rolling nyc subway ads discussion thread

https://i.imgur.com/rvrmpzb.png

Couldn't snap a pic without the dude sitting in front of it thinking I was photographing him, but there's this new NPR ad that says something like "The NSA is listening, why not give them something more interesting to listen to?"

And I had the sensation that I'm pretty sure is the same feeling people get when they suspect the person trying to ingratiate himself is actually a narc.

That Manhattan Institute personal training guy is terrifying. Can't find a pic.

is that the one with the lady posing with a skeleton on the other half of the ad?

like you can be a personal trainer or a skeleton lady

yes!

seeing this guy's expression ruins all my mornings

Sometimes I feel like network ad execs give up before the show even comes out.
"That drama about the trial consultant based on young dr. phil that we're calling BULL? let's get a close-up of a stubbly round white guy from his sears headshots and tag it 'He'll Get You Off'. Research shows people love that."

hahaha I think abt this thread every time I pass that one

Sort of along those lines (lazy TV ads), I keep wanting to get a shot of the Danson/Bell show called "The Good Place" with the tagline "Where everything is good" and then a sort of second tagline "What the Fork?"

so zany

i watched the show last night, the conceit is that you can't curse in heaven so everyone says "what the fork" and "bullshirt" and "ash hole"

that sounds...like something that would definitely be really funny for at least an entire season of a show...

hi, we're looking for a drawing of a crow standing on top of a decaying gravestone with a bite mark on the corner. the gravestone should read "R.I.P. / I THOUGHT IT WAS A FRECKLE." oh yeah, and please draw a zombie hand coming out of the ground just in front of the grave. thx

Gideon Oliver is my hero.

He adds, "The 'If you see something, say something' campaign uncritically promotes snitch culture as a dogwhistle for Islamophobes, racists, and other bigots to inflict the government in the service of their prejudices and agendas on people I love and care about, including people I have represented in prosecutions. Since the campaign’s inception, the NYPD in particular has targeted Muslim, South Asians, Arab Americans, and others, for surveillance, prosecutions, and other harms. With all due respect to them, NYPD Legal Bureau lawyers should not be held up as heroes. In their place, I respectfully nominate the Black Lives Matter and other protesters who keep taking the streets – especially now."

lol such a skeeve

there are these sharper image ads that are so incredibly poor. they're just like clip-art of monkeys with bad monkey "puns".

like there's a monkey on a gift-wrapped box and it says "hey hey we're the monkeys" on the poster and then "sharper image".

its the laziest thing i've ever seen.

these?

why

Yeah really, we are living out the endgame of "juxtaposition wackiness"

those are the worst and are making me definitely never want to try mail chimp.

MailShrimp pisses me off most of all

god knows none of the others are funny either but at least they bothered to rhyme both syllables

srsly fuck these ppl -- even gregg might be better

somewhere out there, Dale Rimp boards the train, looks up and something catches his eye

probably a shrimp

nothing is worse than the new round of StreetEasy ads playing up their sickening one-percenter market more directly than ever, like, oh man I totally know what you mean, if I see a $3,000-a-month one-bedroom I just have to snap that up on general principle! FUuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUCK YOUUUUUUUUUU

MailShrimp pisses me off most of all

Never knew what these guys were selling, but it reminded me why it's a good thing I did not own an Uzi while working as an advertising peon.

At BAM, they show a MailShrimp ad/video before every... fucking... film.

slightly jealous of couples who can take an inside joke so far it becomes a beloved present.

The basic idea here is that 40 years of stagnant wages, the decline of unions, the death of middle class blue collar jobs, the demise of pensions, and a general slide of the American working world into a PTSD-inducing horror show of limitless vulnerability has been too easy on workers. I’m sorry, Doers, or whatever the fuck. The true beauty of these ads is that they are all predicated on mythologizing the very workers who their service is intended to immisserate. Sorry about your medical debt; here’s a photo of a model who we paid in “exposure” over ad copy written by an intern who we paid in college credit that cost $3,000 a credit hour. Enjoy.

have only seen one of 'em, but: the poster for new book THE WAR ON COPS is absolutely infuriating.

the tunnel of mouths in the west 4th st station is some serious cronenberg body horror shit, fuck's sake postmates
