Dad’s Favorite Piece Of Media Still Commercial From 2005
Share this

HIALEAH, FL—Despite ready access to an almost inexhaustible archive of exceptional movies, television shows, and print literature, local dad Brett Colston declared Friday that his favorite piece of media was a commercial from 2005. “I’m not sure if it was a Super Bowl ad originally, but you guys have to see it if I can dig it up,” said Colston, bypassing millennia of collective human creativity to enter the keywords “talking horse,” “commercial,” and “Jessica Alba” into a YouTube search bar as his family indifferently looked on. “Where the hell is it? I can’t believe it’s not coming up immediately. Okay, I think the ad was maybe for a truck or SUV or something. You guys really have no idea what I’m talking about? Man, it’s so hilarious. You’ll know it instantly when I find it, trust me.” At press time, Colston, who could have been watching cinematic masterpiece The Godfather, was reportedly still searching for his commercial by working his way through a three-hour compilation of the best ads of the 2000s.
