Burger King has UrHo all in a tizzy. Mike wrote about their new breakfast monstrosity on Digest. I'm freaking out about their bizarro ads.
First....
They bring back this weird creepy awesome dude from the 70s, which I was pretty into.
Then...
They have this guy all dressed up and singing "Big Rock Candy Mountain" with lyrics about the Bacon Chedder thingy jib and this amazing fantasy ranch. Pretty rad ad.
My only point being....McDude's or other fast good dudes would never do ads like these.
I wonder if will work for BK?
I found some sort of Paintball Championship for a paintball league on some deep Fox Sports channel. All of the commercials were for paintball guns, and they were pretty extreme. One of the commercial had all this bleeped out swearing. It was so weird. Who knew these things existed. Commercials on TV for paintball guns!?!?
Even though I have Replay TV and try to not watch any commercials sometimes I see a few and most of them are terrible, but here are a few good recent ones:
SegaSports ESPN NFL Football and ESPN NHL Hockey games with Tracy Morgan: these are hilarious. Tracy is challenging sports stars (Warren Sapp and Jeremy Roenick) to play. Tracy is being so awkward and weird, and the camera work, and cuts are really weird. The performance are stilted and strange. VERY Good stuff. Especially the ones with Sapp.
Juicyfruit new flavors Grapermelon and Strappleberry: These guys in an office sorta battling over this gum, but they are trying to camouflage into the office. Guys keep on popping out of file cabinets and windows and stuff. Good.
MTV show Made: The VH1 promos and MTV ads and stuff keep getting better and better with their design and stuff, but last night I saw one that took it to an amazing new level. It's so hard to explain. It was all spray painted sharp lines and pinks and greens and electro music. It sorta sounds cliche, but it's really amazing. Does anyone know how I would find out who made this commercial??
This is not an endorsement for the products, just the ads.
