HP Advertisement, Finger Skilz

This ad was also highlight on the same site that I talked about yesterday. It's another classic, that includes a whole series of these Finger Skilz videos. You can find more at www.fingerskilz.tv Enjoy!

The Escalator

This funny escalator commercial is a classic, and has been used as an example in some marketing courses. I was reminded of this video by Baekdal.com's article of 7 Viral Marketing Tricks. The list included several other classics I have featured on this site including the Smirnoff Raw Tea and the Dove Evolution advertisements that I have highlighted in the past.



I felt it would work better with just a slight rearrangement of the text placement, but I'm picky. Your thoughts?

Super Bowl Commercial: Budweiser Clydesdales

I was slightly disappointed in this Budweiser commercial. Budweiser has a high standard that they have set in previous years, as I have posted about before (see more about the Clydesdales Here). This year did not live up to that standard in my opinion.

Super Bowl Commercials: Google

Google is not a prolific television advertiser, but they did feature one ad in this years superbowl. This ad was actually posted on youtube in November and has over a million views already.



This was a very cute commercial that made me go awwwwww...

Super Bowl Commercial: Denny's Free Breakfast

Denny's is at it again, offering a free breakfast on Tuesday Morning which they just advertised in the Super Bowl. Overall, a decent commercial with screaming chickens.



Edit:

And there is a follow up commercial to the Denny's SuperBowl offering. Call it Screaming Chickens Pt. 2 if you will.

Super Bowl Commercials: Monster.com

The second commercial hit of the evening, judging by the giggles and hoots and hollers around the house, is the Monster.com Fiddling Beaver Commercial. Just like the Doritos Commercial, it is silly, family-friendly, and actually promotes the product / service.



Edit:
I also noticed this morning that Monster is building off of its Super Bowl Momentum with a web ad campaign as well. I saw this one on Pandora, the internet radio station.

Super Bowl Commercials: Doritos Slap

So far, out of the Super Bowl Commercials, there are some hits, and there are some flops. One of the favorites so far in my household, is the Doritos Slap commercial. If you missed it, check it out here:



I did not feel that the second Doritos commercial was nearly as good as the first one.
