Man I wish that a commercial could tell me how to make a Disoronno on the rocks and cranberry. I can't figure that poo poo out on my own.

Then toss the glass up in to the air, spilling it everywhere. Catch the class in midair, then grind it slowly into your eyesocket with increasing pressure until you die from brain trauma. That's the idea I get from the commercials.

Well you know guys it's pretty unreasonable for you to expect a commercial to explain how to make such a complicated drink.

Don't forget to suck on the ice cube, which by now is presumably coated in blood and vitreous humor. Sexy.

If I should ask a lady from work out on a date to Chili's, and she responded by quoting John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom" in her normal voice, we'd have a laugh and hopefully have a good date. If, on the other hand, I should ask her out to Chili's and she responds in a deep voice that sounds eerily like that of the late bluesman--complete with music in the background--there would suddenly be several pressing engagements I would just happen to remember at that moment.

I'd ask her how she's doing it and if she can do more songs because we might have a hit on a reality singing show.

I had the same thought too, but then I remembered the time a few years ago when I asked an attractive co-worker out and she said she wanted to go to Chili's because it was her "favorite place", and I figured I shouldn't throw stones from my glass house over here.

And to me, someone saying Chili's was their favorite restaurant would probably get a worse reaction than them singing "Boom Boom" just like John Lee Hooker.

Disaronno seems to be setting out to be the  liqueur of choice. The point of this ad is "Our stuff is so drat good it's all you need!", delivered in the most condescending way possible.I have yet to encounter anyone drinking it in the wild. (Granted I don't randomly ask strangers what they're drinking, but you figure you'd at least hear the name in a bar or two.)

In other news, Wal-Mart is advertising the return of layaway. Which is the most predatory thing ever.

In their last commercial the guy was actually spinning the lid shut

I dunno if this is local or nationwide, but Conoco-Phillips is currently bombarding us with a "hydrofracking is PERFECTLY SAFE!" ad that feels just about as truthful and informative as the ol' "high fructose corn syrup comes from corn, therefore it's natural and good for you!" campaign. "Tap water on fire? Urban legend! Tainted groundwater? SHUT UP HIPPIE! We wouldn't do this if it were unsafe, we're a REAL AMERICAN corporation. It's helping the economy!"

I've been getting them here too. I love how the "skeptic" in the commercial is about as staunch as a non-believer in a Chick Tract.  Actually it's safer! I'm listening

I can't believe in that poll for "Worst use of an existing song" they don't have UPS complete bastardization of "That's Amore" with "That's Logistics". Maybe its my Italian heritage that makes me cringe and get angry every time I see it/hear it, but god is it horrible.

In non-holiday seasons they are using the logistic power they used to use on the layaway network for their new "Pick Up Today" system, where you can order pretty much whatever the hell you want online and go down and pick it up in 45 minutes. Edit: ugh working for one of their vendors has turned me into such a shill. Still, layaway is far from 'predatory'.

Thought this was a good link for the thread: Axe's marketing campaign backfire cliffs notes: Axe did years of research to come to the shocking conclusion that insecure skinny dweebs want to be desired by hot girls. However, the skinny dweebs followed the commercial's advice too well and bathed in Axe, and as a result everybody now despises Axe and it is now a mineshaft canary for....insecure skinny dweebs.

I tried it once when I was in high school and I thought it just smelled terrible. Use Old Spice instead. Smells much more pleasant.
