Hump Day YouTube | Pre-Super Bowl Commercials

January 30th, 2008 · No Comments

So, the Super Bowl is this Sunday. I doubt it will be much of a game, although I would love to see the Giants win. But there will be commercials. There will be multi-million dollar commercials. And before the new ones hit, I thought I’d post a few of my favorites. To be clear, I hate the principal of our advertising and our commercials. Mainly because they perpetuate our addiction to consumption and the idea that, as an unnamed senator said on the senate floor yesterday, our job as citizens is to be “good consumers.” But nevertheless, some of them can be pretty funny.

I don’t normally laugh out loud at a lot of commercials, especially when I’m alone, but this one gets me every time. You gotta love some REO:



And this one is not too shabby either:
