OT: Favorite/Least Favorite Ad Campaigns
The Tide schtick during the superbowl this year was awesome.
Edit: Love the All State Mayhem campaign too.
I can feel my wife rolling her eyes every time it comes on, because she knows I'm going to comment on how dumb it is.
And she looks like Barb from Stranger Things which makes it even worse.
You try and make a company called "AFLAC" stand out.
They did a great job. We all know what it is now. We didn't before that ad campaign.
was Pavel Datsyuk on the Rahmani Eye Institute commercials. Unintentionally funny.
The guy who hits his head repeatedly and laughs about it is the best.
Love those ads too!
Awful. Just awful. Although the more recent ones with the guy who doesn't recognize the other guy are pretty funny.
One of my favorite ads of all time was the Dollar Shave Club launch campaign with the CEO or whatever walking through the warehouse.
Worst: Domino's "Avoid the Noid" campaign. Beyond annoying and bothersome to watch.
Best: Apple's "1984" Super Bowl ad. If you've never seen it take a second watch this in its entirety. I still remember my jaw hitting the ground watching it live when it first aired
well FINE then.
Fun (?) fact: the "Avoid the Noid" campaign drove a mentally ill man named Kenneth Noid, who felt the campaign was targeted at him, to take a Domino's hostage in Atlanta in the 80s: LINK
Helps when you do the smart thing and hire Ridley Scott to direct your Super Bowl commercial.
I think it is now socially acceptable to date yourself.
Not so much the ad contents, but more the hellish little jingle they play every time.
You know the one.
I really hate any ad that depicts someone feeling superior to their friends or neighbors because of what they own.
Not since "The heartbeat of America, today's Chevrolet" has GM entertained. It is as if the Buick team never heard of the catastophe of "It's not you father's Oldsmobile."
So what the hell is it if it isn't your father's Oldsmobile? If it doesn't look like a Buick then what the hell is it?
So you hate ads then?
And I hate that Buick one where the rich hipster neighbor douche has fucking binoculars checking out his neighbor's buick. Fuck that guy.
And the old lady who's looking at a car with a GIANT Buick logo on it and asks if it's a Buick...
Ugh.
and I haven't ( like right now). Makes me feel like the house sticking out for not being maintained. As soon as I cut my grass and its shorter just due to the timing of when I cut, I always feel smug, like hey, maybe you all should clean up around here.
Read something somewhere that adult peer pressure is having to cut your grass, and that hit me like a ton of bricks. Sorry, tangent was in response to feeling superior to neighbors.
Favorite add campaign is the Pure Michigan adds with Tim Allen. The song, the voice pace, it just makes me feel good when I hear it and think, gosh this state has a lot of great places. Like a feel good boost.
Also, the Terry Crews Office Linebacker still holds up.
...still make Buicks?!
I like 'em big... burgers, of course
Worst: Flo and Progressive. I really hate seeing that bitch. Leave us alone lady!
eTrade baby is the best
"That doesn't look like a Buick" is the worst
"You moved your ball!"
"It was on the cart path... Trying reading a rule book shankapotomus"
I don't like commercials with people dancing.
