And I’m wondering how long until Sleep Number stops running their Dak Prescott ads.
Linky?
“I am an Instagram boyfriend” has to be the most asinine opening line of a TV commercial in history.
Also, Taco Bell sells crappy food.
Wonderful, Delicious, Horrible, Tasty Crappy Food!
All of the other auto manufacturers should leave the dog commercials to Subaru. They’re the only ones who get it right.
If Peloton was really serious about doing that they have some catching up to do. I remember ads in Scientific American some fifteen years back for an exerciser – ski or elliptical, I forget which – that swore ten minutes a day was all you needed for getting fit, and had the ripped models to prove it.
The price? $14,000, and you didn’t even get a flat screen mounted on it, probably because they hadn’t gotten popular yet.
My new “favorite” is Ameritrade with their new play on the old TV show, *Get Smart *, called “Get Smarter”. It shows their dude copying the TV show opening, walking into a building and going through a series of automated doors. Except the whole point of the show was that Maxwell Smart was a dumbass. Everything was stupid, like his shoe phone, or the cone of silence. Is that really the association they want?
Did I miss a mention of this KFC chicken and waffles commercial? I get that they were trying for a humorous parody, but I just find it really creepy and not at all an association I want to make with food they presumably want me to eat.
Didya notice that their “seriously smart” person parked in a red zone?
Johnny Depp in the Dior Sausage commercial.
The stupid way he slings sand over his shoulder; burying his gaudy and overmuch jewelry for no reason (but marking the “grave”); his teary-eyed guy-liner…
This looks like cologne that smells like “out all night” and “Denny’s.”
Hee hee. Was that an intentional “typo”? For a minute I thought Dior was marketing a step up from the Jimmy Dean crowd.
‘Ah’m Jimmy Dean’ - his voice dredged up from the grave, extolling the wonders of Jimmy Dean sausages and breakfast bowls… Using a dead guy’s voice? a poorly done commercial, can’t think of anything better, I guess.
I hate the Apple commercial with the grandpa in it …not only was it manipulative it worked and I had to wipe my eyes since all mine are gone now …
I feel like a terrible person but I don’t like the kids in the St Judes Hospital commercials. The one where they have to come up with ideas for the ad campaign was as poorly scripted and poorly acted as a middle school play. I feel for them and the things they have overcome, but I think Marlo Thomas is a better spokesperson for their cause than they are.
And yet, that commercial is better than any movie he made in, oh, the last 15 years.
hee hee “sausage”.
I hate this child with perhaps unwarranted fervor.
Oh crap, you’re right. OK, leave Marlo out of the equation. But dammit, these commercials suck ass.
I hate this Cox ad. I feel like I’m watching a real-life Simpsons episode. It’s making binge TV watching out to be a good thing. Kid ignores everyone including his dog just to catch up, so the whole family can spend quality time on their asses in front of the TV.
“Boy, don’t you ever let me hear you saying anything bad about TV,”
