#3.5 — HomeAway.com — Griswolds
jtherkal: I bet I watch over three National Lampoon’s Family Vacation movies per year. As a movie franchise, that puts it up there with The Bourne series, Rocky, and Rambo. Well ahead of Superman and Friday the 13th. Watching the Christmas Vacation is one of my favorite parts of the holiday, and some of my first tits were seen with Rusty in Europe. I even suffered through Vegas Vacation one a few weeks ago. So I’m sort of excited to see the Griswolds here. I didn’t love-love the commercial, and I can’t view the episodes on the website on this shitty laptop, but I can’t give this any lower than an A-.
sjbooher: I may have never seen a Griswold movie… but I still recognized them. I can’t say that added or subtracted from the value of this ad, for me, though. It probably did hit the age demo that typically rents hotelts, though. I love puns and cats, so I laughed at both the “complementary” and cat poster jokes. I may even have had that poster as a kid, and if I didn’t, David Proudfoot did. This product seems like a good idea. A+
