There's actually a making-of video that shows exactly that.

I don't watch television, but I was over a buddy's house and saw THIS. Nice message even if it's pushing a product. Touching and cute.

Re: Television Commercials
I love Wes, and that's a wonderfully inventive commercial, but what a crummy beer to shill for.

Not a trailer but Wes Anderson has a new commercial he directed for some beer company. Terry Gilliam also has a new tv ad/short film for NASCAR he's directed but it's not out yet.

Re: Television Commercials
I liked the Wes Anderson ad better when it was a bit about Quagmire's pad on the Family Guy. I'm a Wes apologist on most things, but this one didn't even make me chuckle.

Not a television commercial, but I thought this viral advert for Jalouse magazine was pretty clever. Voila.

Re: Television Commercials
That was very funny (I liked the play on Jalouse inspiring jealousy!) but surely the ad man talking during the trailer could have summarised it even quicker: "Buy Jalouse and get shagged on your coffee table every night!"

One of my friends posted that on Tumblr last night and I cannot adequately describe the rage that narrator inspired in me. I get "le" joke, but it's still obnoxious

Re: Television Commercials
Ha! I don't think its any more obnoxious than something you'd see on Portlandia. I, as he so delicately put it, "love that shit" and I still smiled pretty wide over its affectionate brand of irony.
And, perhaps of no interest to you but interesting to me, I actually wondered to myself as I posted the video how you specifically would react to it

Re: Television Commercials
It seems like if you're going to do a video deconstructing how much of fashion is a male gaze based idea of what a woman's life is or should be like it's not really going to sell a lot of copies of your fashion magazine, so I doubt they meant the narrator to be quite as obnoxious as I found him.

Re: Television Commercials
Very likely that this is the first teaser trailer for a commercial ever. I'm sitting my ass down Super Bowl Sunday, for damned sure.

Apparently Ferris now drives a Honda, which is a considerable step down from the adolescent-dreams of rolling back the miles on a Ferrari just by putting it in reverse. Looks like the mediocrity of adulthood that was exhibited in Election may have been kind of prophetic. I blame the recession. This might be Todd Phillips' most depressing work about permanent adolescence.

Re: Television Commercials
How can a concept like that go so horribly wrong? I think it would have been a lot more fun had Honda been able to, you know, keep their mouths shut about it until it debuted.

Re: Television Commercials
Why is this anything other than what would have been expected? What a shock: he drove around in a car and did and said things from a movie that everyone has collectively laughed at while it has played on basic cable on a loop for the last 26 years. Did you guys really think that a Honda Super Bowl ad targeted at the widest audience imaginable was going to augment and/or subvert the Ferris Bueller story in some groundbreaking or creative way?

Re: Television Commercials
Well, no, I didn't, but I do wonder why they released it early. If they were going to do this anyway, it kind of reduces the impact. Obviously they'll get more eye-balls on it on Sunday, but it also feels like they've wasted some money paying for the inflated time-slot. I mean, anyone who missed the Super Bowl ad and heard about it was likely going to go online next Monday anyway to check it out and either love it or say it's offensively awful, has violated their adolescent memories, needs to be destroyed immediately, and we should all hunt down and brutally beat the ad wizards who came up with that one (this is my best approximation of the comments section of any random website), so what's the benefit of releasing it a week before the Super Bowl?Tom Hagen wrote:Why is this anything other than what would have been expected?

Re: Television Commercials
They've probably leveraged even more attention by doing it this way. Why try to emerge as the top voice from among many next Monday morning (and possibly have your best laid plans foiled by Abe Vigoda eating a Snickers bar) when you can be the only voice this Monday morning?
