No Thanksgiving meal is complete without a hearty helping of cheap, cheap meat. This seasonal spot from Price Chopper and agency DeVito/Verdi has some fun with the reputation that discount grocers have long had for stocking less-than-prime cuts. Directed by Rick Knief of Accomplice Media, the ad is mostly worth watching just for the actors' reactions, which are definitely Grade A.

Logo TV reminds its "savvy audience of gay trendsetters and straight friends who are ahead of the curve" to twerk their turkeys this Thanksgiving, but not with stuffing or ham. What's their gripe with ham? Also, you can't twerk something else. Twerking has to come from within. I thought everyone knew that by now. The booty-popping headstands at 1:17 cracked me up, though. And Logo TV's Miley Cyrus gif, based off the video, is pretty ridiculous also.

Kids still say the darndest things. AT&T and BBDO New York keep up their rich tradition of child-centric, ad-lib style spots (they are lightly scripted but most quickly become improvised) with this Thanksgiving gem.
Even granting the it's-so-easy-kids-can-get-it premise, Beck Bennett's opening question this time—"What's better: better or not better?"—is a little too obvious (or maybe just dumb) to elicit much more than an annoyed twitch. But what follows—the idea of bringing a pet turkey to T-Day dinner—is plenty entertaining, if arguably low-hanging fruit as well.
Regardless, the kid is right: A live turkey would be a way less boring Thanksgiving guest than a dead one. Nobody really likes to eat the bird anyway.

Thinking of frying a turkey this holiday season? Hang on a minute, and listen to what Si and Jase have to say.
State Farm has partnered with the popular stars from Duck Dynasty to caution turkey fryers everywhere to think before they fry. All the important tips are there, along with some country color, a delightfully slow delivery and the hashtag #hangonaminute.
Turkey-related mishaps must be a serious problem for State Farm. Two years ago, they commissioned William Shatner to overact a beautiful four-minute drama about the dangers of open flame, oil, and frozen bird flesh. So be sure to defrost that bird, turn off the gas when you slide her in, and we’ll all stay happy, happy, happy.

São milhares de chamadas de emergência para incêndios residenciais nos Estados Unidos a cada ano, sendo que 69% são originadas por acidentes em cozinhas. Com base nestas estatísticas, começou a busca por uma solução inusitada que chamasse a atenção para este assunto sério.
Foi aí que a companhia de seguros americana State Farm optou por uma ideia nada inovadora: divulgar o mesmo vídeo de 2011, porém com uma cara diferente. O protagonista é o ator William Shatner que faz bem o seu papel, questiona a audiência e instiga sobre os cuidados necessários para a segurança na cozinha.
Com nova produção e um remix bem divertido, foi transformado em hit animado para as redes sociais, aproveitando a época das celebrações e do famoso peru de Thanksgiving.
E uma informação que vem por último, porém não menos importante: é possível que essa nova melodia te acompanhe durante todo o seu dia. Não que ela seja inesquecível, mas o refrão-chiclete pega.
O vídeo original de 2011 abaixo para você poder comparar.
Música, letra e remix foram produzidos pela State Farm em parceria com John D. Boswell, criador do “Remixes for the Soul” no YouTube.
