Commercial Joy

We are reaching the end of our textbook and the second to last lesson is on Television. Considering I only really watch TV shows on DVD or YouTube these days, I might not be the best person to consult on what is hot and what's not on the TV homefront... but I think it went alright.

For this lesson, we decided to show different commercials and have the kids vote on their favorite one. I thought I'd post them here, too, and see what you guys thought. In the end, the diamond ads (with shadows) and Honda tied for the best commercial, with most of the votes for Honda coming from males and the diamonds coming from girls... guess these companies know their marketing!

Enjoy:

1. FedEx Commercial with Burt Reynolds (best commercial); 45 sec


2. McDonalds Dance Commercial; 20 sec


3. Gap – Audrey Hepburn; 1:03


4. DeBeers Shadow Commercial; 29 sec


5. Romantic Debeers – Christmas Morning; 29 sec


6. Honda – Parts Ad; 2:00


7.Coke Ad; 1:02
