In a galaxy far far away, Volkswagen gathered a dozen dogs to bark out a song we all know very well. The twelve pups did the Star Wars theme in a way that has never been done before and should never be done again because the force was with this ad. Just arfdorable!!!
So what do dogs barking the John Williams song have to do with selling cars? Here is what the automobile manufacture posted with the ad on YouTube, “A canine chorus barks a familiar tune. Keep an eye out for our 2012 Game Day commercial—it will all make sense. Love Star Wars and Volkswagen? Create an Intergalactic Invite to your Big Game party here: http://vw.com/star-wars-invite.” Intrigued I am.
BTW it is very rare that a commercial comes on TV and makes me look up and replay it over and over, but that exactly what this ad did. Seriously doesn’t it make you want to howl at the moon?
So I was sitting watching the Hallmark Channel this weekend for Forever Lazy came on. For some reason I stopped what I was doing and paid attention to the commercial and I am so happy I did because half way through they had a line that made me laugh.
Forever Lazy is basically The Snuggie made into PJs, so what happens if you have to go to the bathroom when you are in it. Well here is the they described it in the ad, “Gotta go? No worries, Forever Lazy has zippered hatches in front and in back for great escapes when duty calls.” They said when duty calls and that made me laugh out loud. I know it is childish of me, but that line never gets old even if you do!!!
BTW is it wrong for me to want a Forever Lazy because it actually looks comfortable. That and I can answer answer the call when “duty calls”!
We can all sleep a little bit more soundly tonight because Burger King has retired their creepy mascot. According to USA Today they are opting to get rid of him to focus on moms and a healthier menu. I don’t care what the reason is, as long he is gone.
Seriously I grew up with horror movies and that creepy Burger King gave me nightmares. I don’t know how he survived as long as he did. Maybe he wasn’t only scary to me, but he also scared the crap out of the people who could get rid of him so much so they kept him alive until now.
Long die the Burger King!
So if you were one of the million people who went to see the final Harry Potter movie this weekend, then you probably saw this ad and were like was that really an advertisement for that? Well if you are like me and waiting until next week to see the movie, then sit back, watch this commercial and be shocked by what it is for! It left me speechless.
Bravo to the people who created the ad because it definitely will get the name of the product in there, I mean out there! Seriously brilliant!!!
XOXO Kevin Van Hook!!!
For some reason the first McDonalds ad was on the front of page of YouTube, so I had to check it out. What I saw from the ad that made its debut on June 27, 1962 shocked me. Seriously it is amazing that the fast food restaurant is as huge as it is after that ad. I even think that that version of Ronald McDonald is scarier than the newest version of the Burger King King and I never that would be possible.
