In a contextually relevant sense, this is YouTube Thursday

PrintFor this YouTube Thursday, we thought we'd dwelve into the Cal ads a bit and some other videos about Cal as a whole. Some are produced by Cal, others appear not to be. One I just stumbled upon and is from some dude (some dude!).
The first is, by far, the absolute classic. A home run. A touch down. A 3 point shot from a moderately far range. Ok, basketball needs a better analogy for epic success.
THIS IS OUR DOMICILE!
This one says "This is our house." Did they even see the domicile video???
This one reminds me of those old UC Jazz flyers with the guy saying "You See Jazz?"
And the director's cut:
Why I like about this video is that they got like Steve Reich or Terry Riley and are unapologetic about it. Why do ads have to make sense??
This one is long. But fair. But also long:
Berkeley clearly didn't produce this video, but hey, let's learn more:
This is just a bunch of kids talking. I was once one of those kids! And I can talk (lord knows how I can talk!). They should have asked me:
Another produced ad:
This is a Berkeley video I just stumbled upon about some dude's first quarter in 1970. Interesting stuff:
This isn't really related, but it apparently just aired, it's about DeSean going to the Iggles from the Iggles perspective:
And finally, speaking of avant garde composers like Steve Reich and Terry Riley, one of my favoritest Philip Glass songs evair. There's no video, just the audio being played, but it's so sick.........................
Damn, that's good. GO BEARS!

Best. Commercial. Ever.
Without a doubt, ‘This is Our Domicile’ is the best commercial for anything ever.
1. It stars God.
2. It delivers the message in a smarty/clever way. (i.e. subtextual)
3. It’s awesomely funny.
4. Profit.
We’re depressed we couldn’t find that Cal commercial with the graduation cap flying about. That might be the worst commercial ever (unless we can find that K-State Power one).

F Yeah
I LOVED that commercial.
I'm still wondering why the Nets didn't draft Leon Powe.

The flying cap commercial was so bad it made me want to renounce my alma mater and go live in a shed in the woods, foresaking technology as the downfall of mankind.

I’m starting to notice that most of my posts have a mid-1990’s slant to them. Just let me know when you need a Macarena joke.

Feel free to post as many photos of her as possible:

Wow, Twist. Always thinking two moves ahead.
How’s this for a Cal connection to her? Back in 1990 or so, she dated Adam Duritz

Wait, are you saying the Domicile commercial or the Power Towel commercial? Because I could see both. Depends on how much you hate your roommates.

Does anyone remember...
the terrible ad a few years ago showing a bunch of incoming freshmen (a.k.a. high schoolers) holding up their newly laminated student ID saying “this is my ID”?
Now THAT’S a bad university commercial.
i totally remember that one
the girl at the end made a little ‘raahrr’ sound as she flashed her new student ID, as though she were an actual bear. it was so terrible it was funny.
and no, i couldn’t find it on YouTube.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
I couldn’t find it either.
Also, I think they chose some of the most unattractive people for that ad—and they weren’t even students yet! Just imagine what they would look like after the Freshman 15 sets in and they stop caring about their appearance because of their schedule: Math 1A, Chem 1A, Physics 7A, History of Art 62.
The horror…the horror.
