cute story poster

2010-11-20T21:14:00.000-06:00

just found out from entertainment weekly, with jake gyllenhaal and anne hathaway on the cover, that this poster from love and other drugs wasn't supposed to ever be seen by anyone outside of production. gyllenhaal, hathaway and director edward zwick were photographed for fun production stills throughout the movie. zwick was removed from this picture and it was used for the poster. ha.

knight and day

2010-11-20T16:50:00.000-06:00

serioulsly underrated movie

liked the first trailer

but liked the second one better

muse makes it better...
also won the summer 2010 golden trailer award

nope

2010-11-20T15:41:00.000-06:00

the switch, although earning a mere $27 million domestically, was actually highly underrated. the trailer was meh but the poster was awful.

really? that's it...?

the town

2010-11-20T15:38:00.002-06:00

never ended up seeing it but i loved the trailer

first of all glad for the comeback of ben affleck (despite what anyone else says) and as always love jon hamm. love the intensity of the trailer, depicts the story line very well and the music is perfect.

what's the story?

2010-11-17T18:55:00.000-06:00

so i love this trailer for morning glory with rachel mcadams, diane keaton (love) and harrison ford.

i don't care who you are, and i don't care if it is a chick flick... this is an awesome trailer. the music fits perfectly and even though they went the cheap route in using the same music and titles for the actual movie, it still fits perfectly.

scarlet letter

2010-11-15T15:56:00.001-06:00

so here's an example of a movie with a good trailer... but just doesn't do the movie justice. i thought easy a was incredibly well written with goofball comedy mixed with intelligence.

solsbury hill lol

2010-11-12T17:05:00.000-06:00

best trailer mashup

fail

2010-11-10T14:57:00.001-06:00

saw this red riding hood trailer...

and thought if i saw it a second time i'd see the point.
But i don't.

love the music but maybe just to listen to without the epic acting attached.
just because its directed by catherine hardwicke doesn't mean we needed to see a play off of twilight to be interested.
just... no.

conan promos

2010-11-07T15:13:00.008-06:00

basically love that conan is back!

exactly what his people love

whaa?

2010-11-07T13:37:00.000-06:00

so i can't tell if this is supposed to be intelligent... or really stupid...

verdict?

the facebook

2010-10-31T12:32:00.000-05:00

so when i first saw this trailer i immediately thought... i know i know that song! and then i figured out what it was and then realized how epic this trailer was.

its the most wonderful time of the year

2010-09-23T16:18:00.003-05:00

according to staples... that's the end of summer.

best part at 0:21.

Butt Dial

2009-02-01T00:12:00.000-06:00

Because we've all done it. Admit it.

Superbowl 2009

2009-01-31T23:54:00.002-06:00

More hilarious, crude and just plain awesome commercials coming soon.

For all you nostalgic ones, here's a classic Superbowl commercial:

VW makes fun...

2009-01-31T23:53:00.001-06:00

of itself.

Great new tongue-in-cheek commercial from V-Dub.

You Sure Kin'

2009-01-31T23:51:00.002-06:00

Dunkin' Donuts has a inspirational new commercial.
Well sort of:

You kin' do it.

The New Pepsi

2009-01-24T15:47:00.001-06:00

Like I've said before, I love the new Pepsi.

M and M Superbowl

2009-01-24T15:34:00.002-06:00

This is a new hilarious M & M superbowl commercial including Red and Yellow.

Enjoy.

the new pepsi

2009-01-04T06:16:00.002-06:00

The new marketing strategy for Pepsi is absolutely fabulous. I love the color, I love the warmth, I love the everything.

Here's their new ad:

And if you haven't noticed they now have chic new bottles that are simple and classic.

TBS Funniest Commercials 2008

2008-12-30T19:35:00.005-06:00

As I watch my recording of Funniest Commercials on TBS, I have to add a few.

Huggies:

Mini-Cooper:

HowStuffWorks.com:

Oldspice:

Wilkinson:

Bud Light:

Helzberg Diamonds

2008-12-20T18:05:00.002-06:00

Who knew a jewelry company could have funny ads rather than overly sentimental commercials. Don't get me wrong I love both, but the new 'Because You're Not That Guy' campaign from Helzberg Diamonds is great and hilarious.

