My next favorite commercial of 2007

And again it goes to LG and Verizon, the same people behind the last commercial for the Envy phone I discussed.

This phon starts in a nicely lit kitchen, with a father, daughter, and son standing in various spots. The dad talks about the Chocolate phone his daughter got, and the Envy phone his son got, and how they both got "The Network." With his shilling done he moaps the line "What did dad get?" "Aftershave?" his daughter helpfully entones. "Noooo.. dad got hosed!"

How true! Dad's probbaly frequently feel like they got the short end of the stick when it comes to Christmas gifts, and just gifts in general at various times of the year. honestly, when was the last time you sent your dad something for fathers day? Now when was the last time you sent your mom flowers and a card for Mother's Day? I'd say this ad pretty accurately gauges the post-holiday feelings of many fathers.

Kudos to Verizon and LG's current advertising agencies. Right now they have my favorite ads on TV. We'll see if they can keep it up. Eventually al companies stumble.
