Have we seen this ad before, Mr. Chairman?
This commercial from agency ISM in Boston reminds me of ... something else. I wonder what it could be. I'm just so foggy today, head muddled, not thinking straight. Guess I'd be lot sharper if I'd gotten a great night's sleep and fresh breakfast at a Holiday Inn Express. Which brings us to the clip in question. It's for Best Western, but I kept expecting the exec being grilled to blurt out the Holiday Inn Express punch line. This ad plays out like an execution from that better-known (and all-around better) campaign, which probably says a lot about just how effective those ads have been through the years. The spot reminded Adrants' Steve Hall of something else, too: GoDaddy's naughty congressional-inquiry Super Bowl spot. Of course, lots of things remind Steve of the GoDaddy girls. |

Humor makes giant leap as white guy raps
Is there still any novelty left in the idea of white people rapping? Perhaps, as evidenced by the science dropped in this Holiday Inn Express ad from Fallon. Maybe this loquacious nerd and his homies from Accounts Payable can rent out the Holiday Inn's conference room for a real battle rap tournament against these cocky urban youths. More likely, he'll get the crap beaten out of him if he ever crosses their paths again. |
