The AT&T family plan commercials have hit a new low for me. Watching Gordon Ramsey buy a plan seems weird. He does not question a thing just accepts it. This feels like a lazy ad where they paid Ramsey to show up for one day of shooting.

One of the comments there made me feel like Lily is going to be the next Flo for guys to fantasize about.
:v: "Lily has a nice rack on her. Love the side view."

I was on the fence about this one, but it's actually great. The actress had perfect delivery at the end, and it killed me.

I don't care if she's fat, the commercials with her are far less annoying than the ones with the prettier girl. No one should be that loving smug about anything, let alone fast food.

Every day I go into work, I get to see Dave Thomas's mug staring back at me from a pamphlet about being screened early for cancer.

The man will always be there. Staring back. Beckoning you to be screened for cancer, but also hinting that maybe you should buy a fresh hamburger too.

Totally agreed! Not that it makes a lick of difference, but as someone who ~works in advertising~ I actually think that ATT campaign with that lady are great; she sells the copy really really well

Holy poo poo, gently caress you for making me remember all those God-awful anti-smoking videos I had to watch in health class, along with that drat jingle.

What i always found funny, was that those videos were shown to several classes in my elementary school (and a bit into junior high/high school,) despite that fact that only one of the classes was actually going to be the class of 2000. I guess it wasn't in the budget to do a few variations on the jingle to have those annoying kids say "class of '99" or "class of '.01"

And there certainly wasn't a chance in Hell of any of them being "smoke free."

And there you sat, eating hamburgers while the world cried.
State Farm ran a funny ad where a man is talking late at night on the phone. His wife catches him and thinks it's a phone-sex thing but hears the State Farm representative on the other end. Then with as much venom as she can muster she says, "She sounds hideous!"

But as all insurance marketing does, State Farm ran it into the ground. They put out a sequel radio ad where she complains to a marriage counselor that her husband stays up late all night talking to some guy from State Farm who can save them lots of money on car insurance. It's not funny. It's not even almost-a-joke. Why would you ruin the good times? You're making your first ad less funny by attaching it to this 20 seconds of marketing-coasting.

I think the original ad was worse about this when the not at all fake twitter handle of the rep appeared on the screen. Sorry State Farm, if you want to pollute my feed with your poo poo you're going to have to pay for promotion like everyone else.

I haven't seen that second ad but the original has been on the TV for like 7 years now so that got ran into the ground anyway.

Actually it seems it's only been 3 years but it feels like 7.

I feel like even the ad kinda runs itself into the ground with the "She sounds hideous" being followed up with "Yeah, well she's a guy" but I think maybe at some point they edited that out? Not sure

I hate that commercial because the wife asks "What are you wearing, 'Jake' from state farm?" If you catch your husband having phone sex thats a weird question to ask. If there was actually a women on the other end I wonder what she expected her to say.

I unironically love the Stare Farm commercial with the old fishing guy. "I got you a dollar"

But they've shortened it and removed the best part which is him pulling the dollar away and saying "oooo you gotta be quicker than that"

Why is the husband fully awake at 3am buying insurance anyway? Also, the wife is a bitch.

Craig Robinson is really cool. I watched Hot Tub Time Machine and the last two seasons of The Office just because he was in it, after that a Dodge Dart commercial is nothing.

Carl's Jr ad.

It's so sexualized, it's almost a parody. The product is an afterthought. Some chick's rear end get shoved in your face, another random scantily scad chick walks into the barn for no reason, and then here's a burger I guess - scene.
