TV Commercials

[9A]

Have you seen the amusing commercial series for Uber Eats with Elton John and Lil Nas X? If you watch any TV at all, you had to have seen some. They are guaranteed to make you smile.

We have also enjoyed the music behind the Applebee's restaurant ads.
The past one with everyone dancing was the best.

Here is an example of an Applebee's ad, "Fancy Like":

Catchy, isn't it?


From Wikipedia:


Charles Edgar Walker Hayes is an American country music singer and songwriter. He has charted four singles on Hot Country Songs and has released two albums. Hayes has recorded for both Capitol Records and Monument Records, with his breakthrough chart entry being "You Broke Up with Me", from his 2017 album Boom. [B]His biggest hit to date, "Fancy Like," was a number one from July 2021 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart.

Fun thread! My partner and I howl at this one every time [especially at the last guy]:

Sans, that is a funny one!!

Here's a clip from today's "Sunday Morning" on CBS:

Walker Hayes on his "Fancy Like" success

[ralpht]

one of the worst series is the Liberty Insurance series. Whatever ad agency the company uses to produce their commercials should be fired. A guy with an emu for a partner? Not to omit mentioning that "catchy little ditty some quartet repeats the word liberty four times. Yeah, they laid out a load for that one.

[Jerry Oz]

Sadly, the Limu Emu And Doug commercials are the best that Liberty Mutual airs. The ones that show the Statue Of Liberty in the background while wAcKy HiJiNx ensue on the boardwalk are easily the worst commercials of the past 40 years. Not only are they unfunny, they barely mention the company and seldom suggest any benefit from partnering with it. They're matched by General Insurance for how unprofessional they are, but at least the General tells you they've been a quality insurance company for nearly 60 years.

[arr&bee]

Hey wait a minute here. Ralph if emu quits that poor guy who's his sidekick might not get another acting job,emu is carrying the poor guy.

[9A]

We have become masterful at recording our regular shows, like Jeopardy.
We begin watching the recording a sufficient amount of time later and
speeding through the commercials. Some shows or streaming networks
will not allow speeding through commercials. There is always the mute
button.

[ralpht]

R&B, I know the guy is just an actor, but he irritates the hell out of me.

[Jerry Oz]

Too many commercials focus on branding without actually selling the product. Most are horrible because I can't remember what the product is after I stop laughing at them. Following is an example of a commercial that I find hilarious but when I sought it to add to this thread, I completely forgot which beer it was marketing:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUrloq4X7F0
It's one of my favorite commercials from an entertainment standpoint, but it misses the whole point of advertising by assuming that the viewer is paying attention to the beer that the young man is buying.

[9A]

Another good one is an ad for Alexa, with a couple slow dancing to
"I Only Have Eyes For You" by the Flamingos [1959] -- then and now.

Very sweet.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uf5cIGDo7jc

[9A]

Since none of you folks watch any TV, I'll add another commercial I like.
The Lincoln Aviator ad is well done. With the song "It's a Most Unusual Day" [1948],
it swings.

Here is Comcast/Xfinity's promo of the animated movie "Sing 2."


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uic3FIIUekE

One of the our favorite Christmas songs "Christmas [Baby Please Come Home.]"

Angie and her family are getting ready to watch "The Moon Theater Christmas Special," but first Angie needs to get home in a snowstorm -- and without her phone. When she runs out of gas, Angie treks through the storm to find help and accidentally bursts upon Buster Moon and the whole "Sing 2" troupe rehearsing for the special. To thank her for helping to patch up one of their performers [and because they're a man down], Moon invites Angie to sing along with them on stage. While her family may miss her at home, they wouldn't miss her performing Darlene Love's "Christmas "

"Sing 2" is rated PG and hits theaters on Christmas.

From a list of bad ads --

Song: My Way by Frank Sinatra

"There’s something about an athlete singing his swan song that’s completely depressing. Frank Sinatra’s crooning voice on “My Way” is a sad reminder that Derek Jeter’s game-changing career is coming to an end. He might not need that sip of Gatorade anymore, so it’s weird for the sports drink to advertise an athlete coming out of his prime."

Friends, have you noticed that What a Wonderful World is currently being used in
three different commercials, none of which uses the Louie Armstrong version?
Maybe we watch too much TV.

My favorite was used in a Vanguard Commercial with a father and daughter finding
a flower growing in a crack of a sidewalk. It is sung by Dana Williams. Very nice.
This one was posted here on 12/18/2021.

Another was used by Celebrity Cruises, and yet a third is in an ad for Save
The Elephants by the World Wildlife Fund [WWF].

