Most of you will start to read this blog & immediately turn away because of my topic…COMMERCIALS! AHHHHH! Yes, those 30 second spots that I hate to love. Now don’t get me wrong, there are some out there that I hope to never see again, but some are amazing…really amazing.
I could go on and on about how I think commercials are important for marketing — even if I may not watch them all the time — but don’t worry, I won’t! I just compiled a few of my favorite commercials (recent ones) and thought you guys would enjoy! So please do! 
Since the holidays are coming up, I’ll start with the Korbel commercials. Love it ALL. The song…the simplicity…the way it makes my mouth water…yum!
Another holiday fav…the Gap commercials! This one is a little old, but I just LOVE the song. I even bought the sweater that year!
Ok, now I can not get enough of the E*Trade baby. I love all their commercials, but this one keeps me laughing even after the commercial is over.
The new American Express commercials are by FAR my favorite commercial out there at the moment. Great idea & great execution. I can just imagine the creative team scouting out little faces in their day-to-day lives. You know some guy was in the shower when the curtain smiled at him & he got the idea! It’s just too great of a commercial & I’ve been spreading the word all over the place about it. I even make people be quite when it comes on!
Now this commercial stirred up some controversy and was pulled from being shown on a lot of stations. But again, great idea & excellent execution.
We’ve all seen it and this commercial needs no explanation. Go Dove!
Ok, Subway finally got it right. This series cracks me up! I couldn’t find their other versions, but the girl busting the raft in the pool is just awesome.
And I guess I can wrap things up now, so here is one last one…the latest Apple commercial. I just love Justin Long! The Apple commercials even inspired my Halloween costume last year (don’t ask questions). Watch all commercials here: http://www.apple.com/getamac/ads/
As you can see, I was not happy about having to be the PC! I had to walk around all night saying “And I’m a PC” after Edward!
Now these are just a few of my favorite commercials, so feel free to post some of yours!
*UPDATE*
I don’t know how I could forget this commercial because I stop & watch it everytime it comes one. I also sing along…The doggy dream sequence is my favorite part!
Thanks to Stuart who reminded me!
Another favorite that I can’t believe I forgot…Travelocity’s Roaming Gnome commercials! I love this little guy!
And of course, the Bing commercials…
…and the Direct TV ones. It’s amazing what they can do with technology now-a-days!
GREAT Costumes. I see Edward as more of the PC though.
Lindsay-
I’m disappointed that the Traveler’s Insurance commercial “Trouble” didn’t make it. I think it’s one of the best ones out there.
