With as much as I’m seeing of Apolo Ohno – he better freaking win the gold.
The only reason I know the Olympics are right around the corner is because I’m seeing Apolo Ohno shilling every product on the face of the Earth. Every time I go to hit the “fast forward” button – I see his mug smirking and making me feel like I should buy something to support [...]
I dare you…
…to click here. (Kinda NSFW or kids).
Why I can’t be a golfer…
Over the last weekend, I watched a cumulative 36 hours of golf. I kinda like it, the strategy, the tension, the awesome fist pumps when a guy hits a BALL with a stick. Yeah, the irony isn’t lost on me… But, there are also awesome moments of… well, schadenfreude. Like when a golfer completely [...]
Creepy Advertising.
I’m a huge fan of the Pre. I think it’s a revolutionary device in a world of iPhones and BlackBerrys. It provides, for the first time, a true competitor in the smartphone market for a failing carrier. (Seriously, if Sprint can’t pull this off, Verizon will be swallowing them whole in 6 months.) I was [...]

Improv Where?
Improv EVERYwhere. These guys have some pretty good stunts.

When I was a kid, this commercial made me want an Oldsmobile.
They look like they’re having so much fun!
Are you kidding me?
I got your “Shake Weight” right here… (I feel, after viewing this commercial, you will allow me to get away with saying that) It starts off nice enough, presents a real problem…. But the solution…? Not so much.
Thanks Julie!
I don’t know who put this together…
But, for 1994, this is pretty awesome. I do hope that this ad agency gets bonus points in heaven for being able to put the script together, and filmed, and on-air.
I’m not sure who does the marketing for Abercombie & Fitch…
But I’m pretty sure they are either perverts, pedophiles or idiots. Those are your only 3 choices.
First of all – I don’t even remember when I started getting the emails. They all of a sudden started appearing in my inbox, and because I’m lazy, I’ve never gotten around to unsubscribing. [...]
Bad Commercials – #433
Seriously BK? WTF?! This just looks like a couple guys greasing each other up.
Does anyone hate this commercial more than me?
Because I reaaalllly hate it. I think it’s the screaming, but overall, it’s making me never want to buy Heineken again. If I buy Heineken right now, then it supports this commercial. I want to see them see a sharp decline in sales, and as a result, make a commercial that not [...]
Ok team, we need a product name.
We need something that says “Zyrtec” but promotes the Walgreen off-brand.
We need suggestions.
Wal-Zyr! Perfect! Greenlight!
Red Bull Gives You Wings – and A Boner!
In case you were wondering what the secret ingredient in Red Bull is, apparently it’s Viagra! I just saw a commercial that more than suggested that drinking Red Bull will give you an erection. No, seriously, I did. The commercial takes place at a nude beach and a woman gives a guy a Red Bull, [...]
Does Anyone Listen to Advertising?
It comprises 20% of any 60 minutes. We are bombarded by it day in and day out – but does anyone listen to it?
The way I look at it, by this time in my life, I’ve pretty much decided that Head and Shoulders is my shampoo+conditioner. That my Tide is my [...]
