The future was then...1979 Commercial Where Cars Were Built by Robots

While this might be a yawn by today's standards, as robotics is commonplace in many manufacturing processes, keep in mind this commercial was made over 34 years ago,  pre "Terminator" with its predictions five years later in the movie that Skynet will take over the world 8/4/1997.

"Open Your Mouth"

This is a new ad campaign for Miracle Whip done in the "We Are The World" spoof with multi-generational and former stars from different genres asking you to open your mouth for Miracle Whip.

Tiffany (80's pop singer), Lance Bass (Late 90's-early 00's pop boy band NSYNC), Wynonna Judd('80's Country), The Village People (70's Dance), Susan Boyle (00's "Britan's Got Talent" contestant) and a few others I am not sure of...the homeless looking dude conducting sort of looks like Joaquin Phoenix and the older short guy might be John Williams, 70's songwriter/actor/singer.

All I can say is watch at your own risk.   There is something screechy and a bit creepy about it with the sort of double entendre with Lance Bass and the Village People.  If I hadn't gone to the Miracle Whip site, I would have no idea what they were promoting...maybe a fundraiser to help aging singers?

 I have to admit the only reason I watched this was to get a $1 coupon on Miracle Whip on Facebook and was not happy when it was over and the option to print the coupon never popped: I guess they ran out..

I love Miracle Whip, used to eat it by the teaspoonful as a kid, and nothing against any of the singers who individually sound ok but in this video is just a hodge podge hot mess.  Sort of like when you are a kid and their is a soda machine with a dozen or so different drinks and you put a little of each in your glass and it tastes awful.  They nicknamed that a "Suicide for a reason my friends and apply that same concept to an ad campaign in this case to me is the same thing.  

I wish they would have invested their promotional money instead giving out coupons than paying a dozen or so former 'it" singers and given out more $1 off coupons.

Messin' With Sasquatch - Towel Whip

http://www.jacklinks.com/My son must have spent a good hour watching all of the "Messin With Sasquatch" commercials that are advertisements for Jack Links Beef Jerky, which all feature sophomoric pranks pulled on Sasquatch by people who allegedly come across him and how he seeks his revenge.  This one seemed to be my son's favorite.

While mildly amusing and unique, I don't know if the gimmicky advertising is actually successful because it really doesn't tell you much about the product itself - it only associates it with the campy humor that more target males in the 15-35 range.

If you want to see more "Messin With Sasquatch" there are many posted over at Youtube and you can click here

"That's Not What Your Girlfriend Says!" - Snickerz Commercial with Betty White

Probably everybody and his brother has seen this commercial, but it is one of our fav's and we always chuckle when mild-mannered old lady Betty White utters them in the commercial.
