lol it would be pretty funny if I literally just saw her sitting at a table and then afterward didn't understand why I hadn't absorbed her jokes by osmosis

am i the only one grossed out by those mattress ads with the cutesy cartoons that are all like "the perfect mattress for - - - party animals!" and it shows a bunch of like rats hanging out on your mattress? like great, that's what i want to think about, rats shitting on my mattress. and then it's like "the perfect mattress for - - - cleansers!" and it's people chugging stuff from a blender and it's like, you know cleanses are fundamentally about excretion also right? like are these the associations you want? at least those gross top-down perspective views of hypothetical apartments you could have feel like they were drawn by a human being.

those mattresses are too soft but they give you cucumber water and choc chip cookies at their "showroom," which is just a loft on bond st
― adam, Wednesday, 1 July 2015 15:06 (eight years ago) link
also there's just one mattress in a bedroom, that's the showroom, and in the bathroom there's like shampoo and shit in the shower so someone clearly lives there, so the whole thing is creepy af

oh and we were like "the mattress is too soft" and the girl told us that the mattress is awesome but it we really really really thought it was too soft but bought it anyway they would send us a firmer mattress pad at some undetermined point in the future.
is your friend gary approachably attractive but possessed of a creepy quiet cultlike low-level startup employee enthusiasm?

current vitamin water ads are pulling some really weak "omg lol we're new yorkers amirite?" material in trying to, i guess, describe situations where you'd need a vitamin water. uptown date... downtown meeting?!?!

Is there some specific ad agency that does subway ads with that schtick? Because I feel like there have been so many bad campaigns with that exact vibe -- Seamless, various storage companies, etc.
― on entre O.K. on sort K.O. (man alive), Friday, 11 September 2015 02:01 (eight years ago) link
I hate when ads try to get all in-the-know with you like that, it feels like a stranger showing up at your party and reminiscing about old times they weren't actually there for.
― on entre O.K. on sort K.O. (man alive), Friday, 11 September 2015 02:02 (eight years ago) link
replace the new yorkisms with, say, a white upper middle class suburban milieu and I think you'll find those ads to be a pretty standard form--except there's an extra layer of new yorker self-regard being called upon that's particularly creepy.
― ryan, Friday, 11 September 2015 03:52 (eight years ago) link
I hate all these "in the know new yorker" ads for seamless and flatrate and that other storage company. Really, really hate.
And also I agree about that roast chicken and red wine poem.

i admit to finding those ads pretty fascinating...like how they almost always insist on the quotidian new york experience (take out, walk ups, cabs) rather than anything like the "making it in the big city" narrative. almost as if the highest aspiration that you can appeal to in an ad is the *desire to be a new yorker* rather than anything new york might be a means to.

They also had that drag queen ad -- whoever photographs them is really good at creating images that are simultaneously a little creepy and hard to stop looking at.

Who the fuck are all these people with spacious, neatly organized walk-in storage rooms anyway?
― on entre O.K. on sort K.O. (man alive), Thursday, 3 December 2015 16:33 (eight years ago) link
yeah lol. the whole thing is just stuffing them with cardboard boxes, right?
i guess it could potentially be smart marketing for the u-stor-it industry... convince people they really should use this more like a spacious walk-in closet or a well-organized backyard shed, and thus upsell them on a much bigger unit.. still it seems bonkers. i mean the brownie cameras and keepsakes just sitting out there! just pack this stuff up into a few u-haul boxes and stick it at the bottom of your closet or something. if you don't like that menorah enough to display it in your house maybe it's time to let it go. not sure if the telescope or the stack of pashminas and hats seems most absurd.
