One-Second Ads

2009 Super Bowl Commercials Will Include Minimercial From Miller High Life

Super Bowl commercials are notoriously hilarious, innovative and ridiculously expensive. Miller High Life is hoping to go for the trifecta with a one-second ad that’s meant to be a budget-friendly but attention-grabbing campaign.

The ad stars Windell Middlebrooks, who told the Boston Herald that the shoot lasted 17 hours, with nary a break for a frosty brew in the cold New York weather. It looks like Miller High Life’s efforts will pay off. The ad campaign is one of the most-discussed Super Bowl commercials in the media this week.

Check out Middlebrooks’ introduction to the Miller High Life one-second ad above, and check out the outtakes that didn’t make the cut for the official Super Bowl commercials below:
