And I never knew that someone could be so loving smug over some cheap plastic ear buds. The only one that actively irritates me is "CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-[wheeze]-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE"

Buick Enclave lady; how can people stare at how hot you are apparently when your hair is constantly covering your face, even when you turn to the camera

I hate how every single Apple product commercial is the exact same thing: a white background showing what the iPhone, iPad, or other product can do. Compare them to the commercial for the Google tablet, which shows far more imagination than the "buy our product because it can do this cool thing!" premise of Apple commercials. I guess they don't need to put much into advertising because of the built-in audience.

I don't care how much money you spent on getting some media studies students to make a 30 second art film. If you want me to buy your product you better tell me what I'm supposed to get out of it.

doritos posted:Isn't that exactly what a good ad is? A great example of this is comparing Apple's introduction of the iPad to how Microsoft introduced the Surface tablet. Apple's iPad marketing was simple: "Here are all the ways this magical little device will make your life better. Share photos. Watch movies. Be social." Microsoft's Surface press release, however, was essentially listing features and attributes of the tablet. Apple focused on the amazing things you could do with their product, whereas Microsoft focused upon what it was. Installing a pool in your backyard isn't the compelling part of having a pool. Being able to splash in it on a hot summer day, however, is. Timby fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Oct 7, 2012 |

The one thing I think is funny about the iPhone 5 commercials is how they're really only showcasing features that were missing from older iPhone models, not the numerous other smartphones on the market these days. "It's so obvious, it only took us 5 phones to come up with it."

Ford is running some pretty terrible ads for their new hybrid. Mostly because they don't do a very good job of actually showing off the car instead focusing on this crappy animated bit for the first half of the commercial.

Atasi posted:Well when your supplier pulls the rug out from under you, what can you do? They promoted it like it was all set to go and all finished. It wouldn't have been hard to say "Look, maps is still in testing, send in your comments, help us out, etc", but they rushed it and got burned. Besides, marketing things like comfortable earbuds as if you invented it, and the "there's more of it, and yet less of it! The laws of physics are just suggestions!  " things are dumb enough.E: Hell, every ad they ran for the 5 was basically an admission that there was nothing new or advanced about it. Even if all the Galaxy 3 did was this "touch it to another GS3 to transfer stuff" feature, it was at least something new. The iPhone 5 didn't have any neat advancements like Siri on the 4S, a huge battery like the Razr Maxx, it's nearly an admission that they peaked with the 4S.

Promoting features you've finally fixed is pretty SOP for advertising. Mad had a piece in the Sixties showcasing the old and unimproved products companies were implicitly admitting to.

The CitiCard commercial where the guy gets dumped is the loving pits. Yes boring guy, you are now next-level-generic boring white dude when you think participating in a cooking class, going to a museum, and seeing an Alicia Keys concert alone make you less boring. You will be alone forever, sorry.

I don't think that was the point. It was that he thought his life was exciting now, when his last girlfriend dumped him because he was boring. I don't think it had anything to do with him doing those things to impress women. He was "moving on" by using his credit card rewards in a way that was akin to "living well is the best revenge." Still a terrible ad, but that's how I saw it.

Armyman25 posted:Maybe he is doing things to make his life more fulfilling so he doesn't need someone else to complete him? My point being that he was dumped for being boring, and continued to be that way despite the commercial suggesting otherwise, because said activities are pretty much the blandest things on the planet. I can't be the only one thinking about the Office episode where Michael "smoked a clove cigarette at the Alicia Keys concert"!

It's loving hilarious when it's some truck or SUV and the announcer brags it has a "with a whopping 18 miles per gallon, you'll see savings in your wallet." Yeah, saving $100 a month on gas (at best) totally makes up for paying $500 a month on a car loan.
