Elvis in Television Commercials

Elvis' astounding legacy is never ending and his impact is reflected in the fact that Elvis is so often used in today's  Television commercials. The recent resurgence started with the swinging Audi Elvis and was kicked into this new millennium by the Nike World Cup soccer advert - which then helped Elvis hit Number One in the charts. One of the very best was the recent BBC Radio 2 advert with Elvis introducing his band of Superstars. As suggested by John Pietz, EIN presents sixteen TV adverts featuring Elvis. With special thanks to John Pietz.      


Audi Elvis - From: crinje
An absolute sensational advert. How many of us bought "little Elvises" for the car! 
A middle-aged man who looks like Elvis with the off-screen voice of an ETA singing 'King of the Road'.

Nike Elvis - From: kralcjgiarc
Directed by the talented Terry Gilliam of Monty Python fame (another Elvis connection!)
Made for the 2002 World Cup in Korea/Japan.
Introduced a new generation to 'A Little Less Conversation'.

BBC Radio 2 "Aloha Elvis" - From: PinkCoutureLove
A fabulous commercial with images from 'Aloha from Hawaii'.
Elvis introduces everyone from Stevie Wonder to Sheryl Crow.

Lipton Brisk Tea -  From: dannotv
More fantastic inspiration as a claymation Elvis does an altered version of 'Jailhouse Rock'.
Great work also featuring James Brown and Willie Nelson.

Nestle Kit-Kat  - From: RicochetNI
Another smart and funny advert featuring a man dressed like Elvis watching TV reports on sightings of Elvis!
"The King Is Alive" but just relaxing! - A great idea.

Honda Motors - From: HondaRPA
Featuring a funked-up "Burning Love".
The commercial even suggested a possible new remix release.

Apple IPod Elvis - From: szutyksos
Even the great Apple company couldn't resist a little Elvis.
More good use of the 'A Little Less Conversation' remix.

Energizer Batteries -  From: corta525
Very humorous, one of my favourites.
Clever use of subliminal Elvis and a look-alike.

Omo detergent [from Thailand] -  From: senthilspace

Recently Deleted Clips - The Elvis Internet Police at work!

'The Elvis Medley'  (djf edit) - From  smithersjones [Xmas 2007 REMOVED]
Another great STAR video of multi-layered Elvis footage from his whole career.

The complete 1972 MSG press conference - From: susan2447
The fascinating Madison Square garden interview, running a total of 18 minutes.
In two part and includes rare alternate camera shots

Promised Land (edited djf) - From smithersjones [Xmas 2007 REMOVED]
What a great edit for this song. RCA should have done something similar in 1974 when the single came out.
I love this video. From the DVD 1st, 2nd & 4ever (see EIN review).

'Way Down'  (edit djf) - From smithersjones [Xmas 2007 REMOVED]
Elvis' last #1 needed a good video to go with it. Here's a clever edit for it from Aloha. 

'American Trilogy' (djf edit) - From  smithersjones [Xmas 2007 REMOVED]
The recent FTD is An American Trilogy so we have added this essential clip.
A fantastic Aloha video edit combining both shows and showing all the magnificence and power of American Trilogy.
This is very clever and EPE should be doing the same for a 'Greatest Hits' DVD collection.

'Burning Love' (djf edit) - From smithersjones [Xmas 2007 REMOVED]
Great edit of 1972/1973 action capturing the excitement of 'Burning Love' live.
I remember this song being played on TV in 1972 using boring Elvis publicity photographs.
Why wasn't there a video clip like this to go with it then?

'Little Sister' - (djf edit) - From smithersjones [Xmas 2007 REMOVED]
The original single edited to TTWII footage.
Fabulous - Elvis at his very best, more please!
See EIN's review of the excellent 2005 DVD '1st, 2nd & 4ever' which first featured this clip.

'Paralyzed' (edit djf)  - From  smithersjones  [Xmas 2007 REMOVED]
One of my favourite 50s songs.
Fabulous photos and some great rare footage.

'One Night'  (edit djf) - From  smithersjones  [Xmas 2007 REMOVED]
Nice edit of 68 Comeback footage with TTWII onstage material.

'Return to Sender' (Edit djf) - From  smithersjones [Xmas 2007 REMOVED]
Using great slow-mo to accentuate Elvis' cool shoulder & body action.

'Kentucky Rain'  (edit djf) - From  smithersjones 
A simple photo-montage of Elvis in concert with some great 1969 shots to
one of Elvis' loveliest songs.

'The Wonder of You' (DJF Edit) -  From:  smithersjones [Xmas 2007 REMOVED]
SENSATIONAL! A magnificent tribute to Elvis.
Great edit of clips from TTWII and use of slo-mo
Once again from the DVD 'Elvis -1st, 2nd & 4ever' (see EIN review)
One of the very best. EPE are you watching?

Lisa Marie and her daughter Riley giving her first TV interview on Oprah: - From free spirit
