A few months ago, I was watching a lot of shows on Hulu, and the commercials that split up the show are often recycled and reused – to the point of it just getting stuck in my head. \u00a0One of the companies that stuck with me was SafeAuto, not because of the direct promotion of the company, but because of the silliness of the commercial itself. \u00a0Each commercial featured a product that is unconventional and definitely wouldn’t get a bid from SharkTank investors – like pajamas for your car and a jumpsuit that heats up your food when you work out. \u00a0The voice-over cuts the fake promotion short by exclaiming “That doesn’t sound right!”, which is the part that starts that promotion for SafeAuto itself. \u00a0My friends and I quote the “That doesn’t sound right” phrase in our everyday interactions, which makes the commercial even more comical. \u00a0As I was thinking of commercials that I really liked, I struggled because no commercials were initially coming to mind. \u00a0I began wondering what commercials I refer to the most, and I was reminded of these SafeAuto commercials from Hulu. \u00a0However, \u00a0I think it is interesting because I \u00a0couldn’t remember the company itself, but I remembered the silly promotions of fake products and the phrase “That doesn’t sound right!”, making me wonder how effective the commercial was for the course.<\/p>\n
In addition, I thought about the Super Bowl commercials that everyone talks about the day after Super Bowl Sunday. \u00a0Of the commercials from last year, I recalled the Bud Knight commercials. \u00a0I remembered really enjoying them because the commercials made up a trilogy series, which was entertaining to watch out for in the commercial breaks. \u00a0I thought it was interesting to see the progression of the series, and the story line itself was so unique from other beer commercials. \u00a0These commercials were really memorable, and they gave way to the famous “Dilly Dilly” phrase. \u00a0While I wouldn’t say these commercials are my favorite, they are impressionable for the uniqueness and audience it drew.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
