McVie’s Must See TVCs

Two current television commercials that are fun to watch:

[1] Maggi Sinigang sa Miso TVC—the one where the kid raps ecstatic about the delicious taste of the soup. This is the kind of TVC which lends well to spoofs and imitations. Hook line: “Suspetsa ko mundo’y magiging mapayapa / at masaya!” Why it lodges in my mind: Aside from the excellent performance of the kid, he’s just sooo f**king adorable! His voice, his facial expression, his attitude—he brings out my inner pedophile.

[2] Fita Sandwich TVC—the one where a sergeant barks a bedtime story to lull his platoon to sleep. Hook line: “…andtheylivehappilyeveraftertheend! Sweet dreams!” Why it lodges in my mind: Excellent combination of great casting and performance from the sergeant. His spitting out a fairy tale in drill-sergeant fashion was hilarious. His licking of the sandwich filling in the end shot plus the barracks setting added homoerotic touches to the TVC. Ooh-la-la!
