WGN Puts the Suck in Succeed

WGN's morning anchorman Larry does funny promo that belittles other local Chicago news teams and ends with the motto that WGN puts the Suck in succeed.

Green Bay Packer's Greg Jennings Does an Old Spice Commercial

Jennings does an old spice commercial "mixing pleasure with business" he's in bed with his wife while running a route and catching a touchdown pass and stiff arming a defender... The spot ends with him serving breakfast in bed to his girl.

Invisible Mercedes Commercial

As Mercedes looks to create buzz around their new fuel cell vehicle, they did something incredibly dynamic. They layered the car with LED pixels on one side and cameras on the other side. The image that is shot from the cameras is displayed on the LED's, making the entire Mercedes look invisible. Truly amazing. I'm waiting for this commercial to go viral and get picked up by local morning news teams.

Stephen Colbert Super PAC commercial to vote for Herman Cain

Since Stephen Colbert can't get his name on the ballot, the SUPER PAC run by John Stewart is airing a commercial that is airing in South Carolina urging voters to vote for Herman Cain (Who has quit running) if they really want to vote for Stephen Colbert (who couldn't get his name on the ballot). I think it will be interesting to see if Herman Cain starts polling in 3rd or 4th place for the republican primary.

Colbert Super PAC ad attacks Mitt Romney

Stephen Colbert's Super PAC (A better tomorrow for America tomorrow), which is now run by Jon Stewart, has started airing advertisements in South Carolina. The PACs first ad attacks Mitt Romney and calls him "Mitt the ripper"... If you believe that corporations are people, and Mitt' experience at Bain Capital caused him to carve up companies (people) then vote for "Not Romney" in the coming election. I think it's funny, but the parody may be lost on most people.

Breckenridge Brewery Commercial

Craft Beer maker Breckenridge Brewery has a funny web-only commercial with the key point of "if you touch it and it's cold, then it's cold" concept. I'm guessing it's making fun of other beer companies that use color changing inks on their cans and labels.

McDonalds Commercial with Lebron James and Larry Bird

So as I'm sitting on the couch watching the NCAA men's basketball tournament, an interesting commercial comes on. McDonalds has a funny spot that features Lebron James and Dwight Howard making a wager where the winner gets to eat a McDonalds lunch and the loser has watch the other eat it.



As the bet plays out, the two put on a fantastic slam-dunk show and when Howard breaks the backboard, they look towards the seat to see Larry Bird finishing up the last fry in the bag.

Then they say, "Who's that?"

For my younger readers out there, Larry Bird is not only one of the best players to play the game---but he has also appeared in a few other interesting McDonald's commercial of yesteryear.
