Dewmocracy Tug-of-War
by: Sarah

Which Dew do you do?  Personally I’m all for the original flavor, in diet of course, but I suppose these new flavors might be worth a shot.  The vote is down to Supernova, Voltage and Revolution so get your vote on, you have until July 31st!

Doogey Houser does Old Spice
by: Sarah

This commercial is way better than the Bruce Campbell Old Spice, and not because it’s funny, because it’s Doogie Houser!  The bit about the “former make believe doctor” is absolutely hilarious, adding the “That’s why I can recommend it, I used to be a doctor for pretend.”  Anyway, love it, watch it.

Nike Football (Soccer) Commercial for Euro2008
by: DS

This is a great commercial. This is the shorter version, you can see the longer version below from the YouTube Nike Soccer site.

The commercial is directed by Guy Ritchie and the music is Eagles of Death Metal’s “Don’t Speak”.

Here is the longer version:

JC Penney Speed Dressing commercial
by: Sarah

Well, I thought this spot was pretty hilarious, but what is it teaching our youth about sex?  “Today’s the day to get away with it” is a tad out of line on the abstinence front, but makes the commercial way more hilarious.  Yeah, that’s right, I’m torn between “this commercial is hilarious” and “it’s way out of line.”  But let’s just say that it isn’t what I expected from a J.C. Penney commercial.

Geico’s worst caveman commercial
by: Sarah

This is possibly the worst Geico Caveman commercial, it has absolutely no direction or purpose.  I really would like to see this commercial gone.  The only reason why I posted it was to see if anyone agreed or disagreed with me, so whaddya think?

AT&T’s you’re a dillweed commercial
by: Sarah

AT&T always has pretty decent commercials, I especially like the father searching for his absent daughter at make-out point.  I love the irony of him “singing” Motorhead’s Ace of Spades while he misses the calls from his buddy trying to offer him Motorhead tickets, what a dillweed.  Not much else to say about this one really, so enjoy the spot I’m sure there will be others.

Washington Lottery - Birds
by: DS

This is one of the best commercials this year.

The Washington Lottery commercials are really good and this one does not under deliver.

The concept and the execution are just perfect. “Who’s world would you change?”

Yellow Pages - Dog Broom
by: Sarah

 

Here’s an advert I really don’t have much to say about other than it reminds me of when I was younger and my mom complained about my long pants “sweeping the streets.”

Yellow Pages - Chimney Sweep
by: Sarah

 

It’s a Yellow Pages kind of day, here is the Chimney Sweep advert.  This one also reminds me of my childhood out in the boonies.  This one makes me think of my ultra redneck neighbors, seems like something they would do, but they might have forgotten the rope and gotten stuck.

Philips’ New Electric Razor Commercial
by: DS

Not going to write much for this one, better to just watch.

I guess one thing I should add is that I love fembots.