Here are 3 ads:

Radio Shack Does North Pole

2008-12-20T17:43:00.001-06:00

I think this is just too cute. I'm sorry.

Levi's

2008-12-09T00:21:00.001-06:00

I love this Levi's ad. It's sexy and fun just like Levi's is. And if you look pass the blatant sexual appeal, it's pretty cute too.

American Express

2008-12-08T23:42:00.001-06:00

I just saw this commercial today so I guess its pretty new. I think I like it so much because of the Gwen Paltrow part but anyway a great commercial.

And this is a favorite classic, because of the great Jim Henson.

Arby's

2008-12-02T16:23:00.002-06:00

I've really never had Arby's before and I don't now only because I became a vegetarian last year, so I'm really not familiar with the place. What I do like is their funny new commercial completely filled with innuendo.

sexy.

Personal Trainer Chef

2008-11-29T01:57:00.001-06:00

I love this new Nintendo DS commercial just because Lisa Kudrow is in it. Blame me I know. But here's a new program for you DS'ers.

Joy to the Players

2008-11-29T00:16:00.003-06:00

"What the hell?" was my first thought when this commercial came on and by the zombie it just all made sense. Gamestop has come out with another holiday commercial that's funny, especially if you're into gaming.

Creepy Toys

2008-11-29T00:11:00.002-06:00

I guess some one at Mercedes never got the memo that moving toys are creepy and decided to approve this commercial. Here it is anyway...

Creepy no?

Jared

2008-11-29T00:04:00.002-06:00

'He went to Jared' is one of the most overused lines in commercials, so I'm very glad that Jared Jewelers has come up with something new and funny.

When all else fails, spoof an amazing movie, right?

Hint or Else

2008-11-27T02:32:00.002-06:00

This is the new GameStop commercial for the holiday season, I for one find it unbelievably funny. The mom's face is classic.

L.L. Bean

2008-11-25T11:30:00.001-06:00

This is the holiday commercial for LL Bean.
I only post it because I've loved this Fountains of Wayne song for about 4 years.

The song is called 'Valley Winter Song.'

Viral Marketing

2008-11-22T00:08:00.001-06:00

Since its been confirmed that this is in fact just a scheme, I'm officially allowed to post it as a commercial.
Here is the ever popular Bike Hero.

Dinosaurs.

2008-11-20T17:54:00.001-06:00

Here's a cute AT&T commercial about a mom in a pickle.

cheesy but i love the way she picks up and runs with the kid at the end.

Hallmark Merry Christmas

2008-11-18T16:54:00.002-06:00

So I was waiting for a video to show up somewhere on the web, but finally someone posted this cute Hallmark Christmas commercial on youtube. Its a bad video only because someone actually videotaped the TV.

sooo cute. I love the grandfather's face.

Old Volvo

2008-11-15T01:45:00.001-06:00

This commercial is definitely from last year, but I've just barely seen it.
Its creepy and a little unnecessary...

scary.

Love Rocks

2008-11-07T10:48:00.002-06:00

Zales new ad is cute and so very romantic.

song "Don't Forget Love" by Robert Francis

The things they come up with. Does any guy ever do that??

Gears of War

2008-11-06T20:17:00.003-06:00

In honor of Gears of War coming out within hours, I'm posting these two trailers that I happened to come across on TV. (By the way I have never played this game before, I only found out that it is in fact coming out 12am by research.)

Gears of War 2: The Last Day (song "How It Ends" by Devotchka)

Gears of War 2: Rendezvous

and just for kicks a trailer from the first Gears of War (song "Mad World" by Gary Jules)

Direct TV

2008-11-06T18:21:00.002-06:00

Personally I like the new Direct TV commercials that are out right now. You've seen them; the ones with the famous movies and the actors recreating the scenes.

This one is my favorite, just because I (although female) think that Christie Brinkley is still a stone cold fox.

video is kind of blurry:

Holiday Inn...

2008-11-02T01:05:00.002-05:00

this commercial just doesn't work for me. its weird and has absolutely nothing to do with Holiday Inn.

