So Axe has always been great at playing up to the inner perv in us all with their commercials involving chicks ripping off clothes, giving it up in libraries and licking chocolate men on trains (I can sooooo get down with this) – but this time around, I think they have outdone themselves. Presenting the Axe Ball Cleaner with actress Jaime Pressly (a certified lady Dragon) as tennis champ Monica Blake – demonstrating the product quite effectively. The funniest part of the ad has to be when hostess Denese Saintclaire begins playing with a pair of golfballs… you just have to see it. Good job Axe, I even remember the product you are really selling AFTER seeing the ad, so it works! Hell I’ll probably pick it up next time I’m out shopping., just in case it comes with a Jaime Pressly to scrub the… nevermind, I gotta go cool off. Peace!   NEW! Axe… [Read more]

Though not a fan of beer (drinking it makes me worry that I’ll develop a cast-iron gut that protrudes beyond my chest). I am more a James Bond Martini man, call it a girly drink if you dare, I’ll turn around and call you a piss drinking savage. No, no,  not the beer for this gent but as you know I do like a good commercial and whilst watching the recap of the Colts game a Budweiser commercial came on that made me smile. Budweiser – Greetings – It’s What We Do is from the same vein of “it’s a man thing” that brought us the overplayed Wassup! of yester-year. Take a look at this ad, and more importantly peep the facial expressions on the women as their respective cornballs bump chests, do weird fist bumps and exchange man hugs. It is absolutely hilarious, even moreso because I have seen THAT LOOK before. Let’s face… [Read more]

We all know that Michael Imperioli is gangster, I mean it’s Chris frikkin Moltisanti over here. Cousin and one time heir to the throne of Anthony Soprano. What a surprise it was to see my man as the new face for 1800 Tequila. Below you will find him kicking back, dissing Patron (the new flavor of the month “cool” liquor), and just being himself. The monochrome colors of the ad and the clean suit Michael is wearing reminds me a lot of the Ketel One ads but it all works for the same reasons: It’s macho, it’s for the boys and it seems to be anti-douche (notice Michael doesn’t have a fohawk or an Ed Hardy shirt on). Now this is the type of ad to “Change the Game”.

Kudos to the marketing genius who conceptualized it and the big wigs who okayed it and cut Patrick Ewing a check. You remember Ewing right? One of the colossal, great centers of yesteryear when everybody in the NBA was godly and basketball was the sport to watch? I wonder what Pat was doing when he received the call to come dunk on some poor unsuspecting stranger? Was he getting it on with some stripper whore full on scandal style, or was he donning Angel wings for his next big movie role? Who knows, but he is back on the radar in one of the funniest commercials ever. This is kinda old but I can’t stop watching it and the more I watch it the more I want a Snickers… damn you evil candy bar, damn you to hell with your chocolate armor, chewy caramel insides and filling peanuts. I remember when kids used to hustle… [Read more]

Okay, one of these Ketel One commercials came on last night and I found myself nodding in approval at everything being said. The genuine look and feel of the well-to-do boys sharing some spirits, sans metrosexual Ed Hardy shirts. An air of money and the raspy announcer’s voice upping the macho meter just a few notches. Being a vodka man myself, I tend to get thirsty seeing these things and whenever the commercial comes on I immediately crave a vodka/gin martini or a sexy Russian babe with accent. In any event, here are a few of the ads, I really like these and I like the message. There’s nothing like boy’s night out. Can I get an amen? Ketel One – Table Ketel One – Bar Ketel One – Street

After pissing off parents with the Sponge Bob Square Pants ad, Burger King keeps on trucking with that scary King mask and the freak who wears it. This time they take the College Humor route and have the king pranking a sleeping victim. I love this ad and it makes me laugh everytime. The funny part isn’t even about the king, its the great acting by the guy who wakes up, he sells it perfectly and I don’t think it could be done any better. Very nice BK, very nice indeed.

So I’ve become obsessed with the “Most Interesting Man in The World”. Privately in my mind I cannot wait to taste the beer to see if it lives up to such a kickass ad campaign as this one. I mean Tony Sinclair put over Tanqueray in a major way and for good reason… Tanqueray is liquid gold. So I am guessing that Dos Equis should win me over into the beer drinker territory… right? How can you not love this dude, he’s the James Bond archetype and anyone who knows the Dragon knows that I am a big Bond guy. The commercials show the old man charming women, rescuing bears from traps, bench pressing Asian chicks and even playing Jai lai lol. I cannot resist putting over kickass ad campaigns and my hat is off to Dos Equis… I am very thirsty and I want to try it. More on the taste test later… check… [Read more]

You know i’m hardly an advocate for cliche sayings but there is something to be said about “be a father to your child”. How sad is it that in this great country we are still struggling with this. Abandoned children – the sad collateral damage in the war of the sexes. It may be okay to hate a bitch but why avoid your seed in the midst of hating on her? That being said, it makes me smile when I see the ads from fatherhood.gov. The ads always have a normal guy doing something completely out of the norm… for instance one had a guy dancing in front of the television to a really girly song. This one depicts a father doing a cheer… but pan out and you will see he is actually playing with his daughter. Giving her a little attention that may seem corny to everyone else but will do wonders for… [Read more]
