Verizon Wireless — Walking Girl
jtherkal: This ad has almost 4,000 views on our YouTube channel, and I can’t even begin to tell you why. What makes people seek it out? I read the YouTube comments and the answer is: because this girl is hot. Sex still sells, and you don’t really even have to sex it up that much. I like part of the monologue, when she says “I plan on calling back Justin, Troy, Brad…Hey Brad…not Brad…” Perhaps viewers get the sense that this lass is a bit of a sure thing. I guess people notice this, but it still seems like a mediocre effort to me. C+.
sjbooher: Further research seems to indicate that this is Becky O’Donohue, a one-time American Idol contestant. Maybe that explains the popularity of the ad on YouTube? When I first used to see this, I always wondered, “why do they make her strip like that? It seems slutty.” Well, now, I guess that was the point. I do like the music and dialog, I suppose. I’ll stick with the same grade.

this commercial is fun. she is attractive, but the way she moves and speaks to the beat of the music is spot on. but what i like about the commercial is the several voice inflections and gestures that say much more than what she says out loud. her expressiveness makes her a very like-able girl next door type that increases her attractiveness.
