This ad gets me because that's all he had in the car? His shifter knob and I think some papers in the glovebox? When I was in my only car collision to date (not my fault; guy blew through a red light and I couldn't miss), I went to the place that my totaled car was at and made sure to look in every nook and cranny before I left that thing. I removed the stereo, the speakers, all my paperwork, my tools and jumper cables in the back, the flashlight and shop rags I kept under the seats, the change in the ashtray, and so much more little poo poo here and there. Hell, I even took the battery I'd just bought two weeks prior. This guy in the ad rolls up, takes his shifter knob and some paperwork, and after having a moment of silence for his wreck says, "Welp, see ya' later, car! VROOOM!"

But I guess it's better to see that than to watch some guy look under the dash, under the seats, in every little cubbyhole, etc.

That God-drat "AccuTouch Nano" or whatever it's called for diabeetus. I really don't think a silly song and a medical device that looks like an iPod is the best marketing strategy.

Considering that Axe smells like cheap poo poo cologne that stupid drunk sluts supposedly love and is mainly used by college-aged tools to pick up said sluts, I'm not surprised by how they advertise it.

I forgot to ask: Are they persistent ads, or do they go away after the hike? If they're there for the whole play, or the whole loving drive even, then I don't even know what they're thinking anymore.

That commercial is definitely one of the dumber ones I've seen recently. It's the epitome of "If I like these things that I think women also like, they can't help but want me!"

I could understand if say, you single-handedly ran a TV review site or something, but I doubt that applies to most of these people. They're probably either TV show hoarders who record a bunch of stuff they will never watch and/or record them for a torrent site or something.

Sure it's a legit point. Almost every commercial has some sort of legit point. That's not what makes it bad though. They spend the whole ad showing people using their competitor's product. And to make it worse, most of them seem happy to be plugged into the wall, not miserable. What has always bothered me about Samsung ads is they spend the entire commercial talking about Apple and nearly forget that they have a pretty good product on their hands.

I'm sure that it helps create a bit of brand loyalty with the people who are already Samsung users, but I doubt you're going to convince many others with that strategy.

Gets relevant at 1:25.

Anyway, now having seen their ads after buying the phone I got last week, gently caress them, I'm glad I had miraculously insulated myself from advertising leading up to my phone purchase (there's nothing on in the summer and I use my DVR heavily in the first place, so I've been way out of it). I can't really fault them that strategy since it works, but the execution is obnoxious.

Just don't turn this into a brand war and disparage the actual product's quality because you seem to REALLY hate Samsung for some reason I can't quite put my finger on.

Your criticisms also seem to boil down to poo poo that's easily remedied by just removing preloaded software...something that makes me want to punch a baby every time I hear it, having worked repairing PCs and heard, "Omg this computer I just bought is a piece of poo poo, it's so SLOW," too many times to count. Just gently caress most people in regards to technological illiteracy.

Which segues into probably the most rage-inducing commercials I've ever seen:

Does it take more than THREE SECONDS for your email to load?

Well maybe you're an impatient, entitled gently caress who needs to calm down and let the hiccup in your local DNS resolve itself before assuming your $1200 facebook machine is at fault. That's my gut reaction every time I see his smug loving face saying that.

The adjective "slow" needs to be banned from use by IT clients and is ALL over any sort of advertising for these sorts of services. It's a relative descriptor rear end in a top hat. Is it slow relative to your expectations or have you documented that the load time on a program has increased over time? If you can answer with the latter, you probably know enough to fix this yourself.

BaronVonVaderham posted:

Your points about touchwiz are valid, but you might want to reread your original post. It comes across as, "gently caress Samsung, they make an irredeemably lovely product and only sell it by tearing down my hero Apple." I stand by the relevance of the Louis CK bit, but that's another debate entirely.

The thing is, that in the world of Android phones Samsung does not have a pretty good product, they just have the marketing budget. They have a bloated version of Android on their phone that doesn't have a lot of visual flair, they have poor build quality, and are among the slowest of Android phone manufacturers to update their software, but everyone knows Samsung makes "the best phones" because of their marketing budget. They don't have enough merit to advertise on so they have to advertise with the tone of "we're the Apple alternative" and are trying to get the message across that there are only two choices, Samsung and Apple and you don't do that by touting features that every other Android phone has or will have with it's next release. You do it by tearing down Apple and Apple users and not acknowledging the products that are actually very close in feature-set and compatibility, and that are in most cases better products than the ones you sell.

I don't know how local Tom Shane of the Shane Company is.

His ads are on every radio commercial break I've ever heard since I was a kid. A jeweler acquaintance of mine says that his claims of going directly to the source for gemstones instead of getting markups from middle-men is misleading, since almost every jeweler (he knows) goes directly to the source and it's not that big a deal.

He has a very distinct voice if you've ever heard it. Pretty easy to do an impression of him.
