Olympic commercials

Like most Canadians, I spent much of my time during the past two weeks watching various Olympic sports. But being an ad fan, I paid close attention to the commercials in between events. And I thought it felt like the Superbowl! The quality and entertainment value of the ads was quite high, and were thoroughly enjoyable to watch. I even took the time to rewind a few of my favourites with my new-found PVR. There were obviously ones that got repetitive and irritating, like the talking Chevy cars, and ones that didn't seem to fit. McDonalds: Eat like an Olympian? I'm pretty sure Olympic athletes stay as far away from fast food as possible. But here are some of my favourites that never got old.

The ad for British Columbia. I can never get enough Ryan Reynolds.

The patriotic Coca-Cola ad. Especially the updated gold medal version.

And finally, the hilarious Old Spice ad. I want that man for more than his smell.
