NFL Ad Rundown
A couple football related commercials jumped out at me today while I was watching the games. The credit card ad with Tom Brady at dinner with a date and his metaphorical offensive line was amusing the first couple times, but got kind of old by the end of the day. I wonder if the five linemen are actually on the Patriots OL? It’d be cool if they are since that would mean they’re getting in on a little bit of the endorsement money that Tom Brady’s rolling in these days.
The other ad that I actually enjoyed was the Burger King commercial with the King magically integrated into some footage of an actual Bill’s game. Former Bills quarterback Drew Bledsoe throws a pass and it deflects into the air off a receiver’s hands. The King grabs it for an interception and then flys up the field into the endzone for a touchdown. Way better use of their mascot than that “creepy ad”:http://axodys.com/2005/04/13/creepy they were showing not that long ago.
[...] Besides the open letter Peter has a ton of interesting tidbits in this weeks MMQB as usual. The one I especially enjoyed was his review of the Burger King commercial that I mentioned yesterday: The funniest commercial in recent NFL history is the Burger King spot with the Burger King guy intercepting Drew Bledsoe, taking it to the house and doing the cocky jig in the end zone. Whoever thought of that one deserves a little extra dough in the paycheck this week. tags: burgerking football neworleans nfl saints tombenson peterking [...]
