I don't know what to make of these commercials. I'm not even sure what my opinion of them is. The first time I saw one, my reaction was "What the hell??!" I guess I like watching 'em like I like watching the aftermath of a car crash. I'm not even sure if anyone outside of California gets them.
Here's the first one in the series (hapless bum becomes over-the-top 70's-style rock star when angel comes down and gives him electric guitar filled with milk):
The website for this ad campaign is just as over-the-top:

Growth hormone, maybe?
Have you seen them before, Big Momma? I think the Got Milk campaign is national, but at the end of the commercial, there's something in print about the California Milk Advisory Board. So, I don't know.

No, here in New England it would be, "Got milk in your chowda"?

I was planning to bring up this ad last night but didn't get around to it. It's really bizarre but I'm not surprised because a lot of the "Got Milk" commercials are strange. I happened to visit the advertising agency that does these commercials in San Francisco. They must be doing something right - they had over 300 Clio and other awards in their lobby.
They also have a MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/whitegoldiswhitegold The songs are fairly decent. I wonder why the milk industry is so desperate for business that they have to do a full on advertising campaign. |

Yeah, I wonder about that, too. It's not like they're competing with anyone.

Maybe they're competing with people who drink soy milk?!? It's just a bizarre commercial and the glam rock music seems to appeal to hipsters. When I think of milk drinkers, children and older adults come to mind. |

There ya go. Maybe they want to appeal to the hipsters who you don't normally think of as being milk drinkers. A white gold star and a gallon of milk for blast-off girl!!

This commercial is driving me crazy.
The white gold guy has those bugged-out eyes that I hate, and he's a freakin' mess. He looks like a has-been rock-and-roller, and the "White gold is" is just beyond annoying. Go away!!! |
