New Combos Commercial.

I saw a new Combos commercial while watching the Broncos' game. This teenager goes into his Mom's room, looking sick and kind-of sweaty. He says something like, "Mom. I think I've got a fever." His rather rotund Mom rolls over in bed and you find out that Mom is rather masculine looking. In fact it kinda looks like John Goodman win a wig and nighty.

(S)he feels her son's forehead and says, "You're probably just hungry. These will make you feel better. They've got pizza stuff inside." and gives the lad a bag of combos. He eats a few and goes back to bed.

Then the announcer says the slogan:

"Combos: What your mom would feed you if your mom was a man. "

Bwahahahahaha

I need to go buy some Combos. Any advertising guy that uses big, transvestite moms to sell pretzels with cheeze in them deserves a big raise! That's the best bit of marketing that I've seen since Quiznos used the sponge monkeys to sell sandwiches.

Now that I go out and look at Youtube, there are a bunch of these commercials. Search on "Combos Commercial" on Youtube.com and let me know what you think.

Love,

Movie Review... Apocalypto and Van Wilder II

My wife and her friend wanted to go see Apocalypto. I had no desire to see anything that violent, so I went to see a new suspense movie out this weekend. Van Wilder 2. A suspense movie, you ask? Yes it truly is. There's a lot of suspense involved. Is she, or isn't she going to take her top off? The answer was always "Yes".

If you saw the first one, then you know the plot of the second one. Kal Penn is awesome, as always. If you liked the first one, I think you'll like the second one too. I did at least. There are some VERY GOOD and funny lines that got the whole theatre laughing (all 5 of us).

It'll be good to see the unrated version. :D

While Mr. Gibson's Myan epic might have a bit more social relevance in the long term, I personally feel much more enriched for having a lighter, more entertaining movie going experience.

Love,
