Commercials you like

Toyota's Jan: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2536126/

 

That Apple ad was fantastic. Reminded me of the slacker kid who showed up at Christmas dinner in a suit, stunning everyone a few years back - I think it was a Visa spot.

 

Anyone else get fired up when that Northwestern Mutual Life ad spot comes on. When I hear the theme, I always figure it's touting the SEC's supremacy.

 

In case anyone's wondering what T.O. is doing lately ... he's hawking Carl's Jr. Philly cheesesteak burgers:

(BTW ... it's a helluva burger )

 

I didn't notice a burger.

 

"Ha ha! Madest thou look."

More Geico brilliance.

 

That one's pretty good, although I thought it would be some variation on, "Roderick, thou bootlace is untied."

 

"These are troubling times in the kingdom."

 

The newest Old Spice commercial with the moms singing in lament that their son is now a man. I have disliked a fair amount of the Old Spice commercials, but this one is pretty good.

 

I liked it, but it's going to get really old, really fast.

 

The Huggies/Luvs comparison one, where it says: "First kid:" and a youth asks if she can hold the baby, and Mom has her sanitize her hands three different ways. Then, it says "Second kid:" and the Mom hands the new baby over to a grease-monkeyed mechanic to hold, no problem, while she digs around in her purse.

It always makes me smile, because it's true. Parents do learn with each kid that babies/kids can handle some amount of dirt/carelessness, and having their parents be not quite as vigilant about every little thing all the time.

 

Do like the latest set of commercials from one of the investing/retirement firms showing the evolution of some great athletes (in reverse) back to their initial moments. Most recent one I saw was Apollo Ohno.
