When we got our ‘sample’ bottle of 42 Below here in the office, we thought it’d be a good idea to put some of this whopping tons of snow to good use! What are you gonna do with yours?

The Best Super Bowl Commercials

Posted by Mark Schoneveld on February 2nd, 2009. Categories: Fun | 2 Comments »

Thanks goodness for our friends at Hulu. They’ve posted all of the Super Bowl spots we missed while taking bathroom breaks and going for more chip dip. I certainly enjoyed several of this year’s crop of spots. Here are some of my top picks. Which were your favorites?

This one for CareerBuilder is just too weird for words. I love it. Probably my favorite. But I’m funny like that.

I would be chagrinned not to point out one of the several amazing Doritos ads. These were the finalists for the ‘Crash the Super Bowl‘ commercial contest they run every year. Certainly some high-quality stuff in here. Big productions, well written. Impressive! This is the First Place winner this year [UPDATE: it's official, these guys won the $1,000,000 for being the favorite commercial of the Super Bowl]:

The Monsters vs Aliens trailer was pretty radical, especially since one of my buddies had the foresight to grab a bunch of 3D glasses before the game! wOOt!

Toyota’s fire tower was incredible. What a great product demonstration. NOT consumer generated, obviously. But, wow!

And of course, Hulu’s own commercial ranks up there. After all, I’m a huge 30 Rock fan.

Let us know which spots grabbed your fancy! Any of them inspire new ideas? Let’s hear about it.

Conan’s Commercial Contest

Posted by Mark Schoneveld on June 9th, 2008. Categories: Fun | 5 Comments »

We’re excited about the blossoming trends in consumer-generated advertising (after all, that’s why we’re here, workin’ hard for you guys!), so it’s great to see Conan O’Brian throwing his own video contest. Well, okay, he’s lampooning it, but hey, it could happen!

[Thanks, NewTeeVee]
