 Ameriquest ad |
 Krung Thai Bank ad |
Thanks to Loren for pointing this out review of a Superbowl commercial that copies a Thai TV ad: Ameriquest breaks out its second funny ad of the evening. In the first one, a guy talking on his cell phone about a negotiation—"You are being robbed!"—gets mistaken for a crook. In this second spot, an innocent man looks like a brutal cat-killer—thanks to some spilled pasta sauce. These ads brought me closer to the verge of laughter than anything else I saw tonight. (Though a reader e-mailed me after the game to point out that the cat ad may be somewhat derivative. Check out this spot for what appears to be a Thai bank.)
