No dogs joined the legion of the undead in the making of this commercial. Uh, I think.
No, wait. I’m sure of it.
Watch all three spots in the campaign, plus additional behind the scenes footage and outtakes over here. They’re all pretty funny (and include some footage that will haunt one particular kid for the rest of his life.)
I like that Yahoo! released the behind the scenes footage at the same time as the campaign itself; this should both drive more people to the videos and help them feel “in the know.”
And helping people to become “in the know” is the Yahoo! positioning, right? Yep, win-win.

Today I’ll be making the long drive to Tahlequah, Oklahoma, the capital of the Cherokee Nation, where my Grandmother lives and is in the hospital. She’s quite old, quite sick and has refused a feeding tube. I’m just today beginning to feel well enough after being under the weather to believe I won’t expose my mother and father, who are holding vigil and aren’t in the best of health themselves, to anything that might make them ill. My brother has also flown in from Florida, but I don’t so much mind making him sick.
I haven’t mentioned this impending trip on Adverb until now because, really, it isn’t much fun to talk about and has taken some time for me to deal with, anyway.
I expect my access to the Internet to be absolutely spotty and minimal at best over the next several days, which leads me to a joke I’m sure to get an email or two about:
Q: Why does Texas not simply fall into the Gulf of Mexico?
A: Because Oklahoma sucks.
Update: Too late. As I was finishing up a hot shower before heading out on the trip, my brother called to say my Grandmother– “Grannie” to us– passed away last night at 10:02. I’m waiting to hear back about the funeral arrangements.
