Game ads in the 90's were some of the weirdest poo poo. Sega had a deal with Howard Johnson to give away game tips for their lovely rear end games. How this benefitted either party, I'm not entirely sure.

This offends all my senses.

That banner remind you of anything?



I'm really miffed that they couldn't be bothered to iron that banner before taking a picture of it - unless it was in a conscious kind of way. "Should we iron it first?" > "No, gently caress those guys."

That is a total bullshit attempt to spin the ad as anything but a complete failure.

I dunno. Watching it, I wondered if it was some like, super-high, meta-meta-meta PR presentation. Like, how people who don't really pay attention to current art trends might scoff at something considered way-high art? It's like, it was made for that crowd that's several levels into that PR bullshit as well, and it's really impressive in a reified kind of way.

This commercial for Charter is currently the worst commercial on TV, to me. I know cable commercials are low hanging fruit they're all generally terrible and it doesn't seem to matter either way, but it's so bad, and seemingly endless, that we laugh every time it comes on. It just moves from one joyless, robotic scene to the next, on and on.

My favorite part is when the black dude and pants lady do that neck dance move



Look into their eyes. That is the look of a man who knows he is not going to make it as an actor.

Yeah, you're mostly right, but I'm going to remember that phone number until my last dying day.
