Bwahahaha, now THAT was funny.


I think that one of my favorite commercials of all time are the Red Stripe commercials.
"Hooray beer!"

I get annoyed at about 75% of the commercials on tv. Its sad to see that most companies think we are brainless idiots that will buy their products.

Oh yeah your car really magically comes together in a desert?! damn I think I'll buy that!! Oh your deodorant will make every girl fall in love with me?! damn I think I'll buy that!! Oh your beer is the best tasting beer, even though everyone and their mother knows your beer tastes like water, but u just keep telling me its sooo good... damn i think i'll go get a keg now!!!

- I give my rant a 3/10

But if most people really weren't brainless idiots, they wouldn't buy the products, and the advertising would start to get less irritating, and actually make valid arguments as to why Product A is better than Product B. Then the companies would really need to stay on their toes to make products that don't suck.

But right now, most companies think that a majority of their advertisees are brainless idiots, because based on sales, it's apparently true.

I liked a recent study I read about, on how packaging affects children. In the study group, various food items like carrots and french fries were placed in plain paper wrapping, and also in McDonald's wrapping. The McDonald's-wrapped food, despite being identical to the plain-wrapped stuff, was perceived to have a better taste by a large majority of the kids participating. Advertising works, and it does so starting at a very young age.

So, are your kids not eating vegetables? Good news, kids! McDonalds now has McCarrots and Happy Peas! Ooo, pretty wrapping! And they taste better than those other (display this part in black and white, with frowning people staring at their plates) bland old style vegetables.
They probably will be so thrilled to be eating McDonalds vegetables that they won't know they're being duped.

It works on kids, and if it didn't work on adults, companies would stop spending thousands upon thousands of dollars figuring out new ways of wrestling more money out of brainless idiots.

I go to a college in a small television market (with Charter) and previously lived in a major market (with Time Warner), so I know the difference in quality. The small market commercials are horrible, especially the ones made by the local cable company. Of course, I loath all almost all cable company commercials in general as the actors wayyyyy overact. They are the type who seem to be fresh from acting college and think that playing the role of middle aged overweight guy is going to give them the big break they need. Of course, I don't know how a middle aged guy is fresh from acting college, except that his previous career was a failure and thought it would be a good time to accomplish his life long dream of being an actor. When these type of commercials come on, I long for the "Head On" type commercials that I can tune out.

For the record, a friend of mine, who is a drama major, was in one of the local commercials for a fake college for high school drop outs.

3. JG Wentworth.......I swear, could that old fart say "CASH NOW!!" any more times in that commercial?? Why didn't they just have him stand there for 30 seconds, saying just that?? isgust;

2. ANY commercial for Geico. 'Nuff said! :frown:

1. Local commercials that feature the company owner's kid(s). There's a local company here, called Cells-U-More, who's been using his kid in his ads for at least 7-8 years now. At the end of the commercials, they'd always have this kid screeching, "Come see us at Cells-U-More!!!" ......to the point where, if I'd seen that kid on the streets, I probably would've had to hold myself back from wanting to punch him in the face!! Thank god they finally stopped that tag line at the end of their commercials, but they still have the little butthead in the ads.
Cells-U-More
He's the twerp on the left, in the tuxedo. :roll:
