't get me excited. At first. Upon rewatching it, I actually chuckled a few times. I appreciate the commercial more, knowing that it was a finalist of the thousands submitted by nordinary people for the Doritos Commercial Challenge. Although this is not my favorite commercial, it does have some humor to it. Here it is for your viewing pleasure.




Here is the second Doritos commercial aired during the Superbowl.
