Old Spice Doogie Howser aka Barney Stinson
I've been following the show "How I met your mother?" recently and have to give it to ole' Doogie for playing an 'awesome' character there. In this Old Spice commercial, we see a hybrid of Doogie and Barney Stinson all in one! Classic.
LL Cool J wasn't always so "Swagger"
Until he tried Old Spice Swagger... I cracked up watching this one. The young kid they found playing LL Cool J is funny.

Coach Tom, from Staples Viral Marketing, Funny
Staples has a pretty funny campaign going using viral marketing as key. Its their giftitforfree.com campaign where people have a chance to win back the money they've spent at Staples from 11/16 to 12/24. The campaign follows a funny coach named Tom and his convoluted take on events surrounding him. The clip below is his encounter with a group of folks practicing Tai Chi made me chuckle a bit.
Another YouTube video here, as well as his Facebook and Twitter profile.

Amazon.com to Circumvent "Wrap Rage"
Amazon.com has long been the leader in innovation, marketing and web-expertise. Today, I logged on their homepage to find a humorous marketing banner addressing "Wrap Rage" which is when us humans get frustrated with packaged goods too difficult for us to open. This reminds me a lot of the "Instructoart - Master of the Obvious" comic/art from Matt Vescovo.Click on the banner to enjoy this humorous letter yourself!

Viral Marketing & Funny: Officemax Penny Pranks Series
OfficeMax is pulling out a serious effort on the Viral Marketing/TV/YouTube effort. I saw a commercial tonight with a guy using a hidden camera walking into a liquor store to buy things with pennies. And the store clerk refused. The theme is that OfficeMax will take your pennies in their "penny sale". They followed-up with a YouTube URL (http://Youtube.com/PennyPranks) asking audience to checkout other penny pranks. I think this is funny, smart and a nice push on their viral/youtube effort. Kudos to OfficeMax

Sexy Marketing: Ecko Jeans Commercial
Wow, Ecko Jeans company is very edgy with this commercial. The theme was "Hot Girls Make Great Clothes" for you at their factory with models wearing bikini. Take a look below. I also found a couple of behind the scenes clip. Definitely got my attention when I was watching "The Hills" marathon on MTV this afternoon. (Oops... did I just give away that I not only watch MTV, but also "The Hills"?)
In all seriousness, Ecko is very smart about this commercial. When I was researching for the commercial on YouTube, they uploaded all sorts of unrated clips to supply any potential viral marketing potential. Very impressive follow-thru.

This is a pretty funny commercial, the guy is glad to have rearview camera after picking up a bunch of old nudist on the road...
Keep up with the times, Starwood offers song download!
I just got a pretty cool email from the SPG (Starwood Preferred Guest program) of the Starwood Hotels and Resorts. They will give you 8 "pre-selected" songs if you stay with them during this promotional period. MP3 and iPods have pretty much replaced cassettes and CDs, what a smart way to incentize people to stay with their hotel.

Viral Marketing: "Hands Off" from Pioneer
Tonight must be viral marketing night. I just ran across another joint viral marketing effort from Pioneer and WebRidesTV.com. To bring awareness to the recent law that has been passed forbidding drivers from using their mobile phone while driving, Pioneer is inviting people to submit a 15-30sec video integrating bluetooth techonology along with their latest car/electronics products. Winners can receive the Pioneer multimedia navigation head unit(s). Not sure how I feel about this initiative but certainly applaud Pioneer's marketing staff for making a good attempt.
Viral Marketing: Cardo Wireless Mobile Popcorn
I am sharing this story from the mobile experience, as it applies to both themes:
Viral marketing is one of those things that either works or fails; sometimes it doesn't have to make any sense, so long as people find it newsworthy, funny, entertaining or informational, they will pass it on. Take this YouTube video below for example, it is produced by Cardo Wireless, the maker of various bluetooth solutions for mobile. The video is untrue but pretty entertaining; it has gotten over 1.8 million views thus far.

Bud Light: Ability to have X-Ray Vision
This commercial is funny; although when I first watched it, I wondered why they targeted this one to the female audience. Bud Light generally produces funny commercials catered to its male audience. When I thought about if they were to replace these two male workers in the commercial with females, things may not boil well with the general public. I guess, ironically, the "fat" jokes is a double-standard when it comes to women audience...
