Maybe its just that I am a closet tech geek, but I have really enjoyed the bubbling advertising battle between  Apple and Microsoft. For years Apple gained traction across the board in all competitive spaces they share with Microsoft while Microsoft has seen their strangle hold on everything slip. Ipod > Zune Safari > IE […]

It’s been awhile since a commercial of the week, but this week I am back and with a good one. There were several that I liked but this one was really sweet and the only one I could find on youtube (you missed Captain Morgan’s!) Typical Nike full minute spot with a great concept, music, […]

Been pretty sick the past couple of days, but thought I would get back to blogging with a much missed Commercial of the week. Southwest has always been known as the low cost, no frills airline. While this commercial is nothing special, it once again differientates what they are doing from their competitors.

I was mocking a Brent Jones commercial endorsement at work when a colleague brought my attention to Baltimore area auto dealership Eastern Motors. The jingle is catchy, the footage is terrible, but the celebrities are top tier. They are almost so bad, that they are good. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzS9SxDLFlk&hl=en&fs=1 Shockingly if you search on youtube, this […]

Been busy moving this week so tv time has been very limited. However came across this ad below. Its kind of lame, but catchy. An effective dorky jingle, and the slogan of “Go Meat” is entertaining.

The two commercials below are bad, in poor taste, and are ridicuously over the top and taboo. But you know what, they are so freaking horrible, that they are effective. Let me rewind to several years ago when Go Daddy hands down was voted the worst Super Bowl commercial. I forgot the exact commercial, but […]

This is quite the pick for commercial of the week. I haven’t been watchig much tv and life right now is as hectic as ever with a multi faceted relocation in the works. However this morning this commercial seemed to calm my nerves just a bit. I have never gone on a RV vacation and […]

I am throwing kind of a changeup for this commercial of the week. I saw a lot good witty new commercials, but this one grabbed my attention the most. Awhile back I blogged about how long time oilman T Boone Pickens was heading a new initiative to increase wind energy productions. Pickens is now putting […]

Saw a handful of nice contenders for commercial of the week, but was really impressed with a nicely executed series of ads hyping NCAA Fotball 09’s pending release (tomorrow). College football fans are the most passionate and crazed of all the major American sports. If you didn’t know that, that’s ok. If you disagree you […]

Really didn’t see much in ways of commercials this week. This was most likely because I haven’t been watching as much television of late. However this commercial caught my eye. The Most Interesting Man in the World campaign has broadened Dos Equis brand awareness. The commercial below builds you up, but gives you a short […]

Didn’t see any commercial that blew my mind, but did see a teaser while watching television for an upcoming movie. Definitely peeked my interest. Not sure if this is the initial commercial I watched, but it’s suffice for now. http://youtube.com/watch?v=eEp7OEYt77c

This week’s commercial of the week has aired in multiple shorter incarnations during the Euro Cup. Below is the full 2 minute piece. Its directed by Guy Ritchie of Snatch, Lock Stock, and Madonna fame. The commercial is uptempo, exciting, tells a story, and has loads of soccer star power. What sets it apart is […]

I had a handful of commercials pegged for commercial of the week, but none seem to be on youtube. Following up on my ode to Apple yesterday I thought I would go with the new ad for the new 3g Iphone. Nothing special but its great that they position it as twice as fast and […]

Typically I find myself unmoved by most automobile commercials. However the below Subaru ad caught my attention. In an era, where car commercials are cliche and ineffective, this Subara commercial sticks out as cool and worth watching. It looks fun to do, but I wonder if I would have the cahones to try any of […]

Man o man I have been busy of late. Really wanted to give some love to a new San Francisco Giants commercial featuring Matt Cain, but alas I could not find it. Luckily this is a pretty decent silver medal winner. I think this maybe the first apparel commercial to take the crown and deservingly […]
