My favorite was the Coca-Cola Heist commercial. Instead of trying to shove their brand in your face or going for cheap laughs, the Coke people made an animation which was interesting to watch for the entire minute. I thought that it was a great way to advertise their brand – who can resist a soda that’s so good that a bunch of happy little critters would team up to steal it from a human. And, in times like these, the commercial manages to convey this happy feeling very well. Props to the Coca-Cola marketing department for a job well done. Here is the commercial:

As far as funny ads, I found that the Doritos commercials were the only ones worth watching. I don’t think there’s much to explain, so enjoy:

P.S. Dear Coca-Cola and Doritos, you’re welcome for the free publicity.

In a way, I can see why these people are doing this. They are mostly nerds who were picked on in high school, and who like having the power to intimidate others. But is this really the way they should express their disagreement? Are they not just turning into the bullies that they hated so much? Or are they even worse, because they hide their identities?

Of course, some of these comments may be coming from little kids who just enjoy the opportunity to try out their brand new cuss words. Especially in this case, I think it’s important for the community to step up and discourage this kind of negativity.

As people and as a community, we don’t get better when we hear threats and negative comments directed at us. It is constructive criticism that propels us forward.

In the words of Antonio, let’s all grow up.
