Morpheus posted:Jesus, the initial PS3 advertisements were awful. Like they were trying to create 'deep' and 'artistic' ads that featured...uh, crying baby dolls and...stuff. Other weird stuff. I think I know the guy who directed this, at least, it really really looks like his brand of stupid loving poo poo. The style is spot on the same. For the life of me I can't remember his name. I went with a friend to a lecture this director guy gave at the local uni and he was the biggest arrogant, self obsessed 'edgy' rear end in a top hat I've ever had the displeasure to hear speak. He did a whole bunch of stuff for sony after he did a did an ironic 'gently caress you' advert for them that featured nazis and colonoscopy footage. Sony gobbled it up and hired him to make equally strange adverts for years. His advice to the young wannabe film makers was 'gently caress the man' and a whole slew of bullshit that would ruin all of their careers. He got lucky that his edgy gently caress you to Sony went viral, that's it, and now he thinks he is Jesus Kubrick of the ad directors world.

The new Aygo campaign is a bit, uh... ok ok, I'll go 'fun' myself. I'm sure every person who hears the advert or sees the billboard automatically thinks 'go gently caress myself?'

Even worse are the Game of War/Clash of Clan adverts on TV. No gameplay footage, not even cutscene footage - just some CG cartoon of what the game might look like in your imagination. I've seen endless ads for those games and still have no idea what they look like to play.
