Talk about them here.

I wonder if they had to pay the actor who got to make out with Bar Rafieli?

I read it took 65 takes to shoot that commercial. My other half says "it was her fault probably cause she couldn't get into kissing him". :roll:

My opinion is that it was HIS "fault" because as long as he flubbed a take, he could keep on kissing her! :lol:

So far (1st qtr ending) nothing has impressed me.

I did like the Best Buy/Amy Poehler, mainly because I Amy!! But also because she referenced "Fifty Shades of Grey", and she had me at "Fifty". :oops:

And the other stuff security cameras capture Coke commercial wasn't bad. I also Supertramp! 8)

I'm pretty sure that was the worst commercial in the history of television.

I think its just the total lack of originality in today's society. Pretty soon they will just be remaking commercials from the 90's.

The only one that made me laff was the car passing the truck full of lit fireworks. Actually, same commercial, they got the windshield wipers on for dog drool.

Everything else? Meh.

what i hear from a lot of people complaining is that there's too much money thrown at them without a lot of creativity, and i 100% agree with that. even the ones that are good usually aren't that "memorable" because i can't get past how much money was spent on this 30 second spot.

the problem is that the commercials have become their own enterprise and instead of it being about going big to get your name out there and advertise, it's just about shoving it right in your face. the whole coca cola race? WTF?

and you want to talk about commercials that make me want to kill...my personal version of hell is a constant loop of people singing different intonations of "like a good neighbor state farm is there".

I miss the days when beer commercials were funny. On principle alone, I'm not trying that black label Budweiser thing. Entertain me, don't just show a bunch of yuppies celebrating being yuppies.

The goat commercial was the best one.

That's the one that struck out to me. The fuck does that even mean "a beer for us"? That looked like hipster douchebag beer but then it's made by Bud, so us could only mean poser hipsters.

The one commercial that made me sit up and take notice was the American Farmer commercial. I'm not buying a truck but it made you think even if it was probably just sentimental crap..

I bet we will see a fleet of pickups in a driveway in Kennilworth tomorrow.

The theme of commercials that stuck out to me was they seemed much more overly sexualized at least through the first half. The family rated comedy of the past seems to be replaced with raunch and overt adult themes. Then you get into halftime with Beyonce dressed in leather and lace giving fucking the camera with her eyes for 15 minutes straight.

Maybe I'm becoming an old man but as a person watching with my family, I was not pleased.

As a man, I'd tap that Raffaeli like a subterranean well in the sahara.

Agreed. But in fairness, the beer companies can't find actual, funny people/comedians to be in them. Comedy lately seems too dominated by Jackass and/or Tosh 2.0 types or the God awful Will Farrell.

But that goat/Doritos commercial was funny.

I'd be willing to bet she can't fuck. Anyone trying that hard to be "sexy" isn't in my book. I mean hell, if she can only "sing" one note, my guess her skill set in everything except marketing is fairly limited.

As an old man watching with my family, I was bored.

If Godaddy is spending all that money on its ads, why doesn't it put just the slightest bit of money into creativity after a decade of insinuating Danica going down on another woman?

This is the essence of why I despise the NFL & its marketing partners. Games & the commercials now just seem to represent the lowest common denominator of saccharine pandering. Wear the ribbons, salute the soliders, cry/then cheer for our "victims". But more than anything, buy our products like a good Umurrukan. Ugh.

Now a commercial celebrating the long extinct American farmer, now brought to you by Monsanto, ADM, Tyson...

Because they realize that what still works for Cinemax is good enough for them.

The only one I thought was funny:

"Are you sure you're not here to see a guy named "Sam Sung?"

Kind of funny that they would create a hipster beer when already kind of have a fringe hipster beer in the classic budweiser. All you have to do to qualify as a hipster beer is be a beer that the working man would have cracked open in the 60's and 70's after a long day at the mill.....that hasn't been marketed beyond neon bar signs and a nascar side panel since then.

The Miller parent company did it right by buying all the rights to the old working mans beer. If you want a new hipster beer, start distributing Carling's Black Label and don't do shit as far as marketing.

The A-B company also owns Beck's which premiered their sapphire blend last night as well.

Could you imagine the sales of Falstaff around Wrigley once they heard Harry used to drink it ?

That was a great commercial. I think every farmer in America used to listen to Paul Harvey.

Very sentimental, except the great ending -

Paul Harvey wrote:
then sigh and then reply with smiling eyes when his son says that he wants to spend his life doing what Dad does. "So God made a farmer."


- in real life that kid said, "I'm getting a job that you can make some actual money and getting the hell off this farm". That kid is better than me.

Why?

Because it overly romanticized farmers and the agriculture industry.


They arent all hard working, earnest, salt of the earth people

Many are openly racist calculating businessmen.


Oh and 50% of workers on farms are hispanic, but you wouldnt know from that ad


I find lawyers more trusthworthy and earnest than farmers in my personal experience

What id the ad was "God made a lawyer"?

Its just silly to deify a profession like that
