  Over on The Cutter Rambles, I began talking about this AOL commercial, and I realized it deserved some Ad Pundit-style analysis: I give AOL credit for acknowledging how most people felt about getting those CDs in the mail.  But deep down, do...

  Burger King has launched a new ad campaign.  It takes place at a fictional Burger King and introduces a bunch of new products that are only on the menu on a temporary basis. Sounds simple enough, right? That's when the strategy takes a bi...
• World of Red Bull

• Hyundai Santa Fe - Team
  on Feb 7, 2013 in Team commercials X-Men Super Bowl Charles Xavier 2013 Hyundai

  Before the big game, I wanted to give you one last retro Super Bowl ad.  This one is from 2002 and features Jason Alexander. Alexander stops by a Super Bowl party, and comments on how lackluster it is. Well isn't he just Johnny Party...

  on Feb 1, 2013 in spelling 1986 IBM Retro commercials Super Bowl Terminator Super Bowl Retro Week We're Your Type
  Sometimes when looking back at these ads from the past, I find it difficult to interpret them correctly.  While some of them might seem quite dated now, I'm sure they felt modern at the time. So when reviewing this IBM ad from 1986, I tried to...
