Here is a great old commercial for one of the first electronic pocket calculators.  It was released in the 70s for around $350 which would be closer to about $1200 adjusted to 2008 currency.  I think I’ll stick with my TI-89.

I’ve recoded this from the source to provide a better version than you can find on YouTube or other sites.  Check it out!

This Starbucks coffee commercial pretty much sums up the feeling you get when your alarm goes off at the start of a week.  I feel a kinship with the creative director. 

Just a clever commercial for English lessons

Notes:
In the 1952 movie Singin’ in the Rain, Gene Kelly does his famous dance routine along the street and by a lamp-post. For this commercial a replica of the Singin’ set was built, and three different dancers were filmed doing some modernized Gene Kelly moves. Then Kelly’s face was superimposed onto the new footage.

One of the modern dancers is David “Elsewhere” Bernal, notable for his pop-lock/liquiding style. (Pretty much everything in this ad where it looks like his body is made of rubber)

Notes:
Created by ad agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky in Miami, Florida, Ikea’s quirky “Lamp” commercial won the Grand Prix award in the “Film” category for the world’s best TV and cinema ads at the 50th Annual Cannes Lions Advertising Festival.
