Have we talked about the Perfect Bacon Bowl? Cuz it's "baconrific." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kjujVnwZEs I don't really hate the commercial, I just get a weird feeling like I'm watching an Onion or SNL parody when it's on. "That's buy perfect B-A-C-O-N dot com!"

RMZXAnarchy posted:Wait, the only difference between the "Perfect" Bacon Bowl and the other one is the name, and to be fair it sounds far more forced when the narrator says "Perfect Bacon Bowl" every loving time she mentions the product. Going by the youtube dates it appears they added "perfect" to the name about a month ago. I imagine if sales go up they'll continue to add adjectives until we have the "Amazing Perfect Stupendous Life-Enhancing Meaning-Granting All-Fulfilling Everlasting Sustenance Bowl and Eternal Companion, with Bacon." Cr-r-runch.

Rahonavis posted:I would like to ring in the new year by nominating this as-seen-on-TV thing as worse than even the bacon bowls (they're both going to end in tears, but with the bacon bowls you are only harming people who are fully aware that they are eating stuff out of a bowl made of bacon and willingly doing so). Every single thing about this is upsetting. I have no idea if the same company made it but my family got one of those birdhouses when I was a kid. It worked I suppose; I mean it stayed attached and some birds did indeed build a nest in it. The problem was that the birds stuffed the drat thing so full of nesting that you couldn't see them in there at all. I guess they didn't like being watched. Maybe the privacy screen would have helped, since it wasn't included back then but honestly I doubt it would've made a difference. With a bunch of people peeking at the nest several times a day the birds probably would've done the same thing. You know what, I might've lucked out. Baby birds are kinda horrific looking and usually don't all survive. Next visit I oughta ask my parents how gross the inside of the birdhouse was when they finally took it down...

Grin and Tonic posted:Those bears' obsession with toilet paper is getting out of hand imo I'm borderline obsessive about those drat bears, they're such a fascinating example of how far removed an ad campaign can become from its roots. It started out as a joke on bears doing what they're known for doing in the woods. Nothing too complicated but it was amusing and memorable enough. Then one by one they kept adding weird new elements until you end up with talking, house-dwelling bears who do laundry despite not wearing clothes (and somehow get skidmarks in their non-worn underwear) and who apparently change color depending on what they're wiping with that day. These bears beat out most kids' cereal mascots for their convoluted evolution.  "Sweet Mother of Softness..."

Meltathon posted:Too bad that song is so terrible. As I recall, all of the commercials in that series had pop songs translated literally so they didn't scan at all. They just jammed the syllables in no matter how badly they fit, and I'm pretty sure

Timby posted:This seems to come up during every commercial break on every channel, and it fills me with inexplicable rage: "Tris-KWEEEE...." How much do you wanna bet this character will be spun into a long running series like Glade's "Glah-DAY" lady? Vicas posted:This month's 5 Dollar FootlongŪ is a bacon grease-soaked pile of lettuce and week old avocados, topped with breaded chicken, ranch, and your own salty tears Not likely. It'll be $6.50 cuz they charge a whole buck fitty for avocado on a footlong, the fuckers.

trunkwontopen posted:Content: The concept that a person would root for one drug company over another like an obsessive sports fan is beautifully dark though. I have seen the future; instead of cheering for people wearing corporate logos we'll skip the middleman and just cheer for the corporations.

DerekSmartymans posted:Goddamn I hate that bastard. Maybe if you weren't a fatty you would not have to take a statin. Why don't you slink away and jerk one to our ad in Golf magazine? And take the sweater off your drat dog: He would rather eat cat feces than Crestor. As he lovingly dusts his bobblehead of himself, the philosophical quandary surfaces in his mind whether tis better to be a happy pig or an unhappy Socrates. Oink, he giggles.

That drat Satyr posted:The Viagra commercials on Hulu are creepy and make me feel deeply uncomfortable. The ones where the world is nearly monochrome, washed-out in a nauseous blue-teal-gray color. I'd understand if it was for a "before" scenario with a happier color for "after" Viagra, but instead it appears that life with Viagra is a world of sheer depression. I don't care what goofy horse-pulling-my-truck kinda shenanigans are happening on screen, that color makes it look like the end of days.

FELD1 posted:I was watching the Disney channel the other day, and a lot of those toy commercials are using "epic" a bunch. That word got driven into the ground when I was a junior in high school, like 6 years ago. It's infuriating to hear it used like that again. Epic's kinda going the way of awesome, where its original meaning gets dailed way down in magnitude until it merely means, "Oh, that's cool."

Parasol Prophet posted:I don't know when this happened, or if it's been posted yet, but I really don't like what they did to the Carfax fox. I didn't notice, too busy laughing at the magic computer that's voice activated but demands you high-five its holograms. Just imagining the director saying, "Look happy as you slap that air."  But now that you mention it, yeesh that's a terrifying little thing.

 Sometimes I do it by myself. And I watch.Carpet cleaning, what did you think we were talking about, duh! I thought that was pretty dumb, but looking online it seems Rug Doctor has a whole series of innuendo-based commercials right now. We do it once a year. Whether we like it or not.

Vicas posted:But really pretty much all of Taco Bell's ad campaigns confuse me and I still eat there, so shrug I manage to skip a lot of commercials via DVR these days, but does Taco Bell still do terrible edits of their ads? The first week of a new ad you'll see the thirty second version which may be dumb but at least makes sense. After that you get the half-length edit which makes no sense unless you saw the full version.

Selachian posted:I can tolerate most drug commercials, but the Jublia ads are just too dumb to live. What ad agency genius said, "I know! Let's have animated, fungus-infested toes playing sports!" Totally true, but I'll take a boxing toe over Digger the Dermatophyte anyday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3h1O7-r7Wrw Way back when those ads were still running Lamisil paid someone to wear a Digger mascot costume at a local health fair. Get your picture taken with the nail fungus! Unsurprisingly there weren't a lot of takers; children weren't too keen on going near the costume. My mom took a picture out of sympathy.

Parachute posted:Caught this the other night and actually had to rewatch it. Are these PSAs legally required to name chemicals that mean nothing to a kid? Aside from that it's better than the usual scare tactics I guess. It's almost like that part's there just to put you to sleep and enhance the "wait, what" later.
