Have you seen the Kia Soul hamster ad on TV?

13 years ago

I'm not much of a rap fan but this commercial for a Kia car is really well done. It's a group of hamsters - strutting and rapping about a Kia. They have all the rap moves down, and the clothes, gold chains, sneakers, head phones. It's only a minute long if you want to take a quick look.

I stand corrected - apparently it's Hip-Hop. I sure can't tell the difference.

I do like the Twins/Olympic ad! In a way however, the powerful REAL "Human drama" in that story is a little "lessened" in a way because it's for only a "beer". Can't put my finger on exactly WHY, but there's a slight disconnect for ME anyway. This the original 9/11-Clydesdale ad. Aired only once on TV. When the music changes & the team starts to kneel....oh my... Faron Here is a link that might be useful: 9/11 Clydesdales...

I finally got this thread to load and it has left me absolutely floored! Everyone is SO talented! MrsMarv and Whitdobe, I'm thinking about making a couple of ottoman. Dealing with the bunching of fabric at the corners scares me a little so two might be getting some questions! Great projects! Cloe, love the shades. They turned out really well. AJ's, talk about whipping out the projects! I really need to get after things and cross stuff off my list. Your pictures are very inspiring. Iggy- that photo of the three bolts against the wall is beautiful. Your house looks wonderful even empty. Aktillery, I would hang that in my house in an instant! Do you do all of your art? ---- LOL, I just noticed. Is this happening on everyone else's monitor? Above each post, the title of the thread isn't quite how I intended! :OD

Direct TV gave us that dog TV channel free for a month or so. It was amazing. Mia had never ever looked at or paid attention to the TV before. We put it on the channel, she was laying in hubby's lap, and immediately she sat up turned to the TV, ears alert, eyes following the motion and was mesmerized! She would sit there and watch it for long periods. They have different shows I guess, there's play time, exercise time, relaxation time etc. We did not keep it but it was very interesting. It must have had sounds she could hear but we couldn't.

For those of you who want to, or choose to, boycott products because you hate their ads so much ... make sure that you contact the company to let them know the result in your case. And for those who dislike the spelling of the name of the company, how about sending them a bunch of emails, saying the name ... "and that's spelled ....", then telling them how you react to it. (I missed the "t" in "..elling" ... and almost hit the "y" when doing the edit: subconscious mind at work?). Complaints here don't count for much ... but when you let the advertisers know, they may. If they are doing careful evaluation. ole joyful

I didn't know there was a difference betwixt hiphop and rap. But I usually pull my pants up over my buttcrack so how would I know?

It was a cute commercial but I don't think I could handle seeing it too many times. It's a limited effectiveness one to me. But it was well done. I did like the toaster.

It is one of my husbands fave ads I have no idea why LOL

our all time fave ad is the travelers insurance one with the dog and his bone, it has won many awards. Plus I love the song.

Wow. I HATE it. I'd rather buy the toaster on wheels than a Kia because of those ads. DH can't stand it either.

LOVE the hamster ad!
LOVE the dog-worried-about-where-to-keep-his-bone ad!

(In fact, the hamster ad made me finally go do a test-drive of the Soul. I think it's a cute car. But too small for my suburban driving. If I lived in the city, it'd be a different situation.)

I love the Kia Soul commercial! I would rewind when that came on just so I could see it again when it first came out. Also enjoy the Traveler's insurance dog and bone commercial. Love how some of the commercial agents can come up with their point and be so funny and cute!

Now why can't they make those awful feminine hygiene products or Viagra or incontinence or osteoporosis ads clever like that? I'd rather they just remove them but since that's not going to happen maybe a different approach would make them less annoying.

Now I'm gonna be singing that all day!

While I do that little fist-rolling move the hamster in the passenger seat does at the end (that one's my favorite character)
