Commercial Humor
It has occurred to me that the very best advertising comes from alcohol companies and automobile manufacturers. For example: who could forget Louie the disgruntled lizard, and his bitter hatred for the Budweiser frogs (and didn’t we all hate the frogs?) And those who have seen the TrunkMonkey campaign for Suburban Auto Group have to admit that they are a work of singular comedic genius. In fact, this car commercial got me thinking about this topic in the first place. These are just a few of the humorous, innovative marketing ideas that these two industries have spawned. Now, I understand that these are two sectors that rely particularly heavily on advertising, but of all the industries to be put next to each other in advertising prowess, I think it’s funny that it would be drinking and driving.

While the title of the TrunkMonkey clips are quite humorous, the commercials in and of themselves, we find somewhat lacking. Kylee and I would just like to add that we could never give birth with a monkey in attendance.

Allow me to point out that the funniest TrunkMonkey commercial and the one which I had in mind when writing this blog is the car theft retrieval system (plus) commercial. I’m willing to bet that Tweedle-Dum and Tweedle-Dumber didn’t get a look at that one because it is absolutely priceless… “Because sometimes just getting your car back is simply not enough.”
