There is a commercial for, I think Xfinity's X-1 entertainment package that I find brilliantly done. There is some average Joe/ Jane walking through an average day, and everyone around is talking in total gibberish. I guess the point is that if you can't keep up with all the latest shows you don't know what everyone is talking about. What I love about it is how well the gibberish speakers deliver their lines. Every time I hear the commercial I spend the first half of it trying to figure out what they're saying because their speech rhythms and inflection are so normal. Whoever directed that commercial deserves a special award.

OMG, the new commercial for Progressive with the creepy mannequin is going to make it difficult for me to sleep tonight. It is terrifying.

I wonder why Progressive thought that would be a good idea, especially with the ads for the horror movie about the doll also running right now. I race for the remote whenever the evil doll thing comes on!
Jeff Goldblum is in a fun new ad for light bulbs. Why can't more ads be clever like that?

I don't understand the new KIA ad (with Maroon 5 threatening to hunt me down and eat me): 1) Using hamsters makes me think of hamster balls; why would you compare your car to a hamster powered vehicles? 2) Why the sexy girl hamster? Hamsters and sexy seem mutually exclusive. It was successful in making me want to watch Hammy Hamster again, so it had that going for it.

I just saw an internet commercial for BP (something about Alaska, blahblahblah) and the spox for BP was named Janet Weiss. Seriously? It took all my self control not to yell "Bitch!" at the screen.
"You'd better wise up, Janet Weiss!"

A commercial for Blue Cross Blue Shield has a woman talking to her baby about selecting a "girl" doctor. As in, a doctor who is a girl, not a doctor who treats girls. Ughhghg.

The new GAP commercial campaign is kind of lame. It's like they're totally trying too hard. Oooo, black and white. Sooo edgy.
