Today I am not going to pick a commercial of the week. Despite extra time watching the tube during my week of vacation, nothing stuck out what so ever in the world of commercials. So rather than crowning a false winner, I am going to vent my anguish at the continuously annoying nostalgic basketball commercials. […]

Before I get into this weeks commercial of the week I want to tell you an interesting story. I saw this commercial on Monday night and loved it. Its ingrained in my head and will be hard to top in 2008. I found it in youtube, and was excited to post it on the blog. […]

You can stop freaking out that benkoo.com has not been updated. Travel and some other issues have cut into blogging time, but I am back and back with a vengeance (and a big announcement soon) But before we jump into bigger and better things, thought I would give a shout out to my latest commercial […]

I saw a handful of good commercials (I really liked the Diet Mountain Dew yo yo commercial), but in the end opted for this slapstick advertisement promoting Stride Gum. Simply put, its random and hilarious. It doesn’t really make sense, but what’s not to like. Usually I stay away from commercials that are this simple, […]

Didn’t see much I liked in the way of new commercials this weeks but was impressed with the new Iphone Bet Commercial. Apple’s marketing across all their product lines are targeted, recognizaeblle, and consistent. Although its overkill, their market shares for all their products have been trending up as more and more consumers begin to […]

Lots of cool commercial have been debuting this week, but I got to show love for this nostalgic Pontiac ad. Spy hunter was a very popular arcade and Nintendo game in the 80’s. If you are a guy between the ages of 25-40, chances are you probably are at least semi familiar with it. Looking […]

I always keep an eye out for solid commercials as I hate scrambling to pick one, when its time to select a Commercial of the Week. This week I found myself impressed by a pair of new Nike commercials. I have always enjoyed the vast majority of Nike’s commercials and found the below ads to […]

I have two great friends in town this week, hence my blogging has been down. Its been an awesome past couple of days, taking advantage of all the fun stuff in and around the Bay Area and of course the weather (I am told a bad blizzard hit Ohio yesterday while we were at the […]

Saw 2 commercials that impressed me this week. I’ll go with the new Audi A5 commercial by a hair over the Propel commercial. Audi is having a lot of traction with 20 and 30 year old business professionals who are finding value over this luxury brand compared to that of Lexus, BMW, and Mercedes. Apple’s […]

Haven’t seen to many new ads I like this week. Chevron has some cool advertisements about clean energy that I like, but I know its just a lot of fluff and marketing spin. I think most viewers are probably skeptical of if as well. One company that seems to be legitimately committed to improving fuel […]

This week I am going with this catchy satirical jingle ad by Dunkin Donuts. Its pretty obvious who they are mocking in this commercial. Starbucks is beginning to feel pressure from cheaper more basic offerings from Mcdonalds, Dunkin Donuts, and 7 Eleven. Although I already recognized a Jackie Moon commercial, I wanted to give some […]

This commercial aired about a month ago and I have to label it a complete success. Mike Huckabee is the one of 2 republicans left in the race and has picked up a handful of primary wins over the past month. The below advertisement caught a lot of people’s eye and attracted a lot of […]

With the Super Bowl coming up I am planning to do something special for Commercial of the Week next week. For now this one goes to a pretty risque Domino’s pizza commercial. Not a fan of Domino’s at all, but definitely love the adult humor in this ad.

Haven’t seen a commercial that really impressed me this week but will go with a commercial that was effective on myself. For awhile now I have seen various auto makers (Ford, Lincoln, Mercury) push their new Microsoft powered Sync system technology. I typically ignore products like On Star, Tom Tom, Sirius Radio, etc as I […]

Although many people have moved on from Monster.com and CareerBuilder.com to more industry or geographic specific job listing depository websites, I must admit I was taken aback by this Monster.com commercial. It’s a very gripping commercial, full of intense visual imagery and music to match. Is it the end of the world? Aliens? an attack? […]
