Our Favorite Ads of Super Bowl 2010
And the award for best Super Bowl campaign goes to Doritos! It was a pleasure to watch their ads amongst the confusing nonsense of “Go Green”, GoDaddy yawn ads and the pathetic chicken commercials of Denny’s (seriously millions of dollars in Ad space just to move a friggin grand slam meal?) The Doritos and Bud Light ads were the only ones worth paying attention to outside of Megan Fox bathing… and the one that garnered the most laughter had to be the baby bitch slapping his mother’s boyfriend. I lolled and you will... [Read more]
New Axe Commercial has Jaime Pressly Cleaning Balls
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... [Read more]
Budweiser – Greetings – It’s What We Do
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”... [Read more]
Michael Imperioli Prefers 1800 Tequila
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... [Read more]
Get Dunked on by Patrick Chewing
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... [Read more]
Ketel One: When Men Were Men
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... [Read more]
Don’t go to bed before the King
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.

The Most Interesting Man In The World
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.... [Read more]
Adidas Ad – Celebrate Originality
Give us an Ad featuring a remix of “Begging” by the legendary Frankie Valli, toss in some old school and “real Hip Hop” emcees and you find yourself with solid gold. Not only is this ad memorable but it gives you a sort of warm fuzzy feeling on the inside… like damn, I want to be at that house party. Adidas and Hip Hop has always walked hand in hand so it doesn’t surprise me that they know the formula of selling their product to that audience well. This sure beats that awful commercial with Jermaine... [Read more]
