I still have a DVD of Jackie Chan's First Strike that I got with a pizza in college. I think another chain did that too, not sure if it was Papa John's or Papa Murphy's but I ended up with a DVD copy of Agent Cody Banks that came with a Pizza. Beastie posted:I assume the Pepsi ad is desperate attempt to get people to associate pizza and soda. Almost no one (comparatively) buys soda these days and it's even worse in Chicago where buying a 12 pack gets another $1.80 tacked on. I still buy soda when I can, which is less and less nowadays since 12-packs have become $5-6 for absolutely no reason, so I only buy bottles or when its on sale. Though when Pepsi pulls stupid stunts like halving the sugar content in their newer Mountain Dew varieties (Like White/Green Label or any new Game Fuels.) I feel like they're trying to push people away since they replace it with that Splenda poo poo they cram in all their diet drinks, so they taste like some nasty concoction. Coke doesn't do that but they don't ever seem to go on sale enough and I only drink Vanilla from them anyway. The only one consistently good is A&W and I think 7up (I don't remember if Dr Pepper is under their listing or if Pepsi bottles it up here) since they're usually $3 or less. Anything past that and you hit the store brands and they all taste funky.

I buy a 12 pack of soda every 12 work days. I like to keep it in my desk and have one with lunch, that's literally all the soda I drink anymore.

Like WHAT ON EARTH were you thinking when nobody over the age of 40 knows who the hell Lou Bega is, and more than 50% of people under 40 probably don't know either.

Gonz posted:There are two different commercials for a testosterone suppliment called Nugenix on TV, and both of them feature former MLB All Star Frank Thomas, and they're inundating every single channel on TV for the last 7-10 days. That reminds me that there are two Symbicort ads that are the exact same, but they replaced the actors: First one: https://www.ispot.tv/ad/AhO4/symbicort-wolf-huff-and-puff Second one: https://www.ispot.tv/ad/7CM2/symbicort-wolf Edit: Holy poo poo, there's a third that's also identical: https://www.ispot.tv/ad/AAPS/symbicort-wolf-coloring-princesses WTF? I'm genuinely confused why they'd pay to have 3 nearly identical commercials made.

I think it's safe to assume that any ad with a minor pre-2000 celebrity is either an annuity payment program or a class-action medical suit.

The Halsey/Jeep commercial looks like she filmed a commercial for Maybelline and at the last second Jeep asked if they could have it instead.

HAs anyone seen the "we found the 1964 Morgan Silver Dollar Commercial." It's hilarious bad with fact acting and trying to hit a weird demo because they talk about how Presidents and "desperados like Jesse James wanted silver dollars."

There's a radio commercial for I don't even know what but it has a teacher who among other things, says "pop quiz tomorrow!" WELL THEN IT'S NOT A POP QUIZ, rear end in a top hat Also how do you pay more than $3 for a 12-pack of soda, it's always on sale *somewhere*

When all the sales are crap like 3 for $12 it makes it harder to get it on sale. Most places seem to keep products stuck at MSRP of $5.50 usually up here except for occasional weekends and its some heavy bullshit.

I got my seltzers for 2 bucks per 12 pack recently. Some had broken cans, though, since the sale only happened because a forklift operator knocked over most of their stock.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RpmwqaxrwA There's nothing technically wrong with this commercial, but the smugness pisses me off; not because I'm dedicated to cable, but because the 'knocking down a straw man' advertising strategy doesn't seem like a huge winner to me, even if more and more people are cutting the cord. DirecTV isn't the only company with smug commercials. There's also the douche-y "ba-da-book" spokesman for Choice Hotels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oz6NTCxDGLA

Anyone missing the boner pill commercials during football yet? If I see one more "Dilly Dilly" Bud Light commercial, I'm going to go try and patent a new ED medication.

That ad pisses me off so much because it perfectly encapsulates the loving awful mentality of your average Bud Light drinker. "Something different? UGH, gently caress you, let's torture this dude!" Also, mead is delicious.

I assume engagements happen nowish because people are almost always surrounded by friends and families during the holidays. This makes a seemingly ideal time to get engaged. Also I assume they want people taking their year end bonuses and dumping them on diamonds.

The canned margarita commercials with a disinterested narrator talking about how it's "going to be one of those nights." Reminds me of 40 year old women posting pictures of their half glass of wine captioned with "it's 5 o'clock somewhere!!!"
