Once again, I must say that "Ads We Love" isn't quite the right phrase. I love this spot for Skittles, but is there a point I'm missing? I think it works just fine as an out-of-context glimpse at these two radically different people who have somehow crossed paths, with only a love of Skittles connecting them. Actually, as much as the spot confuses me I prefer being left in the dark about this man's anthropomorphic and seductive whiskers. It comes out of left field in a way not many commercials do, and it's a perfect way to grab the attention of younger people who, like myself, get into this kind of weird stuff. Also, can anyone tell me the actor in this commercial? I know I've seen him before. Anyway, here's the spot:
Ads We Love: Skittles' Long Beard

4. I think that the idea is very simple. She is implying that he is lacking "experience". He is obviously letting her know that he can do things that she has never seen and can't possibly imagine, and finishes with a giggle at the absurd notion that he is somehow inadequate for the position. -- How could she not see that he is so much more than just an ordinary man with Skittles? LOL

5. How do I get a commercial like this on my hard drive so I can have it forever?

6. The best commercial is the one with MUFFIN the Bulldog.
The whole family wanted to make sure they fed Muffin!
When we see Muffin, he is huge.
Think it was a cereal ad?
Please comment if you can send a link!
Also the Poker Face Commercial when the wife tells her husband her car was again hit by a meteor!

7. I would like to get across my passion for your generosity for men and women that really need help on your issue. Your real commitment to getting the message across had become unbelievably good and have frequently allowed somebody just like me to get to their targets. Your new useful facts implies a whole lot to me and substantially more to my fellow workers. Best wishes; from each one of us.

1. I think the idea is that his lack of 'experience' shouldn't even be an issue since his beard is so versatile. It helps everyone get more skittles, see?
