I hope these make you smile: a chipmunk + two commercials
Just watched this over at Ecorazzi and knew I had to pass it along. I always wondered what these little guys looked like in slow motion while washing so now I know. So adorable! I wish I saw more chipmunks. I remember having exceptionally nice encounters with them while camping in Canada in my childhood.
I saw a list of Superbowl commercials for this year on Sunday and this one was my absolute favorite by far. It reminded me of my brothers and I as little kids. My brothers were huge Star Wars fans and I always watched the films with them. It’s pretty cool that Volkswagen chose to use Star Wars as their theme for a commercial even though the last real Star Wars film was released over five years ago.
The Nimbus Factory reminded me about this commercial yesterday. It was my very favorite of last year’s Superbowl commercials. I love how the commercial tells a story and it’s about Paris (which I’ve loved ever since my trip there two years ago)!
Had you already seen these videos? What are your thoughts? Have you watched any fantastic videos lately that you’ve just got to share? I’d love to see them!

I just looked for it on YouTube. Is it the Chrysler Eminem one? So random! I’ve never actually been TO Detroit, but I’ve driven through it probably about ten times or so. I have to say, I’ve never seen it in that way.

I’d never seen the google ad before – I don’t have a TV so live in a bit of a ad-free bubble. Watched it twice – so cute.

I’ve seen the second too (love that google one), but the little chipmunk is new to me. I want to take him home and love him but I worry my cats would also love him in not such a good way.

I love all those videos!!! The chipmunk was super cute!! I’d never seen one wash in slow motion before! That was just adorable.
I didn’t get to see any of the super bowl commercials. I LOVED the star wars one! That was just too cute!! Did you find any other super bowl commercials that were good??
I liked the how to impress a french girl one as well!! Makes me wonder if guys actually do that in real life!! lol

I’m so glad all of you loved these videos so much! Thank you for the lovely comments!
Misty – I did watch a couple more, but I bet there were quite a few good Super bowl commercials. Star Wars is still my favorite, though!
