Commercials and marketing schemes

[jazz]

for example, quizno's 'baby bob' campaign. the only talking baby i could ever tolerate is the one from family guy...that's it.

list yours...

[waylander]

Not the momma!

[Keith Moon]

- Arby's talking cooking mit.

[jazz]

i'd love to put that mit in with the cherry turnovers as they're being cooked.

[The Judas Cow]

Welch's Grape Juice Girl.


I hate her soooooooo much :twisted:

[jazz]

Welch's Grape Juice Girl.


I hate her soooooooo much :twisted:

i hate the one with the boy. what irritates me about them is that they try way too hard to be cute.

[greg]

the truth ads. they actually have the opposite effect on me. they make me want to start smoking, just so i'm not on the same side as those fucks.

[The Judas Cow]

i hate the one with the boy. what irritates me about them is that they try way too hard to be cute.

Yeah, I hate the boy for the same reason, but man that fucking girl just gets under my skin with her "too cutness" :puke:

All that is Jamster licks balls.

[iha]

- Arby's talking cooking mit.
I have one of those Arby's mits, but I can't get him to talk :(

[iha]

All that is Jamster licks balls.
:nod:

[ElleJae]

- Arby's talking cooking mit.
I wonder what the marketing team was on when they came up with that gem.

Marketing guy #1: Alright, um, let's see...how about...an oven mit....that talks about the food.
Marketing guy #2: Dude....that's such an....awesome idea. What should we name it?
Marketing guy #3: Ooh, I know! How about "Oven Mit"?!
Marketing guy #4: Wooo-eee-oooo-eeee.....oooo.....

[jazz]

aren't there like two other sites that advertise just like jamster does?

dirtyhippo or some shit?

- ...um, I was marketing guy #4. :blush: :shame:

[Keith Moon]

- I believe he only talks when you're actually inside an Arby's. :nerd:

[jazz]

i was marketing guy #5...off fucking marketing #1 and #3's girlfriends. :ha:



























then i woke up. :what:

[greg]

aren't there like two other sites that advertise just like jamster does?

dirtyhippo or some shit?
yep. i just started seeing those.

:shame:

[Capt]

freevibe anti-drug commercials

[The Judas Cow]

any anti drug commercial

[Capt]

marijuana is my anti-drug

[Jonesy]

the smiling guy for Enzyte or whatever it's called. Natural male enhancment...

There is also some weightloss pill zantrax 3 or something. Everyone turns to the camera and says 'YES!"

and finally the finger tooth brush...thing...commercial. Something about tear. brush, ah!

[bleuMadonna]

That fucking Aflac duck. They always show it during sporting events. Fucking drives me insane.

[ElleJae]

Those stupid Charmin commercials with the dancing bears cartoon. So cutesy and sweet and everything, until you stop to think that it's a commercial about pooping bears. I find it thoroughly disturbing.

Any kind of sexual enhancement commercial is annoying just because you never know if one will come on while you're watching TV with a family member.

And lastly the latest Pepto Bismol commercials. Again, there's just something wrong about trying to make bodily functions "cute."

[Pudie]

www.pimpmyburger.com

[greg]

is that a joke? if not, that's fucking horrible. :shame:

[Pudie]

Sadly it's not. sigh*

[Heath]

the truth ads. they actually have the opposite effect on me. they make me want to start smoking, just so i'm not on the same side as those fucks.

Amen brother, amen.

And Jamster needs to die a quick death.

[The Judas Cow]

Sadly it's not. sigh*
Why are there german subtitles through out the whole thing?

[Pudie]

Why are there german subtitles through out the whole thing?
click the burger bag , it goes to the german bk site. Must be for the german market :shrug:

[jazz]

the truth ads. they actually have the opposite effect on me. they make me want to start smoking, just so i'm not on the same side as those fucks.

and in my case, i currently smoke cigs. they're doing me more harm with their shitty commercials.

[The Judas Cow]

I smoke cigs on a rare occasion.

