Superb Owl Commercials

[filkertom]

All right here. I highly recommend the lovely (and surprisingly controversial) Coca-Cola spot "America the Beautiful", the Budweiser one with the puppy, the SodaStream one for sheer prurience, the Jaguar one for your British bad guy fix, and the faux ad for Monsanto.

Which are your favorites?

Given that I mostly succeeded in ignoring the game and the ads, the only ones I've seen are the two you mentioned plus the Radio Shack "The 80's called..." ad.

All were good in their own way.

The Budweiser "puppy love" commercial turned me into a puddle of goo, of course. I loved Gracie in the Cheerios commercial, too.

I really liked the Coca-Cola commercial, but I expected the Usual Suspects to go ballistic over the "un-American" languages in it. ::rolls eyes::

The Chrysler commercial featuring Bob Dylan irked me because of the "let the Germans make your beer and the Swiss make your watch", because there's an American watch company that set up right here in Detroit and created some jobs. Yo, Chrysler, it's not just car companies that need American consumers to Buy American.

You mean the Usual Suspects who speak in thick accents and are the ones carrying misspelled protest signs?

[maiac]

Whether they have "thick accents" depends on whether the hearer is from the same linguistic region or not. But yeah, the Usual Suspects who are as ignorant of American Standard English as they are of history and the Constitution.

I was more thinking about the way they talk on national news programs, at least before cable. The ways that don't put an "a" in "Boston" or have a large number of drawls or minimizes the use of local slang as examples.

It seems the trailer for "Winter Soldier" isn't up there. Odd.

The Chrysler commercial irked me because it's not an American company anymore. Fiat owns it. As evidenced by the fact that their checks are cut in the Italian corporate headquarters.

I'd rather see "buy local" or at least "shop local" to support smaller businesses. It's hard to do given the advantages chains have to buy in bulk.

I can sure see how some folks would be up in arms (as it were) over the Coke spot, but I thought it was lovely. The Budweiser made me tear up, and the Monsanto made me giggle and giggle! That one didn't actually air, did it?
