Red Tails commercials on most channels and Red Tails commercials on the Historical Things Exploding featuring Hitler and/or Saddam channels are clearly promoting two different movies.

The Geico country bar commercial got me googling for the song in the background. I normally hate most all country but it surprised the poo poo out of me to hear something good sounding coming from some marketing dept's idea of what country is. The Wrinkle Neck Mules - Central Daylight time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf3FD0_BYiQ&feature=related From this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOijSAOa1DI&feature=related I want that big steak. Also the big haired blonde on the left.

I can't decide what's funnier about the ads for "The Journey 2: The Mysterious Island" 1. That the title sounds like "The Journey to the Mysterious Island" and I thought there was just an awkward pause the first time I heard it e: 2. It's a sequel to Journey to the Center of the Earth starring Brendan Frasier, but with apparently no relation to it outside of the name 3. The song they used to open the ad is about teenage suicide 4. The irony of the title of that song being "Make it Stop" 5. Another "The Rock" adventure movie 6. The Special Effects Bible Ian Black fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Jan 18, 2012 |

There's a new commercial for those sleazy bullshit commerative coins and they've hit a new low--the 9/11 and combination "we killed osama bin laden" coin that also comes with a pile of poo poo that makes the manual to a Call of Duty game look like a David McCollough book.

I thought I hated the Lexus theme song commercials over the holidays. Then the snowboarding truck commercial came out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95bpVJJlI6s I just... I mean... Why? What is the point? And they air it twice during every ESPN commercial break, and that WOO-HOO-HA-HOO

They're fairly clever (I enjoy the disclaimers anyway) but I'm sure they get old in a hurry. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvu4GYLBTuA they did one with a goddamn airplane landing on the bed.

It really is abominable how they market these things. I have a commercial for the "Justice Coin" here but I don't think it's the exact same commercial we're thinking of here. Same concept, though.

Oh come on, you're going to bring it up and not mention it's called the JUSTICE COIN? For the low price of $19.95, you get: - Gold Justice coin - BONUS Silver Justice coin - BONUS 2 acrylic capsules to keep them in - BONUS 2 certificates of authenticity - BONUS US Navy SEAL Creed CALL NOW and you also get: - Military Briefing Pack - Gold Lapel Pin Just pay $10 more in s&h!  I have no idea all of that stupid poo poo comes to $260. Most of it you can print off wikipedia or get on ebay for a couple of cents.

I saw it on live TV so I initially didn't get the luxury of seeing the title itself. It took me about 20 seconds to even catch on that the tune was the Imperial March. By that time I was annoyed enough by a rehash of a late 90's fad of dogs barking christmas songs, so it just seemed to go on, and on, and on at that point. Then VW logo out of nowhere.

Come on, the AT-AT Greyhound totally made it worth it. I mean, no way is it going to make me buy a VW (let me guess, they're "bringing back" the loving Beetle again), but I thought it was a great commercial.

 Italian greyhound, not a greyhound. Greyhounds are way bigger than any of those other dogs. 13" tall, compared to 30" greyhound.I thought the commercial was awesome, because it has a vizsla in it, until I discovered VW/Lucas Films stole the Italian greyhound idea. Watching it, I thought the dog was Bones Mello, the original At-At dog, who's really popular on the internet.  Boo on stealing ideas, especially when the original put so much time and effort into making an awesome thing happen.

The talk of Red Tails reminded me that there's a new movie commercial voice-over guy whose been making the rounds lately. He tries to sound deep and dramatic, but it just sounds like someone with a plugged nose from a bad cold. Red Tails = Ren Dails Devil = Dehnvil It's really irritating to listen to. Mokinokaro posted:Taco Bell/KFCs seem to be popular in the malls here in Canada. Same with Orange Julius/Dairy Queen. Ha. Yeah, I was just going to say, up here in Canadaland we have lots of those weird Taco Bell/KFC/Pizza Pizza combo places around.

Jeezus, Microsoft, it's bad enough that you and Sony are trying to keep up this lovely practice of advertising a multi-platform game without actually acknowledging that it's on the competing system, but you can't even do that right. You'd think all those millions you paid Square for the exclusive Final Fantasy XIII-2 commercial would have come with the stipulation that it should be all 360 footage, but nope, there are the PS3 buttons, right there in the lower-right corner. I shouldn't care, but I spend a good portion of the day rejecting a lot of multi-platform videos for the site because we're just PlayStation-based. It happens a ton with promo stuff for multi-platform games (after all, most are started on the 360 and ported to the PS3), but it's exceptionally weird to see it in a first-party-branded commercial that's supposed to be selling footage of the game running on their own hardware.

Yet the JP commercials were free of any PS3 button callouts (and the solo 360 branding wrapper). It just smacks of laziness, I guess, but feels like weird come-uppance for trying to dupe the buying public. Sony is just as guilty; it's a really lovely practice.
