AdNausea

So, after a long hiatus, I am back in all my glory. Yes, yes, it’s true. To make up for my long absence, I thought I would share with you something I am noticing more and more (and if you watch television, you are too, probably). VOICEOVERS. Yes, it seems that the economy is tough on everyone these days - so much so that everyone from Stockard Channing to Zack Braff need a little bit of extra money and are finding it in the world of doing voices for commercials.

Celebrities pushing a product by appearing in a commercial is nothing new (I mean, how many products does Brooke Sheilds actually endorse? Jeesh, she’s in everything besides movies and television shows these days) but I’ve never noticed so many celebrities endorsing products without actually putting in the face time. Yes, my puns will make you laugh.

So, here are the ones I noticed and quite a few more I picked up on a forum here.

Zach Braff - Cottonelle Puppy
Zach Braff - Britta Water Filters
Susan Sarandon-Stouffer’s
Ed Norton - Miller Genuine Draft
Matt Dylan - Pontiac
Gene Hackman - Lowe’s
Gene Hackman - Oppenheimer Funds

John Krasinski - Ask.com
Antonio Banderas - The Nasonex bee
Queen Latifah- Pizza Hut
Sean Connery - Level 3 Communications
Jeff Bridges - Duracell
Patricia Clarkson - BMW
Patricia Clarkson - Milky Way Lite
Donald Sutherland - Volvo
Will Arnet - Lamisil Toe Fungus
Gilbert Gottfried - the AFLAC duck
Mario Cantone - Sunsilk Haircar

Patrick Dempsey - Life cereal
Kiefer Sutherland - Apple Intel

David Duchovny - dog food (Purina?)
Christian Slater - Panasonic
George Clooney - Budweiser

That’s a pretty big list, but I know there are more out there. Who has seen or heard any of these? Who knows of more? Or correct ones I might have wrong. Let’s kick this new post off with a bang!
