Will Ferrell Semi-Pro Trailer ~ the ‘clean’ version
In case you’re wondering if you’re ready to give up some of your privacy to see the adult version of the Semi-Pro movie trailer that I mentioned in the Super Bowl ad post, I leave you with this image from the clean version:
And the folks in Virginia Beach were all upset about the Abercrombie posters?
Will Ferrell as Flint Tropics’ Jackie Moon in latest Super Bowl Ad for Bud Light
Will Ferrell had one of the few notable commercials from the Super Bowl. He stars as Jackie Moon, the "Owner/Player/Coach" of the Flint Tropics:
Notice the hot uniform he’s wearing? That is presumably the anti-paradise town of Flint, Michigan (ranked as the 3rd most miserable city in the country by Forbes). So why not call ourselves [...]
Hawaii Chair ~ absolutely ridiculous (or is it?)
Back in November, we talked about the "Hula Chair" found in the SkyMall catalog. Well, now the motorized version of the chair called the "Hawaii Chair" from a company called Perfect USA is making buzz around the Internets. I have to say that it makes the Hula Chair look like a rocking horse in a [...]
Smile Train ~ Tropical Charity
When it comes to heart-warming charities whose impact is immediately obvious with two simple photos, it doesn’t get any better than The Smile Train. They are "The World’s Leading Cleft Charity."
It’s an amazing cause, but I’m worried a bit that they’re using the same tropical-address-label fundraising efforts as everybody else (click to enlarge):
Yes, these are [...]
Planet Green ~ levitating at the beach
The people over at Discovery Communications LLC have come up with a novel concept. It’s called floating above the sand on the beach to avoid the microbes:
You wouldn’t want to borrow the resort’s beach towels anyway.
This banner was on the home page of the blog TreeHugger linking to their environmental sister site Planet Green. Does [...]
VW ~ Oceanside car breakup
This too-hip guy decides that he would rather drive a new VW Beetle than keep his old car:
…so he leaves it in a parking lot by the sea. What a loser. Poor car.
It’s a good reason to not buy an VW.
Guinness Life of a Dot
The little dot could be anything, even the Eden or the submarine you’ll see in this advertisement…
Instead, it chose to be a pint of Guinness.
This reminds me of the hula hoop in the Hudsucker Proxy movie.
By way of Duncan’s TV Ad Land, which has more information and full stats on the ad.
DeLorean ~ okay, so you have gull-wing doors
It’s one thing to refer to "gull-wing doors" on your automobile. Nobody really thinks of a seagull when you say it, but they know what you mean. So, is the demise of the DeLorean such a huge shocker when you see the literal seagull images plastered all over this ad:
It’s a classic car and a [...]
Corelle dinnerware ~ the harshest paradisiacal conditions
This ad has nothing to do with the product:
Yes, it’s Corelle glass dinnerware. And it looks like it was discarded into the great floating trash abyss in the Pacific. And does anybody really think of this type of underwater coral/fish scene as "the harshest conditions"?
This one came from the January/February issue of Elle Decor page [...]
Arizona ~ Daily Seizure from Repetitive Waterfalls
Arizona has been pushing this Seize the Day tourism waterfall ad:
This image is remarkably similar to ever other couple-traveling-and-visiting-a-waterfall ad. Like this Hawaiian version. Or there’s this shower ad that is missing the couple; presumably they’re in the shower instead.
This waterfall is quite beautiful, but this photo doesn’t really tell the story of Arizona [...]
