You've probably seen the ads for Vegas where people come up with excuses to take time off to go to Vegas. But, you may have not seen the web video companion pieces, which are far more hilarioius. I discovered them this morning and found them very funny and offbeat – perfect for the web enviornment. So, they get this week's Ad of the Week honors. Below, you'll see the extended version of the TV spot for "Excuses – Chinchilli Day" – it's a bit over the top and I think the :30 may actually work better, but it sets up the web videos nicely. The next two are web videos where the chinchillas who appeared in the ad are interviewed "Hollywood Insider" style. These are pretty funny, especially the first one.
"What's Your Excuses - Chinchilli Day Part 2"
"The Main Attraction: Interview with Chinchilla Star"
"The Main Attraction: Chinchilli Day Star Tells All"
I hope you enjoyed them as much as I did.
