Funny I went to the Best Buy forum after hearing about them canceling tons of black friday online purchases a week before christmas after delaying them for weeks, only to find for every complaint about canceled orders there is probably 10 posts complaining about the santa commercials http://forums.bestbuy.com/t5/Holiday-2011/bd-p/HolidayHelp2011

The Tax Masters guy has a Christmas commercial out now with jingling bells and fake CGI snow flying around. I'm surprised he didn't have a CGI Santa hat put on his head given how little the man moves his head in the commercials.

These ads for Sheet Energy Strips take a horrible pun and run it straight into the ground. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bH56PuqaFJg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orwy2lm9KwU

Can someone tell me why they only air at Christmas? I mean...I guess I know why in the sense that whoever airs them thinks that people are going to give cologne/perfume as gifts, but are they actually popular gifts? I've never gotten nor received cologne/perfume, nor has anyone where the subject of Christmas gifts has some up, so...? Also Elizabeth Taylor is like 90 and near death, can we at least stop playing her White Diamonds commercial from the 80's?

Bam perfume/cologne. I have seen entire pallets of old spice and axe gift sets gone in less then a week. Plus you have the entire thing of "wow that's a fancy commercial for je-dore or what ever so it must be good!" I got them a couple of time when I was a teenager at least.

I'd like to know if anyone's seen a single commercial for that Alvin and the Chipmunks movie that came out what I think must've been a few days or maybe a week ago. I don't know because I haven't heard a peep about it and the thought that a studio would have so little faith in a movie is as hilarious as it is unbelievable to me.

SlothfulCobra posted:The ASPCA's commercials come closer to pulling heart strings because it's harder to read animal expressions. To a lot of people all a dog needs to do to look happy is have its mouth open. All the animal pictures they use are just what dogs and cats look like when they're bored and not doing anything. Just curious, but have you never owned a pet before -- specifically a dog or cat? They have no other way to emote other than their eyes, usually, and while I don't deny that the commercials are manipulative, the expression are, at some level, real. By the same token, the expressions on the kids in those commercials may be manipulated, but Christ are they effective. And you are utterly disconnected from your emotions if you analyze both in the same way.

Pretty much this, but I think those commercials work well because unless you'e insane (PETA), you know that domesticated animals can't just pull themselves up by their bootstraps and survive without humans.

It might depends on what channels you're watching. I think I only saw a commercial for it once--the chipmunks were doing Bad Romance--but if one was watching Nick or HUB or something like that, I'd assume that they would be seen a lot more.

I see commercials for it all the time, I think on Adult Swim. Nothing like seeing a CGI chipmunk slam into a tree sand say "My frijoles..." every 10 minutes. Has anyone else been seeing those "I take a sheet" commericals. It's a joke that was kind of a little bit funny once, repeated 5 times per commercial repeated every commercial break. Awesome.

Actually thats not true for cats if I remember correctly. If you leave a cat out in the wild without humans it will pretty much go feral and resort to hunting whereas a dog would just scavenge.

The commercials don't really get on my nerves but I find these new ones selling .xxx domains to be extremely bizarre, particuarly how they're on during prime time pretty often. There was one that was at least a minute and a half long when I was watching the 6 o'clock 30 rock on comedy central the other day. Are there really that many people who run porn sites out there? Is porn becoming this mainstream? I'm not a prude or anything but they just seem very out of place to me.

Did they think it wouldn't sell on its own? It's a little weird.

Not the whole XXX thing; I don't give a poo poo about that. The commercial itself is also pretty funny. No, my problem with it is the prime time slot. Why not wait until atleast midnight to start advertising?  It's just kind of tasteless to see endless commercials for Trojan and .XXX domains on Comedy Central at all hours of the day.

I don't think I've seen any commercials for it since it came out (before which I saw them performing Lady Gaga too many times for anyone's sanity) but since then I've seen a bunch of McDonalds commercials for their Happy Meal set which are equally terrible.

At first I figured that my cablebox's guide was hosed up and 30 rock wasn't actually on, because it looked like some lo-fi British sitcom from the 90s. I kept flicking channels back and forth to check on it and sure enough it was a .xxx commercial followed by my regularly scheduled viewing of 30 rock.

I've never felt that sort of hyperbolic "and there goes my last shred of faith in humanity" until I saw the adverts for this loving thing: https://www.orderforeverlazy.com/ 1) It's literally called "forever lazy", probably because the packaging couldn't hold ", fat, stupid, and slovenly" as well. 2) The features it touts includes a loving unzippable shitter flap on the rear end, so you don't have to wriggle out of your slobwear to take a dump. gently caress. gently caress.
