Liberty Mutual was perfectly fine with their previous ad campaign, but good god is that a bad jingle.

Thin Privilege posted:I just saw this ad for Progressive that reminds me soooo creepily of the Walmart Manager guy making the employees sing a song to the tune of Queen’s “we will rock you.” The ad is literally a guy on a megaphone telling this group of 20 people unenthusiastically singing some song and he’s like YOU GOTTA SING IT LOUDER and then they do and are like robots singing a dumb jingle, and the guy LITERALLY PUTS PRAYER HANDS IN FRONT OF HIS FACE AND KNEELS DOWN WHEN THEY DO. That Progressive ad is terrifying, the dude is loving orgasmic. Please kill and bury the Jamie character immediately, tia.

I can’t believe I remember the slogan (? The thing they repeat in every commercial) from a slim Jim ad from the 90s that I obviously saw a poo poo ton of times cause I used to watch a ton of TV instead of doing homework or whatever, and most likely even more during summer. loving advertising.

 I remember an embarrassing number of ads that used to air on Nickelodeon when I was a kid, especially if they were ads for things I didn't have.

I've seen a similar Progressive ad, but with Heaven Is A Place on Earth in place of Queen. What annoys me is not so much Jamie (though I'm getting sick of "quirky" characters like him everywhere) but the fact that the ad doesn't say anything. It's thirty seconds of a choir singing song and Jamie interrupting them, but it doesn't say jack poo poo about Progressive's insurance or why we should buy it. There's a lot of that kind of advertising these days, which has a lot of memes and irony, but very little actual advertising, and it's a huge pet peeve of mine.

That's because the brand is the most valuable and important thing, the actual product is ancillary at best. Like what's really the difference between Progressive and All State, or between Farmers and Liberty, other than their name and brand presence?

The Sears air conditioning ad is quite possibly the worst ad ever devised in the history of television. "I'll call now!" Call a garbage truck, you human trash.

Progressive lets you compare your price with other companies, even if they're not the lowest one!

That goddamned Sears commercial is stuck in my memory forever thanks to Nickelodeon growing up. The only other ad that's had legs like it is the Muzzy commercial. I'll always know how to say I'm a little girl in French.

So the other night I saw a commercial for Experian's identity theft protection service. How exactly can you promote yourself as an expert in identity protection when you hosed up, got hacked, and exposed a couple hundred million Americans' data?

The commercial burnt into my head is the hook from the Blockbuster commercial. "Wow what a difference . .. Blockbuster Video." Even as a kid I was ironically just singing the hook over and over and over again to annoy people, but like most things done ironically there always is a price, and this time it's remember that hook and it floating back into my head, whenever, forever.

My local ISP/Cable provider, Cox Communications, has been promoting their new high-speed service by showing capabilities and products that don't and can't possibly exist. It's a very strange strategy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uhFyrmBKtg

To be fair, Comcast usually fails more in the customer service part than actual having the TV work.
