First Look: Twas The Jordan Knight Before Christmas

Here's Jordan Knight, Johnny Mathis, and Boyz II Men spreading holiday cheer hamming it up for Old Navy:



So let's just watch this one and try to pretend the one that knocks off Christmas Vacation never happened. How could you, Chevy?

Oh Snoop

Pocket like it's hot?

Here are Snoop and Andy Milonakis teaming up to get you to eat Hot Pockets.



But I could use a bike with a microwave on the back.

Axe Grows Up!

Fear No Susan Glenn?

Jean-Claude Van Damme Makes Some Mighty Fine Snow Angels

If this isn't the strangest commercial you see all day, you need to tell me what channel you're watching.

Don't Hassle The Hoff's German Cousin, Mr. Lean

You know, I'd probably watch Lifestyles Of The Freaky Furry Family.

A Flock Of Potato Chips

This is one of the better using-nostalgia-to-sell-you-stuff commercials I've seen in some time:

Rockin' The Super Bowl Commercials

Better Super Bowl Ad: Chevy vs. Suzuki

One day in the very near future (probably next year), people will no longer be able to claim they watch the Super Bowl for the commercials because we will have already seen them all a week prior on YouTube (or whatever hot video-serving application du jour).

First, the Chevrolet Sonic commercial:



And now, here's the Suzuki Kizashi commercial:



So who wins? Easy!

Despite the fact that Suzuki Kizashi is very fun to say, the Chevrolet Sonic commercial wins for three simple reasons:

a) skateboarding > sledding
b) OK Go > dogs (but just slightly)

and, most importantly

c) Fun. > 50 Cent

February 21st, y'all.

Damn You, Target!

They tricked me into discussing their ad on Culture Brats by exploiting my weaknesses: 8-bit graphics and Gwen Stefani (yowza!):
