I don't usually celebrate television commercials, but the new Nike ad which played yesterday at half time of the Metro-San Jose game was absolutely hilarious. When I first saw the guys apply duck tape to the back of a baby doll's head, I thought, 'what the hell?', but the continuation is so funny that my girlfriend and I just laughed ourselves sick.

I can't find a link to it at Nike.com, but I highly recommend that any soccer fan take the time to watch it.

P.S. I am not an employee of Nike or Weiden/Kennedy, though I do admire the latter a great deal.

Great commercial.

It's DUCT tape, btw. Sorry to be so picky. But, this is BS.

Actually, both duck and duct are correct.

Good commercial.

All of the recent Nike commercials are on the nikefootball.com website. Click on the Create Your Own Zine link and tiny thumbnails for the ads are in the top left corner in an annoying stack. Click through a few and you're bound to find the right one. Good commercials!

Thanks for the info. My fave is the Elevator. That looks like it was fun to shoot.

I love the baby doll commercial. It's fun to let out a sickening series of evil cackles every once in a while.

The best part is that you can hear the baby doll laugh after it gets hit.
