Tim Gunn has always been a whore for anyone who will pay him ever since he became known to people beyond Project Runway watchers. The difference is he used to just have a bit better taste and only shill for cosmetic/fabric stuff.

Yea the only people calling it 'shady' are the dudes who don't want to put in something that will keep their workers from losing half a hand.

DrBouvenstein posted:You want odd? Come to Vermont. You'd think one of the hippy-est, greenest states in the nation would be all for wind power...nope. This has been one of the most insane things, I'm in Texas and we kinda get the wind stuff but obviously they get massively outspent by oil here. Still whenever it comes up you can always be sure for at least one ad of 'these turbines are going to DESTROY the natural beauty and for what...affordable clean energy in a state entirely powered by a finite resource that spews pollutants? I think you know the right choice.'

constantIllusion posted:I just saw a Christmas commercial for Target. Halloween isn't for another two weeks! Got an email from Yankee Candle telling me to buy my Christmas scented candles before it's too late. A) Alright that's the most first world problem ever to have, B) It's fuckin October, it's not gonna be too late to have a candle.

Has anyone mentioned Gamefly's ads being utterly insufferable? "RESELLING THINGS GIVES ME LESS MONEY THAN WHAT I PAID ON DAY ONE NEW?! gently caress YOUR SCAM, MAN!"

I can't make a profit buying a game full price, then coming back to the same store to sell it back? WHAT IS THIS poo poo?! *builds an elaborate death house, traps clerk and all he holds dear within its walls* Seriously I like Gamefly and all but that's basically the dumbest way to say 'hey we're a convenient service'.

REWIND AND LET'S SEE IT FIVE MORE TIMES!' Now imagine they occasionally tease you with awesome guests, making you hope for at least a glimmer of fun, but only to find that the guests get like two lines to say while the douchebag host carries on.

pepperoniroller posted:There's a certain amount of personal responsibility when it comes to diet. I have nothing against a company like taco bell trying to make money through advertising. It always strikes me as funny when people complain about it There's a difference between, say White Castle's 'hey you can get a box of our lovely food, if you want, you should!' and Taco Bell's 'veggies? gently caress THAT NOISE HERE'S A BOX OF TACOS!' Like, it's not the worst thing ever but it's a kinda gross ad campaign to sell junk in bulk.

Speaking of Pizza Hut why are they advertising what can only be called a food trough full of two pizzas and wings and breadsticks? Like, they know it looks like a loving pig trough right?

Rirse posted:Speaking of little kids whispering, the ad for Mama is really annoying with 3/4 of it just the little girl repeating in whispers "Mama". Yea, I'm pretty amped because I like Guillermo Del Toro, and it looks like a good little spooky movie, but drat that ad is annoying and gets played every other break.

Gaunab posted:I saw a slightly shorter version of this commercial last night on adult swim. I thought they made it at first I know this is old but I literally just saw this ad for the first time and oh my god this is like every bad "HEY KIDS SMOKING IS WHACK" presentation you were forced to watch in school. Also is beard man the guy who makes Epic Meal Time because the idea of someone who's livelihood is devouring bacon woven fast food Frankenstein creations lecturing about health is adorable.

CapnAndy posted:What kills me is that the start of the ad is really, really good. Like, just show the girls on the bus playing Tinder, and they see the cute guy with the kitten, and then "...oh, wait, is that a cigarette? Hahahaha no" and they swipe left and then keep on going and the ad fades out? That's a really effective ad. This Is A Dealbreaker And Cute Girls Will Laugh At You would work. Yea just that bit is a good ad. Hey people tend to not like smokers in relationships, if you smoke some cute girl may be all 'nah I'm not gonna gently caress a dude that reeks like smoke' and that'd suck right?' Probably not that effective but it's not like Beard Man Who Eats Bacon For A Living Yelling LEFT SWIPE THAT is effective either.

Is there any ad worse than the 'we can be the generation who stops smoking' ads that feature just like a minute of 'club music' and dumb 'did you know an hour of hookah smoking is like ONE HUNDRED CIGARETTES?!' text flashing. These are the same dudes who did the 'left swipe that' stupid rap thing, right? Is it seriously just a board of a bunch of 70 year old white dudes trying to appeal to the kids these days?

That70sHeidi posted:What is up with those grimdark Hobby Lobby ads?! They remind me of when I accidentally watched a Nordic film on Netflix because they erroneously labeled it as "horror," and I'm waiting for what obviously must be massive murder and death in such a bleak location but no no, it's just a movie about sheep. Hobby Lobby literally got busted smuggling Iraqi artifacts as part of some crazy christian cult movement so maybe it's a summoning spell
