Making Commercials

Almost every night we sit down and watch The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Right at the start I have to take time out to comment that The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson is some of the best television being made. We look forward to watching it every night. Beyond the program we have started to see a very beloved advertising campaign, the one for Aflac. It’s very strange to even think of affection and advertising in the same sentence, but this particular company has keyed in on what has to be the most subtly funny animal-based advertising campaign. Here it is.

We have been laughing so hard at this that it has not only become a catch-phrase for us, but we always stop the DVR and play this companies advertisements each time they come on. This is how commercials should be made.

Late Night Comedy

When I went to visit Scott’s family in Minnesota I had a chance to see the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. I haven’t laughed that hard in a very long time. I used to watch The Tonight Show back when Johnny Carson was on the program and Jay Leno was just the vacation second-banana. Now the late night shows are all a flutter because NBC is thinking about changing time-slots.

I’ve given up on a lot of shows in my life. Shows that aren’t whatever they are desperately trying to be. In this case, funny. Saturday Night Live was the first I think to fall, they simply stopped being funny and just when with hacks trying to be amusing I was bored and stopped watching.

Now that I don’t watch classic television anymore, I only watch what my DVR records and play it back at my liesure I miss out on the usual programs that channels toss up from time to time, like the evening news. I haven’t seriously watched morning or evening news or news programs in years. The DVR lets me watch whatever I want on TV, fast forward through the commercials, and throw away whatever I don’t want anymore.

I am happy though, that I’ve missed out on the amusing’ness of much of what I’m not recording and that I’ve found a uniquely hilarious comic. So far I’ve nearly fallen out of my seat each time I see one of his shows and he’s got a series record order outstanding on my DVR. If you are looking for good TV, I recommend this show, he’s HILARIOUS!
