Yes, it probably was largely computerized. That doesn’t change the fact that it was expertly choreographed. You can’t just tell a computer “Put all of these things together and make it look cool”. Some human has to decide who’s going to appear where, doing what, when. Whether on a stage or inside a computer, that’s choreography, and it was done well.

The ad with the mudflap chrome lady was a lot sexier than the GoDaddy one, and not nearly as stupid. Even before it got to the punchline with Yosemite Sam.

And I have mixed feelings about the Kermit ad. On the one hand, I hate to see Muppets selling out. On the other, though, it’s really no different than any other celebrity endorsement, most of which I don’t mind at all. And it did fit: Hybrid cars are “green”, and Kermit probably does like them.

Ah, THAT was the one I laughed at. Very random.

K, so now I have to admit I like that one, and Stunt City was clever. So that makes three good ones.
