I’ve already covered the fact that I think that Old Spice commercial is damn hilarious.  I usually don’t go for the folk song remix, but John Denver is classic.

They jacked “You Fill up My Senses” and killed it, particularly my man on 2nd guitar.  He really nailed that “the tickets are now diamonds” line.

Looking back, this week has been mostly about sex and advertising.  This is a little bit of both.  Condom ads seem to be wide open territory, and this is no exception.  Check these ads from Durex, and don’t miss the words on the figures.

They would have stuck the landing on that one if they also [...]

There aren’t too many commercials that catch me off guard but this one kills me every time.

Hello ladies, look at your man, now back to me, now back at your man…Now, back to me…
I’m on a horse.
-Brock

People overuse lawyers and someone finally decided to make fun of it.

That lone tear like Denzel in Glory is epic.
-Brock

I’m clearly in the wrong business because if this is what is passing as a clever new product idea than Lake and I need to get to production of those Ho Brand Condoms.  Check out the Handjob.

From the name to the product design to the acting to all the double entendres in that commercial, that [...]

Now normally I don’t hit you with a mid-day update, but this is too good to wait.  Who comes up with this stuff, who signed off on this, and can I have a job.

At first only the clapping sounds were unexpected, but then the full on ass-clappities just blew me away. Some CGI dude was [...]

Come on meng.  You know your modeling career is in a tailspin when you’re doing commercials like this.

Just f*cking terrible.  Dude, you’re a notorious idiot.  So you’re just going to play that up?

Damn.. Again, where’s the pride?  And is it just me or does this babe not look so hot anymore?  I mean, remember this [...]

Sex sells and I’m down with it.  I like the little semi-local spots that really pull out all of the stops.  Like if you wanted to use sex to sell a pickle, what would you do?  Probably something like this…

Once you have a woman holding a huge pickle in her hand as she guides it [...]

Again, not sure what separates these great commercial concepts from the terrible ones, but it’s pretty clear we’ve got some talent out there.  This string Rollover Minutes Mom commercials is great.  Here’s the current one:

Dude, that ice grill moms puts on ole dude and the look on his face is priceless.  Somebody needs to put [...]

Check out this German commercial.  Probably about a 3 on the NSFW scale.  Nothing Technically happens, but the sounds and visuals are suggestive until the end.

So does that qualify as a Lymon shower?  Is that Alton from the Real World? 
-Brock

When I first saw this it was certified terrible, but once I realized it was a Taco Bell commercial, I had to give respek.

A cheap Sanberg, but decent enough for a few laughs.  What I do always love about the knock off videos is how the video ho role is always nailed.  That’s the one [...]

I’m not sure which country this is from (clearly not the US with all our morality po po’s running wild), but I want to move there:

Wow.  I’m usually a “no two exposed dacks in one room” kind of guy, but that’s just wild.

Drinking out of the same bottle…that’s disgusting!

Hey, I’m no prude, we know this, but something about this commercial aint right.  I can’t tell if it’s racist, sexist, ignant or just f*cking nasty, but I saw it on tv today and it just didn’t sit right with me.

Geez.  Not ole girl dippin her strawberry into his, uhhh, belly button (?) and getting [...]

Did you know that there is a legal allowance for “fighting words” where the words are so venomous that you can catch an immediate, legal asswhoopin on the spot.  Well, if I ever find the person who wrote this, filmed this, or acted in these spots, I’m going to exercise that right.

First of all, that [...]

I do like these commercials, but are there any more acting jobs out there for cats who look like these dudes?

I must admit, it is funny when that dude tries to cover up his face with the beer glass.  Ha.  This commericial isn’t as good:

Terrible. Damn man.  First you see Meadow Soprano in Lifetime movies [...]

Yesterday I hit you with the product that “feels like a fireman comes in your mouth”.  But there is some other advertising that keeps it a little more classy.  You know how you introduce your kids to sex by telling them about the birds and the bees?  Well you might not to that anymore if [...]

If you are a young lady and you ate something that just might not agree with you, what do you reach for.  The makers of Gaviscon want you to think of them first.  They want you to know that Gaviscon will handle your problems and make you feel good.  But that isn’t enough for advertisers.  [...]

I’ve been watching the NBA Playoffs and keep seeing this joint.  It struck me and decent with the end of the commercial alone with that “I don’t always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis.”  That’s hot rhetoric and good delivery.  Peep it:

I liked that “He lives vicariously through himself” rhetoric, too.  [...]

So Joe Biden went ahead and got his Vice Presidential Dog on.  His choice?

Damn, I guess he saw the reverse angle shot of Rudy Brock posted yesterday.  Anyway VP Biden went with the sturdy and dependable German Shepard.  Hard to argue with that.  He’s non-bitchy, strong and definitely can kick some arse if a sucker [...]

This commercial definitely doesn’t rise to the level of classic material.  Maybe it’s because of the product itself:  Some oiled up, unrefrigerated mystery meat that’s sold next to lighters, jars of pig ears and chapstick at gas stations all across America.

But the pure stupidity of the marketing makes it worthwhile, plus, dead WWE Wrestlers are [...]

This cat Jimmie Rollins of the Phillies really goes hard in this one.

That last “yeaaaaaah” really locks it in.  He never even looks at the ball as it flies in at him.  Hilarious.
-Brock

…and this one is no different.

Hand gesturing pigs eating each other.  Yep, that’s fresh.
- Lake

….this is just ridiculous.  I mean, it was cool to look this ridiculous and have no semblance of a cut when homey was dropping 35 on cats with unstoppable baseline turnarounds, drops steps and dunkers, but what about now?  I mean, they don’t have any barbers in Big Pat’s hood?

Damn a Snickers, personal grooming is [...]

Arby’s is the whipping boy of the fast food industry.  They get no respect whatsoever.  Sure, they kinda drew the short straw after hamburgers, fried chicken, and Mexican food were gone.  I probably would have gone hot dog chain before I went with the roast beef sandwich as the cornerstone of my menu, but hey, [...]

Kobe Bryant has made a complete 180 degree turn in his career since the days he was getting ice grilled by his wife Vanessa for the Colorado incident.

Over five years later and that joint right there is still icy.
Kobe is pumping his new low top basketball sneakers with this ad for Ankle Insurance.  Hilarious.

Great stuff.
