Whilst watching the NCAA basketball finale, I've seen the best good ad/bad ad splits in recent memory.
Best: Pontiac presenting a compelling case that its G8 is a superior car to the BMW 5 series. And at $30K. If I were on the market for a new car, I'd test drive it just on that ad alone. Worst: a father singing Meatloaf's Paradise By The Dashboard Light to his son. Let me sleep on it? Incest? Paedo incest? Incestuous paedo? What a fucked up disaster of a message AT&T is sending with that one. Particularly since anyone buying that phone as a father rocked out to Meatloaf back in the day and knows precisely what let me sleep on it means. Weirdest thing about it? I think that might have been Meatloaf hisself playing the father. Ick, ick, ick. |

Wow. I think I would shoot myself if I had to see that every time I watched TV.

Lol, I haven't seen that one. I do like the one where the M&M gets caught licking himself, though.

i love the m&m's ads...
i tried to find the video to post but its too new yet. i did find a review... "Okay, I'm watching NCIS and it's about 15 minutes till it ends, and ads are running. I'm not paying much attention as it's a M&M with a wig sitting on a park bench reading a magazine. Okay, M&M ad. Then, suddenly ,the cutest little squirrel shows up in front of the M&M. Then, seconds later, there are dozens of squirrels. A second later, the first squirrel launches the attack. Y'see, it was a peanut M&M. Darn, wish I'd caught it on tape!" it was a "milk chocolate" bath. hitchcockian ala "the birds". "when you're an m&m don't forget, there might be a large peanut inside of you..." oh, and i posted the review because this ad will probably never be broadcast again. it is sure to piss off some group somewhere and get banished. that said, i thought it was hilarious. m&m's paying homage to the great hitchcock. too cool...

I am really sick of seeing Proactiv commercials. Maybe it's because a lot of the stuff I watch is aimed at a younger demographic, but it feels like I see
500 of them a day. They're all the same, too: Some celebrity does the whole "I had acne too, just like a non-famous person!" speech, and they
show before and after pictures with gross close-ups of the featured celebrity's acne, along with gross close-ups of various nobodies' acne. Ew. And do
they have to be so freaking long? It seems like each one lasts at least a minute.

The one with the Brit girls isn't that bad, it's amusing because they're the most random people to get on the commercial and I wonder if they're buying the low-priced appliances (valued at a low-priced currency) to ship them back to England. |

I LOATHE the Macy's commercials with their new "a celeb branding each dept. line" schtick. The awful horndog Martha Stewart (and the panting
broads) fawning over that Clavin Klein dude...the Donald and his ties...Carlos Santana and his line of..shoes(!). The list goes on, and I continue to hurl..

OK, so The Grim Reaper shows up at a hospital to take away an old man. Suddenly, he gets a phone call -- from a White Castle hamburger -- and changing his
mind, instead heads off to get a burger or two to eat.
Seriously? WTF? Eating a cheap, nasty burger is better than collecting a soul to add to your collection? Puh-leeeeze. (Not to mention that that White Castle hamburger is FAR deadlier than the Grim Reaper ..... )
