Better than the Superbowl

February 9th, 2005

So, since I was very disappointed in this years superbowl commercials (save Ameriquest’s Cat Killer ad), I’ve decided to post “ads that you should have seen instead of the Superbowl!”

Target. Always fun to watch. Their most recent “Design for All” ad explores the concept of design. (Anyone know the name of the company that does their ads?)

Volkswagen. Car commercials typically tend to suck. But Volkswagen’s Golf GTI ad is a gem. Interpretation across Zeitgeists always entertain/fascinate me.

Honda. This Rube Goldburg- and the Way Things Go-inspired Cog ad is absolutely delightful.

And then of course there’s your usual slew of iPod and Absolut ads which all share that up-beat, quickly cut, new-wave type of ad which I find a pretty piquing reflection of current times / art.
