The Prius commercial is truly amazing. Thanks for the link showing how they made it, Lindsey! I see something new everytime I watch it.

Ed,

I find it very interesting. What do you think the chances are that these ads were made by people in their late 20s and early 30s? I’d like to read/write a more in depth article about the influence of toys on today’s art/ad world.

I hadn't seen the Insight commercial. Makes me think of Lite-Brite.... though most of you are probably too young to remember. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soFXG2FaONw

Do you guys find it interesting that both of those car commercials seem to appeal to our generation by use of motifs found in Super Mario Bros? Namely, bright saturated colors in the case of the Prius and pixelated forms in the case of the Insight.

Matt,

I counter your Prius with Insight.

A beautiful rendition of “This little light of mine.”

That HBO commercial is great. I knew right away this was an ad, but I don't care... the new Prius commercials are brilliant. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq4nrmnqY9o
