MTV Redesigns Logo; Drops Music Television

dangerdave — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 10:00:47 +0000

MTV growing up for many people like us meant the spot to catch music videos and news. Over the years they have transitioned from a music hub into a teenager reality show television channel.

It comes to no surprise that MTV has officially taken off the term “Music Television” from their logo and branding.

Music is just not really part of their programming anymore. Aside from a few awards shows, their lineup is full of original programming for the most part.

Somewhere, Martha Quinn is shedding a tear….

But a difference there is. For the first time in the network’s 29-year history, MTV has decided to give the channel’s iconic logo a face-lift.

“The people who watch it today, they don’t refer to MTV as music television. They don’t have the same emotional connection that, say, the people who are writing about [the logo change] do,” MTV’s head of marketing Tina Exarhos said. Indeed, The Wrap called it “a minor change with major symbolism,” while The Hollywood Reporter wrote having “music television” in the old logo was “a constant reminder that MTV was branding itself one way, programming itself another.” [source L.A.

Great Old Spice Commercial

dangerdave — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 05:00:39 +0000

This fantastic Old Spice commercial didn’t appear during the Super Bowl but we think it should have. The guys at Old Spice are not saying this body wash will make your man smell into a romantic millionaire jet fighter pilot, but they are insinuating it.

LOST Opening Credits Circa 1967

dangerdave — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 20:10:50 +0000

One of the biggest events in television this year is ABC’s LOST which is gearing up for an explosive final season. If you haven’t got caught up on the cult TV show you still have a few months before the Series Finale. We say that because you know everyone will be talking about it after it airs.

Here’s a nice gem recently uncovered showing what the opening credits to LOST would look like if the show were around in the late 60’s. The stylish music and graphics are just fantastic.

Ben Harper – Lay There & Hate Me Video

dangerdave — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 20:01:12 +0000

Ben Harper’s extended and uncut music video for the blues/rock single “Lay There and Hate Me” (from the great album “White Lies for Dark Times“) is gladly made available exclusively by our pals at Playboy.com.

The incredibly stylish and sexy music video really does Harper’s sensual song justice. Never trust a woman who loves the blues.

Just don’t try to watch this at work. The video is NSFW!

Classy Google Super Bowl Commercial

dangerdave — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 19:42:03 +0000

For years, Google was enjoying the silence when it came to mainstream advertising on television. Google claimed for years that their products, not advertising, is what made them better than the competition.

Times have changed. If the New Orleans Saints (once the model of failure in the NFL) can reach and win the Super Bowl than why can’t Google run an ad on TV. Stranger things have happened….

If you’re only going to do it once, might as well be during the one time of year you have the most eyes on the Television set. The Google Super Bowl ad is called “Parisian Love” and was actually made and released online back in November as part of Google’s ‘Search Stories’ series of videos.

While most commercials are trying to tell a joke, Google is trying to tell a story.

Verizon vs 4Chan – This Will Get Ugly

dangerdave — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 13:26:44 +0000

Someone at Verizon is about to regret their decision to block the social site 4Chan.

The Internet provide has confirmed that 4Chan is being filtered and “explicitly blocked” which will mean a nasty attack on Verizon by the 4Chan members. Those not on the Verizon network, that is.

4Chan members are known for their pranks and attacks on various targets like large corporations, Scientology, and anyone that gives them a hard time.

What the members of 4Chan will do to retaliate should be interesting as the situation develops.

Kia Super Bowl Commercial : Sock Monkey + Jet Ski = Awesome

dangerdave — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:00:44 +0000

Kia’s odd Super Bowl Commercial featured a crazy cast of odd creatures having fun around town. What stood out for us is the great Sock Monkey who grabs a jet ski and takes on the mechanical bull at a bar. Sock Monkey FTW!

Letterman-Oprah-Leno Super Bowl Ad FTW

dangerdave — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 08:20:39 +0000

One of the best [and most unexpected] moments of the Super Bowl Commercials was the short ad for David Letterman’s show featuring Dave, Oprah, and Jay Leno.

Yup. Jay “Big Jaw” Leno.

The trio of media Kingpins had us hitting the rewind on the DVR as Letterman broke out his Leno impersonation with Oprah sitting between them. It was classic not only because it was funny but also because it was straight out of nowhere.

Check the Super Bowl spot below and find out how Dave convinced Jay and Oprah to to the bit here.

Bud Light Hit and Miss Super Bowl Commercials

dangerdave — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 06:18:40 +0000

Bud Light provide 4 funny Super Bowl Commercials this year and 2 of them had LOST twists. The first one about scientists and an Asteroid features Dr. Marvin Candle from the Dharma Initiative. The other one is more of a direct reference with a group of people stranded on an island with only their Bud Light to keep them alive.

Overall, the batch of ads were enjoyable. Nothing fantastic but enough to get a laugh out of them.

Dennys Chicken Super Bowl Ads

dangerdave — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 04:10:07 +0000

Denny’s aired a trio of quirky Super Bowl Commercials aimed at promoting a free Grand Slam breakfast this Tuesday from 6am to 2pm and a free Grand Slam breakfast on your birthday. The monotone dude announcing the deal we could do without. The chorus of screaming chickens realizing they must make a ton of eggs is awesome!

The other 2 commercials feature chickens freaking out and that made our day. We don’t have a Denny’s close to us so the deal doesn’t matter to us. We just love the chickens.

Snickers Super Bowl Commercial with Betty White, Abe Vigoda

dangerdave — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 03:54:52 +0000

Let’s face it. You can’t go wrong with Betty White in your Super Bowl Commercial. Snickers ups the ante by throwing in some Abe Vigoda and this ad is good for a laugh.
