"First Animal Commercials of 2017"
9 years ago
It took a lot of searching throughout "YouTube", but I'd found a whole bunch of brand new TV commercials with animal characters in them. I thought I'd present them this time without the usual descending order (with the last one as my selection as the best). Perhaps you might think that one of the middle comments might be for a commercial you think is better than all of the others. YOU be the judge...
LUNCHABLES: Here are two new ads for the kids' lunch meal, featuring more antics of 'Jacky' the jackalope and 'Platy' the platypus...

2. "Driving Test" (:30): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8PyWvsz_BA
GEICO: One of the newer campaigns for the insurance company is a series of narrated stories, fairy tales, and nursery rhymes (such as last year's "Itsy-Bitsy Spider"), tying in financial aid for lost, stolen, and/or damaged possessions. Here are two of the newest spots...
1. "Goldilocks" (:30): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ethNdbrDDdg
2. "Baa Baa Black Sheep" (:30): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSSBZ-FWloE
KELLOGG'S: Two new fifteen-second ads for Kellogg's food fare debuted this month; one for a Frosted Flakes spin-off product with (the CGI version of) 'Tony the Tiger', and a Pop Tarts spot with the 'Poodle Moderator' (from 2016's "Big Debate" ad)...
1. Cinnamon Frosted Flakes (:15): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFyDQcZYD-w
2. Pop Tarts/"Latte & Mocha" (:15): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8uFQMkrRKo
CARFAX: The (crudely designed) CGI 'Carfax Fox' is back in a pair of commercials, as he has difficulty interacting with his live-action human customers...

2. "Used Truck" (:30): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ch6zs1QssSM
VOYA FINANCIAL: The computer-animated orange origami animals are back in new spots for Voya, and are joined by green versions (who represents the money you could earn), as this folded fauna converses with live-action humans. "Park Bench" features squirrels, while "Coffee Shop" has rabbits...

2. "Coffee Shop" (:30): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99PYEQQN1Hk

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVHOJt7RTDM
VISTAPRINT INDIA/"What's Your Print?" (:30): Speaking of elephants, a few real pachyderms (with computer enhancements) help promote an agency that specializes in printing lettering and art upon T-shirts, signs, and other items...

"ANIMAL JAM" (:30): An interactive computer program with lots of friendly fauna (led by a vixen) had its own TV spot recently...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tg1iglVKYow
AMERICA'S BEST/"Designer Sale" (:30): The eyeglass establishment held a recent special, as its avian spokesperson - a CGI talking owl - chats with one satisfied (and overenthusiastic) customer...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phu0pdIPFWe
WGU/"Air Quotes" (:30): Lest you think that talking owls are only good at pushing eyeglasses (or Tootsie Roll Pops), you should check out the birds featured in this spot for Western Governor's University or WGU...

THE REAL COST.../"Straw City": Last, but not least, a computer-enhanced PSA (Public Service Announcement) with anthropomorphic pigs and a big, bad wolf promotes the main hazard of cigarette smoking - lack of breath (as the lupine character fails to huff and puff and blow down any of the buildings in an entire town made of straw)... #FailByCigs

If I'd made mistakes in any one of the above links, just go to the 'Home' page in "YouTube" and type the brand name of the product or service into the 'search' box at the top, in order to bring up the ads I'd been hyping.
And, in February, keep an eye out for my annual selections of "The Best Of The Super Bowl 51 Commercials"!

This one seems to have been removed. "Animal jam" just lead to a series of NatGeo videos.
Thanks for pointing out the rest of these ads, though.
