I saw on youtube that this XBOX commercial won a Clio Award in 2008, so I decided I should watch. Unfortunately, I have never played Halo before so I was VERY confused throughout the whole thing, until I had someone explain a little bit about what was going on. Despite that I still do not really know what's going on in the ad, I can see why it won that award. The scenery is so murky and creepy and the man in the ad plays the part extremely well.

This print ad for Nature Valley Fruit Chips is very aimed toward the target market. Generally, people that eat fruit chips want to know that they are a natural snack and all the prints in this campaign show the snack in such light. Not only does it look natural and healthy, it is simple and easy to understand.

This commercial shows how helpful the company is with accommodating it's customers, which is extremely important with a shop that is solely ran online. However, I did not like it at all. Is there anyone who likes looking at people puppets? They're scary!! I understand why they would want to do more than just having to people talk on the phone, but they should have come up with a better idea. I think that two regular humans on the phone with each other would have been a much better alternative.

Snapple has always taken the approach of claiming to have the "best stuff" in there drinks. This is the first ad I have seen that they made very comedic. When seeing the peach at the beginning waiting to be examined while wearing a hospital gown, I knew it was going to be a great spot. The other very funny part is the play on random drug testing with the "random preservative testing". They showed many things in a humorous way, but also made a good point regarding the quality of their product. I thought it was a very successful campaign and it is now my favorite Snapple ad.

I like this because I think the monster looking chip bag IS scary and also because I think it's completely ironic that this is a Dunkin Donut ad. It would be different I think if Jamba Juice or Smoothie King advertised there smoothies this way, because for the most part all the food/snacks sold there are relatively healthy. However, looking around in the Dunkin Donut case you can find a plethora of very scary snacks. In all fairness, the smoothie is probably the healthiest thing they have going for them, but still I find it amusing they would say actually say that in their ad.

A fish driving a car AND being chased by the cops. Yeah, this is brilliant. It successfully attracts the target audience because people that love fishing (like myself), think it's hilarious seeing fish doing things crazy things. In addition to that, after seeing this I'm sure it attracts people to want to go and lure in a bad fish that has ran from the cops. Right?


Lowe

I had no idea that Lowe made these commercials until doing a little research. I've seen them before and thought they were so funny. I love how they created this idea that this mustard is a "finer pleasure". The best part is the guy's face that is being driven in the black Rolls Royce, when asked by the guy riding in the other Rolls if he has any Grey Poupon. He gives him this look that looks like "of course i do.. what planet are you from?!?" This ad is CLASSIC.

First seeing this print ad I was confused, but once I read the tagline "milks favorite cookie", it made perfect sense. I think it is so clever for them to show that oreos are so dunkable that they wear snorkel gear. For some reason whenever I see animals or objects (in this case food) in people clothes I think it's the funniest/greatest thing ever! So, for people that know me choosing the goofiest Oreo picture is not a surprise.




TM Advertising

I feel that even though this spot is so silly, we can all relate to being in some weird situation away from home and wanting to jump on the next flight back. In these situation you are most likely to be with relatives or co-workers. Overall I thought this ad was very entertaining and most recent American Airlines spots I have seen have not been funny like this one, so I thought it was a good move for them to give us something to laugh about.



McCann Erickson San Francisco

Where would we all be right now if we didn't have Microsoft software? It is used EVERYWHERE and imagining how we would ever manage going through school without the Microsoft tools like Word, Powerpoint, Excel, is crazy. I think that this print ad is trying to say that Microsoft provides us with tools that help express our idea and let us succeed, in whatever it is that we want to pursue.


The Martin Agency

I have always loved the Geico Gecko spots, it is my favorite ad that Geico does by far ( WAY better than the cavemen). The whole idea of a Gecco business man with an Australian accent is hilarious, and this is just one of many of his spots that I love watching. This one in particular is not even focusing on a service of the insurance, instead a ringtone! That's is how awesome the gecko has become, he can talk about something unrelated to the product and it's still great.
