I saw a commercial yesterday that actually caused me to cry out in disgust. It is for some insane product that's like a Neti pot but it's a machine that you stick up your nose and it flushes water through your sinuses. It looks absolutely horrifying.

Vicas posted:The problem with Geico is that they launch about 20 ad campaigns per year and the second someone admits one of them is good they commission 10 more commercials on that theme, so that even the good ones eventually get completely unbearable. It's so baldfaced and soulless that it's like the Oatmeal of car insurance They do this because auto insurance is something that literally everybody needs but nobody really cares about so the shotgun approach lets them appeal to every demographic across the board and get their name out there so when it comes time to buy insurance they just automatically go to Geico because they know the name.

There's a holiday Microsoft Surface commercial airing where there is a giant choir of people standing outside an Apple Store singing Christmas songs. You literally see the Apple logo thats on the store more than the Surface logo thats tiny on all of their sweaters. I cannot understand what the gently caress they were thinking.

I think people are now buying the insurance and then crashing into walls to try to stop the ads: quote:Undewriting profit at GEICO plummeted 87% to $53 million as payouts to settle claims by clients surged 21% to $4. billion. Claims frequencies increased in the first half of the year in all major policy areas, including collision policies, which were up about 4%, and property damage and bodily injury policies, up 6%, Berkshire Hathaway said. Across all its insurance businesses, Berkshire reported a $38 million underwriting loss, compared with a $411 million profit in the same period last year.

I don't understand GMC commercials. It's a commercial where two different people buy two wildly different things. "I saved hundreds on this anamatronic snowman!" "Well I saved thousands on a brotruck.  " Like...good for you?

My favorite example of this is lube. You can buy Liquid Silk and Gun Oil. They are made by the same company and are chemically identical. The only difference is Liquid Silk comes in a pink floral bottle and Gun Oil's is grey and army green. Which one am I supposed to purchase as a heterosexual male?

This may be more significant for the ADTRW regulars, but recently I've been seeing a number of commercials for both Ford and Buick products using footage from Dragon Ball Z, of all things.

One of the best parts of the documentary Cleanflix, which is about black market Mormon movie piracy rings that re-edit Hollywood movies to remove all the sex and violence, is when they show one of those cloying Better Life ads where a man is sitting on a park bench next to a little girl and making silly faces to cheer her up...and then later reveals that that man was busted soliciting sex from underage girls and was selling porn out of the back of his Mormon video store.

The Cleanfix thing reminds me of a previous coworker who was religious to the point of having a device that went between his DVD player and TV that would mute foul language and put a subtitled substitute on the screen (it would read the subtitle stream ahead of time). I offered him my copy of Pulp Fiction to see if it would cause the device to explode. He declined.

IIRC one of those companies was able to work in the gray market for a while because it would only edit copies that people would send in. Then they got greedy and started offering pre-edited movies, which Hollywood wasn't too fond of.

Cleanflix is a fascinating documentary. The best part is the self-righteousness of these guys, being outraged that movie distributors are trying to shut them down for selling unauthorized edits of their movies.Mister Kingdom posted:The Cleanfix thing reminds me of a previous coworker who was religious to the point of having a device that went between his DVD player and TV that would mute foul language and put a subtitled substitute on the screen (it would read the subtitle stream ahead of time). The TV Guardian? I remember seeing a thing about that on TV several years back, on 60 Minutes or something. On that segment they actually showed the one scene from Pulp fiction where Travolta is asking Sam Jackson about footrubs and Sam Jackson keeps saying "gently caress you." They bowdlerized it to "Go away." Other than that I believe it's most (in)famous for bowdlerizing "Dick van Dyke" as "Jerk van Lesbian." raditts fucked around with this message at 02:30 on Jan 4, 2016 |