I like the thought of sticking to the truth

[iha]

I like the truth commercials sometimes. lol

[Heath]

What kills me is they say you'll never forget the people you hurt when you were high, but then in the next one they have a guy not remembering to do something because he's smoked too much!

[iha]

What kills me is they say you'll never forget the people you hurt when you were high, but then in the next one they have a guy not remembering to do something because he's smoked too much!
Yeah, their anti-weed commercials are fucking stupid. The cig commercials are ok sometimes imo. I think they're pretty clever. :shrug:

[Tzarina]

WHERE'S THE BEEF!? :sniper:

[Heath]

That fat Snapple lady pisses me off too.

[iha]

Isn't it snapple that have those commercials where the bottles are dressed up like people and they talk? I hate those.

[Heath]

Yeah. And the fat woman that does the voice is on that VH1 show for fat celebs. I hate that show, except for Daniel Baldwin because he's fucking rock and roll.

[jazz]

What kills me is they say you'll never forget the people you hurt when you were high, but then in the next one they have a guy not remembering to do something because he's smoked too much!

i jumped into an empty pool the other day cause i was high. :what:

[Heath]

And you remembered it. How fucked is that?

Truth ads are bullshit.

[jazz]

And you remembered it. How fucked is that?

well, i woke up the next day in the pool. :who:

[Heath]

Ahh that explains it.

[DeadOhioSky]

i almost hit a kid one day when i was high... thats when i stopped smoking and driving.

it was kinda funny tho, cause the kid shouted "slow dooown" as i sped past

[jazz]

it was kinda funny tho, cause the kid shouted "slow dooown" as i sped past

lucky for me i have a good imagination and just used it. :ha:

those are moments you swear would never happen when you're sober.

[DeadOhioSky]

your name!:eek2:

[jazz]

behold.

[Capt]

:up: fancy

[Heath]

Can I still call you Larry?

[jazz]

Can I still call you Larry?

of course, i'm larry, judas cow is judy, and you're sugartits.

mago and dio are cagney and lacey, respectively . :what:

[DeadOhioSky]

the 3rd age is over... the age of jazz has begun

[Heath]

But wasn't jazz the first age?

[Capt]

jazzdpb was the first age

[Trizzak]

I saw these commercials awhile back for the drink Fanta (or something like that.) I think there were 4 women singing about the drink, but the lyrics were repetitive and annoying. It was so bad, it failed to arouse me. Whats the point of having 4 women in a commercial if they're just going to annoy me? I don't need a commercial for that!

[B]

DONT YOU WANNA? WANNA FANTA? DONT YOU WANNA? WANNA FANTA!!!!

[kris46and2]

Every cigarette is like its been made by God, Rolled by Jesus and sharpenly moistened by Claudia Shiffers pussy right now.

[B]

I thought that was a good marketing scheme myself. Drink Coke.

[jaketucker]

The liquid ice commerials... ALL OF THEM! No matter who does them, they need to be shot

[DeadOhioSky]

ummm.... water?

[EtchedInCold]

it also doesn't help that liquid ice is little capsules of pure concentrated evil.

[iha]

Those "Tender swiss bacon cheddar ranch" commercials from Burger King .. that song is so annoying. And, is that guy in the commerical the black guy from Hootie and the Blow fish?

[Tzarina]

Those "Tender swiss bacon cheddar ranch" commercials from Burger King .. that song is so annoying. And, is that guy in the commerical the black guy from Hootie and the Blow fish?
Oh no, I JUST saw that and I was thinking it is him! :agape:

[iha]

Oh no, I JUST saw that and I was thinking it is him! :agape:
lol, is he even popular enough still for that to be considered a celebrity endorsement?

[Tzarina]

Hanging by thumbnails man... :shame:

Wow, you know your band is washed up when you're singing a BK jingle.

