That ad is forever linked to Christmas season along with the "He does exist" M&M Ad, Jingle bell Kiss ad, and formerly aired Flintstone ad.

The Subway way where the guy tries to sing about the reuben over that awesome mo-town song is annoying. The guys voice is annoying, his purposeful mistiming is annoying, and who would get a reuben from Subway is dumb to being with.

There's a new Delta ad that's come up on the Comcast app implying people who take early flights are the best people in the world.

A) this is insulting to someone who can't take a 5am flight
B) the words they're using implies that only people who take early flights are good
C) why the gently caress are you using the "hi-ho- it's time to work we go" song while someones pulling a bag at an airport followed by videos you showing happy families hanging out coincide? Yes the majority of 5am customers are probably business people but you really shouldn't be alienating anyone else. I take 5 am flights cause I don't like lines and like to be places early, and in the way they're saying it, it sounds like they are just ignoring those types of customers.
D)people who already take 5am flights have already been doing so
E)you're not going to convince someone to take a 5am flight with this garbage commercial.

And also this is during a "life in prison show." Very appropriate.

The point of the ad isn't to get people to take early morning flights it's to make the business people who do feel good and have positive associations with the airline.

I think you're reading too much into this one but haven't seen it in a little while.

SUCK A DICK, DUMBSHITS!

Yeah, you're not really going to sell anyone a flight with that ad, to do that you show cheap rear end prices to pretty beaches. That ad is to make the slaves to capitalism that are already stuck waking up at 2 am to catch a flight think "hmm maybe I will hate my life slightly less if I take Delta; they value me" as they cram themselves into a child-sized seat sealed into an ill-maintained flimsy aluminum tube filled with other people's recycled farts hurtling through the air at 500 miles per hour.

Yeah I think if one of your complaints is that the commercial isn’t going to convince you to take a 5am flight, then the commercial wasn’t for you. The point is to convince those that already fly at 5am to fly with Delta and not with another airline, because Delta thinks you’re awesome for flying at 5am Mr. Hardworking Business Traveller Man/Woman.

Rest assured that if you’re not a business traveler, any commercial like that isn’t for you. In fact, the only airline commercial that is for you is the Southwest “bags fly free” commercials. They’re trying to lure the leisure travelers that are probably on a budget. But Delta or whoever likely knows that most people don’t really give a poo poo and will just buy the cheapest fare. Business travel is their bread and butter.

One point for Delta in the “truth in advertising” area is that their claim that the distances between Seattle and Tokyo (4779 miles) and Seattle and London (4781 miles) being the same is actually pretty drat close.

It was part of a campaign about making Seattle their international hub.

There’s this ad for Microsoft 360 (PowerPoint, some3D thing)—it’s about seeing how amazing Microsoft is, using some company that makes pop-up cards ie birthday cards, and initially I was like, hey, Microsoft is pretty cool and innovating now. Then I noticed that they were using an Apple laptop with the logo covered over. Granted Microsoft itself doesn’t make computers, but hahahahahahaha.

E: I have to be vague but there’s a commercial for the company I work for that’s terrible and I know I could make a better, more public-influencing ad due to my art degree, but I have no way to contact the marketing department so the company is stuck with stupid garbage ads.
