Clairol Nice 'N' Easy's Guardian Whatever....First time I saw this, and I thought of Dave's Guru. They are both similar, except this Guardian is a woman. She is honest, straight to the point, and gives you the solution...just like.. Yep.
Angela Kinsey is THE guardian girlfriend - protecting your hair-do from a hair-don't. Adding highlights, shades, and the perfect color to make your hair totally glamorous. Kind of weird seeing her so upbeat, apart from her usually gloomy look, isn't it? She even came out in the end, with the extra "ding"-- "button".
Psst. Bloopers :P

It's calling me....
AdZone 2010!
Hulu has compiled some of the best ads of 2010 into a playlist conveniantely for us :) Sorry NetFlix, but I still think Hulu is better. Free and it has a cuter logo (besides the point..but still).
Just enjoy.
I'd love to sit here and just watch all of them, but I clicked on one. Google.
Loved it. A search engine story, it was just cute, and clever, and made me smile at the end, like an "aw" smile. Google and Bing have that story ad to promote their search engines, and I really think it works. It really shows how much Google works for searching just about anything. Oh and Bing -- I love the one with the guy asking this girl on a date. It grabbed my attention long enough to actually check out Bing. And I do use it...when Google isn't working for me, and when I want to just learn something a little extra without really looking for it...
(I can't find the Bing commercial)

Can you hear that?
Aired February 3rd, 2008, this commercial was aired for PepsiCo EnAble. Coincidentally, the two men that are in the car, are PepsiCo’s employees, and are deaf. The character that plays ‘Bob’, has worked for PepsiCo in Dallas for 27 years, but is not deaf. He got caught up in the deaf community through a church that his wife and himself attended, where the services were performed in sign language.
Clay Broussard, the manager at PepsiCo proposed the idea for this ad, He said “this is the PepsiCo flavor of that joke”.
The commercial itself introduces the hearing impaired culture to the community. Now think about it, you’re getting all excited and noisy when you watch the Super Bowl, volume to the max, when it’s a commercial break, and you don’t hear anything. How funny would it have been to see people checking to making sure they didn’t accidentally put their TV’s on mute? It might take someone a good 5 to 10 seconds to put the pieces together.
The commercial displays 2 guys on their way to their friend’s house to watch the Super Bowl, what do you know that the commercial has no sound, of course, because the whole point is the fact that they are deaf. Well on their way, they start arguing because they can’t find Bob’s house. So the one driving get’s an idea. He’ll honk the horn. While every house starts lighting up, one in the bunch reminds dark and motionless. Oh, they fond Bob’s house!
I have to honestly say I didn’t get it at first. I was thinking “Oh well how can they tell it’s his house?” then it hit me. They whole point of this commercial is to send awareness of the deaf community, and there I was missing the entire point. Sixty seconds of totally silence, is like an eternity to the never-ending noise of the Super Bowl, don’t you think? They used something so popular and common in deaf culture, and literally turned into an ad. That’s using your head.

Italian Flag Jap Girl say what?
The Japanese have a lot of strange things, and I think this is definitely one of them.
This ad appears to be a commercial for pizza or pizza flavored poky, which is a common snack among the Japanese. I don't understand what is going on, but it appears these 2 anorexic sumo wrestlers and a woman are dancing back and forth onto an Italian flag..And they are like, dancing steps in the middle of it, which they aren't even following. If you listen closely, it really sounds like they are yelling "Supreme Vagina", but according to the comments page, she is saying "Supreme Bonjourno" .. I feel bad for any Italian that sees this. If this is their way of selling pizza flavored snacks, then go ahead, but let's keep it PG.

Snickers satisifies
Snickers: A delicious, peanut, chocolate treat - now with peanut butter. It not only satisfies our taste buds, but those of any species.
Like, wow. I really loved the new approach on the focus group. Definitely not what I was expecting, but I did get to the conclusion a lot faster than I would have hoped. I thought Snickers was going about this in such an interesting way, I just wish it would have delayed the "Shark" reveal; kept me guessing. The way the sharks describe what the people tasted like, was not something I was quite impressed by. I think it could have been better, if it actually described more the chocolate versus peanut butter taste, and in the end give the big reveal of the two combined. It was just too obvious. However, its lack of interesting conversation, was replaced buy a focus group of sharks, in a most hilarious manner. Such a high level of imagination, and great animation.

William Shatner is my father
No, I'm really just kidding, but they sure do look alike.
A Star Trek fan approached my dad in Washington D.C. about 2 years ago, and the guy was like really happy. He went up to my dad, and after looking at him closely, he laughed and told my dad that he was very sorry, but that he looked exactly like William Shatner. All my dad could respond with was, "Who's William Shatner?". Mind you, I didn't know who he was either, until I Googled him, and told my dad he was an actor in Star Trek. All my dad could respond with was, "What's Star Trek?". Oh silly father.
So, Priceline....it offers discounted travel related things, like flights, hotels, cruises, etc. I saw this commercial and seriously LOL-ed. It went with that good and evil thing. Which, if you noticed, is like the "Mirror Universe" from Star Trek (I read up on some Star Trek). It's just really funny how it's William Shatner....because he is just one interesting character! Star Trek stars are taking over TV commercials!!
(no really - George Takei is the new pitchman for Sharp's Quattron TVs).
So this commercial has the evil twin telling this guy that he should take the $149 deal on a hotel, saying it's a really great deal, but then the good "real" Priceline Negotiator comes in, saving the day. He tells him to name his own Price at Priceline. It's not just me, but I've seen other people's comments on this commercial, and it really hit their funny bone. (Does that make sense?).
One thing that I noticed that kind of bugged me, was when the good twin comes in, and the "Priceline Negotiator" screen pops up, afterward, the transition back to the actor actually moving, is a little funky. Did you notice that?
Commercial directed by Steve Miller, provided by Radical Media.
Someone posted this image on a website, containing the commercial, I thought I'd share...because they were right, it totally matches the commercial:
OH! and here is a Priceline treat. You can watch the other Priceline commercials with William Shatner, as well as download Priceline wallpapers, buddy icons, and ring tones!

To finish, I want to share with you one of my dad's favorite actors. When I showed him this music video, he was amazed. Of course, I love the song as well.

Animals Have Souls
Like it says, animals have souls, and more that one human being I'd think. A soul is like that noble warm feeling in you. But humans, we're selfish, we don't appreciate this, and take advantage of weaker ones. What a way to go.
I found this ad, about how you shouldn't use animals for cosmetic testing. Why should they suffer for us. What did they ever do to deserve such treatment? This is their world, and we did nothing but screw it up; tear it apart.
Cute isn't it? Doggie scented.
This little guy just approved a bottle of whatever for your enjoyment.
Overall, I do like the ad. Using the dog as a little bottle, fresh doggie breath to make you smell...nice. It's cute, in a not so cute way.
