I saw this ad before the Super Bowl, but it was neat to see it on TV. It's like a miniature 30 second bad SyFy movie that was actually fun to watch. Doberhuahua. I want a stuffed toy one! I love this ad!



And the snowstorm that started last night but finished this a.m. sucked. The snow was like creme brulee... crunchy on top, soft underneath, due to snow first, then sleet, then cold. However, as the hours wore on, the snow was more like slushy concrete as it packed down from the rain, although the top was still crusty so I had to break it with the shovel. Road wasn't plowed till mid-afternoon so didn't get to work. I'd rather have been at work than shoveling shoveling...

And more snow comes on the weekend. I want to be in Tahiti....

We have watched this about 5 times. Hilarious!

I'm probably on 10 or 12 times now, if not more.... :)

That one is very funny. I love the Budweiser Puppy one.

This one had me in stitches!

The Bud puppy was the cutest, Coke's was the most moving but this one.... *uncontrollable laughter.*

I also liked the Chobani yogurt with the bear in the store. But Doberhuahua. Ah, SyFy missed out on this gem! ;)

hee! Thanks.
I hope the new snow isn't too bad for you.
Ours is so dry it looks like crystals.

Yup, very shiny. Frozen outside. Must now go to work. Shudder. More snow predicted for the weekend. I hope it's not a Nor'easter.

So... the commercial is a bit funny, if you look at it on the surface. But I can't help noticing that a) - I kinda * like* mutts, most Americans do I think, so the whole idea that a mixed breed dog is somehow a "compromise" doesn't really resonate with me; and b) - a German company extolling, essentially, "pure breeds" ... not ... really ... comfortable with that...

I like mixed breeds as they're sturdier. Purebreds are bred too much and cancers and other diseases run rife :( Hadn't thought of the pure bred thing and Germany. Yeah, hmm, I get your drift. For me, it's a funny mini-Syfy ad as I don't like Audis. Virtually all Audis in my area are driven by arrogant people who think they own the road.

Wait, isn't a miniature pincher technically the same as a doberhuahua? But, yeah, I get what the ad is getting at ;) so funny. And it really could be a Syfy movie. Perhaps with a few tornadoes and sharks thrown in, because it's not SyFy without a shark or tornado (or giant snake, or giant gator...)

Interesting comparison to an ad for a SyFy movie because the first time I saw this, I came in in the middle where the dogs are everywhere and I thought is WAS a really strange movie ad. I was thinking, "what the heck???". Once I saw the whole thing it made a lot more sense (LOL)!

I also loved the Radio Shack commercial with all the 80's shows - I remembered most of them. But my favorite was the puppy and the horse. I'm a total sucker for stuff like that.

And I'm with you on heading for Tahiti! This winter sucks. We haven't been as hard hit as up north, but when we get anything, the temperature drops WAY below freezing and ice just stays and stays and stays. So far we have six snow days to make up at the end of the school year and that's a lot for us. I think I need to move further south. Much further south. We can't even get snow for snow cream or snowmen - just a bunch of freezing rain and sleet and ice everywhere you look. Have I mentioned how much I hate winter??? Where's my suitcase???
