I didn't watch TV for a long time, and since I got an antennae and started watching this and that again, I find I am fascinated by commercials. I mostly love them! BUT! I must stress I am not selling anything nor recommending anything nor promoting anything, etc. I am just interested in commercials. I also like to think I am not overly swayed by ads, since I'm weird, but.... Like, the Progressive Commercial Cinematic Universe, with Flo and the Gang. Or the Geico Gecko. Or the Geico Caveman in a Gecko commercial. Or Liberty Mutual's lame attempts to enter this creative space with Doug and the Emu. Why are the insurance commercials so entertaining? The Jesus washes feet commercial came on. It's rather ludicrous. I get the sentiment, but who's going out of their way to wash someone's feet during a riot?? What do you love? What do you hate? And what interesting techniques do you note? Like from a psychological perspective, or a filming technique.

I watch a lot of Comet TV M-F in the background and at first I was like "Man, all these ads are aimed at old people" and then I realized, "Oh yeah". Medicare Part C providers, Life Insurance, Gold, Ducalax, walk in tubs, etc. OLD!

I hate the perfume ads where it's like Natalie Portman being beautiful and stylish in LA in a convertible surrounded by flowers. I don't only not know what the perfume is supposed to smell like, but it's clearly not for me and I'm resentful that they think that's what I, as a woman, can relate to. I'm so far removed from that conceptually she may as well be an alien selling me zipzop sauce.

The animation in the Erin eSurance commercials was fun and cool, and a lot of people were weird about wanting to gently caress the cartoon character I miss those commercials because I thought they were neat

I like that car repair insurance commercial where Ice-T yells shut up at the guy. It's funny every time. I hate all the commercials talking about buttcracks, balls, toe fungus, and gut. Sick of hearing about gross poo poo. Back in the old days they just hinted around about what the product did for your gross body dysfunctions.

Zero others will understand this. I grew up blocks away from this place and saw this and their other commercials on local TV during my entire childhood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLpZWV8owdE And everyone else who grew up in the midwest knows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sweH1131Vw0

Waltzing Along posted:I like that poop commercial where they sing diarrhea. I forget what it was for, I just remember the diarrhea part. I don't know why but this reminds me of something when I was a kid and Queens' Bohemian Rhapsody was still widely played on the radio. We changed 'Mama Mia!' to 'Diarrhea!' as in: "Diarrhea! Diarrhea! Do it in the bin when your mother isn't in, Diarrhea!" There was more to it but I can't remember. This was in the early 90's in rural Ireland so what we came up with as kids is probably lost to mists of time. I tried looking for the lyrics online but all I can find is this and I don't think it's the same thing we came up with as kids. http://www.amiright.com/parody/80s/queen54.shtml

I liked the Joe Isuzu ads where he just made the most extravagant lies while the subtitles mocked him. "This car will go three-hundred miles an hour!" *Yeah, downhill in a hurricane*

Quiznos was killing it in the early 2k's. Something about the look of spongmonkeys was hilarious to me and whoever was in charge of that campaign was ahead of their time in getting the rights to use a stupid internet thing. After that they had the commercial about the pizza oven that liked to gently caress and that was pretty good too.

I came to know this nerdy girl in high school because of a science project and turns out her dad was like the local "Jingle King". Like the guy who did all kinds of local ads. Which was cool to take a peak behind the scenes of the local Jingle King.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is3icfcbmbs Toyota's low effort attempts to establish their own "Flo" like persona were pretty sad. I haven't had cable for a few years - Are they still trying to force that into being a thing? Last month a commercial started to pop up on Youtube that was like 3 minutes long featuring a young kid being invited to an Asian neighbor's lunar new year celebration dinner. Fast forward like a decade and the now grown kid leaves a little box of egg rolls at the Asian neighbor's door. It was a commercial for loving Panda Express. It was utterly surreal and if it were reality I can't help but think that family would take it as an insult or threat. "Here's an absolute garbage tier fast food approximation of your culture's cuisine! Enjoy!"
