Commercial of the Week 1/10/07 Subway Referee Refreshing Moment commercial

Contrary to popular belief, I am still alive, working, writing, blogging, and living despite a disappointing loss this last week. With that being said commercial of the week lives on with this new Subway advertisement. Lots of great football on this month, and its great to see Subway segmenting a commercial to jaded and cynical […]

Commercial of the Week (Cingular Sven and Allstate kicker commercials)

I was very conflicted about what to pick as my commercial of the week. At times I liked Dell’s new Pretty exploding computers commercial and was entertained by Bud Light’s new “Dude” series. However in the end I picked the new Allstate kicker commercial. Its kind of corny but comical with some good commentary connecting […]

Commercial of the Week 12/26 (Statoil, Bad Morning)

I tried to find a new T Mobile commercial on youtube for this week’s commercial of the week. Its the one with a normal looking guy making an ass out of himself trying to leave a voice mail for a girl he took out for a date, evoking a famous scene in the movie Swingers. […]

Commercial of the Week (Johnnie Walker Black Label)

This weeks commercial of the week goes to the new Johnnie Walker Black label ad. Cool imagery and a smooth song really put you at ease. Although drinking whiskey on the rocks is enjoyed by a minority of viewers, this commercial really does a great job associating Johnnie Walker Black with relaxing/blowing some steam off […]

Commercial of the Week 12/12 Burger King Whopper Freakout

This week’s commercial of the week goes to the new Burger King Whopper Freakout series. I couldn’t find some of the 30 second ads that have been hitting the airwaves but instead found this entertaining 7 minute video which has most of the footage shown in the series of advertisements. With fast food chains constantly […]

Commercial of the week 12/3 (Sharp Aquos D64)

This week’s commercial of the week goes to a pair of new Sharp Aquos ads promoting their D64 television. Sharp is considered by most to be a a second tier consumer electronics maker behind the likes of Sony and Samsung. This new ad is visually stimulating, engaging, and does a great job promoting the new […]

Commercial of the week (College Gameday Handshake)

This week’s commercial of the week goes out to ESPN’s Do You Know Gameday Handshake commercial. Every week ESPN has unveiled a new commercial imploring viewers to guess on the habits, traditions, and personalities surrounding their hit college pre game show , College Gameday. Gameday has a cult fan base and is taken in by […]

Commercial of the Week (Iphone All These Years)

Before talking about my commercial of the week, I wanted to bring up that I recently noticed that advertisers are now segmenting their commercials based on if consumers have HD. Let me explain. We all get ESPN and those of us who have HD receivers and tv’s get ESPNHD which is the same content but […]

Commercial of the Week (Peyton Manning Mastercard Priceless Pep Talk)

Despite the fact that Peyton Manning appears in about 1/2 of the commercial you view during a fooball game, I got to give cred to one of his newest ads. I really haven’t enjoyed Manning’s work off the football field what so ever but found this Mastercard commercial to be entertaining. Although usually one to […]

Commercial of the Week 11/6 (ESPN the Magazine Greg Oden)

Got to call out this hilarious ESPN the magazine ad featuring recent cover boy Greg Oden. For those of you who don’t know Oden is a 19 year old 7 foot tall freak of nature basketball player that looks as is he is 40 years old. The former Buckeye and number 1 pick is unfortunately […]

Commercial of the week 10/31 (Toyota Tacoma)

This weeks commercial of the week goes to the Toyota Tacoma, World of Warcraft ad. Its mildly entertaining for the majority of the audience but probably turns a lot of heads in the gaming community as the Tacoma is shown in the popular game, World of Warcraft. While some may quibble with this selection it […]

Commercial of the week 10/15 (BMW 3 Series)

This commercial of the week goes to BMW’s new 3 Series ad. This advertisement really strikes a chord with BMW enthusiasts while also being memorable and catchy to the the average viewer. Simple yet affective.

Commercial of the Week 10/9 (Fowler Toyota Mike Gundy Spoof)

Although this commercial is somewhat of an inside joke (a spoof on an earlier incident), the Fowler Toyota commercial might be the most genius advertisement of 2007. Rewind two weeks ago to when Mike Gundy, the Oklahoma State football coach, went on a long mean spirited tirade at the expense of a local journalist. The […]

Commercials of the week (madden and ipod nano)

2 commercials this week really impressed me. First prize goes to the Madden “Field Generals” ad which many people call the Madden “Life got in the way”. Madden’s popularity as a video game really hit an upsurge in the late 90’s and continued through the new millenium. Many young Gen X and older Gen Y […]
