Youtube has all of them up. My favorite was the Audi Prom ad. Closely followed by the VW Jamican white guy ad. Oh and "Leon Sandcastle" was good too.
I liked this one... [video]http://www.youtube.com/adblitz?feature=inp-lt-adb[/video] and this one really creeped me out, with the sound and everything... [video]http://www.youtube.com/adblitz?feature=inp-lt-adb[/video]
1. Budweiser "Brotherhood" 2. Taco Bell "Viva Young" 3. Ram Trucks "God Made a Farmer" 4. Audi "Prom." (Dis)honorable mention: The Jeep "Whole Again" ad would've been great without the annoying, redundant, self-important Oprah voiceover. I would love to see a cut with just the images and the music.
That RAM one was annoying as hell. So was the shameless Jeep one. Bring on the flaming for hating the Jeep commercial.
I won't flame you for hating on the Jeep commercial, but you're the only person I've encountered who didn't like the Ram spot.
Go Daddy (nerd vs super model) commercial was great. Although, did they need to zoom in? Goat... Doritos... Father dressing up with friends... great.. Samsung, the pitch? I thought it was real bad.
You're the first I've seen that actually liked the Ram spot. Though we're talking about it, so, I guess it was a success

That commercial was pandering fellatio to a workforce that gets waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more credit then they deserve and is also a romantic dream of a bygone era. Frankly, I'm sick of farmers giving themselves this self importance. Their job is important but not anymore so than teachers or firemen or doctors, etc. Every time I see a bumper sticker or slogan that demands I, "Thank a farmer", I want to ask why they need thanks when they get paid...and substantial subsidies. Even if I'm wrong, and farmer's should be the most revered and respected of all workers in the US, then what we're left with is a heartfelt and honorable poem...that was perverted and bastardized to sell trucks. I weep for any generation that succumbs to such forced and obvious sentiment.
Its not cynicism. Look at the state of farming today. Its nothing like the commercial and others try to tell us. Its big expensive equipment, with genetically engineered crops where the bulk of what manual labor is left is done by illegal aliens who get zero respect. Don't even get me started on the horror show of factory farms with their numerous atrocities to people and animals. Again, way to many people were hardcore manipulated by that commercial. The worst part about it, this revered commercial was thought up by people just like me, to convince people to buy a truck. Its false sentiment and worse than that, it replaces genuine respect and admiration for its subject matter with a 2 minute focus group created pandering commercial.
My love for the commercial has very little to do with my opinion of farmers and/or farming and everything to do with my love of strong photography and the use of Paul Harvey.
My favorite moment with the Taco Bell ad was wondering the whole time why "We Are Young" was in Spanish, then going "Aha!" when it was revealed it was a Taco Bell ad. Also the Kyle McLachlan cameo, which I've seen NO ONE comment on yet.
Fellas check the 'banned' skittles commercial.... That would hands down win if people were not hypocritical prudes
I'm one for ridiculous humor so I liked the Hyundai, Assemble Your Team commercial the best. I mean, leg choking a bear? That's awesome and funny at the same time. I would have liked the Oreos one more if I felt like they hadn't ripped off their schtick from The Other Guys.
People who thought the VW ad was racist are in for a shock if they ever hear Idris Elba speak naturally.
Yeah, I liked the dodge ad for one reason and one reason alone, and that's the fact that I really really really miss Paul Harvey and it was good hearing his voice again. "And now you know...the rest of the story. I'm Paul HaaaarVEY."
