- Coca-Cola: First Taste
- Coca-Cola: Happiness Factory
- Careerbuilder: Promotion Pit
- E*Trade: Finger
- Diamond Nuts: Boogeyman (with Robert Goulet)
- Coca-Cola: Videogame
- Garmin: Mapasarus
- Sierra Mist: Comb-over
- E*Trade: Bank Robbery
- BeatYourRisk: Heart Attack
The embedded video for “First Taste” is the 30-second spot, while the YouTube version is :60. Judge for yourself, but I don’t think the :60 is as effective or tight as the :30 version.
