| Screen Capture From The First Video Below: Trunk Monkey Commercial |
Hi!
I've almost stopped watching most television because it has become nothing more than a commercial generator and endless paid programs hawking junk I'll never need.
When I do turn the TV on—I've been keeping track of how many times I start out with commercials rather than actually landing on a program.
It's way more that 50% of the time that I hit advertisements first thing.
In my life I've had to sit through endless commercial pitches for medicines I'll never use, feminine products I'll never need, cars I can't afford, and products I'll never buy.
And since most stations run their advertising at approximately the same time—trying to channel surf away from them is usually pointless.
So I've been hitting the mute button and putting the guide up that hides most of the screen when I'm waiting for the commercial breaks to end (many are up to 5 minutes long now) and the program I'm waiting for to begin.
--------------------------------
Rarely however, commercials—even for things I don't want are entertaining—and break through the fog of lame and boring advertisements.
Today I happened upon a series of commercials for a car dealership that I truly found engaging and hilarious.

They're for a fictitious auto "option" called a "Trunk Monkey" that puts a live chimp in your trunk for road-side assistance, help with using the phone wile your driving, car theft, traffic stops, and even dealing with road-raging drivers.
IMHO the premise and execution of these ads are excellent—and definitely tickle my funny-bone—and so are worthy of being shared here.
: )
I've embedded some of the best below—and they're only 30 seconds long (the last one is only 16 seconds)—so if you disagree—this blog won't be wasting your time either.
Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
Thanks for stopping by.
See you again soon.....
