Nobody really watches the Super Bowl for the game, it's often the most boring game of the season.

Rapey Joe Stalin posted:Yeah that's insane, I remember trying to watch the Super Bowl years ago and giving up because of the advert breaks. Whenever the game paused for US breaks we got a gormless pundit desperately trying to fill dead air. Same with the Oscars. I tend to watch the SB on whoever has the UK terrestrial broadcast (used to be BBC who weren't bad, now it's C4 who were a bit poo poo) and flick over to USTVNow to watch the adverts rather than further play analysis. When I watch season games on GamePass, if I can't watch live they cut the commercials out within a few hours and takes about an hour off.

The insidious part of advertising is that it works even if you hate it. No, you're not going to immediately go out and buy Twizzlers because Myka stops her investigation to talk about how much she likes Twizzlers on Warehouse 13. However, you are much more likely to notice the Twizzler endcap display in the supermarket after her little spiel. And, really, that's all it takes.

I've heard that "even if it's annoying it forms an association" nonsense so many times and it is bunk. Yes, it does form an association, but it isn't a good one for the company. It ensure that I will never buy that product.

Mu Zeta posted:She doesn't restrain any sexuality on The Fall. It's on Netflix. If that's the show I'm thinking of (set in Ireland?) then be warned before you check it out that it's a fair bit disappointing. It's no-where near garbage, it's well produced, acted and (in certain ways) well written. It just really, really exceeds it's grasp. That and it suffers from a weird problem I see in European shows, where they try too hard it comes off as really self-congratulating and pretentious. Like I said don't get me wrong, it's not bad but it's no-where near as good as it thinks it is. The best parts are the main lady giving speeches, which are usually great. Everything else though suffers from really bad decisions, though it might be a lot more forgivable if you're used to just watching American stuff.

I can't really argue with you without knowing more about your buying habits, but considering the number of trailers and presses releases you've posted in this thread alone, I'm calling bullshit.

What are the rats of companies doing in-house advertising vs farming it out to ad companies? Because at this point I'm convinced ad companies are just con-men swindling the companies that use them. I mean that's the only thing that makes sense to me at this point. 'Your product did well? Must have been our ad campaign!' 'Your product didn't sell? Must have been a lovely product! Because even bad advertisements form an association you see...' and so on.

zoux posted:I will say trailers are a different beast. I like trailers! Different ads work on different levels. Trailers are effective on you on a conscious level because you're interested in the information they're presenting (ie you're engaged). A Windex commercial is working on a more subconscious level, but make no mistake, its still working. zoux posted:Oh are you RPing a business expert this month? No, not RPing. You don't have to be a business expert to understand that no one is impervious to advertising. If you're being bombarded with messages 24/7, they're going to affect you whether you understand it or not.

Perhaps something you could read in, say, 30-45 seconds?

I tend to only notice products if I already own them. Like, every time I see a laptop or a car that's a brand I own(ed). Wait, maybe it's working! I can't really stand trailers in general, it seems like every year they keep ramping up "how much of the last 30 minute of the movie can we show you".

Sometimes I've got a commercial in my mind, and I can't remember what they're pitching. It's usually a car. Anyways, if a compelling study come out that TV advertising doesn't work, wouldn't that be super bad for TV?

I don't even know why certain companies bother to advertise. Everyone knows Coca-Cola exists, why do we need to see a coca-cola commercial? Why do we need to see any commercial for a product worth more than 30$, particularly cars, for which advertising is completely useless. Anyone who buys a car after seeing a commercial is a moron, unless it's a prius.

The point of a Coca-Cola commercial is to control the brand's image. They want you to associate Coke with good things--family, nostalgia, childhood, cute animals, etc--and not things like high fructose corn syrup, obesity and tooth decay.

DivisionPost posted:My DVR doesn't have that option; neither does Verizon's, last I checked. I can see it being a thing with TiVo or DirecTV, though. Verizon's DVR absolutely does it and always has (I've had one since pretty much the beginning.) I'm not sure what the buttons are on the regular remote (I think they look like tiny little curvy arrows), but there is an (adjustable even) skip forward and skip backward functionality.

Do a ton of people record stuff and then *not* fast forward through the ads when they watch the show? I do, sometimes. I'm doing a budget for someone right now and I have a DVR'ed episode of the Daily Show on in the background right now. I read your comment and realized I had just missed skipping a commercial break.
