One of the funniest commercials I’ve seen yet. It’s a BK Commercial with the Nascar driver Tony Stewart, pitching the Whopper Jr. There’s some more great clips that you can watch, at bk.com, check them out.
And by the way, since when did Burger King sponsor a Nascar driver, man, I guess I’m out of the loop.

With the help of CP+B, Domino’s is launching the Super Big Taste Bailout Commercial. With all these bailouts we keep hearing about, the CEO’s driving their green cars to Washington D.C. asking for our money, finally, I think this CEO got it right. As he says in this video clip, he’s not asking for a bailout, but he’s giving us one.
We’ll, if you want to eat pizza every week for a year, then you’re in luck. Domino’s is launching this campaign, where you’ll have the chance to win the grand prize of free pizza for a year, and even better, delivered by Domino’s CEO, David Brandon.
If you don’t remember, David Brandon burned Subways Cease and Desist letter in a Domino’s commercial, stating”I was going to burn the letter, but every things better when it’s oven baked.”
With the integration of Facebook, you’ll have the option to select one, two, or any number of your friends to enter them and increase your chances of winning.
So if you’re all about eating pizza every week, and if you’re like me, broke, then checkout https://www.superbigtastebailout.com, and start submitting your friends.

So now it’s time for 7 year old Alexa to show her skills on Microsoft Vista. In the next commercial spot for the Rookies Campaign, Alexa is shown making a panoramic photo using Windows Live Photo Gallery, stitching together multiple photos and making a panorama of her fort. It’s a cute commercial, but I still think the Kylie was the best one yet.

Microsoft, with the help of CP+B, has launched the next phase of the advertising campaign known as Microsoft Rookies. Following the success and the initial campaign of I’m a PC, where PC lovers united by uploading videos and pictures of themselves, which could be seen on Times Square, and online ads, comes the Rookie. In the first commercial, a 4 and a half year old girl is shown transferring images to her PC, running some simple optimizations to correct the color, then e-mailing it to her family using Windows Live Photo Gallery.
The commercial was first shown Sunday night, during the 51st Grammy Awards.

Hulu, which is known for its large collection of movies that internet users can watch, anytime, for free, launched a commercial last night during the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl. The commercial featured Alec Baldwin, explaining the purpose of Hulu. Have to say, was one of the better commercials I watched during the Super Bowl.

Coke Zero launched its first ever Super Bowl Commercial during the 4th quarter of the XVIII Super Bowl. This marks not only a first for the Coke Zero Brand that started back in 2007 with the quirky ad campaign, where the Coca-Cola executives were so outrageous, that they actually were considering suing the Coke Zero department for “taste infringement”, to actually staying afloat in a market where all the industry experts forecast its failure and demise, and being able to run the first Coke Zero Super Bowl commercial is quite impressive.
Much of the hard work can handed over to the you know who, those crazy ad guys at Crispin Porter + Bogusky, and being able to pull this off. This 30 second spot is a remake of the 1980 commercial that had Mean Joe Greene. However, for the remake, they decided to use Troy Polamalu from the Pittsburgh Steelers.
What old time veterans can appreciate from this spot is the relationship to the “Mean Joe Green” Superbowl ad that ran in 1980 by Coca-Cola. Brings a nice little twist from Coke Zero,
Steal their taste, steal their commercial.

So Coke Zero just had a face lift on their site, located at http://www.cocacolazero.com/. I do have to say, that I actually like the first video commercial on the Coke Zero Videos page. It’s pretty funny. Also, looking from their home page, apparently, they’re going to be running a spot during the Super Bowl, we’ll have to see how the commercial turns out. [Read More]

So what do you do when Subway sends Domino’s a “Cease and Desist” letter, stating “PLEASE STOP RUNNING THESE ADS.” You simply give it to the CEO to burn it. We’ll, that’s at least what the Domino’s CEO, Dave Brandon’s did. In a response to the Subway letter, Dave Brandon was featured in a new Advertising commercial (created by Crispin Porter + Bogusky) that aired last night during American Idol.
