I don't want the Flo commercials to stop airing because I find her strangely attractive. It's really weird, but I've had like 10 people agree with me...and then feel uneasy about themselves. But the commercials themselves are annoying.

It's weird because I'll see one commercial with her where she looks flat-out bug-eyed and insane. And then I'll see another commercial with her (like the "motorcycle riders" one) and I'll just be all :swoon:

But at least she hasn't gotten as annoying as that friggin' Cockney gecko has. And I say this as a dyed-in-the-wool Anglophile. :v:

Dr. Pepper 10 is stupid for a few reasons. Terrible ad campaign aside, it tastes like poo poo and why would you want a 10 calorie "diet" drink when Diet Dr. Pepper tastes a million times better and has zero calories?

So would you say diet Dr. Pepper tastes more like regular Dr. Pepper?

I can understand wanting to appeal more to men for diet drinks, but "It's not for women!" was the best catchline they could come up with? Not "A Man's Diet for a Man's Diet" or "BE THE LUMBERJACK" or some poo poo?

The reason why I think that the ad campaign is stupid is that it explicitly spells out that this should be for men. Better ads aimed for men don't shout "BUY THIS PRODUCT BECAUSE YOU'RE A MAN"- the Old Spice commercials, for instance.

Speaking of horrible cellphone ads, has anyone seen the Consumer Wireless commercial with the (not-so) vaguely homosexual twins? The narrator refers to them as "The [Whatever] Twins, for Consumer Wireless," as if they're famous. It confuses the poo poo out of me.

My parents watch a TON of The Gameshow Network, and it's a hotbed for the cheapest, most awful commercials on Earth.

Those are the Winklevoss (sp?) twins, which were the guys Mark Zuckerburg allegedly stole Facebook from.

And for the record, no you aren't supposed to know who they are. They aren't anyone, or rather, they aren't twins. They are one person, a voice actor named Ron Maestri. I have no loving clue why they would pull a twin act and bother with making them sound like they are some important celebrity, but they are a lie.

It seems like that "I just came to say hello" song is the new "BABY UR A FIIIIIREWERRRK" for lovely commercials for lovely things. I never thought I'd find myself yearning for the good ol' days of Katy Perry songs.

The first time I ever heard that hello song, I instantly recognized it as a designed-to-be-ultimately-used-to-shill-cellphone commercials track. Even though it's a letdown song.

"In the Hills, the Cities", and though I hadn't seen that commercial before now, I have to agree. Just envision that "people golem" from the commercial with about 40,000 more people and as tall as a skyscraper. :v:

So the new autotrader ad has a guy on his couch with his dog and no other living creature in sight and he says "Why didn't you tell me autotrader also lists new cars?"

Did he really expect his dog to tell him that? Why is he surprised that his dog doesn't know more about the internet than him?

This Battlefield 3 commercial uses the chorus from "99 Problems."

Why would you use a part of a song that has a word in it that you can't play on television? Why. The song sounds so terrible with the word bitch removed, it really bothers me. It also really doesn't even make that much sense for the commercial.

I....think he wants to sell it for several million and then kick his owner to the curb? That's my guess. In which case the owner is a dumbass for keeping an intelligent talking dog around who is trying to ruin his business.

But if he lets the dog go, he will run amok and sell off what he knows of the recipe! The guy's keeping him under as close of a watch as he can, and is simply waiting for him to die.
