The new Axe commercials that end in repeating loop like a gif or vine annoy me.

I'd like to believe that my family would think enough of my memory to not sell my digital likeness to Pepsi for a postmortem commercial. Even if I was working commercials in life. Jesus. But hey even they've got bills to pay. Drink Pepsi.

This discussion made me think of an old Simpsons episode where Krusty temporarily stops being a corporate shill. His standup routine touched on using dead celebrities to sell things. ‘You’ve got Vincent Price floating around on a urinal cake talking about ‘the horrors of an unclean bowl’!’ If by some chance I become a national treasure, I’d preempt that poo poo by making my own low-budget shill to be played upon my death. ‘Hi, I’m America’s sweetheart LadyPictureShow. I’m dead as Hell now, but when I was alive, you bet I loved the crisp, refreshing taste of Polar seltzer!’ *presses button on euthanasia machine*

If their estates complain, CGI the surviving family members into the commercials without their permission. Make them dance around with the products and give them extremely stupid looks on their faces.

DJExile posted:There was also a... I think Dove chocolate? ad with a terrifying uncanny valley version of Audrey Hepburn Oh, god, I remember that. I think enough of it was actual movie footage of her, so it's wasn't entirely off-putting, but her eating the chocolate I remember being pretty weird looking, and the cuts between archival footage and recently filmed hands being kinda funny.

I know there was a GAP commercial a while back with Audrey Hepburn, but I think it was (luckily) just old footage of her dancing intercut with ‘hip people in GAP clothes’ doing the same dance. And let’s not forget Marilyn Monroe in a Snickers commercial. The easy, money-friendly solution is just dress someone up in a bedsheet. ‘Boo! It’s me, the ghost of David Bowie. I hope I didn’t scare you, but I can guarantee what isn’t scary: the cleaning power of Dyson vacuums!’

I won’t be satisfied until we advance to the technology wherein we can clone and quickly vat-grow dead celebrities to shill poo poo. I’m sure it’ll take time to iron out all the wrinkles though. *Julia Child clone makes it halfway through an ad for Le Creuset pots, before becoming self aware she can’t remember her life before the commercial, proceeds to scream for twenty minutes straight before tearing her own head off* ‘Le Creuset!’

I feel like the "nothing can stop me I'm all the way up" Mt. Dew commercial with Danny McBride is just a cut of a longer commercial that I've never seen. It's very strange just having that clip.

gently caress all of these new KFC commercials with the really strange new Colonel. I don't know how long they've been on, maybe they're actually really old, I don't have cable. But I'm in Nashville for a week for work and at least one of them is on every commercial break.

I admittedly don’t know really know wrestlers outside of the really ridiculous 80s/early 90s guys or the ones that jumped to mainstream. But I would appreciate a Colonel Sanders wearing hotshorts and disco boots. Is that one announcer John Cena in a bad wig?
