The worst part about those Mio ads is how creepy those drat animals are, I get some serious Uncanny Valley effect off them.

Has anyone mentioned those skyn condom ads? My lord, that woman is annoying. "you like sex don't you?" Well, ok yes, most people do but the way you ask makes you sound like a freak if you don't. Plus, some people like the feel of different condoms, that doesn't make skyn some end all be all of condoms.

This is his real video To justify my above comment I want to believe that dead look in his eyes after he takes the first bite is utter regret and disappointment. I drove 2 1/2 hours one time to go to a whitecastle on an impromptu road trip, and after like an hour (it was 3 am when we left) it was miserable as everyone passed out. I cant imagine what 9 hours would feel like.

Not to mention at least two of them are "If you don't use our product you will become a social outcast." or "If you don't use our product your children will grow up to be godless undesirable heathens". Also kind of the first time I've seen a national ad campaign literally stick someone into a caste and insult them for it.

Fiat has a uphill fight because they have a pretty bad rep in the US. I see them all over the place here (Northern VA). But I think the first US studio (yes, studio not dealership  ) was over in Rockville MD so they've had a little more time to sell them.

There's a new Mio animal commercial and its even creepier/bizarre than the first one. This one involves a camel's hump being treated like boobs even though its still on the camel's back.

Yeah, its a giraffe and an ostrich this time. Also, thinking about the first commercial made me realize something else completely insane about it. The premise of it is basically that since animalpeople started using the drink mix the cheetah guy can't murder anymore.

Can someone explain to me the idea behind the commercial scenario where you have average people doing something in an everyday setting, and a wacky guy comes up to them and barges in, insults them and offers them advice/a better product? This maxwell House (I think) coffee ad keeps playing on hulu, with a boring white couple having French press coffee in a restaurant (think white tablecloth, a waiter in a tie is plunging their coffee). A dude (the guy is very familiar, can't place him) with a kind of 'blue-collar guy' jacket on comes up to the couple's table with a regular drip coffee machine stuck under his arm, complains about French press pots having plungers, talks about how he likes French fries and then asks the waiter to plug in his coffee machine, so he can make this couple a better cup of coffee. It is amazingly annoying, and not even because of my particular taste in coffee. What is supposed to be going on in my mind during this ad, instead of 'if some dude cruised up to me and criticized my coffee to my face in front of my (wo)man I would ask him to GTFO'???

I hate that bank commercial where theyr'e like "look we replaced a people with a machine at a dry cleaner look how awful why do banks do this!" Well the bank replaced tellers with machines that spit out the amount of money you want. You put a blender on a counter. That's...not even close to the same. You might as well try to cook a pizza with a grandfather clock then declare machines to be awful.

Mio's ingredients are basically 100% artificial. It's like squirting concentrated awfulness into your water. Case in point: quote:Water, Citric Acid, Propylene Glycol, Malic Acid, Contains Less than 2% of Natural Flavor, Sucralose and Acesulfame Potassium (Sweeteners), Potassium Citrate, Red 40, Blue 1, Potassium Sorbate (Preservative).

That commercial gets additional asinine points for their tagline "Stay Grounded". Hey idiots, both drip brewing and french presses use coffee grounds! Also, am I the only one annoyed by the Truvia commercials for... I don't know, what do you call that voiceover? Sing-song? Sung poetry? Whatever the hell it is, it gets on my nerves.

My favorite part of the commercial is they cut to a clip of the guy trying to use the phone, saying "Are you serious?" when they were doing their "but if you buy one now you get another one free!" schtick. You know they just pulled a random guy off the street to demo the product and look happy for the commercial and had to move his clip elsewhere in the commercial after his  reaction to something so ridiculous.

I really wish I could find it but there was a whole website dedicated to sarcastically pointing out marketingthink like this. Like "Oh boy, they took a song I liked and changed the lyrics to be about their product!" Gonz posted:Mio's ingredients are basically 100% artificial. It's like squirting concentrated awfulness into your water. On no, not...chemicals!  The ingredients are exactly the same as every other low-calorie drink mix like Crystal Light: artificial sweetener, natural flavoring, and some coloring. They just mix it with water and a thickening/stabilizing agent to make it different enough that people will pay even more money for the same ingredients. In fact, many of those ingredients (citric acid, malic acid, natural flavoring, dyes, potassium citrate, potassium sorbate) are actually found in most "real" fruit juice that has undergone any degree of processing.

Echoing the Goldfish ad in the car wash is awful. It suppose to be a cute ad with them acting like their in a store, but it comes off as annoying. [edit] Okay what the gently caress, I just saw a Smoke Free America ad where it shows a bunch of people with no limbs saying if you smoke, you might become a amputee! So not just lung cancer, you soon will need a hook to hold that cigarette too! Rirse fucked around with this message at 16:53 on Mar 19, 2012 |

Grout Bully. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKsM3jgiRR4 First it uses one of the Windows notification message sounds so when it airs I think I've got mail or something. Second it claims to kill the mold to make it white, but later in the commercial they have the different colours so obviously it's just painting over it. Third the application brush is way way wider than any grout lines are going to be, so you waste a huge amount every time you apply it.