But I guess that was their point.

eh... no

PC- simply gratuitous

2008-11-01T20:58:00.001-05:00

just because I'm a PC

V Dub

2008-11-01T20:53:00.003-05:00

i like these cute Volkswagen commercials with Brooke Shields.
The mockumentary is pretty funny as well.

clearblue

2008-11-01T20:41:00.002-05:00

so many of you have seen this already.

i personally think its gross, but funny.
and its a little uncomfortable watching it with any men in the room.

but hey thats natural.

make a porno

2008-10-31T17:05:00.002-05:00

its ridiculous how restricted we are in America when it comes to sex. blood and guts everywhere but 'porno' has to be banned. sex (natural) vs. gore (death), yeah you want your kids watching SAW V instead but whatever.

Zach and Miri MAKE A PORNO
RED BAND TRAILER (warning explicit):

macy's, good all around

2008-10-31T16:53:00.001-05:00

so here are two commercials from Macy's.

This one is fairly new:

and here is a superbowl commercial:

vintage honda

2008-10-31T16:50:00.002-05:00

so this commercial from honda is from a few years ago but it doesn't take away the now proven fact that cars look like faces.

risky business

2008-10-31T16:44:00.005-05:00

okay kudos to my sister, VALERIE, for showing me this "super cute" commercial featuring alex rodriguez, tony hawk, michael phelps and kobe bryant for Guitar Hero.

here it is:

i agree, it is super cute

att

2008-10-31T01:12:00.005-05:00

so i love the new rollover family for the AT&T commercials.

MILKY MINUTES:

and here is the link for the sibling rivalry commercial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmIj7_0-1kg

and not to mention their classic "my bff rose" line in their old commercials... great stuff

progress is beautiful

2008-10-31T01:04:00.000-05:00

a very cool audi commercial.

2008-10-31T00:52:00.002-05:00

nov 4 one week.

kid tough

2008-10-31T00:33:00.003-05:00

i like this new fisher-price commercial because all kids drop their toys.
all kids.
so i like this aspect that fisher-price is going for:

makes it mom friendly and kid friendly. so very practical.

Sprite falling away

2008-10-30T16:23:00.002-05:00

this, although having nothing to do with Sprite, i love this commercial

song is 'falling away' by evermore
(ps its difficult to find so good luck trying)

mm's...

2008-10-30T16:02:00.004-05:00

MMs GONE BAD:

MMs GONE GOOD:

and their commercial featuring iron and wine's 'such great heights' is amazing

here it is:

its kind of an acid trip but the song is great.

HP touchsmart

2008-10-30T15:55:00.004-05:00

ok i'm a dell girl all the way

(don't judge)

so that also means i prefer pc
(don't judge)

but i looooove this HP TOUCHSMART PC:

and i love the song by joan jett and the blackhearts

memo to pepsi

2008-10-30T00:43:00.002-05:00

this:

would've been funnier 7 years ago... but i still love it.

i don't necessarily like the "WAKE UP PEOPLE"part but hey
CHRIS KATTAN!!

is it a SHAMwow?

2008-10-30T00:37:00.002-05:00

does this work??
i want one but don't want to waste money.

swear jar

2008-10-30T00:15:00.001-05:00

maybe most of you have seen this but i don't care. i love this commercial and it will forever stay in my youtube.com favorites.

ps- beer commercials... funny, well most.

australia

2008-10-30T00:06:00.005-05:00

okay, i can't let my love of movies not affect this blog so i HAD to include trailers
and if there is one you have to see, its Baz Lurhmann's AUSTRALIA.

It looks fantastic, and not just beccause I'm a girl, but its epic.

Here it is:

the first song is "the only moment we wore alone" by explosions in the sky
great song by a great band.

hugh jackman... i'm there

intro

2008-10-29T23:44:00.008-05:00

hey, this site is going to be fully devoted to commercials, songs in commercials, funny commercials, trailers for movies, annoying commercials... so on, so on.

if you have any that need mentioning... send them my way.

Now, for the first post I have a somewhat new commercial that I think needs recognizing.
chemistry.com has a what would be normal commercial for online dating websites that is circulating, BUT what makes it great is that its two gay men. and not to mention that these two gays are adorable together.

HERE IS THE COMMERCIAL:

kudos to them for making a necessary bold move.
