Oscar Ads (2015)

Forget the Super Bowl, man. This year’s Academy Awards telecast had three of the coolest, funniest and most heartfelt commercials I’ve seen all year. And best of all they came in one big beautiful clump up near the front of the show, you know, when people were still watching the Oscars! Here are my three favorite Oscar ads just in case you missed them. Enjoy!

Trailer Thursday: “The Slap”

I know Trailer Thursday’s are usually reserved for movies, but, this upcoming miniseries “event” on NBC looks just too crazy and bad/good not to share. I don’t know much about The Slap except that it is an American adaptation of a UK miniseries that actually won some acting awards and shit. And since this version features a cast of heavy-hitters (Peter Sarsgaard, Uma Thurman and Brian Cox in a miniseries? On NBC?! insanity!) and is directed by Oscar-nominated writer/director Lisa Cholodenko, I figure it’s either gonna be really good or really crazy bad.

Either way, our DVR has been set for weeks. Enjoy!

Dove Men+Care’s “Call for Dads” TV Spot

Greta and I have been watching this sweet, beautifully produced TV spot from Dove Men+Care all week, and everytime we watch it, we cry. So, in honor of my upcoming fifth Father's Day as a dad this weekend, I figured I'd share this awesomeness with you guys as well.

Honestly, they had me at the title, but the fact that I know one of the dad's in the clip from my old Westside Dad's Meetup Group makes the clip that much more special. My buddy Trevor is the bald dude kissing his tow-headed little boy, Miles, near the middle of the commercial…you can't miss them. I think that's them in the insect costumes later on too. Either way, congrats, guys!

And to the rest of the weary, hard-working dads out there (stay-at-home and otherwise!) Happy Father's Day and enjoy the clip!

Virgin Atlantic Mini-Movie: “Born Different”

OK, I know that a shortened version of this ad has been running on TV for months now, but, I just found this extended, mini-movie version of Virgin Atlantic’s “Born Different” ad, and I had to share it. I myself have yet to fly Virgin Airways, but, this super cool commercial puts them on the very top of my “must-fly” list. Enjoy!

Summer’s Eve Commercials

OK, has anyone else seen these crazy-ass new commercials for Summer’s Eve? Whoa! My Aunt posted the first one on Facebook last night and I thought, surely, this is some kinda joke…but, nope, these are the very racy, very strange new ads for Summer’s Eve products. Crazy, huh?

I am the total opposite of a prude, but, I gotta say, some of these commercials made me blush bright red. My stars, what will they think of next?! Yikes…
