Terry Sumner Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Among my favorites are the Etrade baby commercials. The new one where he's in the crib in time out is great! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0GsNhLt9Ds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Barrow Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 (edited) I like the commercial but what I don't get is, why hamsters??? The hamsters were used in the first Soul commercial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEcjtqYztdg And the rapping hamster commercial isn't "new", it was on every 2 seconds back in the spring, then it went away (thank goodness) and now it's back on every 2 seconds again. Maybe it was a regional/test ad, and now it's national, or maybe the 2011 models are out? Edited November 8, 2010 by Brett Barrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I "get" everything else about their commercials. Just puzzled why they use hamsters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Yeah, but why hamsters???? I don't get what hamsters have to do with cars? I "get" everything else about their commercials. Just puzzled why they use hamsters? Probably because somebody at the agency thought they would be cute and make the commercials more memorable. If they did the same exact commercial, but with people, nobody would be talking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Handley Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Yeah, but why hamsters???? I don't get what hamsters have to do with cars? I "get" everything else about their commercials. Just puzzled why they use hamsters? Probably based around the joke of how some "economical" cars were so weak that there were rodents on wheels powering them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 This is one of my all-time favorites... It got pulled from the airwaves rather quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdiego Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Love the Hamsters. The hamster in the wheel would be symbolic of the the Soul's competition in the marketplace. The hamsters who have broken away from the wheel somehow have the wherewithall to pony up for the Kia, totally get it. Hate the dipstick Scotsman, way overplayed and made no sense from any angle. My least favorite has to be the moron who whines for extra napkins after a shower of used motor oil at the drive in. Thank God that one is gone. This is an odd place for this discussion, but my latest commercial dilemma is with a fairly normal redheaded "everywoman" that I've last seen in the new Burger king commercials for the Xbox giveaway. In one break I saw her in the BK ad, a prune ad and a shake weight ad. This lady must have been in thirty commercials over the last two years or so. Why this woman? How did she end up with so many and still remain anonymous? Why, why, why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Forgot this one- another Dodge Ad, starring 'Meatwad' from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. They played the ad quite a bit during the show, now that I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaronw Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 This commercial always makes me laugh, I'd almost taking up drinking so I could support them. Of course the old milk commercials were the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Yeah, but why hamsters???? I don't get what hamsters have to do with cars? I "get" everything else about their commercials. Just puzzled why they use hamsters? Dude, Hamsters, running in place in their hamster exercise wheels are the epitome ... the very icon ... of the "rat race." They present the non-verbal image that all the other drivers (not the cool, savvy, with-it playas in the Soul) are trapped in place in their unchanging, dismal existences in traffic while the cool dudes roll around in the Soul.

Aaronw Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Are those hamsters, or are they gerbils? Hamsters, gerbils have long furry tails and a much more pointed face. They also make much better pets, hamsters are dim witted, canabalistic, nasty little critters under the cute exterior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
