hey everyone sorry for the delay. i got caught up in SB then it came to an end so fast i completely forgot about posting... so here i am a day late and a dollar short..
i am a advertising major as i imagine many of you are (or some). the query i have for everyone is , was there ever a commercial that you saw that you were just like wow that is awesome? or one that stuck with you for a long time? i have been a commercial guy for a while. i enjoy watching new commercials or creative ones. I also love old ads for example i and i truly think I'm alone on this, loved those miller lite "dick" ads. I'm not being vulgar but if you remember they ran a campaign that was created by a guy named Dick. the one i remember was of loggers in their cabin and are being attacked by a giant beaver on a dirt bike. he rides in and eats down their house and rides away like a giant beaver outlaw.
aside from the genius geico ads the commercial that has stuck with me for the longest time is one by MTV (when they mildly sucked not like they do now). it was a sweeper or promo commercial for MTV itself that aired probably 13-15 years ago. the synopsis goes as this
its a first person view of someone eating a plate of food at a seedy diner. the hand is holding a fork and is getting some peas. from across the counter you hear someone blowing their nose real loud. the first person view focuses on the man blowing his nose who turns out to be the cook. he then pulls the hanker chief from his nose and looks at it. the cook in a very excited tone says "oh sweet i made an MTV logo" he turns to look at the camera and then asks "wanna see?" since the person he ask is that of the first person you cant see a reaction but the time is filled with silence. the cooks face goes from smiling to a mad look the then shouts very loud "WELL I DIDN'T WANT TO SHOW YOU ANYWAYS" then storms back into the kitchen.
it may be a little gross however that ad has stuck with me for years. i couldn't find the ad anywhere so i pulled this from memory so the details may be a little off but the main point is there.
so my question is what is your favorite commercial of all time? old or new, lame or funny. don't be shy.
