Eight million people actually enjoyed an animated advertisement for an electric vehicle. I wouldn’t believe it unless I saw it.

The journey began in April, featuring this relaxing endeavor, which apparently held therapeutic benefits for several viewers. This project was created for the instrumental YouTube channel Lofi Girl, featuring artwork by the Los Angeles-based studio Titmouse.

In fact, it might just be the sole promotional video you’d willingly watch repeatedly, all four hours of it especially if you are studying or just relaxing. Well done, Nissan (a sentence we never imagined penning). I almost didn’t realize that it was an advertisement for the car company. That’s when an ad is doing something, right, correct? At least that’s my opinion.

Do you know Saver’s Remorse is? If not, the Amica Mutual Insurance Company wants to help you understand it. According to the company, they are diagnosing you with Saver’s remorse if you pay less for auto insurance, but the coverage is not what you’d like it to be. Then you might be suffering from this affliction Amica has coined as Saver’s Remorse. Amica has several ads highlighting the various things they cover with their insurance, but I haven’t found different spots for Saver’s Remorse. I thought they would make an entire campaign around a phrase usually known as buyer’s remorse, not what’s discussed in this spot. 

I know I skipped the 2021 Super Bowl list, and I’m a few weeks late with this one, but I think it’s essential to keep some sort of tradition going with Inside That Ad even though I don’t post much on it anymore. So, without any further ado. Here are the ad spots ITA thought were the best for the 2022 Super Bowl:

One more thing, they are in no particular order. I did not want to have to rank the ad spots in any way.

I made a bet with a friend of mine on the outcome of the first World Series game which the Atlanta Braves won. I just so happen to have won the bet and to celebrate my victory I sent my friend this photoshopped image.

I made this by taking a Voyager ad that I found on Twitter and modifying it to be funny enough to send to my friend. Although the empty space at the lower left side of the ad I should have included the section about the BTC. It would have made the comparison more equivalent. Let me know, what you all think. if anyone is interested in buying BTC, I use BlockFi, BlockFi makes it so easy to buy/sell crypto and get loans!

Nike, one of my favorite shoe brands of all time, recently released an ad calling on all Americans not to do what their brand usually tells them to do. Instead, one of the nation’s leading athletic apparel companies called on individuals to not turn their back on the painful issue of racism in the United States. The ads themselves are a series of simple yet powerful statements set on a black background. The comments themselves are a series of cowardice or adverse actions that we should not do. For example, don’t pretend there’s not a problem in America. Don’t turn your back on racism. Don’t accept innocent lives being taken from us. Don’t make any more excuses. Don’t think this doesn’t affect you. Don’t sit back and be silent."

I know this is two months late but I felt it was important to show here on Inside That Ad. Enjoy!

My wonderful wife turned me on to this ad for Etisalat. Etisalat is a multinational Emirati based telecommunications services provider, currently operating in 15 countries across Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. I wanted to discuss the ad here on Inside That Ad because I believe it’s my first time seeing an ad that I confused with a music video. You don’t find out that it is actually advertising a product until the end of the commercial. All the scenes are not in any sort of sequence, there is a slogan and everyone in the commercial is dancing in some fashion.

Burger King, a global brand is rolling out advertisements using real x-rays of injured customers. The customers apparently injured their jaws eating at a Burger King. Each ad includes an associated tweet about the injury. Personally, I’m still not clear how a brand could benefit when customers are injured while consuming their product? Can you answer that question in the comments section below? It seems to me that consumers would be turning away from the brand not being persuaded by its ads.

This Bud is for 3 is the latest spot from Budweiser, featuring the legendary basketball player, Dwyane Wade. The spot successfully and elegantly demonstrates Wade’s impact on and off the court but focuses on the off the court part. Before watching the spot below, grab a box of tissues for the waterworks that will undoubtedly start to flow.

The Commercial

But this spot from Budweiser, featuring Wade’s mother and others he’s inspired and supported through extreme hardship, is obviously even more emotional than the usual parting salutes. Wade helped one of his fans graduate college via a full scholarship. Another lady in the spot lost everything in a house fire so Wade took her and her family on a shopping spree. He also supported yet another family of a fan who died in the Parkland shooting tragedy. In yet another example he motivated one of his fans to change his life for the better, inspiring him to go get a job. Finally, Wade’s own mother spoke about how he stood by her while she was incarcerated and he eventually bought her a church because she was a minister.

This spot for Capital One credit cards is titled “Bracket Buddy.” It features Samuel Jackson, Spike Lee and Charles Barkley check into a hotel. Sir Charles is seen carrying a parrot named Larry “Bird” who will guide his bracket through the March Madness tournament. Larry the bird also serves as Sir Charles’s good luck charm. What is supposed to make the spot really funny is that a few seconds later the real “Larry Bird” walks in with a good luck parrot named Charles Barkley. All three superstars laugh at the irony of the whole situation.
