Mister Kingdom posted:That new ebay ad where everybody is making fun of the guy who can't find his pen makes me wish he had a pen and jammed it in their eyeballs. I agree. Apparently now the best way to sell a website is to insult people for not owning an iPad. Thanks eBay! Jerks.

Che Delilas posted:You realize that this is 2011 and that doesn't narrow it down at all, right? The only way eBay can redeem themselves for this commercial is if they play the exact same commercial, but at the end a wrecking ball destroys the room and kills everyone inside. That would make me so, so happy.

Sporadic posted:Want this I saw this today and thought it was absolutely loving terrible. The worst thing about all of the 'DON'T STEAL MOVIES' commercials that have popped up in the past ten years is that all of us who haven't ever stolen a movie still have to sit through this schlock. If Hollywood wants to blame anyone for their lovely profits, they only have themselves to blame. I've barely been in a theater in the past 5 years because every movie coming out is absolutely terrible.

I'm not going crazy, right? Tim Allen really has been shilling out commercials left and right for companies like Campbell's Soup and Chevy, right? I can't turn on the friggin' TV without hearing his voice these days.

I've never even heard of Nandos before, but that is possibly the greatest commercial ever. Well done.

Comedy Central has been airing an advertisement every commercial break for some stand-up show going on tonight. Something about how foreigners always talk like they're about to take a poo poo. It's not funny, and it's really loving uncomfortable to have the TV on Comedy Central when you're with family and that poo poo comes up. This is after they kept playing that god-awful Mencia commercial last week, where he says "Obama looks like Curious George." Do they purposely find the least funny gags to advertise? Christ, if I didn't love Daily Show/Colbert/South Park, I'd never watch Comedy Central again.

 : SOMEBODY LEFT THE GATE OPEEEEN!New Citibank card with the mountain-climbing woman. I don't know whether to love or hate the commercial. I always perk my head up when I hear the song, but it also kind of pisses me off because it pulls my attention out of whatever I was doing before.

ProfessorGroove posted:The commercials don't really get on my nerves but I find these new ones selling .xxx domains to be extremely bizarre, particuarly how they're on during prime time pretty often. There was one that was at least a minute and a half long when I was watching the 6 o'clock 30 rock on comedy central the other day. Are there really that many people who run porn sites out there? Is porn becoming this mainstream? I'm not a prude or anything but they just seem very out of place to me. I've noticed this too, and I also think it's really strange. Not the whole XXX thing; I don't give a poo poo about that. The commercial itself is also pretty funny. No, my problem with it is the prime time slot. Why not wait until atleast midnight to start advertising?  It's just kind of tasteless to see endless commercials for Trojan and .XXX domains on Comedy Central at all hours of the day.

Mother loving Everest commercials. I swear they've been on TV atleast three years now, but it sure feels like thirty. They have to know that talking down to the audience is a bad habit. All you gotta do is watch the video. Why you makin' it complicated? It's easy!

DarklyDreaming posted:Is it just me or does the new batch of Above The Influence commercials borrow heavily from the "It Gets Better" campaign? I thought this too. I understand the point behind the commercials, but "tasteless" is really the right wording for it. Comparing non-smokers to gays... really?

I think advertisements for the General Insurance are so incredibly bad that they're hilarious. It's fun to see such great early 90's computer animators getting work in 2012. Also why the heck is he keeping that penguin around? Who knows, it adds to the allure.

I don't want to believe Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter takes itself seriously, but all of the commercials and the R rating really make myself scared. I'm not sure I could even enjoy such a stupid premise if it were a joke. I might need to look up some more information on this crap so I can perfectly articulate how stupid I think it is. It's like a fake movie.

DrBouvenstein posted:Speaking of 'Alternate History" style movies, what's the deal with that one with FDR in a steampunk (well...I guess dieselpunk) wheelchair fighting Nazis? I saw a trailer for it, but I was never sure if it was a fake trailer or not. See, now, that's loving hilarious by comparison. I'm not sure if I could sit through the whole film alone, but atleast it looks like a really good film that doesn't take itself seriously, like something by RedLetterMedia. "gently caress polio," indeed.

Rhyno posted:I think she's awesome. So I guess we're mortal enemies now. She's definitely my favorite when it comes to current fast food restaurant faces. Dairy Queen's been too busy trying to steal some of the Old Spice demographic (badly) and also retired their weird Mouth-based commercials. McDonald's hasn't used their children's characters in ages. The King is now dead. Arby's... Christ, don't get me started. I'd take the Oven Mitt over the "Good Mood Food" crap. But to be fair, I have a thing for redheads, and she is really pretty.

Those 'Don't Text And Drive' commercials are almost as obnoxious as the anti-smoking campaign commercials with people using vocal emitters and poo poo, coming from someone who doesn't text and drive or smoke. gently caress I wish I could opt out of seeing those commercials.

SubponticatePoster posted:Imagine the TV of the future when custom content is delivered directly to the chip in your brain. For people who aren't idiots, your PSAs are things about upcoming city council meetings and possible ballot inclusion of the latest initiatives, for morons it's a constant barrage of "Don't text and drive!" "Being fat is bad for you!" "Stop using the hair dryer in the tub you loving dipshit!" Haha, I love you. DJExile posted:They're not effective, everyone on the drat planet knows smoking is bad for you. They're going for shock value at best, and at worst they're throwaway ads financed by the tobacco companies themselves because politicians like to think they're somehow doing good, following that dumbfuck "if it saves just one life..." mentality while happily taking billions upon billions of tax money from tobacco sales. This is my stance on it. They're unnecessary advertisements. The ones that actually care about what tar inhalation can do to the body already don't smoke. Perhaps I'm wrong and there are a few outliers that have quit smoking after viewing these ads, but I'm not optimistic. Smokers won't quit smoking after seeing those things because they'll just go, "WELL, THAT WON'T HAPPEN TO ME!" and then throw a table and be on their way. Shock value just spites people rather than give them incentive to quit. But I do agree that, while annoying as hell, the "texting while driving" commercials do raise awareness to some degree. I go nuts when I see people texting and driving because it's so drat unsafe.
