I love the new Hulu spots
OK, they're not quite "new", but they are good. Alec Baldwin, Seth Macfarlane, and Eliza Dushku all take turns.
Clever, disruptive, and well-made spots for the #2 video site on all the interwebs. Not too shabby.
Video post: Recent TV Ads
There's been a lot of talk about TV ads over the last few weeks. I think there was some kind of popular sporting event where people like watching the ads. I did watch some of the Super Bowl ads, but nothing really struck me as all that interesting. The Sobe lizard ads have never been even remotely compelling to me...quite the opposite, my insticnt is to run for it. The entire series is just jagged and jarring, with zero flow or composition. The follow-up ads have been worse than that horrifying mashup of 3D that was on for the game.
I like the "tiny cowboys" spot for Jack in the Box, but the "hangintherejack.com" spots are just obnoxious. Trying to go a little too far with it, I think.
One spot that's been running for a while is the "two shampoos" spot for hotels.com. I thought it was the one really disruptive spot out of a series...they've been able to run it quite a lot without it losing it's appeal, so good job there.
