Hey kids, I’m Zarah. I’ll try and not bore you with my introduction. So a little bit about myself: I’m hoping to major in marketing so I’m kind of obsessed with cool ads. I watch A LOT of tv. And I’m talking about more than some people will understand or even consider healthy. And even though sometimes I really wish it didn’t, tv means commercials. Yes, I’d prefer watching the paid programming that I’ve opted out of studying/homework/productivity for rather than some company’s strategy to get me to sell my soul to them but hey let’s face it: commercials are inevitable. I’ve considered the fact that I might have a mild case of ADD but when I find it within the capabilities of my ever-wandering attention span to stay on a channel long enough to endure through 3 minutes of corporate businesses trying to sell their 50 different brands of cereal to me, I do see a commercial once in a while that I actually enjoy and pay attention to.
That being said, this Koodo commercial that has teamed up with MUCHmusic for some contest is one of THE funniest commercials I have ever seen. I can’t really pinpoint any one aspect of it that makes it so amusing for me but i just absolutely LOVE it. The first time I saw it, I wasn’t really sure if I was actually seeing/hearing the gradual change in the appearance & voice of the guy talking, or if maybe all those years of watching Criminal Minds had finally caught up to me (watching the marathons on A&E about serial killers and paranoid schizophrenics is bound to have some repercussions I’m telling you). But by the very end of the commercial, the only thing that I could think was, “Whoa.” And if a commercial can make any watcher have that reaction, then I’m pretty sure they’ve done their job. That and if the person on the couch suddenly feels compelled to go out and spend dinero on something that they probably already have.
Anyway, here’s the link to the commercial. Hope someone finds it just as awesome as I did 🙂
PS. Watch the mustache.
