That's where the smart money is. AR cards sound cool, but complicated when you can just buy and download that poo poo from those sources.

You do have to remember its for kids and kids do like having physical things they can carry around, show off, and all those other things kids like to do with something that's theirs.

I really hope that one day, a giant company like Coca-Cola, or Pizza Hut, or Frito-Lay make a series of ads lampooning the mixed up black-and-white failureworld that exists in so many commercials today. Have a nuclear power plant employee reach for a competitor's product, and then clumsily slip and fall onto a huge console full of blinking buttons, causing the whole facility to melt down, killing millions, all in a monochromatic shade of disaster and tragedy.

Dear DestinationXL: I'm pretty sure there are plenty of good ways to convey the message that you are a good resource for exceptionally large men who need to buy clothes, however a bunch of overweight guys in their underwear wandering a wasteland is probably not one of them

The Rock It Grill is basically what I envision purgatory to be. Apathetic karaoke performances, billiards and lovely bar food.

Oh, well...hello there, Radio Shack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbtewxfcptw  Edit: Ahhh, that's why this looked familiar. It's a take off of this song/video:  http://vimeo.com/63173106 (Lots of breasts, rear end, and such.)

I wonder if when Ice Cube was in NWA that he ever imagined he'd go on to film a series of commercials where he regularly gets punked by a beer can. http://www.ispot.tv/ad/7Zfe/coors-light-worlds-most-refreshing-can-featuring-ice-cube

Chuck Liddell can threaten people with bodily harm to get better seats at the game, be allowed to take flash photos when clearly against policy, or even ride a dolphin. He cannot make beer magically appear if the bar is sold out.

Watching TV with binoculars sounds like a great idea, though, especially since screen resolution is a myth

Bud light - who is the official sponsor of the ufc anyways - should have a commercial where the various security guards are Shogun Rua, Rashad Evans and other fighters who have knocked Chuck out.

Hey look, a series of commercials that feel more slimy than those BP Gulf tourism commercials. (The Sugarland "Stand Up" is the commercial I see the most, but this one is equally cringeworthy). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aX4Vk9jblM

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcyBkylYnqU Literally just saw this pop during television. For the love of god, isn't there some sort of FCC standard that says I don't have to be subjected to this? By the way, Anti-big tobacco activists? Your ads suck. (Not to say that anti-smoking ads are bad. the ones I saw that focused on that aspect seemed effective)

Yes commercial, urea is found in cat pee and cigarettes. It can also be found in: Nair Skin Cream Dish Soap Tooth Whitening Products What is your point, commercial? Is this what anti-smoking commercials have to stoop to? Misleading gross-out tactics? Is CIGARETTES WILL GIVE YOU HORRIBLE CANCER, YO not enough to dissuade people? Because that is a sign that something is very wrong here.

If it makes you feel any better, I've seen plenty of the other type of commercial where they have people with tracheotomies or amputated limbs/digits, so there's that... I guess...

ElwoodCuse posted:They just pay for them, not create them I'm fairly certain they have creative input. I was always amused by the ones where they would put little signs next to dog poop on the sidewalk "Tobacco has the same stuff that's in this doggy-doo". You are not making the world a better place by putting those signs. In fact you are littering. Picking up all that crap would make the world a better place though.

I get a kick out of commercials for junk food where the only semi-positive attribute they can say about their product is that it's "A source of food energy." Always in fine print of course. Must be a legal thing.

Right up there with the recent line of Centrum multi-vitamin commercials. They spend the whole ad extolling how recently big time scientists did a study on the long term effect of multi-vitamins, and guess what? They used Centrum in the study! Of course, there's absolutely zero information in the ads about what the study found, but at least they used Centrum!

The best part is that due to a series of lawsuits, Five Hour Energy is no longer allowed to claim that they actually provide energy nor last a full five hours.
