My favorite avertisement for sports is the old spice commercial with Greg Jennings. It begins with Greg Jennings lying in bed with a woman and holding up a deoderant stick of oldspice. Suddenly, the bed is on the playing field and Greg Jennings is carrying the bed and the woman through and around defenders. He talks smoothly and even catches a ball, while scoring a touchdown on the end. He makes a witty joke about giving the girl pancakes andthe commercial ends with him smiling and holding up an old spice deoderant stick. The commercial endswith the famous old spice whistle in the backround.

    Athletes are typically used in advertisements directed towards men. Old spice is trying to give you the impression that you will get many more women by using their deoderant compared to rivals. Also, it doesn't hurt that Greg Jennings just came off a Super Bowl victory about 2 years ago. The humor in the video is hilarious, as well. Commercials like these tend to attract many viewers because it featues a star player that is saying funny things. If this was an average joe telling you to buy old spice, you probably wouldn't because no one really dreams ofbeing an average joe. Old spice has a catchy tune and their humor seems to attract many buyers that hope to be just like Greg Jennings.

I woke up and looked at my alarm *11:00 a.m.* crap, I'm late again for work. I've unsuccessfully tried to get fired the last couple days. I hate my job, the people I work with, and just about everything that my company stands for. I got changed and headed over to my job. I took my time getting there, realizing that if I was already 4 hours late, an extra 10 minutes shouldn't really matter. By the time I got there, my boss was waiting for me at my desk. He said, " This is the 3rd day in a row that you've been late, you're fired." I flipped my desk over and replied "You can't fire me, I quit!" He stopped me right there, and said "Hold on just a second. That's the kind of passion I like to see out of my workers. You're rehired!" I replied "Are you serious?" To which he said, "No, I was just kidding, security is coming to escort you out right now." I stormed into the elevator and said that I'll walk myself out. Apparently, the security guards were already in the elevator, and thought that I was trying to attack them. So, they both tazed me. I was taken to the county jail, where I fell asleep. When I woke up, I was lying in a bed and it was morning. Whew, it was all a dream. "Good morning sunshine", said the person next to me. I looked up and it was my cellmate. Damn, I'm still in jail.

Dodgeball is they typical underdog movie. Although the main purpose of the movie is not inspirational, it still has many of the qualities of a sports movie. The movie begins by introducing 2 different gyms. One of the gyms is Globogym, the best and most expensive one. The other is the protaganist's gym, which is called Average Joes's. This gym has n more money to pay rent, and must find a way to come up with some. So, they enter a dodgeball tournament to win $50,000. Average Joe's team consists of a nunch of nonathletic guys who look scruffy, while Globogym, led by Ben Stiller, has ripped dudes.

Patches, a former Dodgeball champion, comes to train the misfits of Average Joe's. In many sports movies, the coach is the one that inspires the players to become the best that they can be. Patches works the players of Average Joe's hard, and eventually they become pretty good. However, he dies and the team is left without a coach before the championship game against Globogym. Death is something that sports movies use all the time to make the viewer feel a connection or feel sorry for the guys of that team. Average Joe's ends up defeating Globogym, partially because of Globogym's overconfidence. Dodegeball was an underdog story that combined humor, but also used the inspiration of a sports movie.

Harold and Kumar: White Castle is my favorite movie of all time. Basically, the movie is about two stoners that get an extreme craving eat at a burger restaurant, but get into an adventure on the way. Harold is asian and Kumar is Indian. Kumar is in medical school and is afraid of becoming a stereotypical Indian doctor like his father wants him to be. Instead, he enjoys smoking a huge amount of cannabis every day so that he can relieve the stress that his father has placed on him. They get sidetracked many times on their way to White Castle. In one instance, they run into Neil Patrick Harris, the guy from How I Met Your Mother. It turns out that he is on ecstasy and is acting crazy. Neil Patrick Harris steals their car and leaves them in a racist part of town where they are arrested for no particular reason. Eventually, they escape and make their way to White Castle. As they see White Castle over the cliff , a police officer corners them in. They use the hang glider that was convienently located in the back of the truck that they stole, and successfully land next to White Castle. They are starving and order almost 100 white castle burgers, when they realize that they have no cash. Neil Patrick Harris walks in and pays for everything as an apology for stealing their car in the first place. The story ends with Harold and Kumar planning a trip to the Netherlands, where they can smoke more weed.
