Do you remember your first kiss? It was probably as awkward as it was awesome. That’s the feeling Taco Bell tried to portray in it's latest commercial, “First Kiss” by the creatives at Deutsch LA.
The ad shows how Taco Bell’s “Live Mas” tagline works in small, believable ways, with people taking leaps they wouldn’t normally take. A teenage couple on their first date in front of a Taco Bell feels as if they could have come out of a John Hughes’ movie, all awkwardness and sweetness. (The song, "All Eyes on You" by St. Lucia, has an 80s synth vibe that gives the ad even more of a Hughes feel.) "For us the ad captures one of those moments where you first felt really alive, where you borrow your parent’s car, hang out with your friends in a Taco Bell parking lot, and (possibly) steal your first kiss."
Director Zach Math, who also shot the previous two spots for Taco Bell, “Hola” and “The Most Obvious Idea in the World,” worked to create actual tension between the boy and the girl. He wouldn’t let them talk to each other until the actual shooting began. Then he tore a 100-dollar bill in half and gave one half to each actor, saying that they could only tape it back together again after the shoot—if they went out on a date.

Tweet Fight Old Spice vs Taco Bell
Not sure if this a spoof or real, either way this tweet exchange between Old Spice and Taco Bell is awesome. Taco Bell easily wins this battle with the "...is your deodorant made with really old spices?" Twitter response.

An 87-year old with an appetite for adventure joyrides through a football field on a souped-up, high-speed mobility scooter in this teaser spot from Taco Bell's and Super Bowl 2013. Apparently he's got something even wilder up his old-man sleeve for Game Day.

Prepare to say "hola" to the new Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco.
