This spot doesn’t have the magic of the Beard Comb-Over, despite adding Tracy Morgan to the mix. It still has some charm, but we just kept waiting and waiting for the “funny thing” to happen and it never quite did.
We have to admit, that cold Sierra Mist really did look delicious and refreshing, so they got that going for them.
If you’re not following Michael Ian Black and Jim Gaffigan on Twitter… well, then you’ve avoided being terribly offended several times a day and have not wasted a whole lot of time on Twitter, so good on you.
These two are great together in this Sierra Mist spots, though we think any one of us would kill somebody to be able to pull off a beard comb-over. It’s sort of awe-inspiring in its own disgusting way.
A crazy old man is kidnapped and brutally assaulted in broad daylight, and nobody lifts a finger to help him. Seems like the American Heart Association wanted to get out the word about heart attack risk without being a Debbie Downer, but wound up making a short film about the dangers of living in an urban society.
We guess anything works as long as it gets you to stop and think before shoving that thirteenth jalapeno popper in your mouth, right?
Fedex has historically done great Super Bowl commercials, but this isn’t one of them. The spot is well done, it just isn’t particularly funny to begin with. We think they could and should have done a lot more with the “office on the Moon” gag than just having a guy float away. Something maybe having to do with the fact that what the hell is a Fedex office doing on the Moon in the first place? Maybe? We don’t know, we’re just spit-balling here.
Wow, we feel dumber just for watching this garbage.
If they can afford to give away domains for $1.99 and still put terrible commercials in the Super Bowl every year, can they just spare us the ads and give domains away for free? GoDaddy, what is that even supposed to mean anyway?
The wizards at GoDaddy’s marketing department need to watch a Victoria’s Secret spot, then they’ll see how to really get a man’s attention.
We’re not exactly sure what they were going for here, but it comes off as some sort of bizarre automobile gang-rape. We think this was a winning college entry that wound up on the air, but that doesn’t make it any less terrible. This makes us want to crash a Chevy into whoever made this awful commercial.
We were going to make fun of this for implying that even in 2007 people still used folding maps, but the song won us over. Listen closely to the lyrics, that’s the kind of attention to detail that makes a good commercial brilliant. Makes us want to hit eBay and see if there are any Ultraman DVDs kicking around out there.
Was Maposaurus seriously just defeated with a crotch ray?
Coke takes their hippie peace-and-love image from the sixties and updates it by flipping a game of Grand Theft Auto on its head. This should totally be a GTA mod, or maybe even the next in the series. Rock Star, are you listening? You could call it “GTA: Boulder, Colorado”.
Incidentally, Boulder is the happiest city in America according to the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index 2010.
The theme here is to not judge something just by its name, but the spot seems to be reinforcing the opposite message?
While the jokes actually work against the theme, the whole ad is just too hilarious for us to care. If you don’t think “Well said, Mr. Turkeyneck” is funny, then frankly there’s just no hope for you.
Careerbuilder.com moves away from the monkeys, but still manages to keep it primitive. We think we’ve all felt like this when corporate was looking for volunteers for… well, just about anything.
The security guard at the end really has his day in the spotlight, doesn’t he? We can just picture him at parties years later, playing this clip on his phone for anyone who can’t escape his zone of control around the punch bowl.
