I was watching a little TV today and one of the most spectacular commercials I’ve ever seen came on! It’s so awesome I just had to share it.
And now I’m going to go out and buy some Jameson whiskey because the commercial worked!

Everyone loves a nicely trimmed lawn. Personally, I’m a fan of John Deere tractors. But it seems the ladies in this commercial prefer to use a Wilkinson razor? Wouldn’t that take a long time? I guess I just don’t get it…

Karen R. passed this little gem to me the other day, and she came into my office at work and was like… “you have to check out the extreme sheep herding!” I was like, “WTF?” But she was like, “just open the link I sent you.”
So, without having any idea of what the heck to expect, I blindly did as I was told, and was then rewarded for my faith with the following amazing video of… sheep herding. Enjoy!

Got this little tip from MC Hammer over on Twitter…
Pittsburgh has got some crazy DJs over on the 96.1 Kiss Morning Freak Show named Mikey and Big Bob who put out a little diddy called “In a Snuggie”. Wait, don’t tell me you don’t know what a Snuggie is! It’s one of those blankets that has arms sewn into it that some crazy guy is advertising on national television and probably making millions off of!
Anyway, here is the new and improved version of Snuggie propeganda thanks to old Mikey and Big Bob. Enjoy!

This little gem comes courtesy of Jamie Harrop, whose Twitter stream I follow.
In this Heineken commercial a young couple is obviously showing off their new house. And it looks like everyone got exactly what they wanted. Now, that’s a housewarming party!

Sony created an absolutely visually stunning commercial to feature their Bravia flat panel technology which involves tons of colored explosions painting a building and the surrounding scene. Even in this tiny little screen it is really cool, but I can only imagine how it would look on a big TV in high definition.
By the way, if you haven’t seen the Sony Bravia Play Doh Rabbits Commercial, make sure and watch it too…
The only shame is that Sony isn’t still running the Web site that is mentioned at the end of the video. That is unbelievable, because clearly these viral videos are still doing their jobs, but they are no longer able to track the effects. Pity. Enjoy!

Wow! This is pretty amazing. I came across some old detergent ads on YouTube, and started comparing them to the most recent ads. The funny thing is, they’ve been saying the same thing for about 60 years! They just change it up a little bit.
Oh, and my favorite one is the Fab detergent commercial from 1952. Talk about some sexist comments! If I said that today, my wife would kick my ass!

This commercial is great. What would you do if you were the last man on Earth? Everywhere you go, every woman drools over you!
First of all, I think you’d be under protective custody as an extremely valuable asset of the state… but it doesn’t matter, because this commercial doesn’t end the way you are expecting it to!

Wow. That was a long title for this post. Possibly my longest ever. But you know what? This one deserves it. Now, the emotional part of me that really loves Tommy Boy wanted to call this the worst Microsoft commercial ever. But clearly it isn’t worse than the current reigning gem. Still, it is a travesty of justice.
To make matters worse, this one doesn’t just star some terribly bad actors. It actually has Microsoft executives in it – including CEO Steve Balmer! So, go ahead and check it out. And may God have mercy on their souls.

So, let me make sure I have this straight… if you just line your house with Asbestos drywall and roofs, and then paint it with lead based paint, you’ll have a beautiful home to raise all those little mutant kids in!
Riiight. Oh, did I forget to mention that this video was filmed in the 1950’s. Yeah, that was a little before we discovered that Asbestos might be durable, but it’s also highly toxic!

For anyone sensitive to plane crashes, you won’t find this funny… but for everyone else, the surprise ending on this commercial will make you laugh.
This one apparently comes from a European travel agency. Enjoy.

You guys know by now that I enjoy a good commercial. Well, my friend Karen S. sent me this one and it’s great. I don’t want to give a lot away before you give it a look, but the ingredients for this ad are:
