The White Dragon posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CEa9fL9nS0 At first I thought they got famous gamers/youtube commentary dudes to do the voices, but apparently that's Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake. I dunno if the UK ads, which feature the guys from The IT Crowd, are better or worse. At least the voices are instantly recognizable?

As long as we're on the subject of terrifying PSAs, here's Astar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Km4f-eRE4Kc Astar still haunts my dreams.

Turfahurf posted:Are there any studies that show that any of those Truth ads have actually been effective? They just make all smokers and non-smokers I know want to smoke out of spite. Even in high school when I was in the target market for them everyone hated them. The recent ones with "left swipe" and the obnoxious memes are terrible. But I remember the late 90's early 00's Truth ads and I thought they were pretty effective. At least they worked on me, but I never had a strong inclination to smoke. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_56BQmY_e8 I also remember there was a series of truth ads that would show three people doing something mundane and one would just keel over spontaneously. Something along the lines of "1 in 3 smokers will DIE." I was sufficiently creeped out.

When I was visiting Canada, I had to try the McDonald's "kale and feta breakfast wrap" out of morbid curiosity. It was, unsurprisingly, terrible. Do they still do those two tiny breakfast wraps with the lovely packet salsa? Those were good.

Someone Awful! posted:i wish advertising prescription medication were illegal, it seems like a hosed up practice One of the small pleasures of moving to the UK is that I don't have to see old dudes strutting about with their "I just banged" smug grin at every commercial break.

Karma Monkey posted:Maybe advertisers have always done this and I'm just now noticing, but anyway, it seems like a lot of companies are doing this thing we're they make a mini documentary or social experiment to see what people will say and we're supposed to be surprised and/or inspired and/or moved to tears by the outcome. That's cool I guess, but I always wonder if they're entirely scripted or they just go through X number of participants to get the reactions they want. Take this one, for example. I really have trouble believing it. I just feel like it would be the kids naming pop stars and celebs and the parents saying "I just want my kids to put down the video games for 5 minutes and eat at the dinner table." Yeah I'm gonna say this is 100% fake, if not I'll eat my (non-fruit) hat.

I was looking at some more videos on that channel that posted Cuck Water Bottle and I found a bunch of commercials featuring an anthropomorphic bloody rear end in a top hat. While at the same time going for a kind of....Minions (??) vibe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rikKFAxg8pc
