SpacePig posted:I can't wait for Star Wars to finally be out so that maybe every last thing advertised on TV doesn't have it somehow forcibly tied into it. I've always wondered, when something like Star Wars is shoe horned into a commercials to sell a completely unrelated product, which party is footing the bill to have the commercial made and have it air? Do they go 50/50 or does some company beg Disney to let them use Star Wars so people might actually give a poo poo?

Depends on the property I think. As I recall, all of the Smurfs tie in stuff (like Happy Meal toys and the like) actually paid for all of the costs of the movie before it even came out. For Star Wars, one goon was saying how when they worked at a movie theater, the theater would actually pay the distributor ticket price + 5bux for the privilege of showing the movie (I think this was TPM), so I imagine Disney probably gets paid for the merchandising rights.

The Star Wars car commercial is one of the legit most clever ads I've seen in years, I gotta say. I also have no idea what car company it's for and I've seen it multiple times.

I wonder how much money and time goes into advertising movies in this culture. It's bizarre. We have commercials in commercials. Branding on top of branding.

There was a commercial I saw like 20 years ago and only saw once that had so many layers I don't even know who the commercial was for. GE built the engines on the Boeing airliner that FedEx used to fly the lobster that you bought at Red Lobster. The ultimate commercial.

Pajamagram is all over the radio, and OK, sure, I can see how it might be a good gift idea, but all of the reads include this curious line of "a dedicated team of pajama experts", which... what? Also gently caress off Sherriessssss Berriessssss with your spokeswoman who can't stop hissing the hell out of her Ss

A nice side effect of this is that sometimes the equivalent product is much cheaper than the one you're "supposed" to get, so as long as you don't mind floral designs you can save a bunch of money on an identical product.

I can't find a Good Ads thread, if one even exists, so I'll drop this here. I don't hate this ad, I love it. Mainly for the choice of music. It plays twice because it's that awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDdjsz585nU

Yeah, Burr was obviously having none of it. The best "not giving a poo poo" podcast ad, though, is still Norm with the Man Grate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnjQKZpmRC0 For an ad that I hate, there's one currently playing on a local radio station for a place called Ollie's. It's a commercial of people who can't really sing, singing "Have a jolly Ollie's Christmas". That's bad enough as it is, but it also has the most off-putting attempt at harmonizing I've ever heard. I wish I could describe it well on here, or even find it online somewhere, but I can't find anything but TV commercials online.

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen these ads, Santa Ollie is kind of terrifying.  I'm tempted to record the radio to get that jingle, they're a weird mix of charming and just awful. OLLIE DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN.

Last year my GF worked for them (well, technically she worked for Vermont Teddy Bear, but same company) part time in their call center, and yeah, "Pajama Experts" is stretching it. She had, like, a two hour training session or something to get "Certified" to sell pajamas.

I think you can probably learn the sum total of humanity's knowledge of pyjamas in two hours. I mean, it's loving pyjamas, not nuclear physics. EDIT: On another note: what the gently caress is up with these fragrance ads? Some of them are so strange it makes Un Chien Andalou look quite normal.

Its some kernkraft production that ended up in a stock music library edit: the actual answer is "its a tie", since KITH made it in Fall '93, and as far as I can remember, Harlem Heat has always had always used the song since their debut in Late Summer/Fall '93. I should go find the one time that Booker couldn't use it because he lost the use of all Harlem Heat IP after Stevie Ray somehow won it and started teaming with Big T.

Yeah, we're the ones that made it an abomination, not the group that decided "-ough" is somehow "-ow;" crammed a silent u into everything that ends with "-or;" and gave the world "masheen," "kernal," and "Wensday." Oh wait sorry I mean machine, colonel, and Wednesday.
