Country singer and actress. Had a sitcom named after her back in the 00's that wasn't bad as such things go.

There's a Georgia Lottery commercial that features a flying pig. A "I'll win the lottery when pigs fly" thing.

The talking pig sounds just like Master Shake.

VAs on Adult Swim shows often do voiceovers on local ads in Georgia as well. I know the guy who did Space Ghost did radio ads for many years, dunno if he still does.

Comcast tailors ads. The algorithm is hosed and potentially intentionally so. I’m using my moms Comcast and she watches exclusively news shows so it makes sense that I get stupid ads for COMCAST IS GOOD FOR YOUR BUSINESS. But why am I still getting ads for food when I watch depressing shows about starvation, etc? Or like, an ad for a discount store when I watch Hoarders? I know I’ve complained about this before, but I’m just pissed that they have so much $$$$ but can’t afford for someone to work on their algorithm. It’s not hard.

If show = depressing show
Do not show ad about said depressing subject making it HILARIOUS

*watching show about poor people who can’t afford medical treatment
FUNNY AD FOR EXPENSIVE HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANY THAT ONLY THE RICH CAN AFFORD

Maybe the programmers at Comcast hate their jobs so much that they’re doing this intentionally as some way to like, pass the pain on or something. Relieve the pain they face as Comcast employees.

E: on the App so there’s only 1-2 commercials: I am watching the show about Waco Texas where they just talked about how nobody took children out of the burning building with video of the huge burning fire— (25 children died and they’re talking about that). Cut to an ad about Chucky Cheeze. Is this a sick joke? What in the loving gently caress.

E2: first you have the show of Elizabeth Smart talking about how she is starving and near death and show an ad for Digiornos with this happy party of people eating pizza. Now there’s this poo poo about Chucky Cheeze following children goddamn burning to death!

I’m gonna go throw up.

I'm disappointed because for years The Last Leg on the channel 4 site has had Foster's ads which were just low-key, calm, and quiet; a nice breath between bits of the show. Now they have Coors ones that are some guy dancing in an empty ice bar that feel like they go on for 10 seconds too long even though they're probably the same length. I'm sure I'll adjust, but it's jarring.

Comcast doesn't really control the ads, and even if they did they have to meet the delivery minimums for the clients who will often be buying bulk or targeting those specific shows, especially in long-tail inventory like a Comcast digital re-broadcast and not the actual TV.

If you remember lawyer Jamie Casino and his crazy ad from the Super Bowl a few years ago, he bought another local ad. This one isn't as wild, but he seems to have gotten someone to scoop up all the $5 TVs at the area Goodwills.

Anyone else feel really loving gross about all the Superbowl ads that were trying to use diversity/inclusiveness to sell their poo poo?

There were several ads that were like 59 seconds of "Isn't humanity great when we all work together?" followed by a 1 second punch of "BUY T-MOBILE!"

And that Hyundai ad with the cancer survivors....just yikes. "You're a better and more moral person because you bought this brand of car"

Holy poo poo, that ad reminded me of the Boondocks cartoon. There was a dream episode where MLK wakes up from a coma after 30 years, and at one point he sees his picture being used in an iPod advertisement.

He frowns and says something like ‘I don’t recall approving this...’

So it’s whoever is buying ad space is evil then? Marketer sees “show about children dying, ad space $1,000” and they’re like, “sweet! I can put my children’s theme park ad in this!”

Is that how it works? I do not know :smith:

I remember they teased the release of a trailer for the Han Solo movie, and that was pretty funny, but not really on purpose.

I also remember the commercial that was a row of babies and a speech about equality that ended up being an ad for T-Mobile, which was very stupid.

There was one where they sang a song at the end that felt like it was originally supposed to say "Tide Pods", since it fit the meter, and was edited to remove it.

They used to call me tricky-kid, I lived the life they wish they did.


I don't follow football and I feel like the quality of ads during the SB has gone down drastically since the concept of "viral" hit. I haven't bothered to follow up on the ads the next day in years.

It seems like the most memorable SB ads were from the early to mid 2000's before everything was a parody of that one show that everyone is watching. It seems like now ever agency is trying to create the thing that hits every demographic and pop culture note so you end up with this incredibly lovely and boring campaign.

Maybe I'm getting older, maybe I'm jaded. These are entirely possible. But so many ads lack any sort of creativity and instead rely on "That show! We aped that show you and your idiot friends love! Sprint's network rules! That show you love!"
