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.
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.
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.

I can’t definitely hear my niece and nephew singing this one. On repeat. All day. Until they rewarded with ice cream cake.
If you don’t like this Old Spice spot you probably don’t have a soul.
My top secvn 2010 superbowl ad favorites. Probably more automotive than other lists, but they were good spots and I have a soft spot in my heart for automotive accounts.
Kia
Intel
aww sad robot 
Budlight
Dove Men
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?
Yes its one word, ok. And its my new plan in life. I want a hamster farm. To raise little hamster who roll arond on the piano, who can chew pencils who can ride around in little Kia’s and who can star in ads for the Minnesota State Lottery.
Yes thats 3:33 of hamster spots. They made seven spots. SEVEN. What do you think the hamster day rate is for being on set? Do I get a cut if they come from my HamsterFarm (see all one word)?
I’m not entirely sure this makes me want to run out a buy a lotto ticket so much as I want to go buy hamsters, but maybe I’d buy a hamster and then buy it a lotto ticket, so I guess ultimately they’ve convinced me to buy into the lotto.
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!
I LOVE these new spots from VisitLasVegas.com that asks “What’s your excuse?” to visit Las Vegas.
