fizzymercy posted:See also: AWOLnation. And I don't blame any band for selling out. Being a rock star seems extremely worth having your music played over footage of a mid-range vehicle doing sweet donuts in a desert. It was funny seeing Smash Mouth go from sorta-edgy punk-ska band to movie soundtrack and commercial pop sellouts. They even sold their song about weed to Chevy for car commercials.

Thin Privilege posted:Stereotype that men in heterosexual couples hate weddings and planning and it’s all that women are crazy about their weddings. I always see this in car commercials, too. Ford had the lovely "Fight Song" commercial of the woman having it all and doing it all and all she gets to drive is some low to mid-range econobox. gently caress that, put her in a god drat Mustang. Even the high end luxury sports car commercials always show the dude in an awesome car while the gal drives some boring piece of poo poo made to ferry kids around.

Mahoning posted:Let me preface this by admitting that I actually don’t mind Imagine Dragons’ music. I even like some of it. But if you’re familiar with their music you quickly realize they are the biggest corporate sellouts on the planet. Their music is EVERYWHERE and in EVERY COMMERCIAL EVER. Or more often, it’s used as a bumper going into and out of commercial breaks during sporting events. I’ve never seen anything like it. Make me a make me a believer, beeeeeeeeliever. You're absolutely right. They're in every god drat phone and car ad. Also that wedding registry thing is super annoying.

What broke my and many old die hard fans’ hearts was when Billy Corgan sold Today to some credit card commercial. He had aaaaalways said he would never sell any of his songs. Lyrics are “today is the greatest day I’ve ever known.” The song is about suicide.

There's a Merrill lynch commercial where they find a stereotypical gay couple and show them they hadn't saved enough for retirement. "How is this happening?!" One of them screeches in most  way possible.

Not really a awful ad, but that was not the best pairing of ads. The first ad was some psa showing a funeral while showing a cop finding a phone on the roadside near a crash, with a warning that texting while driving might be your last message. And then the next ad is for Mountain Dew showing a driver talking on the phone with Siri while driving. In actual bad ad news, the Nike ad with the people obsessed with shoes is awful.

Gaunab posted:A lot of commercials are using the same music. I think that "if you ain't where it is" song has been played like six months straight on several different commercials. It's so bad that I was surprised it was a real song since it sounds like it was created by a committee. Is that the one that's on those Samsung phone commercials, because that loving song makes me strongly consider punching my television

Not since that Cadillac ad has there been such an accidental self own on the American capitalist system. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2zkZgZYEng I know this one isn't new but it's been on a bunch and when I don't mute it in time I get "THEY CALL ME D.J NANA" stuck in my head.

If we didn't have video proof that it was real and completely meant to be taken as genuine, you would never convince me that wasn't satire.

I saw a commercial with the sound off at the gym but what I gathered seemed pretty hosed up. It was for some kid's nutrition drink (I think Pedialyte) and it was straight up saying your kid isn't going to grow unless they drink our stuff.

He'll hopefully go down in history as yet another classic commercial spokesperson/mascot. I love this man. He really cares about me and my addiction.

Sadly I doubt it’s up on YouTube, but I just saw a local ad for an electrician company called Patriot Electric Services. Guys... the place is called PATRIOT Electric Services, and their company logo has an American flag in it... but the music playing in the ad was Dixie.
