If all most people remember from your ad is "that guy from those movies" then somebody miscalculated. Polygynous fucked around with this message at 16:50 on May 2, 2016 |

Retail Slave posted:Also, gently caress that commercial series about the 4 guys who rob a bank and keep evading the police simply because they're in a Prius. Apparently roadblocks or spike strips don't exist in this universe? And then they poo poo their pants because THE POLICE HAVE PRIUSES TOO OMG!!! The most recent one I've seen is now, since the cops can keep up since they have Priuses, a bunch of regular folks with identical Priuses to the guys' come in and do a switcheroo with them. So, you know, the car is incredibly common and not unique, and is easily lost in a crowd. Cool message.

Wasn't the first one a Superbowl commercial? Everyone tries to milk the hell out of their Superbowl purchase by making a large number of sequels, pretending it's good enough for an ad campaign. It's like a producer thinking making a movie based off a SNL skit is going to be great idea.

The weirdest thing about those commercials is that they completely ignore/downplay how those guys robbed the bank and stole that car.

muscles like this? posted:It's for the new LG phone and you know it's a quality commercial when they have to specify that the thing they're showing it doing isn't actually possible. They make it look like you can hot swap the battery but the disclaimer states that no, it has to be off. I don't understand that commercial. Are they trying to show me that the phone has a battery, as though that is some unique and novel thing in cell phones? Retail Slave posted:Ricky Gervais is not entertaining and needs to go be unfunny somewhere else. The part of those lovely commercials I find the most dubious is that this gang of incompetent theives become some kind of pop culture phenomenon and people are rooting for them everywhere. If it were real I imagine people would be going out of their way to say "gently caress those guys" and personally trying to run them off the road. Of course this is all ignoring the part where they're advertising their car with characters that stole the car they're trying to sell you. raditts fucked around with this message at 23:02 on May 2, 2016 |

There would be someone that was willing to spend the $500 to buy a beater and try to intentionally ram them, then declare himself to be Batman at his reckless driving hearing, in an attempt to be an even bigger folk hero.

The weird thing about those commercials for me is that it's Nicky, Frank, and Ziggy Sobotka from the second season of the Wire as 3 of the 4 robbers. I have no idea who the 4th is, but it's a strange place for a reunion.

All this Bands Saying Bae stuff makes me angry, but I'm not looking forward to the day where I'm so out of touch with today's youth that it's completely incomprehensible. That day is coming soon. It's harder and harder to keep up with it. Essentially: I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was and now what's it seems weird and scary to me. It'll happen to you!

One day in the not so distant future, all fast food ads will be blasted at your face with photos of food interspersed with loud techno music and flashing lights. Like the opening titles of Gaspar Noe's "Enter the Void". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNtxgxYY7sI There will also be an ultra high pitched (and backmasked) sound frequency that will give you intense nosebleeds.

Money will no longer be accepted at any fast food joint. Instead, payment will be conducted involving an ever-increasingly more elaborate series of high fives, low fives and handshakes. If you're an old person who doesn't know the correct combination, you will starve to death in the parking lot. BA DA BAH BAH BAHHHHH I'm Lovin' It. http://i.imgur.com/H6TuaZj.gifv

 at Uber launching a PR blitz to sway legislation their way.This seems like they made it from the same template as the commercials trying to claim that fracking is totally safe and beneficial. "You can work whenever you want to and you decide what hours you'll get paid peanuts for! It's really empowering!!" gently caress you, Uber. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9LUcvWSG6o