When my belly starts a-rumblin’
And I’m jonesin’ for a treat
I close my eyes for a big surprise
The Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch

I love the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch
The breasts they grow on trees
And streams of bacon ranch dressing
Flow right up to your knees

There’s tumbleweeds of bacon
And cheddar paves the streets
Folks don’t diss you ‘cause you got the juice
There’s a train of ladies comin’ with a nice caboose
Never get in trouble, never need an excuse
The Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch

I love the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch
No one tells you to behave
Your wildest fantasies come true
Dallas cheerleaders give you shaves
Red onions make you laugh instead
And french fries grow like weeds
You get to veg all day
All the lotto tickets pay
There’s a king who wants you to have it your way
That’s the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch

[Tzarina]

^evil man, pure evil :devil: ^

I am really tired of the stupid wrestling marketing and advertising schemes... Fucking annoying... :dual:

[DeadOhioSky]

i cant believe hootie sold out like that!
speaking of selling out, thats what he still does at shows, hes still quite popular.

[EtchedInCold]

he's got a lttle cult following or something.

[Keith Moon]

- I don't know if this one has been said yet, but the Esuvee commercials are getting a tad annoying.

[Bruce]

Those big hairy mammoth suv commercials?

Yep.

[Joga]

I hate those "It's all about the O" Overstock.com commercials...the chick undoing her hair, and all that...she's not cute.

[paygee]

the truth ads. they actually have the opposite effect on me. they make me want to start smoking, just so i'm not on the same side as those fucks.
they should use that Truth campaign on other aspects of this world.

the government
the president
etc.

ENCIRCLING.US IS BETTER THAN YOU

'nuff said, bitches.

[jazz]

ENCIRCLING.US IS BETTER THAN YOU

'nuff said, bitches.

fuck yeah.

- I don't know if this one has been said yet, but the Esuvee commercials are getting a tad annoying.

what pissed me off more about those commercials is that they're helping to keep people who drove those annoying vehicles alive.

[Godless]

Darius (Hootie) is awesome, don't you be dissin'.

Those Universal Days commercials where everyone is whispering are kind of annoying.

[B]

I hate those "It's all about the O" Overstock.com commercials...the chick undoing her hair, and all that...she's not cute.

WTF you talkin bout? Shes damn sexy for being middle-aged. :hump3:

[jazz]

i don't know if you guys have these commercials near you, but the bank of america radio ads are pretty asphyxiating. it moves along like a snail.

[B]

The worst commercial i think ive seen -

Adrian Brodie whoring Diet Coke, pretending to be a cool, hip, dude, when we all know he is a fucking nerdy freak.

[jazz]

The worst commercial i think ive seen -

i didn't even recognize the fucker. i thought they let a guy with AIDS do the commercial.

:shrug2:

[B]

i didn't even recognize the fucker. i thought they let a guy with AIDS do the commercial.

:shrug2:

exactly, till some whore said "hey brodie" or some shit like that. What a fag.

[Godless]

who the fuck is this Brodie character?

[jazz]

who the fuck is this Brodie character?

an actor i'm guessing. i've never seen any movies with him in it. thankfully.

[Jonesy]

Hmmm...I really like Brodie as an actor. He was great in the Pianist and the Village. :nanner:

(I always put a smiley even if it doesn't make sense to be there. These smilies are just too cool to pass on)

especially that one.

[B]

:nanner6:

[Heath]

Yeah, even though I don't smoke a lot I'd kill for a black and mild or even a pack of cigs right now. The snuff just isn't enough to do the job tonight.

Thanks truth ads, for keeping me away! :cheers2:

[bdf]

Those "truth" fucknards can piss up a rope. :smoke:

[Keith Moon]

- Jamster if officially my worst enemy at the moment. :rabid: :fingers:

[paygee]

:agree:

[greg]

boost mobile is on my shit list right now. i hate those fucking ads.

[paygee]

thats why you put the tv on mute during commercials

[Keith Moon]

[greg]

Or don't turn the damn thing on at all. :shades:

[jazz]

ahhhh, i remember those. although they don't show them as much here. thank god.

what i see almost incessantly are those papa john's (pizza) commercials and the checkers "rap-cat" ads during the panther games.

i still like the checkers one somewhat, but what these companies aren't realizing is that they're beating their own brands into the ground by showing them a hundred times throughout the course of a hockey game. i usually just wind up hating them, then never purchase their product.

