I don't know if it plays in Alberta, but there's a good ad in BC where this chick goes to a travel agent, who suggests Brazil or Mexico, and she starts daydreaming about being on the beach, dancing with some shirtless Fabiotype.
Then she gets told the price, and has to change her daydream to Edmonton, where she daydreams being on a snowy street, dancing with some ugly in a toque.
I don't know if anyone else caught the FSN broadcast of the Flames/Blues game last night but there was an AWESOME indie commercial on for some billiard hall/tavern (Pink's Gazebo or something, I can't remember).
Anyway, so it opens with a shot of a girl lining up a shot on a pool table - and there's like some nice porn music playing, and the camera ever so inconspicuously pans down as the girl gets her shot ready... slowly... slowly... and then, right as her whole ass is now filling the screen she takes her shot and the words "NICE SHOT!" explode onto the screen.
I have not spontaneously LOLd that hard for a long time. (some of these other American ads are pretty good, too - but maybe that's cuz I don't have to see them ad nauseum)
I kind of like the new Panago commercial, not because it's really great or anything, but just because fat boy doesn't say a word during it. He just whistles a Christmas tune throughout. The lack of voice over is great.
Oilersfan, That Sirius commercial is great. My other favourite current commercial is the Canon one with the football scenes in it. Sorry, can't offer up a better explanation than that at the moment. Here it is:
