So... any reaction from the rest of you HT'ers?

I wonder how the Mililani High School Trojan sports teams are going to handle the taunting this year on the field... "Eh, brah, feels like nothing's there!!"

I don't know the brand name, but it's for male enhancement. There's a catchy whistling tune in the background, and 'Smiling Bob' with a huge grin on his face.[...]

Enzyte! And, yes, I have a legitimate, professional reason for knowing that!

Re: National TV Ads You Like

well, THAT certainly calls for more of an explanation...............

Re: National TV Ads You Like

I knew someone would blather about that!!!!!!!

Last year I cast a local fast food commercial and the specs for the hero character asked for him to look and act like a local version of Enzyte Bob. I was emailed the specs with no hint of who the heck Enzyte Bob was...nuthin'! Google to the rescue and, well, that new found info fell under the "I learn something new everyday" category! Then...I had to get those specs out to the talent agents! And...I had to explain the character to all the guys who auditioned. No need, tho'...they already knew! Silly, but fun, audition.

In a way, I think this ad is kind of funny, but part of me is like, "no ack, brah!"

So... any reaction from the rest of you HT'ers?

I saw this ad on the Spike TV channel during an airing of Ultimate Fighter. The program itself carries a PG-13 rating, so it's not as if the commercial was shown alongside an age inappropriate show.

Of course, I'm going along with the idea that it is appropriate for teenagers to be exposed to condom commercials. No doubt the Sarah Palin types who believe in the effectiveness of abstinence education will disagree with me.

The Arby's commerical where the end of school year is shown and the students and the faculty all head over to Arby's.

Prius ad, where the car drives along and the landscape turns into people in grass, flower, etc. costume. Cool.

The making of that commercial is fascinating. Hope this Facebook link works for you non-FBers.

Still get a kick out of the Petigree commerical where Oliver gets a home. He's in the pound at the beginning, then gets adopted and is shown going nuts- running all over the yard, in a laundry basket, cuddling with his new owner. And there's happy music. Totally love that one, even if it's old.

Not sure this rubber cement commercial is a national ad...might be foreign. Regardless, I love it. The casting and the facial reactions are spot on. So cute.

Jason and I totally crack up over the "Roosevelts Buyback" Taco Bell commercial. You know, the one where they're making fun of rap videos and throwing around dimes. Except then the song gets stuck in my head and I'm singing it for the next few hours.

Is that the commercial where a kitchen employee is greasing his hair with a burger patty? If so...EEEEEEWWWWWWWW!

I can just see the ad agency's creative team sitting around a table conceptualizing this spot. They're probably young, hip, edgy and the table is in some bar down the elevator from their office!

No it is not. The commerical starts with an external shot of school building, the bell rings and two groups of people rush out from the school, going to cars and they all drive to one place, which is Arby's. No food is shown n the commerical.

Thanks, Helen. Sounds like I'll like that spot much, much better than the one I mentioned earlier. That one's just, plain gross!