'Hilltop' portrayed Coca-Cola as a "social catalyst that can bring people together, talk things over, and sometimes communications get better if you're just sitting over a bottle of Coke and looking people in the eye."

The song first aired on American radio on February 12, 1971.

In 1990, a follow-up to this commercial, called "Hilltop Reunion" and directed by Jeff Lovinger, aired during coverage of Super Bowl XXIV. It featured the original singers [[now adults) and their children, and culminated in a medley of this song and the then-current "Can't Beat the Real Thing" jingle.

Tina Turner & Jimmy Barnes recorded "The Best" in what has become one of rugby league's most iconic commercials.

Compliments of Wikipedia:

"James Dixon Barnes AO is a Scottish-born Australian rock singer. His career, both as a solo performer and as the lead vocalist with the rock band Cold Chisel, has made him one of the most popular and best-selling Australian music artists of all time.

"Barnes has achieved 15 solo number-one albums in Australia, more than any other artist. Additionally, Barnes achieved five more as the lead singer of Cold Chisel, bringing his combined sum to 20 number-one albums in Australia, comfortably eclipsing the Beatles [with 14], Madonna [12], Eminem and U2 [11]."

Official video 1982 by Men Without Hats

"In 1982, the pop music landscape was changing. Disco was on its way out, and New Wave had sprung up to take its place. This was by no means a smooth translation, and along with a new style of music came a new subculture and style of dancing. Instead of disco’s smooth two-step movements, New Wave fans started pogoing – jumping up and down to the music – and bouncers considered this act a danger to other dancers."

Interestingly, one of the Five Satins, and I´m not sure at which point in time, Sonny Sanders was a member of the group. In later years he would make his mark as an arranger and producer. He would, in 1964, produce ¨The Swinging Kind¨ backed with the future Northern Soul classic ¨All Alone¨ by The Sunliners, my old group.

In later years working as a piano tuner, I would twice tune for Liberace at Michigan amphitheater Meadow Brook in Rochester Hills, Michigan. I didn´t get to meet the guy, but I damned near threw my back out removing the candelabra from the piano.

“Forever": The Farmer’s Dog Super Bowl Commercial



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjlnjOMBCok


Lee Fields & The Expressions -- "Forever"
This commercial made my famously tearless wife cry. I'm the one who usually breaks up over things I see in movies. Or on TV. Or in songs. But a commercial?

[9A]

I love this commercial. I've been seeing the abbreviated version
on TV lately. One of our two dogs barks at dogs on TV. There are
a couple of other commercials for the holidays that are very touching.

[On to PM Phrazle ... ]

[Jerry Oz]

The holiday commercials that I can't stand are the There's-A-Luxury-Car-Outside-With-A-Bow-On-It variety. I mean, how rich do you have to be to purchase a car without needing your spouse's input on the finances? I especially think the one where the husband buys his wife a puppy and she "loves" it before whistles and somebody flies out of the woods in a $70,000 pickup truck is a hoot.

Talk about two different Americas...

By the way, is Liberty Mutual finally retiring their Limu Emu and Doug commercials? I know you said Ralph hates them but it looks like they're gone.

By the way, is Liberty Mutual finally retiring their Limu Emu and Doug commercials? I know you said Ralph hates them but it looks like they're gone.



We still see them, with a baby grand piano and a replacement for Doug.
The Liberty Mutual ad, with all the dogs, drives us crazy.
Also, why doesn't the Jardiance dancer ever lose any weight? Not a good
representative for the product.

He is best known for his albums in the 1960s and 1970s, such as Mother Earth's Plantasia [1976]. He also co-wrote several hit songs, including "Our Day Will Come", a hit for Ruby & the Romantics. According to Allmusic, "Mort Garson boasts one of the most unique and outright bizarre resumés in popular music, spanning from easy listening to occult-influenced space-age electronic pop."

The actual Mercedes ad was on TV prior to Christmas 2023, but is proprietary
on YouTube.


Interestingly, one of the Five Satins, and I´m not sure at which point in time, Sonny Sanders was a member of the group. In later years he would make his mark as an arranger and producer. He would, in 1964, produce ¨The Swinging Kind¨ backed with the future Northern Soul classic ¨All Alone¨ by The Sunliners, my old group.

In later years working as a piano tuner, I would twice tune for Liberace at Michigan amphitheater Meadow Brook in Rochester Hills, Michigan. I didn´t get to meet the guy, but I damned near threw my back out removing the candelabra from the piano.

'Lovely treatment of the popular standard which had been composed in 1938 for the failed stage musical “Right This Way” but lay mostly dormant until 1944 when America discovered it in a big way, turning it into one of WWII’s most memorable ballad hits.'
