Most Unusual Commercials: Cuban Gynecologist & AutoSalesman

September 22, 2009

I’d buy a bag full o’ shit if Rhett and Link were promoting it. They are probably the best creative duo for online-video promotions, and I’ve written about many of their promotions, from Butterfinger to Alka Seltzer.

Perhaps their weirdest campaign, “I Love Local Commercials,” has the comedic pair bringing life to an otherwise boring company called Microbilt, which serves small companies.

Rhett and Link will be traveling America again, and making local commercials for lucky folks like… the cuban gynecologist and American autosalesman. Here’s the video introducing the campaign, and below is the charming  “making of.”

And to applaud Microbilt’s willingness to not overly whore itself in the videos (even its company site is 2 clicks from the campaign landing page), I will now list a series of things Microbilt can do for you.

And yes I’ve already nominated Nalts Consulting. I can’t think of something that would make me more proud than to hear the lovely voices of Rhett and Link espouse the power of online-video and social media. What rhymes with social media?

Rhett and Link are funny. They make me giggle.

Just to put it out there… unlike many people that have found some success on YT, these two haven’t turn into douche bags. I wish them all the best. They deserve it.

P.S. Kevin… don’t take offense… I’m not saying you’re a douche bag. Sheesh… you get so sensitive!

Net Neutrality is within reach. Can you feel it?

Yes, that will solve this recession: bigger dance moves from Cuban gynecologists trying to sell us dump trucks!!! Somebody call Obama.
