Those are horrible, but the Chevy focus-group campaign is worse. Almost revived this thread to gripe about those.

So the endless gospel sample in the Chromebook ads says "First you got a light bull due/Then you got a gas bill too" and I at least know that. But I kind of never want to hear that remix ever again ever.

that Peloton ad is causing a hell of a shitstorm online
I don't really buy the idea that it's necessarily sexist or problematic but it is deeply weird, it kinda reminds me of the commercials I grew up with in the 90s that had bad actors and told bizarre stories that clearly weren't focus grouped at all

the Dean Winters commercials as "Mayhem" are pretty good. or maybe I just think they're good because they actually have something to do with insurance? like every other company is just doing "you can save a lot on insurance!" and "oh my god, I can't shut the fuck up about insurance!"
― frogbs, Wednesday, 18 August 2021 14:07 (three years ago) link
i think commercials in general are getting more annoying and desperate for attention. maybe they have to now that they're competing with "switching to a different tab" and "looking at phone"
