So you know that "This one's going in my cringe compilation" meme that's been making the rounds on the Internet lately? At it turns out, the image used for that meme actually comes from a lost HP camera commercial. This commercial and the entire campaign it was a part of was pretty much forgotten until know, so we only know a few things about it.
- There have only been two screenshots salvaged from this commercial, the first one being from the meme, the second one being this:
- The exact camera model the ads were for was the HP Photosmart 945, which released in 2003, two years after the original Shrek movie and one year before Shrek 2 was released.
- The guy who made the model for the camera was Steve McGrath. Maybe we could contact him and see if he knows anything about this?
- This commercial is part of the few other commercials Dreamworks did for HP. This one, for example, was done for the release of Shrek the Third.
Other than these few bullet-points, there doesn't seem to be anything else online about these commercials. This whole ad campaign is very interesting, however, so it would be nice to know just a little bit more about this ad.
