I was thinking that the internal other-podcast ads on max fun were just about the worst production's possible and probably could use a consultant or something to tell everyone they're horrible but the audience for them are people who are unable to skip podcast ads so who knows what those mutants like.

I've definitely heard ads for other McElroy podcasts on Greatest Generation, I don't think I've ever heard a MBMBaM ad though.

I thought it was fun, but imagine being someone who's not already familiar with the McElroys and being convinced by those lines. Or imagine being a Travis hater and hearing the "roll for listeners" line. All MaxFun ads are bad unless you already listen to the show being advertised, are otherwise familiar with the hosts, or somehow fall into the incredibly narrow niche each show seems to be aiming for. The old Stop Podcasting Yourself ad where Dave says "Hi, we're from Canada. Wait, don't hang up!" was really endearing to me because I listen to the show and know how he and Graham joke. Was genuinely surprised to find out people in here did not like that ad at all.

All I need for an ad is "Hi I'm Clint McElroy. Hello." That's it.

I know "MaxFun ads are bad" is a popular thread topic but I think that simplifies down to "ads are bad". I'm equally sick of hearing about BetterHelp or stamps.com or the same "Electic Cars: They're Normal Now!" copy that seems like it was frozen in place from the year 2005

And like one of them ends with the “customer” or “focus group participant” being like “I’m uncomfortable, can I go now?” but they get old fast, and really overstay their welcome it might be more enjoyable/tolerable if they retired and replaced their ads with some degree of frequency instead of running them for years and occasionally splicing in extra audio

I usually don’t mind podcast ads but the minority korner ones were really bad. There was also a super annoying flop house ad that used to come on during old TAZ episodes I think that put me off of listening to that podcast for a long time, which I kind of regret

Like there will be months where he’s hilarious and hitting home run after home run, and then there will be some completely dire episodes where he almost makes you wonder how the podcast remains as popular as it is, like where he totally kills the energy with his gimmick. Has anybody here actually listened to Minority Korner? Is it a decent show betrayed by its own ads? I know it’s been rebooted and the hosts changed at least once. Did the quality/character of the show change?

I know that’s not why JJGo has the best ads, btw. Nobody needs to climb up my rear end Jordan+Jesse are legitimately funny people with almost two decades of radio and podcasting behind them

Stop Podcasting Yourself has the best ads that are actually kinda funny and not annoying. Still haven’t listened to the show but at least I’m not opposed to it.

Ads are one of the things that pay for podcasts. If you're not a donor, then skip the ads and don't be weird about it. If you are a donor, skip the ads and don't be weird about it.

I don’t think anybody’s being weird about it— they’re commenting on the quality of the ads, not about the fact that there are ads at all good ads that aren’t annoying encourage people to check out new podcasts and products while bad ads turn people off

Elliot's stupid songs on that old ad are the reason I gave The Flop House a chance. Their online fan base makes the McElory one look like pleasant, relaxed folks. They can and will tell you to kill yourself.

Let's just say the mod team there isn't above brigading their own members' personal pages and telling them to kill themselves, and leave it at that.
