yea that's what makes it so funny.


i also like the washington mutual commercial where they market their "honesty" and show that guy making an ass of himself in all these different scenes. like the one where he walks into an office meeting and he's like, "hey guys, sorry i'm late...i had a job interview".

hahaha

thats a good one but most of the commercials are just garbage. i like the miller lite commercial where the guy is like "this is a travesty, sham, and a mockery...its a traveshamockery"

Cry me a river.

Figure out what to do, then take a nap.

All these women's hair/makeup adverts, they're so stupid and generic - they all follow the same formula. Some ok-looking (preferably famous) woman posing with bad-looking hair/skin/whatever, some fancy graphics with some bullshit statistics being read out. Like that "30 degree curl" eyelash thing, wtf? how can a curved shape be measured in degrees? or 'your hair will have 55% more volume' - what exactly is volume anyway and how is it measured - and maybe some fancy, half made-up words ('volumising?'). So what do these statistics and words mean? Well, nothing. The point is that they're hoping the intended audience are impressed by the use of fancy words and scientific sounding statistics, regardless of what they really mean.

Then they'll have the woman with over-exaggeratedly better looking hair/skin/whatever, looking much happier and maybe having a laugh with their friends or pulling some guy at a club. The worst ones are the Lorael 'Because you're worth it' slogan that make me cringe every time I hear them say it...

So yeah, these adverts are annoying.

Originally posted by Spad Yeah Americans We get "I'm lovin it" too. And one of those ads definetly rips of Daft Punk. Unless they paid them to do their own "I'm lovin it" remix. Which wouldn't surprise me

The "I'm lovin it" comercials are based on a Justin Timberlake track that was never released. Its still crap though.

Advertising has been getting steadily worse for over a decade, and it wasn't very good to begin with. I guess that's what you get when you pay a bunch of people too stupid to learn a useful occupation to create your advertisements.

"Bring home toilet paper!"

Bring back some of the creative commercials (alla the old Volkswagon commercial where a cart goes to the car and the guy runs and tackles it).

Just like you have shit movies & music, etc, you'll have the down of commercials. Unfortunate but true. There are some really damn good commercials out there, unfortunatly none are for the major companies which we see so often. Mcdonalds & etc should start to take note.
