I know this is my fault for never looking up one of those Youtube ad blockers, but ads on Youtube have started doing the whole "louder than the regular videos" thing that commercials on TV did. I guess I need to start lobbying my senator.

Does anyone know where I can find that commercial that plays on Pandora & Spotify all the time for the.. I think Toyota C? The woman rambles about how she likes her car because she likes to show off, literally compares an automatic seat to magic and ends it by talking about the "Earth's blood." It's such a massive train wreck of cliche I've wanted to share it, but keep finding the extended, far less hilarious version when I look. It seriously sounds like a parody ad.

Mid eighties when I was a kid there was a series of ads for either a food or a cleaning product I'm thinking that all had this musical tagline at the end: "Something something something, makes it ronno-right" About 99% sure the word isn't ronno just that's what my mind heard it as. Anyone have a clue what I'm taking about?

Not ronco, this was for 1 certain product consumable, not a rotisserie oven, and just a normal commercial.

I have the ad for their food dehydrator burned into my childhood memory.  There was also that counter-top rotisserie I remember them advertising like 5 times a day before they became commonplace in B&M stores.

I don't think anyone got to use him in commercials except Pepsi. I should've put this in my 1st post, but it was sung almost the same way as and tacked onto the end just like "like a good neighbor, state farm is there". Those ads may be subconsciously causing me to think of it.

I'm surprised those terrible Orea "wonder-filled" commercials haven't been mentioned here. They're just so incredibly twee and for some reason every voice sounds massively autotuned.

Seeing a female you're drawn to enough to say sup girl surpasses all that, it should feel natural and primal. Those are some bad actors under bad direction.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8IAkbWJNfY I loving despise this commercial, not because it's a commercial for an Apple product but because I spend the first 20 seconds expecting to hear Funkadelic but it turns out to be some talentless indie shitbag who's shamelessly plagiarizing Funkadelic.

I just kind of want to inquire more about this guy. Does he have friends? Does have a normal home life? Does he have hobbies? He comes off as someone who you wouldn't have a good time with. Like he wouldn't be the type you'd slam beers with at the bar, etc. I've seen this type of guy cast on TV shows being pitched to teen girls (Twilight, Teen Wolf, etc), and I kind of want to know some answers. Is this literally a male stereotype in this day and age? Of course I'm male so my understanding is rather confusing. Is there any goonnette that could explain this to me? Has anyone met guys like this? Sorry for asking questions but I keep seeing this stereotype pop up again and again in pop culture, and it's kind of driving me crazy.

He has no externalities or concerns and simply exists to do what you want and be gorgeous. He's completely blank other than looks and baseline "I care" attitudes because it allows you to project what you want onto him. Its something you'll see a lot more of in the future.

Nope. I guess the closest we get is this little number https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyWpC3144AU I wonder though, how much money do the pistachio people have to be able to afford all the recognizable celebrities and intellectual properties they also use for little 20 second ads? Because there's a shitton of them.

I really want to know how well this whole pistachios campaign is doing for them, I wonder if "throw a billion dollars at advertising a random product and people will buy it" works. Coincidentally I quite like pistachios I buy them from Costco for much less and the pistachios commercial people get no money

muscles like this? posted:I think the pistachio thing is because the company that runs them has a virtual monopoly on them. Yeah, to me it just seems like the kind of thing you don't really need to advertise. If you don't already like them, you're probably not going to run out and try them because of some stupid commercial. Same with the ads that are just for certain foods in general like pork or milk.

That's true, but both Coke and Pepsi have said that when they stop advertising in an area, their sales goes down.

I remember Levi Johnston being featured in one of those pistachio commercials shortly after he knocked up Bristol Palin. He had a security guard with him and its line was, "Now Levi Johnston does it with protection." It was kind of amusing because at that time, it was about the only legacy of Sarah Palin's political career.

I just saw a subway ad making fun of infomercials with a guy claiming that getting Sushi for lunch cost 29.99 . Not that's it high end or anything, but I've seen places selling it for it 7-8 bucks.Also, he was being all  about how a subway sandwich was better than a home made one. I guarantee I could make a better sandwich cheaper and of higher quality than anything subway could make.
