New Favorite Commercial: Jennifer Aniston Sex Tape
Now wait a second, don’t get all offended with the title of my post. This is actually a commercial for SmartWater and the company is calling it the Jennifer Aniston Sex Tape.
The ad starts oddly with a little kid lip-synching some song. If I were cool enough, I would know the name of the “song”….but I’m not, so there’s that. The video then moves on to the warm and fuzzy part showing a whole bunch of puppies. Cute! Then, inappropriate dancing babies….well, you’ll just need to see it to believe it. The best part might be when some Jen Aniston fan-boy gets kicked in his package – which is supposed to add “about a hundred thousand hits”. The Big Finale has Jen drinking from a bottle of SmartWater in slow motion which is a great ending, and a total crack up!
Oh, and the whole premise of the ad is; lets get a whole bunch of people to view the video and have it go “viral”, thus the caption “Jen Aniston sex tape”.
It’s kind of a great way for a company to get noticed; use famous person to feature product, use some great music (at the end of commercial, Gary Rafferty’s “Baker Street” plays), and get a serious number of eyeballs on the ad. I think this one might just work.
What do you think?

Superbowl 2011 – commercials win!
Yeah, I’ve been a fan of commercials since I can remember. I think it is because (the good ones) they have to make their point within a minute and can come across as little movies. Pepsi has always been a favorite, any Budweiser one showing a Clydesdale is good, and the E*Trade baby cracks me up every time.
In spite of Pepsi, Budweiser, and E*Trade making high marks in this years edition, my favorites for Superbowl XLV (45) featured two car commercials and one for Snickers. Watch them here: http://www.superbowl-commercials.org/
“Baby Vader” is my no-holds-barred knock-down favorite. It features a 6 year old wandering around the house trying to unleash the Power of the Force on household items. No good at the washing machine, unsuccessful with the doll, and an Epic Fail with the family dog. Dad finally drives home (and this is apparently where we are buying a car made by Volkswagen) and parks the car in the driveway. While walking to the house he is practically run over by his son who is anxiously waiting to try using The Force on the car. Next we see Dad and Mom standing at the kitchen counter over-looking the front yard of the house. Dad presses the magic key-fob to remote start the car and the kid is completely taken aback by his incredible – and successful – use of The Force. The moment is fantastic and is must see!
Next up is a car commercial by Chrysler. Dark and edgy, it tells the story of how Detroit is a survivor and is Tough which translates to the cars they build. It ends with Eminem getting out of a car saying “This is the motor city. And this is what we do”. Powerful stuff.
And third on the Dave List was the spot for Snickers. They called it: Logging. I guess the premise here is, loggers are tough, but tough loggers can have tough days. Further, if your tough logger is having one of those tough days, a Snickers bar may be what cures yuh. Well, it got high marks for its use of the always complaining funny-man, Richard Lewis. The award was given by me though for its use of a log nearly taking the head off of Rosanne Barr. I guess it would have received a Dave’s List 2nd place award if they had slipped and actually taken her head off, in real time….and then shared the video with the world in spite of her demise. That would have worked out well for everyone.
Anyway, visit the link above. Some of these commercials did a really good job! I’ll let you know if I purchase that Volkswagen, but I am definitely going for a Snickers bar.
Oh, and the game? Green Bay beat Pittsburgh.
