Voice.

Am I the only person having flashbacks to my middle school years and my crush on JTT? Now that every commercial break features Tim Allen, my childhood crush on Jonathan Taylor Thomas is haunting me through flashbacks of Tool Time in :30s increments.

Check out the Tim Allen Collection after the jump

4G

Written by Erin on January 13, 2011 – 9:13 pm

I’ve been a fairly loyal AT&T customer. Actually, I was a Cingular customer who was forced into AT&T. Service was awesome at UCONN, not so bad in San Diego and is non existent at the office in San Francisco but I’ve stuck with it…maybe pure laziness or possibly due to not wanting to pay to switch carriers.

I’ve always said if the iPhone went to Verizon I’d finally jump ship and become one of the masses of iPhone-Verizon enthusiasts but this spot has me rethinking that. Anyone out there in San Francisco a T-Mobile customer?

Great spot. Definitely works for me, partly because I love her dress and most definitely because I don’t understand the difference between AT&T 3G and Verizon 3G.

Diapers.

When I poo, I poo in blue.

Without a doubt, the only spot that had me laughing out loud like a fool in quite a long time. I think the product is totally ridiculous, but the spot from the baby casting, to the copy writing is genius, I might buy a pack or two just to show my support to the agency.

Furry.

Written by Erin on June 10, 2010 – 9:49 am

I have a weakness for tiny furry animals in commercials (example 1 and 2)

Is there some sort of scientific name for this?

Kia preys on my weakness once again with their new spot using some badass street hamsters who love them some Black Sheep.

Most resist urge to buy a Kia and build a town of hamsters in it….sooooooo hard.

Dance.

Written by Erin on May 31, 2010 – 12:33 pm

I’m loving the current TV spots for Webber Grill - they are fun personality filled 30 second spots that makes me wish I was at a summer party grilling, drinking and dancing. While the infectious dance moves make not be directly related to grills, they are a great branding campaign with the fitting tag line of  ‘Have fun with it’. Perfect for the summer and perfect for some brand awareness.

Peeve.

Written by Erin on April 15, 2010 – 10:07 pm

One of my biggest pet peeves with commericals ( that you may remember from this previous post): Using cartoons/claymation/rotoscoping when it is totally and completely unncessary.

Y&R Chicago, what about this spot in a scene about regular, everyday life needed to be in claymation? The computer to mini hotels could have been using other (better) methods and there is just something off about it being in claymation.

The second spot of the series below – I think this one would have looked A LOT better using real people. The look on the co-workers face is giggle-worthy but just not there.

Song.

I can’t definitely hear my niece and nephew singing this one. On repeat. All day. Until they rewarded with ice cream cake.

Can.

Written by Erin on January 27, 2010 – 9:45 am

These are totally cheesy but I’m loving the current Progresso soup tv spots. This is my favorite.

You can check out the others here, here, and here.

Love the traditional media aspect but I really wish there was some sort of digital or offline integration. There is potential….somewhere in there. What could you see being done with these soup cans?

I don’t get this new ad for Jameson…did he kill the Octopus? Did his crew die?

How did he survive for “weeks” diving for his whiskey? Can’t he just make more?

This spot doesn’t make me want whiskey…I just want answers!
