Commercially Acclaimed: Vol #6 - Yahoo Search Engine Edition

TV commercials are a part of our everyday lives as TV viewers. Even though Tivo and DVR have allowed us to "skip through" the commercials, the advertising companies a still trying to peak our interests by coming up with creative commercials. To me, great commercials are an art form and are under appreciated by a society that is always trying to speed through things. Think about it... how many times did you see a great commercial that made you laugh hysterically or want to go out and purchase the advertised product??? And how many times has the best part of the Super Bowl been the commercials during a blow out game??? Whether you want to admit it or not, commercials are cool as shit... and here are some of my favorites.


These next two commercials are part of Yahoo's new TV campaign for the search engine. They take great songs, in this case Kayne West's "Flashing Lights" and Lionel Richie's "Hello", and mash them up with real life people in real life situations. The music provides them with a fantasy escape... through the search engine. I know, its a bit of a stretch... but the guys lip syncing and dancing all goofy and shit is pretty hysterical.... here you go. Tell me what you think in the comment section below.
 
Kayne West - Flashing Lights
 

 
Lionel Richie - Hello
 

Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson Is The Funniest Man In The NFL (And Maybe The World)

I am a huge sports fan... if the game involves a ball, I usually love it. Football is one of my favorite. Although there are plenty of football players that regular people recognize, most average "non-fans" don't know what they look like because they always are on the field with helmets on. Chad Johnson is a very personable guy, and he is also extremely talented. So after he began to make a name for himself in the NFL as a star reciever, he became discouraged by the fact that nobody recognized him off the field. So he divised a plan to make EVERYONE notice him. He began to celebrate his touchdowns, but he did not go with the average ball spike and high 5 that most guys use. He went out there... way out there. He began a career of making himself a spectacle everytime he scored, and not only that he made himself a spectacle... he was fucking hilarious in doing it. I just watched him on Mike n Mike over at ESPN, and his interview was great. His interviews are always great. Sure, most people think he is a pompous asshole who talks way to much crap, but that is not the case. Chad is just all about having fun. He knows that he is lucky, one of the .0001% of all people that play football in their lives to make it to the NFL. He has been rewarded with millions of dollars and fame. So he plans on enjoying it, and thats what he does. He has never been in trouble with the law, never had incidences of drug or alcohol violations, and even his celebrations never really rub it in to his competitors. He has fun... WTF is so wrong with that??? Roger Goodell, the NFL commissioner, has fined Chad 100's of times (see the pic above)... but he does not care about fines. They go to charity, so he feels like its all for a good cause. So he keeps acting like only he can, then cuts the check after he is done. Below is a clip of some of his celebrations throughout his career. It's set to Kayne West's "Stronger" and gives you just how funny Ochocinco can be. My favorite is when he breaks into a full on Riverdance after scoring a touchdown. But thats not the best part... he actually studied Irish folkdancing for 3 weeks before he busted his moves out during a game!!! If your gonna do something, do it right. Enjoy the clip and remember: You Gotta Have Fun At What You Do!!!!!
