Random notes from the convergence of the internet and TV

Another Friday Fave
Saw this the other night, and on Adverganza today: very charming spot from Cutwater for the new Jeep Liberty. Talking animals and all.
The spot also gets major, major props for its appeal to a much broader audience than the usual hipsters, who, truth be told, will probably snub their noses at it.
I love ads with talking animals - they leave me with such a warm, fuzzy feeling. I saw the Canon Banter ad on your blog the other day and I was just thinking - I'm not going to forget these ads, ever!
@Arun: Lots of people like talking animals. They're funny and non-threatening. That's why you see so many of them in movies, books and TV commercials.
@Anonymous: Basically you're asking is it okay for Jeep to make a non-hybrid SUV? That's a discussion for an eco-blog. The topic here is did they make a good commercial for a car a lot of people still clearly want. Same way we can discuss a cigarette ad without actually broaching the topic of whether cigarettes are good for you.

ReplyDeleteis it cool for jeep, in 2007, to be encouraging people to stink up the great outdoors with their carbon-fuelled behemoths?
