I'm surprised no one mentioned this commercial yet. This is the most stupid attempt at rebranding i can think of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n1vtZR16RY

RC and Moon Pie posted:Phalanx for SNES has probably been mentioned at some time. I wish I could find the commercial that ran on television for it, because it was even more out there than the box art. The ad ended with the banjo playing and I think it only had a couple of brief scenes showing that it was a space shooter. I remember reading that this man was homeless and hung out around the localization teams office. He befriended a bunch of the guys and they wanted to help him out so they dressed him up and slapped him on the cover and he got a good sized check out of it.

Jastiger posted:I get it at kids' places to sing and dance, and yeah, its about embarrassing the kids. But who thinks its a good idea? Who is like "Alright, lets all interrupt our work day to sing to these guys and possibly LOSE more of a tip due to the delay!" My mom and aunts go nuts over this poo poo. Tacky, sentimental poo poo is nourishment for old white ladies. Case in point, they're the only people I've ever met who don't find Christmas carolers awkward and annoying.

On the topic of toilet paper, I hate how Charmin is trying to re-brand TP into "bathroom tissue". It even comes complete with a momma bear smiling happily as she watches her cub take a dump. I mean, I get it but this is paper that wipes poo poo off your rear end in a top hat. How cute and fluffy do you possibly think you can make it? grittyreboot has a new favorite as of 11:48 on Apr 29, 2015 |

Traditional weddings are for the birds. Especially Catholic weddings. Whose idea was it to force all their friends and family to sit through mass? The best wedding I ever attended was at a lodge in a state park. They just had their friends play the music and bought a bunch of pizzas instead of cake. It was awesome.

That Robox posted:There was a new burger place that opened nearby about 5 years ago. Was going for the whole 50s style thing. I went there one day and tried to order an olive burger and was told they couldn't make those. Only what was on the menu. The menu wasn't much more than: I think the real question is why would anyone put olives on a burger.

Sleeveless posted:That was a fun time for businesses having no idea what they were doing as they tried to break into the pre-YouTube video worlds. Like that one auto company that got busted making a viral ad of a suicide bomber blowing themselves up in one of their cars, or the PSP trying so hard to look "urban" with their licensed graffiti murals and All I Want For Christmas Is A PSP. You could've made a whole thread about PSS/PS3 era advertising. Between the graffiti, viral video, the bill board of the white woman beating up a black woman, the black stereotype squirrels, the guy that would follow PSP players around in public places and harass them and creepy levitating crying babies it's a wonder they ever turned a profit.

muscles like this? posted:Videogame demos at trade shows are notorious for stuff like that. They'll have stuff where someone is showing off a "playable demo" of a game, leaving out the fact that everything is tightly scripted that way and nothing about it actually works. It's funny how they keep doing that. Sega actually had to settle a lawsuit to the tune of $1.25 million over the Colonial Marines fiasco. Pretty much everyone can spot a pre-rendered "real gameplay" trailer the second they get released.

ToxicSlurpee posted:The U.S. has laws where you aren't allowed to show people drinking alcohol on screen. You can have pictures of alcohol, bottles of it, glasses of it, whatever, people holding it, these things are fine. The ban is on drinking it. Sounds like Canada has the same law or they're just running U.S. adverts. Maybe not in commercials, but I know for a fact you can show people drinking alcohol in tv shows.

If you watch FOX shows on demand, they have unstoppable ads that spoil major plot points for Empire. I can't imagine who they think they're appealing to. I've never seen an episode so none of them made any sense to me. People who are caught up don't need someone telling them what they already know. Someone who likes the show but hasn't fully caught up would probably just get angry about it.

The last I heard of Marvel they featured a Muslim woman in a hijab, a black Captain America and a woman Thor. Now they gave the reigns to a guy who's worried about Richard Spencer's feelings.

Ultima66 posted:I saw a Youtube ad a few weeks ago for a group that ran a right-wing news/educational channel that I can't remember the name of any more. The ad was about how Youtube was attacking them by flagging their videos as inappropriate for minors, when their videos were in fact harmless and educational. The ad was trying to stir up people to take action against Youtube censorship. Does YouTube decide what ads are shown or is even that automated? Because because YouTube running ads attacking YouTube doesn't seem like it's in their best interest. On a related note, Prager U, a conservative think tank, likes to advertise on my account. I think it's because I occasionally watch videos making fun of the Alt Right. Its interesting because I've watched videos discussing what a whiny idiot twerp James Damore is and right in the middle of it i get an ad featuring James Damore complaining over how unjust his firing was.

McElroy ads are pretty bad, but their Jumbotrons are the WORST. Ten minutes of the show devoted to couples calling each other by their pet names. It's like being a third wheel even when you're by yourself. Their Totino's episode is still really funny, though.

I believe he hated Gates McFadden to the point he made an ultimatum to Roddenberry that either she leaves or he leaves. That's why she got fired for season 2. Patrick Stewart actually threatened to leave the show if they didn't bring her back for s3.
