Um, but climbing that mountain? Yeah, that involves having to leave my house... so, uh... I'll just stick to telling you about them, here.
These are my two picks for current commercials that are not terrible...
GEICO - Tiny House
Geico commercials are what Energizer Bunny commercials USED to be, back in the early 90's or whenever that was. While I do think some of them are cheesy, some are just beyond brilliant. They start out by making you think you're watching a commercial for something else, only to have you jerked back at the end by someone going, "I just saved a bunch of money on car insurance!" blah blah blah. Their latest one is a reality show spoof, complete with a voiceover by a guy who sounds like he really is that announcer guy who did the stupid Joe Millionaire promos, etc. Sadly, the funniest thing about this commercial is probably the fact that it really COULD be a legitimate reality show. I mean, you've seen what kind of crap makes it onto the air... Tiny House could be next!
DR. PEPPER - I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE
This one's just goofy, but it makes me smile. It features two people in a seemingly happy relationship. The guy does embarrassing things for his girlfriend because aw, it's love. Like he'll stand in line to buy tampons for her or whatever. But when she goes after his can of Dr. Pepper one night while they're cuddling? Forget it! He jumps off the couch with lightning speed (which is funny in itself)... but then he bolts out the door (casting a frightened look back at her) and RUNS down the street, clutching his can of Dr. Pepper! Ha. It really says a lot... like, you know, never compromise yourself for a relationship. And, oh yeah, Dr. Pepper is extremely awesome.
Wow, it feels weird to be saying nice things about commercials for once. Don't worry... I won't do this too often.
