Vicas posted:What i don't understand is that this dude is clearly in a pretty decent car whose brand they do everything they can to obscure, but, like, isn't the whole point of this ad campaign that Buicks used to be these lovely looking old people cars Yeah, I think that's pretty much the only thing worse than actually mentioning your competitors by name, and both GM and Chrysler seem to love doing it. "Honest, we're not poo poo anymore!"

It worked for Domino's, because it was pretty clever and they actually did make a tangible improvement on their pizza from "loving terrible" to "incredibly mediocre but works if you're desperate." The car companies, though, Jesus.

The Ford "swap your ride" ads seemed to be a lot better while getting a similar message across.

speaking of auto ads... let's put the same guy in front of a pickup and a boring sedan and ask TOTALLY REAL people what they think

That one pissed me off for a silly reason: they made the truck red. People are drawn to the color red, it's dynamic and suggests power. You replace the truck with the same car, but color it red? People'd choose the red one over the one that was it muted blue/silver.

The thing that pisses me off most about that commercial is it's the same picture of the guy, so no one would react that way. "Which of these two guys would you rather go out with?" "...that's the same guy."

raditts posted:Gosh, I better get the redneckmobile, I wouldn't want second graders to make assumptions about the kind of pets I have! That was my first thought. I live in the goddamn bay area, and the only people around here who drive trucks are fancy landscapers and middle managers who want to play at cowboy. So put some otherwise clean-cut, non-toothless guy in a polo shirt in front of a Prius and I'll say he looks like a normal guy. Put him in front of a pickup truck and I see a guy who looks like he's over-compensating for something. Seriously, car companies, if you're not one of the companies that doesn't need to advertise, like Ferrari, Lamborghini, or Maserati, no one gives a flying gently caress what you drive, regardless of the state of your ironic hipster facial hair.

They wouldn't show both pictures to the same focus group at the same time. They would show the pictures to 2 different focus groups, or show the two pictures at different times, or show both pictures at the same time, but one of the pictures is of a different guy. Any one of these options would add credibility to their fake "study". But, no. They hold up 2 pictures of the same guy, standing next to two different vehicles: 1st picture, a lovely econo-box, 2nd picture a big ol' mud-thrashin', back woods, off-roadin' pick-em up truck. Which guy is cooler/more manly/has a bigger dick? Why not ask "which guy is a racist homophobe/slaps his wife around when drunk/obsessed with guns/Thinks WWF wrestling is real/would blow up an abortion clinic?" Can we just stop with the completely fake scripted focus group study commercials already, though? It's fake. And scripted. Stop with the street interview "which one would you choose?" bullshit. There are WAY too many of these.

Ugh, in this Toyota commercial one of the actors keeps saying hashtag while touching the first two fingers on each hand together to make a hashtag symbol.

Every time someone says "hashtag" in real life, it makes me want to hit them in the loving face. And if you refer to the # symbol itself as a hashtag, you need a beating. It's a hash, that's why it and whatever drivel it's attached to is called a "hashtag" together. If the symbol itself were a hashtag, then it'd be called a hashtagtag and that's just retarded. I'm angry, angry about social media!!!!

The Nehi was unbearably sweet and the Moxie tasted like spiced mop water. I learned my lesson to never drink olden time pop* from there on out. * Except for Dublin Dr. Pepper and Cel-Ray. Those are great.
