Cranky Ad Guy: Creating tension.
http://crankyadguy.blogspot.com/2011/11/creating-tension.html
Tuesday, November 8, 2011. It's hard to do a lot of things in a 30-second spot, but this commercial for AT&T is brilliant. It starts out by creating a strong feeling of (humorous) tension in an office environment, and never let up. Awesome. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Good copy. good promotion.

Cranky Ad Guy: What's wrong with this picture?
http://crankyadguy.blogspot.com/2011/11/whats-wrong-with-this-picture.html
Tuesday, November 1, 2011. What's wrong with this picture? Fun commercial, but:. Flight attendants don't ask how you're doing if you already have a beer in your hand. They don't serve you alcohol when you look that "relaxed.". They don't serve glass bottles on a flight. Still, these little nitpicks aside, the overall campaign continues to be strong.

Cranky Ad Guy: March 2011
http://crankyadguy.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 30, 2011. Shhhh It's this month's most annoying commercial. Monday, March 28, 2011. Hardee's does it again. No one has more politically incorrect fun than Hardee's. Note to Juke advertisers: here's how you do it without being creepy. I'm pretty damn sure the entire male population now knows Hardee's has a Turkey Burger. And that, my friends, IS their target audience. Just shy of brilliant. Thursday, March 24, 2011. Still, if they had taken an outrageous photo. Labels: Lord and Taylor.

Cranky Ad Guy: August 2011
http://crankyadguy.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 29, 2011. Simple commercials are always the best. I never get tired of watching this one. It's a spot every parent can relate to. Friday, August 19, 2011. Monday, August 8, 2011. Best use of an almost curse word to gain attention. It stops me every time I hear it. Shut the front door. Tuesday, August 2, 2011. Guinness has a little fun with its product.

Cranky Ad Guy: September 2011
http://crankyadguy.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 14, 2011. Toyota stops being defensive, starts being brilliant. You can tell exactly who the target audience is in these spots for Toyota, which makes them a home run. These have the look of a leader ignoring recent troubles and moving on. Friday, September 9, 2011. The power of imagination. Funny, how your mind puts all the pieces together in this spot for Geico. That's precisely why it's funny. Thursday, September 1, 2011. Well, it almost worked. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Monday, October 17, 2011. Maryland having fun with its own branding. Love 'em or hate 'em, Maryland's new football uniforms certainly command attention.
