My favorite ad has to be the “Got Milk – Arron Burr.” I first saw this ad when I was about ten years old and my Dad showed it to me. I find it really funny and entertaining. It does a great job with humor and is a subtle ad, which is a rarity today. I also don’t find its humor pushy or annoying, unlike the GEICO ads which I personally have tired of. As I’ve gotten older, I continue to enjoy the sentimental memories of it. When I first saw it, I had no idea who Arron Burr or Alexander Hamilton were, this was before the famous play came out, and before I became interested in studying history. Now as someone who studies history and enjoys the Hamilton soundtrack I find the ad even more entertaining.
Critical Thinking
Haha definitely the best and most classic Got Milk? commercial. Did you know that this commercial was actually directed by Michael Bay?!?
I agree! I remember watching this as a kid and I still love it now! I also didn’t know that the commercial was directed by Micheal Bay?! It is crazy to think how much work goes into a 30 second clip!
I don’t remember watching it as a kid, but I do remember how it resurfaced after Hamilton was released. I agree that it has a subtle amount of humor in a very creative way here.
I think this has to be one of the most effective ads of all time because it sticks with people the most. Almost everyone is familiar with this ad so kudos to whoever came up with it.
