Tube Tuesdays

Commercials found in this installment of Tube Tuesdays are commercials I can’t get enough of.  Some of these commercials launched during the Super Bowl, however, they are truly hilarious.  You can’t deny the humor in some of these clips and I am sure the recall on these commercials are pretty high with consumers.

M&M’S – I’m Sexy And I know It  – I smile every time I see this commercial; the red M&M is my favorite and he is quite courageous for getting naked at a party!!! But of course he is sexy and he knows it.  (Sidebar: Pop Music duo LMFAO is really banking off commercial success, i.e. the Kia Commercial with the dancing hamsters).

Chevy – Happy Grad – This kid is truly stoked and thought his grad present was a new Chevy…oops!

Geico – Ronald’s Karaoke Dating – I do love Karaoke, but not sure if this is how I would go about getting a date…

Doritios – Dead Cat Bribe –  I can’t say you can bribe me with Doritos to keep my mouth shut about a deceased cat the dog just killed (poor Fluffy), but this was one of my favorite consumer generated ads for Super Bowl XLVI 2012.

Geico – Rescue Panther – I’m all about home security, but it’s probably not the best way to get sleep with a panther hanging out on your dresser in your bedroom…

Bonus:

Direct TV has some interesting commercials of how your life can spiral down quickly to a sad situation. This TV campaign features examples of cause & effect at its best!  I can’t say I have been this upset about my cable but you know what, it can happen!

Direct TV:

Don’t get frustrated with your cable TV because you may end up with a grandson with a dog collar…weird but funny.

Paying too much for cable can cause Anger Issues which leads to taking in stray animals…oh boy!

Can’t find anything to watch on TV can cause you sell your hair to wig shop can it?

#Winning…not so much, don’t reenact scenes of Platoon with Charlie Sheen because you couldn’t find anything to watch on TV…

Tube Tuesdays

Tube Tuesdays returns for its second installment, highlighting funny or interesting & entertaining TV commercials that are on rotation currently.

Dairy Queen has a new campaign that has a tone similar to the Old Spice (“The Man You Could Smell Like”) Guy, where the theme is “We Don’t Stop At Good Enough”.  The ads are quite odd with a touch of cute humor. Too bad I don’t know of any DQ locations in NYC metro.

Guitar That Sounds Like A Dolphin

Magic Turn Around Pants

Bubbles – This melts my heart due to the adorable kittens.

Hiking

Walmart addresses the age old story of children getting their heads stuck in the staircase…what is the fascination with that anyhow? Nonetheless, WalMart reminds us that no matter what your needs are, you can always find everything you need even if  it includes items to get your child’s head out from between the bars of staircase .

Stuck

Lastly, I came across this odd commercial from BIC… focused on a new sport, Human Curling, well not actually a new sport; only a weird concept for the commercial.  Check out this interesting clip:

Tube Tuesdays!

Sometimes  during the weekend, I have some free time to watch TV (mostly DVR’d shows) and for the most part I fast forward through commercials. However,  if a commercial catches my attention, I actually rewind back to check it out.  I enjoy witty and funny commercials that may or may not be products that I am interested in as a consumer but they still capture my attention.  This post, is all about TV Ads that work at being entertaining and humorous.

Tube Tuesdays

There are two Orkin (Pest Control Services) commercials that are HILARIOUS!!  Normally anything that deals with vermin is totally repulsive, however, Orkin has found a way to make rats and insects humorous.

Rats Rocking Out on Guitar Hero:

This particular commercial has validated my reasons against online dating:

Sun Drop from the makers of Dr Pepper (a soda I have yet to try nor heard of) has just dropped a national TV commercial featuring music by Snoop Dogg with a girl ‘Dropping It Like It’s Hot’ all over town.  Pretty funny, yet awkward.

The Old Spice man never fails to convince women that their man should be wearing Old Spice Deodorant or Body Wash.  Old Spice has definitely come a long way from being an older gentleman’s aftershave!

Geico always asks the many questions we ponder day to day.  Though I still have not switched over to Geico for car insurance, their commercials make me laugh out loud! I truly enjoy when cute animals are personified.

Do Dogs Chase Cats?

In this TV ad, the Aflac duck is popping, locking and battling a pigeon all while comparing medical insurance coverage.
