You Are A Elf posted:To get on topic, why is Taco Bell using The Flying Lizards' "Money (That's What I Want)" in their newest ad? I get that they want to because of the repeated lyric "that's what I want," but whenever I see this commercial, all I can think of is Taco Bell wanting my money. I just wish it didn't play literally every commercial break for every show on comedy central.

Thorias posted:"Oh I know you ain't touching my Mannequin." This one drives me crazy too, but then again every Axe ad ever made pulls some variation of that poo poo. The part that always gets me about those commercials is the demo where they advise you to basically completely douse yourself in the stuff ("under your arms and across your chest  " )At that point you're going to leave a cloud of Axe behind you everywhere you go. Which I guess is the point?

There is no commercial worse than http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lh67uyFK-R0 I didn't see it posted before (probably missed it), and am honestly baffled

Chrome tells me I've seen it before. Probably in the old thread? What the gently caress is he squawking for at the end? Either way, he does not compare to Squeeky. mearn posted:Old Navy has some terrible ads all the time, but their latest round of song parody ads are terrible. That led me to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8c3_fH9HXXY Everyone should have pockets that fit things.  (though they probably shouldn't wear cotton sackcloth like that guy does)

Old Navy is the only clothing company I can think of whose ads make me refuse to shop there. I don't understand who they're trying to appeal to with the majority of their ads. Moms/Grandmothers I guess?

I wonder whether re-airing old commercials would be a decent marketing strategy. I think that the Frito Bandito and Burger King were pretty clever. There have been some "classic" products in their original style of packaging around lately, so I don't see why it wouldn't work just as well to put out the old ads, too. And didn't this Coke commercial go viral back in its day? Maybe it'd work today.

At my last office job we had a manager complain that some people in cubicles (that were located at the other end of the room) were talking too loud and she could hear them in her office. Those three fucksticks wouldn't have lasted a day there.

I don't know, I like some of it. Not the greatest stuff out there but I think "smells like rear end" is pushing it. But like I said before, if you use it the way the company directs you to (which I suspect the average Axe user probably does) you'll be walking around in your own personal cloud of Axe all day. If you go easy on it, the stuff's not bad. That said it's never once made me feel like coming on to a mannequin or practically assaulting some guy at a party so I can smell his hair. Weird.

I laughed at this loving commercial ONCE, because my father's jolly laughter is infectious. He took this as a cue to repeat "Can a gentleman with a bro 'stache get an invite to this party?" EVERY. DAY. I'm running out of polite chuckles.

Moms/Grandmothers I guess? I buy stuff from there because t-shirts are usually pretty good quality and cheap, and their jeans aren't terrible. However, I refuse to watch their commercials, and if ever asked I would let them know that I shop there in spite of their lovely advertising, not because of it. I have no idea who the demographic is either.

While we're on the topic of the Geico commercials, I am so loving tired of those goddamn Cavemen. My sympathy for you ran out about the five hundredth time I watched you bitch and complain about that 'so easy even a badadaseragagea' I can't even type it without becoming enraged anymore. You want it to stop applying to you? Get a loving haircut and a shave! Shut the gently caress up about it! We don't care anymore! VVV You're probably right, but they showed it so many loving times that just thinking about them makes me angry. Malachite_Dragon fucked around with this message at 02:10 on Aug 15, 2011 |

I thought that was the point: they're so put out by the "racism" they face, when actually they're just reskinned SoCal Upper-Middle-Class White Guys who take their ~feelings~ too seriously. If you've ever asked who was the target market for their tv show: it was totally me.