[bleuMadonna]

... but what these companies aren't realizing is that they're beating their own brands into the ground by showing them a hundred times throughout the course of a hockey game. i usually just wind up hating them, then never purchase their product.

Same here. Overkill on the ads is so friggin annoying that it has the opposite effect of the goal. You'd think these execs would get that. Less is more.

[jazz]

if they were smart, they'd have them spaced out. and 3 or 4 tops.

[dionysusolympus]

thank goodness that the stoopid explorer guyz dancing commercial is over.

and jared from subway is annoying. him and burger king should fight to the death.

[sneakypete]

i see jared at champps sometimes...it is weird gay.

he is the ultimate blowjob.

I feel bad for Strahan is those commercials. He looks like he wants to leaves.

[Keith Moon]

- You should fatten him up again.

[jazz]

thank goodness that the stoopid explorer guyz dancing commercial is over.

jared is no match for a shot to the face.

marco island, baby. :five:

have you ever eaten the pizza at the taste of chicago? to. die. for. :drool: :homer:

[jazz]

yep, i know it's a rarity, but there are actually some commercials that don't make me want to open fire in a random crowd of people, no...these people know how to sell their product(s).

corona
geico (although they've been hit or miss as of late)
girls gone wild (at the right time of night, that is)
some video game commercials
...

[Joga]

I like the new Comcast commercial, where the Asian tattoo artist is trying to explain to the guy (Roger) that his tattooed tiger stripes are permanent. At the end he says "Sowwy Rahjuh- you tiger now!"

[Fhilly]

well i agree with the corona one. :loon:


their commercials are classy, pretty, to the point, modest, and generally awesome.

[Joga]

I *heart* the Geico commercial where the caveman is standing on the moving walkway in the airport, and sees the "So easy a caveman can do it" ad. I love the look on his face...and I love the music playing in the background.

[Keith Moon]

- Diamond is Forever commercials. I always cry.

[Joga]

:lol:

[jazz]

i could watch those corona commercials on a loop, that's how peaceful and relaxing they are.

[jazz]

joga just reminded me of this one in the other thread...the comcast "slowski" turtles.

"push it!"

"you push it. push it real good."

i hate comcast though. :hmm:

[dionysusolympus]

the slowski commercial is good for that one where the wife is explaining about the rock.

the original Twisted Metal: Black commercial. released in middle to late October...timing was perfect.

H2 commercial where the soccer mom drives the Hummer to school and the kids wow at the car.

[Bruce]

Anything with ass and titties.

[Agent]

6th avenue heartache

[dionysusolympus]

6th avenue heartache

is that similar to roosevelt avenue?

[Agent]

watching the lights go down...letting the cables sleep.

[jazz]

they've also been showing these comcast commercials with kids pretending to be co-workers and it's pretty damn funny. the kids act all stiff and awkward when saying their lines. :lol:

comcast still sucks. :shame:

[Jonesy]

I love the Jacks Links Bigfoot commercials. I did a speech over one of them earlier in the year, actually.

Geico commercials make me laugh...

[jazz]

the jack's links ones are awesome too.

[paygee]

i like those sonic commercials :yes:

[jazz]

the sonic commercials are torture for me. i love what they're offering, but i'd have to drive two counties up just to eat there. :eee:

[Jonesy]

Yeah, the Sonic ones are usually good too.

[paygee]

honestly jazz, youre not missing out on anything, fry up a corndog at home and go eat it in the car.

[jazz]

Ordering Dr. Pepper from Sonic and then having them add cherry and vanilla is probably the most amazing thing ever.

i'll pass by one the next time i go on vacation in orlando. :lol:

I had the worst experience at a Waffle House. It's a long story, but I'll just say it was the most strange and nasty experience I've had at a public restaurant.

[paygee]

the last time i was at one, i sat where i could see behind the counter, oh my eyes..

