I Can't Believe I'm Posting About A Commercial, But...

[Whinerdiner]

I absolutely love the new Miracle Whip Commercials. They feature testimonials from B list celebs. and "regular" people saying how they don't like, and would never eat / date/ reproduce/ with anyone who uses Miracle Whip. These commercials are genius! They caught my attention immediately because I really can't stand it either. Then it turns out it's an ad FOR the product, urging viewers to get a sample and try it for themselves. That ad agency deserves a round of applause.

How often do you see a commercial that makes you smile? I might even buy a jar, just as a show of support. Of course, I'd never use it - just sayn'

[calliope_nh]

I like the Kit-Kat ad where they crunch the jingle with no words or music.

[hill food]

is anybody else digging the Heineken over-the-top Bollywood/chopsocky/Busby Berkeley ads?

[pdxgastro]

I saw the same exact ad in Italy. Talk about economical-shoot it once, show it in a thousand places! That's a shrewd ad agency. And the song is catchy.

[hill food]

cool cool super cool.

I agree - write it so any speech doesn't matter and ya can air it anywhere, very clever.

[TuteTibiImperes]

The Miracle Whip commercial is a bit catchy, but Miracle Whip is disgusting. It's a mayo substitute for people too white trash to appreciate real mayo. No commercial could make me want to actually buy it.

The Kraft mac&cheese commercials annoy me, especially the one with the little girl talking about being an expert at pushing her food around her plate. The only reaction I get is that she is an ungrateful little [expletive deleted on account of she's a kid].

The 'Most Interesting Man in the World' commercials are good. I find them entertaining, and Dos Equis isn't bad as macrobrews go. I would absolutely love to have the kitchen that he has in the commercial with the pet bobcat/lynx/whatever-the-heck-kind-of-giant-cat-that-is one.

[coney with everything]

Miracle Whip is one of those thing my mom always had but I never do--don't know why she didn't like mayo but she rarely had it in the fridge.

My current favorite is The Entrance from Heineken. I don't drink beer, but this commercial brings me to the TV every time it's on.

[Whinerdiner]

Love the pawn shop guy!

[goodhealthgourmet]

you know, i didn't even see that! i meant the one where the kid calls the cops on his dad.

[hill food]

I like the current DQ ad with the tagline "yes we're blowing bubbles, but bubbles with kittens inside"

[im_nomad]

ugh, sorry, but I hate those new DQ ads.

[mattstolz]

this. those commercials make me NOT want blizzards.

and trust me, that is a feat.

[hill food]

oh fine, I'll just crawl back into the cellar, curl up and die. I just liked the hopelessly sappy and treacly kittens in bubbles line, - coming from a guy who at this time last year claimed butterflies emerged from his ass in copious amounts (and they really did)

[The Drama Queen]

LMAO. So much for Miracle Whip.

[sasha1]

I love the Kahlua ads with the latina woman. Love the accent , and the over-the-top props and situations they use to milk that accent for all it's worth. Delicioso!

[im_nomad]

I love this Grand Marnier ad : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXz00v...

[kattyeyes]

Really cool! Here's one more I just saw tonight for the first time. You reminded me when you posted booze--the new one for JD Honey. Definitely grabs your attention! Or makes ya wanna put a good buzz on (HA HA HA HA, sorry, couldn't help myself)! :)

ETA: Inspired by your ad, I'm off to pour myself a French kiss for dessert.

[buttertart]

What's in a French kiss, kattykins?

[kattyeyes]

Irish cream 'n Grand Marnier. I use Amarula (or my own homemade), but same deal. >>^..^<<

[buttertart]

Hmm! sounds tasty indeed. 1:1?

[kattyeyes]

More cream than GM for this kat. Sweet dreams!

[buttertart]

Gotcha, thanks!

[iluvcookies]

Every time a Dos Equis commercial comes on, my DH says--in his best Ricardo Montalban impression--"Stay thirsty, my friend!", mocking the actor who plays "The Most Interseting Man in the World". And then we both crack up.

[Glam Foodie]

I like that one!

[Gastro Travels]

love the snickers commercial with the sharks - Steve was delicious!!

http://youtu.be/6e0Gsn4khss

[kattyeyes]

YES, love that bit about Steve!

I also dig the new Ortega commercial with the talking piñata ("C'mon, hit me, Marci!"), but I can't find a clip of it anywhere. Anyone? Anyone?

Oh, and though Hellmann's is my locally available mayo of choice--before I began "importing" Duke's (thanks, alkasis)--there is a special place in my heart for Miracle Whip and I do agree this is a clever commercial. "MIRACLE WHIP IS AMERICA!"

[mattstolz]

one of my favorite food commercials in a while now! laughed so hard

[srsone]

no im not....i taste nasty....

[kattyeyes]

LOLOL, better keep away from those new Snickers snacks, Steve-o!

[srsone]

i actually dont like snickers...so i dont have to worry about being eaten by sharks..
unless they start liking milky ways

[kattyeyes]

Maybe just stay away from chocolate altogether when you're near the ocean, buddy. ;)

[srsone]

kinda hard...because
1 i love chocolate...
2 i live in florida...surrounded by ocean on 3 sides

[kattyeyes]

Uh oh!

[Chemicalkinetics]

Gastro, you are awesome. I didn't know about this ads.

[Smorgasbord]

I was just commenting yesterday on how much I hated the Miracle Whip commercials. My dislike started with those hipster "we will not tone it down" ads a few months ago and culminated with the most recent ones- it's classic reverse psychology mixed with nods to internet dissing- "we'll insult ourselves first! And use flavour of the week celebs! People will think we're so edgy!" They're trying to create controversy where there is none- are flame wars really fought over mayo vs. MW? [especially when mayo is so obviously superior :) ] I respect the OP's opinion and think I may be in the minority in my views on this ad campaign; I'm just a cynical curmudgeon anyway

[srsone]

i liked the 5 gum adds ...those were/are pretty cool
