You Are A Elf posted:Everyone thus far in this thread has been talking about the city of New York. Anytime I've met someone from NYC, they just say "I'm from New Yawk," so it's pretty simple just to omit the city part, and everyone will still know what that person's talking about; thus, "New York" meaning "New York City." You never hear anyone saying they're straight off the streets of Schenectady, now, do you? Everyone in the thread except the guy I quoted apparently, which is why I posted that. The Duke posted:On that note, why are people from New York so obsessed with letting people know how loving cool their place of birth/residence is? More so than any other state it seems. You never see a dude like "Straight out the streets of New Hampshire, bitch!"

Jenny From The Block shot her Fiat commercial in LA! A body double does the few shots that had to be shot in NYC, because Lopez refused to go to the actual Bronx to shoot the commercial.

Tired of seeing ads for the lovely Need for Speed game. It bombed with the critics, but I see more ads for it then any game that came out this year.

Sony helped co-market the game like they did with Battlefield 3, so the ad campaign is running heavier and longer than most, but there have been some REALLY pushy game ads this year. Dead Island would show every single commercial break in some Adult Swim and Comedy Central slots, as would Deus Ex. In fact, as much as I LOVE that game, if I never hear "I never asked for this..." and "it's myyyyyyyyyyy wooorrrrrllllddd" again, I'll die a happy man.

The Dead Island ad is particularly annoying because it makes it look sort of like that one trailer, deep and emotional. When in reality its a game about strapping batteries to katanas and chopping fat men in half.

I'd be fine if it was still just black friday, but now there's "cyber monday!"  and "small business saturday!". The hype around black friday has gotten so absurd over the last decade thanks to the internet, 9/11, and the economy.

Well, Kohl's must be doing something right with those ads. I drove by Kohl's on the way home from my parents tonight and the Kohl's parking lot was pretty much 100% full at 12:15.

The Gamestop ad for Batman: Arkham City isn't so much bad, but mind boggling. It shows some scenes from the game, which is fine and all, but then talks about how if you buy the game there, you get a free copy of Batman Forever, and then shows scenes from the movie. Now don't get me wrong, getting a free movie with a game is neat, but Batman Forever? That movie doesn't even fit with this game's style at all. Would made a lot more sense to use one of the Nolan movies or Mask of the Phantasm.

You Are A Elf posted:I think the worst ad campaign on TV right now is Jennifer Lopez for Fiat 500. If the ad agency that created them is trying to get me to relate to Jennifer Lopez driving around New York City in a Fiat 500, they are failing miserably. I don't give a poo poo about Jennifer Lopez. I don't give a poo poo about the new Fiat 500. I've never been to or lived in NYC at any time in my life (although I'm not badmouthing it here), so I couldn't care less about the commercial, and yet, every commercial seems to go like this: And they have ads like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpi2IAec9Ho Why JLo?

If I learned anything during the seven months or so that I spent in NYC last year, it's that Jennifer Lopez is better off leaving the NYC driving to her body double and that the Geico gecko was actually right in his commercial about finding a place to park. Sure, you can own a car in NYC, but unless you like having to park a block or two away, paying exoribtant parking garage fees, and/or getting your car towed when you inevitably forget to move it one day or park in the wrong zone...it just seems like a major hassle. Besides, you get a much more entertaining show on the bus or train.

Wendy's is running a commercial to promote their new "W" sandwich, some new Big Mac-esque monstrosity. Anyway, it begins with a baby with food all over her face all happy, cut over to her father with the W sauce all over his face happy as well. It's pretty drat gross, not entirely sure how that's supposed to make the sandwich appealing looking.

ASPCA, I commend your efforts to help abused and homeless animals. I know how heartbreaking and hard the job is and how regrettably needed your services are but, all the same, gently caress you for using "When She Loved Me" for one of your commercials. gently caress. You. I have an appointment with a tear soaked bag of M&Ms that I suddenly have to keep.
