Hornitos Tequila’s 2010 “Cougar” commercial, which has been airing on television stations nationwide, has become one of the most talked-about advertisements of the year. As a result of its popularity, it will on appear on TBS’ “Funniest Commercials of the Year,” which highlights funny advertisements from around the world.

 

 

The commercial begins with a guy bragging to his friend about how he is about to call a hot “cougar” whom he met the night before, while drinking a bottle of Hornitos Tequila to start the night. As he dials his cougar from last night, a phone begins to ring. The friend, with the bottle of Hornitos in hand, yells “mom…phone.”

 

 

“Hornitos celebrates the Instigator-the person who can turn a regular evening into a night of legends-and we felt that the ‘Cougar’ spot captured the brand’s essence perfectly,” said Amy Weisenbach, Director, Tequila and Rums, Beam Global Spirits and Wine. “And like the Instigator, Hornitos strives to always be memorable, so we are thrilled that our spot has been just that-having been recognized by TBS as one of the funniest in the world.”

 

 

The commercial will be on TBS’ TV special on December 16 at 10:00pm. To watch the video, go to www.facebook.com/HornitosTequila.
