Nerdfest X posted:The DiGiorno ads where the husband tries to blame the muddy carpet on the pizza delivery guy make no sense. I have to laugh every time that commercial comes on, because the way he says "but the pizza came with cheesy breadsticks" with this innocent, doe-eyed facial expression (in essence making him look like a blathering retard) just gets me, and I don't know why.

Did I seriously just hear Danny Trejo's voice in an old El Paso taco shell commercial? Apparently google thinks lots of people have that same thought. Dude used to be such a badass. Brand-dilution is the word of the day. I guess this is somewhat like what Porsche enthusiasts felt when they woke up one day and saw the word "cayenne" on their computer-tv-screen used in a way they'd never seen before.

zVxTeflon posted:Ive never had a pizza guy ever step foot inside my house. I really think whoever is writing the commercials for DiGiorno's doesn't understand how pizza delivery works. We've seen across multiple commercials now that the person writing them believes that when you order a pizza, there is an expectation that you invite the delivery guy inside your home or place of business to hang out / join you in whatever activity you are currently engaged in. Apparently this is a common enough occurrence that someone who is not an actual pizza delivery boy would disguise himself as one in order to gain entrance to an exclusive party. And I know it's been mentioned here already, but I swear if I hear "do you guys know how to post videos toooooofacebook?" one more time I'm going to hurl a chair at my tv.

A wife telling her husband that they should kill their newborn baby before they get attached to it is not nearly as winsome as Vonage seems to think it is. Just sayin'.

I saw an ad for this the other day: https://www.gojohandsfree.com/ My favorite part is where he says bluetooth headsets aren't hands free because you still need to hold your phone. NO YOU DONT! It's got all the classic Seen on TV product tropes.

Trejo as Enrique is great, because Enrique is pretty much the farthest thing from being a bad-rear end. Trejo's got some range.

Danny Trejo posted:I love doing it. Let me tell you something. When I was young, I was an armed robber. I did robberies. And there’s no adrenaline rush like that. When you’re using drugs and doing robberies, it’s hard to distinguish whether you’re doing robberies to support your drug habit, or doing drugs to support your robbery habit. Those guys that flip on motorcycles—it’s like the same kind of adrenaline. It’s unreal. The only time I ever felt that was when I heard Andrey Konchalovskiy yell, “Action!” And then I was like, “Wow. Here we are again. This whole adrenaline—” But this time I didn’t have a gun. I was like, “Wow. This is awesome.” I just totally got hooked. I found my calling. And then when I got my check, I said, “gently caress.” [Laughs.] “Wait a minute. For the first half of my life, I went to prison for being a bad guy. Now they’re paying me to be a bad guy. The dude can and should take every acting gig with a paycheck for the rest of his life, he had a one-in-a-million lucky break and he'll always be a badass.

gently caress that pig, and gently caress Geico. Do they really need another character associated with their company? Maybe they're planning an Avengers-type commercial with the caveman, the pile of money, that pig, and Brian Orakpo.

I don't know how many canadians are following this thread but dear god why are Tim Hortons commercials so consistently awful? Has anyone else noticed how every commercial for the last few years is based on the identical premise of having a group of similar people sitting/standing/driving/hanging around talking (inanely) about some Timmy's food item?

Few things I noticed during the Super Bowl last night, in addition to Anheueiser-Bush apparently getting exclusivity to the whole drat broadcast because holy hell thy were all over it: Seemed like a lot of companies were teaming up on spots. GE and Budweiser was one and I know there were at least 2-3 others. VW having Star Wars characters out of nowhere was pretty fun too. King/Pimp Elton John was loving awesome. Laughed like an idiot at the red M&M dancing naked at the party. Where in the hell has FedEx been lately? They usually have some of the best spots in the Super Bowl and this is at least 2-3 years they've been absent. And apparently GM has pissed off Ford with their spot and they give no gently caress: quote:"We stand by our claims in the commercial, that the Silverado is the most dependable, longest lasting full-size pickup on the road," said Joel Ewanick, GM Global Chief Marketing Officer in a statement."

DJExile posted:King/Pimp Elton John was loving awesome. For Pepsi right? That might have been the worst commercial I've ever seen. It just reeked off "what do the kids these days think is cool?" Elton John might as well have announced he must go because his home planet needs him then flown off frame by frame at the end. At least then it would have been ironic instead of insulting.

I think he may have been referring to the general presentation of Elton John as a king of some realm. That said, I disliked the commercial as a result of some contract for the X-Factor winner (Contest winner shall appear in a super bowl ad for pepsi). Pepsi shot themselves in the foot by throwing in this unknown (how many people watched X-Factor anyway?) to sing to Elton John. Now everyone is trying to figure out who this girl is instead of talking about the commercial/pepsi. You put any main celebrity in there instead and you've got a decent commercial.

Will Farrell's run of extremely targeted Old Milwaukee ads continued last night. Previously the ads have aired only in Davenport, Iowa and Terre Haute, Indiana. Last night's Superbowl ad went even smaller to North Platte, Nebraska. I've got to say, this is getting weird. Edit: The other day I saw a new Geico ad that I thought was really funny. Its a couple trying to save money on home security so they get a panther. It cuts to their bedroom at night with the panther sitting up on a dresser while they lie in bed eyes wide open. muscles like this! fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Feb 6, 2012 |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t34KBrek2_U This commercial has caused me to cancel my discover card because they show it CONSTANTLY. It is grating, it reminds me how much we consume, and I just flat out hate it. When the lady on the line asked why I was canceling my card I told her, your commercials are obnoxious. Seems I am not alone. It's cool though I still have a credit union card that is better. Feels good too, one less piece of plastic to carry around.

Having watched the Superbowl on BBC, I didn't see any ads, except for catching the tail end of one or two when they cut to the NBC feed slightly early. One such transition was to shots of Indianapolis, with one of the commentators saying "The beautiful city of Indianapolis, brought to you by Bud Light". I'm sure there was some context I missed, but it certainly seemed to imply that Bud Light was sponsoring the entire city.
