Charmin bears are like the Carfax fox where it has gone so far from the original ad that the character is meaningless.

The Geico gecko originally was asking us to stop calling him because people were confusing "geico" with "gecko" and now he's just a full on salesman and insurance enthusiast. He also had a way deeper more genteel voice / accent at first

Really upping the ante on faux emotional bullshit commercials this year; the one with the old ladies buying sleds and butt pads at the only place they could possibly find those: Amazon plays at least once every commercial break on every channel I watch. Then there's the one for Ford or something with the grandma with Alzheimer's getting driven around the only way they possibly could be: in a Ford. As someone who has had family go through it this one feels particularly manipulative to me. It's clearly working though because I saw my mom repost it on Facebook while talking about how many memories it brings to light and like thousands of other people also reposting this car commercial.

Anybody know who the original voice of the gecko was then while we’re on the subject?

Getting real tired of these old white men yelling about this "one weird trick that CVS and Walgreens hate" where you can sign up for this service to get 100mg of generic Viagra for $1 a pill instead of paying $400 for nine of them from Walgreens or CVS. What world are these old men living in where their medical insurance won't cover their boner pills? I do love how they mention each pill comes in individual wrapping so you can keep it in your wallet

If it's the one where the lady gets the camera, that's for Toyota.

Recent Rocket Mortgage commercials. The rapid-fire way they talk seems to be trying to capture the 'Youtube video' dynamic and it's really obnoxious.

I was watching some Football the other day, and an honest-to-God Scientology ad with loving possible murderer David Miscavige himself appearing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHB4jfB1PuU I know they had a SuperBowl commercial last year, but it was in that vein of other quasi-religious ads: "vague imagery, voice over saying life seems hard, but we're here for you" an crap like that. You only saw it was for Scientology at the very end with a URL on screen. This one is just FRONT and CENTER with fly-bys of Scientology Centers and loving POS himself shilling for it. I'm surprised they were able to get him off the international waters boat he lives on. I guess technically its' for the Scientology Network but still.

There's a plucky commercial background song used in two different commercials right now (SoFi and Rice Krispie Treats I think?) and a third that I don't see anymore (one of those paper towel commercials with the people going NOOOO) that must have been on discount a while ago or something.

A whole lot of commercials do this lately. But I hate when you're watching sports and they do a commercial where they basically make fun of the concept of being a fan. Like I feel like the message is, "Hey sportsball liker!!! Lmao you're loving stupid. Bet you paint your face, dumbfuck. How about this insurance!!!!????" My mans who do you think is watching this? It's especially bad when there's something like Fansville that has fun with the concept of fandom but is actually usually funny.

The newest batch of Geico ads with the caveman. In one of them, he wakes up from a recurring dream about the "original" incident and is just this side of a full-blown PTSD panic attack. Another is setup as nicer, the titular caveman sees an ad for a Geico Documentary that he thinks will "set the story straight," but it's clear from just the tiny amount he sees of the in-universe ad for the in-universe documentary that he's painted as a villain/side character at best and the gecko is the main focus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BI1jugqWKPA He then starts to break down, nearly snaps at his wife before collecting himself, etc... I'm not sure "let's poke fun at mental health" is a GREAT angle for advertisements, but I guess I'm not one of the ad-wizards from GEICO/GEICO's ad agency.

Remember when there were ads for poo poo like margarine and cereal that you could go down to the store and buy and not solely for things that require a multi-year commitment and/or a doctor's visit?

There is a local ad that runs during football games for an ambulance chaser where the concept is that you are a construction worker in an accident. This is conveyed with two people in hard hats talking at you about how awful you look while the screen goes dark to simulate your consciousness fading in and out. It's kind of horrifying and it runs a lot during football.

When they did the (extremely) short-lived Cavemen TV show, the first episode was about how the cavemen had to endure being called "maggers" (as in a play on "Cro-Magnon").

If I never again had to hear people in ads singing a hackneyed version of My Way to sell a poo poo box, it'd be far too soon. e: Same with the old man bellowing "From sea to shining seeeea" off key. gently caress off! F_Shit_Fitzgerald fucked around with this message at 02:01 on Jan 28, 2024 |

I've been seeing a ton of ads for Harrelson's Own CBD. Initially thought someone was cashing in on the public's perception of Woody Harrelson loving weed, then the spokesman comes on and its discount Woody Harrelson. Turns out it's Woody's brother with his current of a long chain of reaching business ventures.

I was in such a good mood watching the Puppy Bowl, and then this commercial came on. As someone who's been a Rover customer for over six years, I am personally, DEEPLY offended that they would inflict this embarrassing trash upon me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoLg6mc_N2k
