A great ad for this prestigious University started by none other than Glenn Beck, who is certifiably crazy.

Clearly there has been a giant response to their first commercials involving a horse and the next one that ends with a motorcycle, and now they are thanking everyone for their positive response here and with the below video. Monocle smile FTW.

Hello ladies how are you fantastic = officially my new greeting for everyone. Old Spice is doing one hell of a job putting together som entertaining viral ads, chalk this one up as one of my favorites along with their intense ads. I would also like to request someone get me a hot tub with a motorcycle in it.

Dumbdumb, the production company started by Will Arnett and Jason Bateman has put out their first set of branded content for Orbitz gum. They do a great job of pushing the envelope while highlighting the brand, Rickey Van Veen who founded Collegehumor gave a talk highlighting how to create quality viral branded content and I think these guys hit the nail on the head.
Now that the Mac vs. PC ads are finally coming to an end, it might be nice to look back and reflect on how much they actually over used this advertising campaign, or not, if you find the ads frighteningly annoying. I enjoyed the video, and will be happy to see the end of the campaign, even though it definitely had its moments, such as when they had Gisele Bundchen in one, and the many spoofs it spawned like the PS3 vs. Wii (Warning, a hot girl plays the Wii). By the way, if you didn’t already know, John Hodgman, the guy who plays the PC, is actually a Mac user since 1984.

And ridiculously hard to watch. Don’t let this video fool you because it starts out with the boring City Manager trying to plead his case, this thing really gets rocking, and the whole town gets into it! I honestly only got about a minute in before I needed to take a break from the over the top corniness. You’ve got to wait til the end for the real winner in this video though…

It seems more and more Google is putting out ads to try and define itself. For a company with such a broad scope it is hard to think about them as just search these days. John Battelle argues Google is much more and entering a new realm with opposition to Apple with the Nexus One and Microsoft with Google Docs. As this video highlights most people can’t even name what a browser is, let alone which one they use, so it is understandable Chrome is in need of some face time.
I thought this horse was dead long ago, but they continue to beat it.

You have to love the intensity of ex-NFL player Terry Crews in these Old Spice commercials. I like them even more than the half horse guy Isaiah Mustafa (also an ex-NFL player) who happened to appear on Ellen recently. Terry also will be appearing the Stomp the Yard 2 – GET EXCITED!
