Google adds two new commercials to the "Calling all..." series

posted by Michael H. / Dec 15, 2011, 9:43 AM

The Galaxy Nexus has gotten two more TV ads to add to the pile. The new ads show off Face Unlock and more amateur musicians using Google+ Hangouts, and are definitely looking good. These two commercials bring the running total to 4 commercials for the Galaxy Nexus and Ice Cream Sandwich. The first time we saw the "Calling all..." series, we got an overview of Android 4.0, and then we started digging into the features. Next brought "social MCs" to Hangouts, and this time we get Face Unlock and bohemians on Hangout.

We're a little more preferential to the Face Unlock commercial, because it's kind of funny. We're still not sold on modern "bohemians", but the second commercial is about what you'd expect. Google is really pushing the music options with Hangouts, but we'd rather see more of the social MCs. Still, some solid new commercials from Google.

If the kid would have drawn a mustache on his finger, it might have worked.

My girlfriend loves to watch that show "Don't Forget the Lyrics" or whatever it is, there was a girl on the show one time who had a tattoo of a mustache on her finger so when she held it up like that it looked like she had a mustache. Absolutely hilarious... She was a cute girl too haha

I have a handle bar mustache tattoo on my right pointer finger, a little devil goatee tattoo on my right middle finger, and a frayed old man mustache on my left pointer finger. Love when customer's see them, they are a great conversation. The only problem is finger tattoo's fade real easily, so I've had to touch one up and need to get the rest touched up. Trying to get the rest of my fingers as mustaches but just had a kid and those little things steal your money!
