I've been such a negative Nelly (preferably Furtado over St. Louis) that today is a favorite things post. So these are some of my absolute favorite commercials.
1. Nike, "If You Let Me Play Sports"
I remember watching this when I was a young teen (13) and feeling down right empowered. I played organized sports (track and field, cross country, softball, soccer and a disastrous attempt at basketball) from the age of seven until I was 21. I saw this commercial and thought "Okay, I am doing something right."
2. Volkswagen, "Singing In the Rain"
I have a friend from high school who has a very serious love of VWs and he introduced me to this cool little ad. It never fails to bring a smile to my face. The song by the way is a very cool remix by Mint Royale.
3. Gap, "Khaki Soul"
This is back when GAP not only had some pretty cool clothes (beyond basics, for a few years they had some really interesting designs) and *fantastic* ads featuring really cool music.
4. French Condoms
Hilarious? Check. Pragmatic? Check.
5. Nike, "Good vs. Evil"
One of my favorite soccer commercials (there are a LOT of good soccer commercials). I especially love the accent of the "Maybe they're friendly" guy and that bad ass collar flip at the end.
