Dikembe Jumbo Mutombo Meal Deal

By Street Dude | Published: January 28, 2010

I hope you’re not hungry, because this is yet another jumbo meal deal from the McDonald’s Corporation (the other meal deal can be found here). Dikembe Mutombo — the NBA’s most notorious finger-wagging, shot-blocking king — endorsed this jumbo deal 20, 30, possibly 100 years ago. Seemingly since television has existed, McDonald’s has affixed this [...]

Close Shave America: Barbosol and PM Pancakes

By Street Dude | Published: January 22, 2010

reviewed by Street Dude What is America; what is America to you? To Barbosol, America is the the open road, a road that’s a treacherous journey, a road that, on a daily basis, generally sucks. Sometimes you will not shower, you will feel lonely, you will long for your loved ones, and spirits must remain [...]

Cotton Commercial: The Fabric of Zooey Deschanel’s Faultless and Fashionable Lifestyle

Crotch Injury

By Urban Pal | Published: January 17, 2010

This ad for a hospital makes light of possibly the most beloved of all slap-stick injuries, the swift kick to a man’s testis.  Where did they find this kid, who so eloquently narrates a Chuck Norris fight scene?  My guess is a MacDonald’s play-place.  Though the anecdote is an amusing one, the titles at the [...]

Sprite Spray

By Urban Pal | Published: January 11, 2010

This ad examines the thoughts that go through the minds of many girls in this situation; “why put something in your mouth if it is not going to have the same refreshing qualities of a shaken up bottle of Sprite?”  Honestly I was a little taken aback by this ad, as it seemed a little [...]

It’s Game Time, Baby

By Street Dude | Published: January 10, 2010

This brilliant commercial used to run between every commercial break during the 2007 NBA playoffs. This guy knows how to save the day, and save his friend’s ass, by bringing the hors d’oeuvres to the party, and boy does he bring it big time with the double quarter pounder (with cheese). He uses common sense: [...]

Sofia Coppola’s Miss Dior Chérie Commercial

By Street Dude | Published: January 1, 2010

The good, the bad, and the ugly rule certainly applies to directors of television commercials. Sometimes film directors regress back to directing the television commercial.  An exemplar of the bad and the ugly is McG, a director whose work includes commercials for MLB Baseball, The Gap, Coca-Cola; music videos for Smash Mouth, Korn, Sugar Ray, [...]
