Sometimes I love commercials. This one had me falling off the couch.
The best part is when the voice over guy comes on and lists “crime deterrent” among the phone’s features with a totally straight expression.
And this one’s not funny, but it’s one of my favorite recent commercials. Okay, it’s mostly because I like that I’ve seen almost all of the films Kate Winslet is describing. And I like her accent. I=shallow.
If companies would make good, entertaining commercials all the time–commercials that people want to upload to YouTube and add to their favorites list and rewatch multiple times–they wouldn’t have so much of a problem with people fast-forwarding through the commercials on their DVRs. Advertisers, RIAA and MPAA: Quit putting so much effort into stopping people from using your content illegally (or not at all, in the case of ads) and redirect some of your efforts into making quality content.
