TV commercials Walt actually likes

Having quite justifiably poked fun at whoever made those ridiculous commercials for Fallsview Casino (see post, last month I now take pleasure in presenting two commercials which are more entertaining than some of the programs in which they are inserted.

The first is for Rickard's, brewers of beer which they want us to believe is delicious.


There are two versions of this in English, and one in French. In the English versions the "middle guy" looks vaguely vizmin. In the French version, everyone is pure laine. Coincidence? I think not. Fine commercials though.

While researching this, I stumbled on a spoof commercial made by a fan of Rickard's Red. I'm having trouble getting it to upload, so will invite you to click here to go to YouTube to see proof that non-professionals, like Curtis, can do even better than ad agencies.

Saved the best for the last. Click for Pepsi Max's "I'm Good" commercial. Yeah, I know it's derivative -- America's Funniest Videos -- but it made me laugh so hard tears were running down my legs!
