Why is McDonald's so bad at advertising? The only good ads they have are the throwback ones

AA is for Quitters posted:Like...I'm actually sad that this was a seasonal ad because oh my god it's so horrible it loops back around to good: There is, or at least was as of sometime last year, a commercial for a non-Christmas album from that lady. They look like they were originally made in the 80's and I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case, if her hair and clothes are anything to go by.

Since I'm  and all, can you 20-something male goons tell me if you want to pick up hot young women in bars or bored-out old skanks as depicted in the Cougar Life.com ads?

Cougars weren't a thing back then and also the gently caress is a cougar someone that's 34

Sash! posted:Cougars weren't a thing back then and also the gently caress is a cougar someone that's 34 Uh, Mrs. Robinson? If The Graduate wasn't a cougar situation, I don't know what was. If you were born before 1947, I'll accept your "Cougars weren't a thing back then," argument. Although, I'm guessing there were older women interested in younger men back then too, I just can't think of an example off the top of my head. A cougar is an older woman who is attracted to younger men, with an implication of also being sexually attractive. What is older and what is younger is debatable, but I could see someone in their late teens as seeing a 34 year old as a cougar, yes. Also, for another example of ads we like, I'm a fan of the new belVita morning win ad. Catchy tune that wasn't overplayed on the radio first, and it actually talks about the product while being cute. It's a shame I despise the product.

Every ad by Kayak is completely stupid, in a "this would never happen in this universe in a million years" way. Just dumb. Just stop. The concept of "search one and done" is interesting, but I will now avoid using your product only because of your silly ad campaign. 1) You are not so pressed for time that you cannot adjust your schedule to fit in simply WALKING UP THE STAIRS to look for a travel deal. 2) If you are using 4 dolls/marionettes whatever you call it to search a total of 5 laptops, and they are mimicking your every move, all of them are looking at THE SAME WEBSITE YOU ARE 3) brain surgeon...nvm. too stupid to explain. I will purposely use Hotwire or Priceline, because these Kayak commercials are so annoying.

The brain surgeon one I kind of like, if only because of the little high-five he has the patient do after his "dad joke." That being said, yeah, it's awful. Not just the commercials, the site's interface is terrible. I use Hipmunk.  That's an example of how it shows you flight search results.

I fell asleep on the couch a few nights a go and woke to an infomercial about "The SOUNDS OF THE 70'S" 10-18 CD Collection. http://timelife.com/products/soul-of-the-70s Not a terrible ad per say, but I truly pity anyone who would actually spend money on this. My father (who would be in the target demo for this) actually owns an IPod of some sorts, and I've yet to see him listen to an actual CD in like two years. Seems like it'd be cheaper to buy an IPod/MP3 player, and then give it to a family member with a list of songs to put on it for you.

A few years back my sister drunk-ordered the complete "Malt Shop Memories" after seeing the commercial at 2:30 AM. Along those lines, I saw this commercial for Anne Murray's Inspirational Favorites hundreds of times when I was a kid. Why was this playing during kid's programming?

Thank you T-Mobile. My morning commute really needed a minute and a half horrible version of a Cee Lo song every ad break. Radio ads tend to be terrible in general. Even worse than TV ones for some reason.

Whoever decided that radio ads should have siren noises in them should be shot. It shouldn't even be legal--the amount of people listening to the radio and the amount of people currently unmoving cars is nearly an equal number at this point.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1EUggM10RE "Let's be honest, ordering over the phone with Dominos isn't always that great." So really, the point of your commercial is, "Hahaha we suck horribly at our jobs, so do this to make it easier." At least Pizza Hut stresses the whole "it's easier for YOU the customer", not "it makes our jobs easier so we can continue understaffing our restaurants". (seriously, why is there never more than one person working in these kitchens?...I'm a pizza snob, being from NY, but I have noticed that I've never seen more than two employees in a pizza chain in my life)

Having gone through a geology degree about ten years ago, all these "CLEAN COAL IS THE FUTURE!" AND "DOMESTIC OIL IS LIQUID FREEDOM!" ads are essentially the real-life equivalent of watching a dumb action movie with terrible pseudoscience and trying not to roll your eyes until your brain melts. The dumb movie just costs you a few hours of time though, not a few more decades of global warming and arrested development in alternative energy sources

I think the idea was that you could save your details and your order and if you have to leave to slay a dragon, you can come back to finish your order in 30s?

raditts posted:"Cheese Food Product." I have never been so glad to get away from somewhere with actual minerals and carbon. Living in the philly area i had to listen to the fracking ones since the cable stations reached all the way out to Allentown/the mountains. And living in WV - well, every drat break had something about coal in it. I support mining just cause a bunch of my friends are miners since we graduated and they realized their degrees are useless, but you don't need to make it seem like your horrible product is good for the environment.
