Messin With Sasquatch Wins Top Award
Posted by: Craig Woolheater on December 15th, 2006
The Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal reports the following:
The Advertising Federation of Minnesota named Carmichael Lynch "Best in Show" during the annual awards ceremony on Nov. 10, and also sent the ad agency home with 66 awards.
As many as 95 advertising organizations, including agencies, businesses and schools, entered 1,446 pieces of work for the awards competition, dubbed "The Show."
Minneapolis-based Carmichael Lynch won the top award for its television spot for Jack Link, a maker of beef jerky. The spot, titled "Shaving Cream," runs on the theme "Messin’ With Sasquatch."
You can watch them online at the Jack’s Links Messin’ with Sasquatch website.
A face only a mother could love…
Make sure to check out the "Too hot for TV" versions of the commercials. There are several downloadable wallpapers for your computer also.

Funny!!
Oh man, these are great. I just forwarded the link out to all my friends!
I love these commercials!
I just finished complaining, on another thread, about the worn-out jokes people make about Fortean subjects, not least of all Bigfoot. But these commercials are a real exception, with real originality to them.
hey craig this definetly a very interesting new sasquatch article, those commercials should win a award. thanks bill 🙂
I really like the one ad where the guys put a sleeping Bigfoot’s hand in warm water. That just makes me crack up no matter how many times I see it. Love the kind of cheesy, mischevious look on the Bigfoot’s face, the devlish glint in his eye. Funny stuff!
So Squatch is becoming more, um, respectable? acceptable? believeable? With appearances in that McDonald’s spot and these Jerky epics and others, the big Guy should get himself an agent!
These were the most creative commercials I had seen in a while. Worthy of Superbowl time. I hope they make more.
The funny thing is, the sasquatch they created for this commercial is better than the ones in movies like “Sasquatch Hunters” and “Abominable.”
