Napoleon Dynamite Promotes the Utah State Fair
(Filed under: Extracurricular)
The Utah State Fair: All Your Wildest Dreams Will Come True.
Sound familiar? That's right, Napoleon and Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite are shilling for the 150th Utah State Fair (I guess the Idaho State Fair couldn't afford them).
The series features three TV commercials (watch for Napoleon's Totzilla in TV spot 3) and five radio spots (check out radio spot 3 to hear Napoleon try to pronounce "sesquicentennial" and radio spot 5 for probably the best poem he ever did). Just click on "Napoleon's Sweet Ads" at the bottom of the main menu.
For more on Napoleon, check out liger popularity, Taming the Liger and the Microsoft video featuring Bill Gates and Napoleon Dynamite.
Update: Read about the making of the Utah State Fair ads and their runaway success.
