Spongebob and Sir Mix-a-lot Burger King Commercial (Full Version)

YouTube Preview Image

The viral marketing doesn’t seem to stop for the Burger King.  I just found the full two minute music video of the Spongebob Squarepants, Sir Mix-a-lot, and the Burger King.  Great job to Burger King and the agency they hired for this campaign.  IF you want to take a look at past viral campaigns they have done, read this post.

Yes we know it’s fake. Still cool though.

Have it Your Way 2.0: BK Viral Marketing Strategies

Burger King seems like they’re really getting the hang of this whole Internet thing.

For example, I don’t really know how the hell they did it, or what the hell they actually did, but Burger King drew a correlation with baby-making music and the flame-broiled Whopper. If you’re ever in a quick need for a quick fix soundtrack, Burger King delivers: Fire Meets Desire

A few months back, they hosted a campaign known as the Whopper Sacrifice. A Facebook application was designed where you’d be able to win a free Whopper after deleting a set number of friends. Unfortunately, some bullshit arose and the Whopper Sacrifice had to be, well, Sacrificed.

More recently, Burger King released their own remix of Sir Mix-a-Lot’s ’90s classic, “Baby Got Back”:

The irony in all of this, of course, is that I’m writing a post about Burger King’s viral marketing strategies, which will in turn, make their campaigns even more viral, which will cause other bloggers to post about the virality, which will (head explodes).

Hulu’s New Commercial with the hot Eliza Dushku

Hulu’s New Commercial with the hot Eliza Dushku
YouTube Preview Image

Complete with bouncing boobs, Hulu keeps your eyes glued to the TV long enough to advertise themselves.  Then, at the end of the commercial, you wish YOU were that straw. I’ll admit, Hulu’s new alien campaign is really working for me.  Every time I see one air, I just have to stop what I’m doing and watch it.  Including Seth’s commercial.

Good job Hulu.  Can’t wait to see more commercials from this campaign.

New Microsoft Ad Takes Another Shot at Apple

Looks like Microsoft’s marketing campaign taking shots at again.  I really doubt its working.

“Macs to me is really only about aesthetics more than computing power.”

Being an Apple Fanboy, Mac’s are about sexyness and being user-friendly.  They have as much computing power as that crappy-ass HP you bought and you can run almost any OS on it. Also, it’s easy to buy a PC laptop when someone is buying it for you.  I mean heck, I’d buy a PC laptop if someone handed me straight cash after I bought it.

Congratulations, Giampaolo.  You’re a PC and a hired actor that might have received an HP laptop.

(Yes. I understand I’m going to get flamed for this.)

This is art. Great lighting, great model, and of course, great copy writing. Congrats to the agency and the copywriter who created this.

For another great ad by another agency, watch how Bontrust “multiplies” your money.

New Extended Star Trek TV Spot

The closer we get to May 8th, the more I want to become a Trekkie. I’ll admit, the most I’ve ever seen about Star Trek was when they made an appearance on Futurama.  Time to learn some Klingon.
