explosivo posted:One of my favorite bad commercial tropes is songs getting appropriated for commercial use by taking one line out of the song and playing it over and over again to match their message, and wondering if the band ever considered while writing the song that some day they're gonna get a fat check from Chevy because they'll want to use this song for sure. I sincerely believe that the "don't believe me just watch" hook in Uptown Funk was written with something like this in mind.

Budweiser created the coronavirus to harm their biggest competitor and bring back their most popular ad. It all makes sense.

Elmo's Wash Your Hands song has been airing as a public service ad here. Part of the music sounds like Ring My Bell and I can't unhear it.

OoooOOOoooOoooh Ozempic! "Ozempic can help you lose up to 12 pounds!" [cut] "Since I started Ozempic I've lost 12 pounds!" "...oh!  "  The diaper commercial with the rap about going from bottles to sippy cups. All of the Charmin bear commercials, but ESPECIALLY the one with the bear cub singing to his parents about having a clean asscrack. Ugh. Like those terrible "lol adulting is hard waahh" memes.  Smiling Mandrill posted:But there is a special place in hell for state farm just for playing that "Rise Up" song over, and over, and over. I swear there is not a commercial break that goes by that I don't hear that loving ear worm. Oh that was State Farm? Guess I won't be giving them money any time soon. ghost emoji posted:I've been listening to Spotify at work today. Spotify has played the same Ralph's "thanks to our employees for helping out during These Uncertain Times" during every ad break. It feels like it lasts about fifteen minutes, without saying a single thing. In my experience, Spotify has this Jack Daniels ad that's also really annoying, but of course I can't find it now.

In my neck of the woods, I get a quasi-crunchy women singing that I have to be "go clean, go clean...go clean, go clean!" to the tune of Jolene. https://twitter.com/VTAgencyofAg/status/1240235628480155649 It's actually done well, but Jolene is a drat perfect song and I will not stand by this desecration of Ms Dolly Parton!

Promoted Pawn posted:Crosspost from the USPOL thread: This must be a comedy bit. That's the only way this makes sense. Honestly though, there's a special place in hell for "woke" advertising. Yeah, you're selling me razors because you want to tell me how to be a better man. Like, it's a good message to spread, but advertising by it's nature is disengengious. It just feels cheap, and post bate for the most annoying social media users on both sides. Because you'll see a million posts linking to low quality articles about how important the ads are, and then posts complaining about how their razors are now political. It's still not as bad as those cable commercials where they sing the phone number in an incredibly awkward way that doesn't match the rest of the song.

My least favorite of the Covid-era ads is probably Microsoft Teams. It just feels extra exploitative, like “look how useful we are in the midst of a global emergency with countless dead!”

Progressive's new "lol our salespeople are in a Zoom meeting" commercials are so loving annoying. Being reminded that we have to have Zoom meetings instead of talking to people face-to-face is vaguely stressful, especially when those commercials have poo poo like video/audio choppiness and people accidentally talking over each other.

The ad about Sprint and T-Mobile merging has Gary Glitter's "Do You Want to Touch Me?" in the background. Hopefully the kiddie-diddler doesn't get royalties from it.
