– – Man, the hunters hate this commercial with a passion, calling it anti-gun, anti-hunter, and even “sacrilegious.” I could tell you other things they’ve called this ad, but we strive to be mostly family friendly here. It’s the Red Bull “Hunter” commercial, alternately referred to as “Animal Killer!” In the commercial, a hunter that could make Elmer Fudd look good goes into the woods, wearing a ludicrous outfit that includes a feathered cap, and whistling a tune. There’s a bit of a commotion in the woods that we don’t see, but it undoubtedly involves a reversal of fortunes…
…next, the hunter is high-tailing it out of the woods, effortlessly pursued by a wild hog or boar. It’s an easy chase; the buck-toothed hunter loses his gun then his pipe, and trips over a rock and falls flat, the boar not even breaking a sweat. The hog, looking mildly amused, taps the prone hunter extracting his face from the ground on the back with his hoof. “Hey, animal killer!,” says the hog, who continues to offer the hapless Nimrod a Red Bull energy drink. “Then what?,” asks the clueless mighty hunter. “Then run faster!,” patiently explains the victorious hog.- -Red Bull, you see, gives you wings!
I haven’t seen such a masterful rout and lambasting of a hunter since Bugs Bunny’s many humiliations of Elmer… 😉
– – Science fiction has long warned us that technology is a double-edged sword with the potential to be used for either great good or great evil, and we see a little bit of both emerge in the Cheetos “Break Bot” commercial. We are witness to a scene where two nerds/geeks together with the iconic Chester have constructed a robot apparently on their lunch break to feed them Cheetos when given the command of, “Cheese me!“- -Well and good, right? The problem is that the homemade robot bitch slaps the recipient in the face following the delivery of the Cheeto…

– – He’s not to be confused with “Courageous Cat” or “Rocket Man,” but Progressive Insurance currently features a commercial in which a Progressive associate tries to “bundle” a sweet mewing cat with a rocket in a miniature pod that is reminiscent of the concept and device in the sci fi/horror classic, “The Fly.”

– – The Enchanted Forest as envisioned by Psyop in a recent commercial is a wondrous place indeed, filled with sprites, smiling trees, and a variety of dancing, costumed anthropomorphic animals. There’s even a fox, a remarkably tall and slender specimen wearing shorts and a top hat! It’s essentially an environmental plug for FedEx clad as a fairy tale, and when those conventions are stripped away
– – In yet another MiO Energy Drink commercial staged at the legendary Watering Hole bar, we are shown a lemur trying to make time with the giraffe girl previously seen in another commercial of the series. With the world’s worst timing, the lemur’s efforts are ruined by the unwelcome intrusion of the hapless, unlucky-in-love crocodile character,
