The Bottom Rung

Between flying home to Toronto for the weekend and week full of midterms and assignments, I’m going to be a very busy bee. I’ll start to post again next week I promise!

Just in from Adverblog, apparently Sony has just released a fourth bravia commercial. This one has me a bit confused as Playdoh just came out last week! Man, those guys sure have a lot of money…Anyway, I really enjoy the song in this one and the visuals are just as simple as they were with the Balls Commercial. Since this is supposedly a local Egyptian version created by Y&R, we won’t be seeing this on TV anytime soon.

The first time I saw this picture, I thought it was either a “best caption wins” contest or a good photoshop job. Alas, it is neither.

Cialis along with many other companies are now making a foray into doctor’s office advertising. Since Americans don’t get enough medically related advertising on networks like FOX and CNN, this should be a very lucrative media placement option. I know agencies will love it because now they can finally knock off Facebook from their hot new media option list and replace it with this masterpiece.

I have a feeling this specific example came directly from Cialis as it is a great example of make the logo bigger, or in this case show nothing but the logo.

From Autoblog comes Toyota’s new commercial for their Toyota Tacoma. Apparently it aired this past Sunday during football but I can’t independently confirm that.

I can’t say I’ve ever seen a commercial like this before, nor can I explain why Toyota would be trying to sell pickups to computer nerds the world over… However, it’s pretty funny none the less.

It’s a creative play off the World of Warcraft culture and it’s funny because the nerds get so upset that he spawned a truck in the game. He really pwned that dragon LOL!!!!!!!!

Update: I’ve only ever seen the Toyota Loch Ness version of this ad. However, this one is also awesome.