[Jonesy]

:lol:

Same here. It was disgusting.

[Joga]

One time I went to a Waffle House, and one waitress decided to announce something to another waitress across the restaurant-
Hey! Guess what?!?! Ahh'm not pregnant!!!"

[MojoFearsSatan]

a few classics:

Ford Pinto advertised in Brazil before realising "Pinto" is portuguese slange for small testicles.

The Turkish government attempting to cure their chronic road rage problem by putting up giant billboards saying "research proves drivers who get rowdy on the road have small penises"

Bizarro Japanese attempts to market goods to the UK including an absorbent toilet tissue called "Last Climax", a lawn fertiliser called "Green Piles" and a beef jerky called "Homo Sausage".

And possibly the best, the governor of Haiti needing to increase tourism but being intensely mistrusting of foreigners; his solution? Put a huge amount of money into advertising the country, then leaving a corpse in the air to rot outside the airport.

[paygee]

well it worked, now i want to go to haiti

Progressive Auto insurance is supportive of lesbians? Her name is Flo? Like Aunt Flo? She's named after a woman's period? Why does she look like a lesbian? Progressive Auto is prmoting the lesbianism. Are they trying to be a lesbian auto insurance company?

$581 for a new pair of shoes?!
Women ARE nuts!

Yeah ok Flo, she's really gonna go out and buy a fucking name tag with the money she saved by getting progressive insurance.

Stupid bitch.

Also, nice phrase - "tricked out"

Way to try to relate to today's generation by using what they think is a "pop culture" phrase.

Flo looks like HAMMERED SHIT!!! She looks like she fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. Damn that girl is FUGLY!!!

thats why you put the tv on mute during commercials

That's why you watch television without commercials.

Wait. TV without commercials? Is there a charge for this service? :imslow:


The Sonic commercials are decent, but they're few and far between all the dross.

[Bruce]

There is a charge and it's less than cable and satellite.

[Pun'KinG']

Do I still get to keep my same number? :dopey:

Sure.

dude, I got in my bosses car with 2 other guys from our largest account. The guy in the back seat holds up a 8" silver vibrating dildo and starts laughing his ass off. My jaw dropped and my boss grabs it and starts explaining how it is a neck massager and puts it on his neck. totally awkward.

How would you like to smell like a slab of flame-broiled meat? Well, now you can; all you have to do is spritz yourself with a bit of "Flame," Burger King's new body scent for men. That's correct, Burger King has entered the cologne business - and just in time for Christmas. Apparently, marketing geniuses are not in short supply at the fast food behemoth.

For a company that doesn't even really need it at this point, McDonalds has extremely good marketing.

McNuggets have gone downhill ever since they made them

I agree though, their nuggets are bland now.

http://www.encircling.us/go.php?url=http://consumerist.com/5179090/ftc-to-require-advertisers-using-testimonials-to-show-typical-results/

Subway spokesman and occasional thin guy Jared Fogle may soon be out of work thanks to a new FTC rule banning commercial testimonials that warn "results not typical" or "individual results may vary." Under the new rule, marketers using, say, body builders to advertise weight loss pills are also going to have to show an average lardass whose results might be more typical.
:teehee2:

[sneakypete]

I see jared at the bars sometimes. dude is a boner.

[dionysusolympus]

dat hulu commercial with Seth MacFarlane is pretty funny imo.

I guess they haven't watched Super Size Me.

[sneakypete]

that is cool.


I am going to contact Burger King and pitch us doing a movie like Super Size Me, but I will guarantee that I will not gain any weight, because no matter what I eat I stay skinny. We will make millions and then I will make commercials with the king. it will be glorious

i've only seen this commercial being shown on espn at night (a shortened 30 second version though). at first i was like wtf is ashley greene and why do i care? i mean, yeah she's hot and i'd fill her out like an application, but i just didn't see the big deal (i could find a hotter girl in the mall here in miami on a tuesday afternoon). the music is annoying and i want to punch the douchebag in the commercial the fuck out (although i like the other song in the second part of this vid).
