I didn’t see Harry Potter and the End of a Cash Cow Part II this weekend, but apparently in some theaters this ad was shown:
It’s a vast improvement over less fresh Summer’s Eve commercials:
It’s your move Massengill. Time to take this campaign…
…into the future:
I originally saw this kid’s spoof of Rebecca Black’s Friday, and his speech impediment was off-putting. This video is clever enough that I could ignore that.
His choices are what make this work because they are not easy attempts at humor. For easy attempts at humor, check out the two videos below this one (or this blog on a regular basis):
Boobs are a national treasure (the fleshy globules, not the idiots), and they should be treated and protected and respected (?) as so. That’s why today’s Awesome Battle is a collection of products aimed at cleaving away negative aspects of having cleavage, I guess, if there is such a thing. Perhaps it should be an Awful Battle based upon the products being showcased, but what was I saying again…?
…and that’s probably because it wasn’t a drunken treat.
But I was told this while I was drunk, and I believed my friend. Moooostly because of the aforementioned boozing and unfamiliarity with the product.
Still, who thought marketing juice boxes to adults was a great idea?
Probably the same people who thought using Richard Lewis in the commercials was the bee’s knees.
(Or Richard Lewis’ hair stylist, amiright?)
I’ve written about the Gregory Brothers/Schmoyoho before, plus who hasn’t heard the Bed Intruder or Double Rainbow Song yet?
This is their latest:
Here’s the original for good measure:
But the question remains – this girl can’t be real, can she?
Leave it to this curious (as a cat) news guy to get to the bottom (feeder) of it:
Sure, it takes some of the catnip of Can’t Hug Every Cat, but it’s still a fancy feast (sorry for that stretch).
If you squint your ears just a bit, Neil Young’s The Needle and the Damage Done, which is this song…
…sounds just a bit like Jewel’s You Were Meant For Me, which is this song:
It should also be noted that both songs are about addiction… Jewel’s addiction is only slightly more pathetic. Gah…
(SIDENOTE: I don’t really like Neil Young, but I like Jimmy Fallon’s impersonation of him.)
(BONUS SIDENOTE: Jewel’s covered that song.)
By now, Old Spice commercials have become iconic. Whether Bruce Campbell croons Hungry Like the Wolf to a gaggle of ladies, Terry Crews punches words, or Isaiah Mustafa performs in-camera tricks, everyone has a good scents if it’s one of their ads or not.
(SIDENOTE: Somehow all Target commercials accomplish the same thing.)
I don’t watch a lot of commercials these days, but I have seen some that made me raise my unibrow eyebrows. Apparently Dairy Queen has been running this odd campaign for some time now, but it does beg the question… Coinkydink or Coinkydonk?
(SIDENOTE: Another question begged… will DQ singlehandedly bring back the moustache?)
I was going to make this list based solely on the discovery of Frank Zappa’s Bobby Brown (Goes Down), but alas, it is not about this guy:
This was the key to Whitney Houston's crack pipe...
Even still, I thought it would be fun anyway to collect (More Than) A Handful Of… Songs Named After Famous People. Enjoy, or care less, which I will do in tandem with you.
(SIDENOTE: Obviously, this is not all of the songs named after famous people. I almost put Falco’s Rock Me Amadeus, Herman’s Hermits’ I’m Henry the Eighth, I Am and Kim Carnes’ Bette Davis Eyes, but their titles contain ancillary words.)
Their skin tones don't match.
My sister was recently listening to this song on Sirius XM and it suddenly occurred to her that Coldplay’s front man, Chris Martin, kinda sounds like Randy Newman.
Here’s the song in question, Everything’s Not Lost:
Now here’s Randy Newman’s Losing You (ha!) from Toy Story 3:
My concern over her revelation is that the two will be forever connected in my mind, like that picture above. Just like when I realized Shakira sings a lot like Kermit the Frog…
Their skin tones don't match, either.
I caught a portion of this story on CNN one night while I was at the bar (where else would I be). And there’s tons tens of videos of this “couple” on YouTube (unfortunately a lot of them are mocking the lovebirds):
Sightings of them walking along roadsides in New York are so common, they even have a Facebook page.
What’s amazing to me is that he’s been devoted to her for 25 years, and she hasn’t changed a bit.
