E-Trade Baby
Thu, 29 Jul 2010 04:57:38 +0000

I love commercials about babies and animals, and when I saw my first E-Trade commercial, I really couldn't get over how funny and clever it was! The baby in the commerical isn't particularly adorable, but coupled with the voice, it's perfect. It was the first time that I can really remember laughing out loud at a commerical. I waited for it to come on for a few days so I could show my family members, who also thought it was probably one of the cutest and funniest commericals they have ever seen. I was really excited when they decided to do a whole series of them, adding in new babies and more technology. Kudos to E-Trade. They really made a name for themselves!

I love the Kia Soul commercial!
Wed, 28 Jul 2010 03:10:18 +0000

I really love the Kia Soul auto commercial that features the animated hamsters "lip synching" to the song "The Choice is Yours" by Black Sheep. First, I absolutely love that song and I had completely forgotten just how much I liked it until this commercial came around and reminded me. Second, the animated hamsters featured in the spot are very well done and, if I don't mind saying so, are just as cute as heck. I want to pinch their chubby little cheeks! Third, I just have to laugh out loud every time I see those silly little animated hamsters "driving" down the street in a toaster, sticking out the top of the thing like a slice of bread.

Brilliant commercial.

Geico Drill Sergeant
Tue, 27 Jul 2010 20:34:04 +0000

I have to admit to being somewhat jaded by commercials since they put out so much effort to grab my attention, especially through humor. Usually it doesn't work and can often be just downright annoying but every now and then a commercial or a series of commercials come on that I actually look forward to. Not only does the Geico Drill Sergeant starring R. Lee Ermey make me laugh every time I see it (even on YouTube, where I have a choice) but I've started using some of the phrases. In my opinion, when a commercial gets me to do that, it's a hit.

Reality Check - U by Kotex
Sun, 25 Jul 2010 02:29:19 +0000

I was quite literally blown away when I first saw the "Reality Check" ad from U by Kotex. The entire line of U by Kotex ads are some of the best on TV. They take a very satirical and sarcastic stance on feminine hygiene products, and leave you sitting there thinking, "Did they REALLY just do that?", and yes, yes they did!

The commercials poke fun at traditionally accepted ideas of what a feminine hygiene ad should be. From girls jumping on the beach, to twirling in slow motion, to doing gymnastics in white spandex- they unapologetically tackle it all.

Prepare to laugh.
