twistedmentat posted:I am still infuriated when ever I see a ad for a pickup truck. They still maintain the fiction that these are real trucks for real men with real jobs and show them towing giant stone blocks, or carrying the engine for a battleship. I remember hearing once that something like 35-40% of all pickups built go into fleet service. Enough that it makes white the most common color for pickups, but regular people rarely buy white trucks.

I remember when A&E used to show ballet and opera performances, something that actually relates to the term "arts & entertainment." Now, it's 14 hours of C.S.I. Miami, 6 hours of stupid reality poo poo like this, and four hours of infomercials for dick enlarging pills. So close to canceling my cable for good... DJExile posted:Every ad is going to exaggerate claims though. It's really not any different from showing a hybrid driving a crazy amount of miles or a sports model doing figure-8s in the Salt Flats even though nobody's ever going to do that. I always find it funny that commercial trucks drive through the muddiest bogs, acres of pig poo poo, hurricane force rain and rail, icy tundras and dusty backwater dirt roads, yet always arrive at its destination waxed and shiny as a dealership floor model. Even the commercials that try to show a little filth only end up putting a tiny bit of mud on the fenders, like the truck drove through a very small watery puddle once. It's like that commercial where the couple are trying to find their Jeep (?) in a vast canyon by clicking the alarm, only to have the sound echo everywhere. There it sits behind a big outcropping, as clean as if it's just had a major wash, wax and detail with q-tips and toothbrushes. Yeah, yeah, if I were a manufacturer of something, I'd want it to look clean and new rather than filthy and unappealing, too, but at least give me a little realism eveery now and again, please. Some folks actually use and abuse their trucks and/or 4-wheel drives.

True, but at the same time, do they make the ad about the Prius showing it as a rally car or drag racing? The majority of Pickups are not bought by ranchers who need to manually plant fence posts. I know advertising on a fantasy is pretty much par for the course, but it just infuriates me because its not like a beer add which has the fantasy of "drink this, gently caress women" but the fantasy of "you're not a real man unless you drive a giant truck, because giant trucks are what real men drive!". I'd love to see an hybrid ad done in the style of truck ads. Having a Prius bring driven by big many men who bare handed catch wild horses or pull tanks out of the mud.

Although for realism it should be a lesbian I love driving out on i-80 through the salt flats and you can see all the places where the dumb shits drove out in their big trucks and got stuck.

What bothers me most about that commercial is the part where they show Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake, presumably having just finished doing it, and they both fall back on the bed exhaling heavily. How is this possible? Who was on top??? (and yes I'm aware this is extremely )

"Just a classy guy with a ... classy voice" Harking back to the lovely hhgregg commercials with the Help cover, there's one that's been playing lately with a woman getting frustrated by her washing machine - granted, she's trying to close the lid when she has obviously overloaded it with clothes (as in they're spilling out the top) and pours detergent into the little measuring cap until it overflows all over her hand, and she throws up her arms in annoyance. I don't think that buying a new washing machine will help those problems, lady.

Buck admitted he isn't really wild about calling MLB games these days and is pretty much only doing it for a paycheck. He's boring to listen to at best and annoying at worst. Same for his NFL play-by-play. E: Also for better or worse, he's always going to be compared to his father Jack Buck who was a fantastic announcer.

Wendy's, how do I hate thee: let me count the ways. First of all, the very idea that anyone would ever have a webcam conversation with a fictional character created for the exclusive purpose of selling fast food is frankly disgusting. Secondly, the idea that said webcam conversation would be broadcast on national television thousands of times per day is also disgusting. Thirdly, the idea that you just cook up these hilarious situations in response to the fake situations concoted by fake people in conversation with a fake character and expect us to think anything but "oh my god Wendy's is loving populated by retards and their marketing department is worse", is so terrible I can't even finish this run-on sentence. I know those commercials are not supposed to be taken seriously. It's all just so goddamn offensive to every part of the intellect I don't care how it is. gently caress you, Wendy's. I hope a rhino shits E.coli into your frosty supply.

I've been seeing a lot of AT&T's commercial with the dumb father again lately. It's the one where he's told the new AT&T internet has an invisible cord and when he asks for it at the end of the spot, he's told he's always had an invisible cord.

this ad might be worse than that Victoria's Secret ad from a few years ago that had a limerick that rhymed air with air. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFYryDW9f_4 It's the Geico commercial that says "does it take two to tango?" and then completely misunderstands the point of the adage by showing three people trying to tango. The whole point of the saying is that there are some things you cannot do on your own. So the ad should be showing one person trying to tango.
