The Return of Wow

I've noticed a trend lately. The return of wow. And it's not a bad thing. I really enjoy both of these spots. The George Takei spot for Sharp is just plain hilarious. George Takei's voice is amazing by the way—why hasn't he been doing Jeff Bridges amounts of voice over work? The first time I saw this I laughed until my stomach hurt.

Now the second one is controversial. Lots of people are hating on the Staples wow guy. The argument is that he's too over the top. Well, duh. That's the punchline. Staples has prices so low it will blow your mind. Thus, the 10,000 volt head jerking "Wow! That's a low price!" I think it's awesome. And I'm not just saying that because my sister agency in New York created it. So enjoy the current zeitgeist of wow.
