They're shown a picture of a chicken and a picture of a dog turd, and they have to identify the chicken. They get two guesses.

Crowetron posted:Similarly, there's a commercial for...I dunno, something, where a guy's interviewing a lady, and he asks "Why should I hire you?" or something similar. And the woman replies "Well, I'm your wife" but I swear it sounds like she says "Well, I'm white!" There's a local commercial for some company (insurance?) that's called Conklin Feinmann, and it has a guy telling a group of potential employees "Do you think you have what it takes to sell Conklin Feinmann?" I keep hearing it as "conflict diamonds."

Lea Michele is not a bad singer at all. I don't really get what's wrong with her rendition of the song besides the ad being played 9-10 times an hour.

aquatic sideshow posted: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. 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.)

The best part of the Axe article (and someone points this out in the comments) is that these guys did research over a period of years, went to bars, divided people into 6 categories, did all the research, etc. The result? "Let's put chicks in bikinis and have them leap on guys who use our spray."

The thing with the McRib is, it's not economical to have on the menu full time, but it does well if they bring it out for a limited time. It's not that good, it's nothing like actual BBQ, but... I don't dislike it.

MoonTuna posted:Your McRib sandwich is probably not good for your heart. It has 980 mg of sodium and 10 grams of saturated fat. But then we already knew that it wasn’t exactly health food. I don't think anyone was arguing for the McRib being anything like actual meat. (Somehow, this stuff never disgusts me. I know how sausage is made.)

Yeah, the ads for places like that all tout the advantage of getting a large lump sum, but of course you get less in total. Which is fine if you've won the lottery or something, but if you're actually owed payment as part of a settlement it may not be the best idea.

Nerdfest X posted:I'm the same way. They portray the ad as if the Lexus jingle is as recognizable as the theme from the Olympics, James Bond, or the 1st few bars of Beethoven's 5th symphony. "Hey, I know that song!" Even now I don't know what it is. Reading that article, I kept trying to picture it, and basically I ping pong back and forth between "Always Coca-Cola" and the Fox Sports theme.

My mind just boggles at what must be the expense of the Kia ads. The hamster thing was costly and just kind of random and stupid to start with, and now it's just degenerated into random dream imagery. How is this selling cars? Is it?

MailboxFullOfBombs posted:Oh god, I'm seeing these just about every commercial break watching 30 Rock/Parks and Rec and it's the most annoying thing I've seen in a long time. Who loving thought having a bunch of middle-aged women screaming at the top of their lungs for a solid 30 seconds was a good idea for an ad? The point is, it gets your attention. Advertisers have abandoned any pretense of being pleasant or watchable and are now just mounting a full assault on our senses.

This was an interesting article on Slate recently, regarding bad times for the ad firm that brought back the King mascot for Burger King (which, I must say, in and of itself was funny at times) and was at the head of a lot of annoying trends in modern ads, including the aggressive "bro"ness that we now see in that Dr. Pepper 10 bullshit. http://www.slate.com/articles/business/branded/2012/01/crispin_porter_bogusky_how_the_hot_ad_agency_fell_from_grace_.html I'm not sure how "right" the author is in his analysis, but at least there are some interesting ideas here.

Quibids reads like it'd work a lot better as a scam if it weren't so insanely complicated. "Hey, you can get high end products for a fraction of the retail price!" "Sounds great! How does it work?" "Well, you can bid in penny amounts, but to do that you have to purchase bids at .60 each-" "Wait, I pay to bid-" "Every time! You get a voucher of 100 for $60, and when those run out you have to buy more, but sometimes we put the vouchers up for bid-" "Wait, so then I bid to buy bids." "Yes! Also, we hold all the items we list, and sometimes we don't have them, so if we run out you'll be refunded unless you were a low bidder-" "gently caress this I'm going to that weird guy on the sidewalk."

The Doctor and Ace see a van with some weird looking aerials on it, the Doctor says "What do you suppose that is?" and Ace says "I dunno, TV detector van?" (They're in 1963.)

I do legitimately really like the new Nokia smartphone ad where Chris Parnell goes around telling everyone they've participated in a beta test with all their various crappy phones. It's clever and he's funny. On the other side, there's an ad I can't find on Youtube for the local Worlds of Fun theme park, which is a family sitting around the table communicating in screams. Fun.
