Gadfly22 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 On a more positive note I just saw my new all time favorite commercial a few minutes ago, for Gain detergent - 2 kids sniffing their DILF dad's jockstrap! I kid you not. Apparently its new so I couldn't find a clip if it but I did find a complaint from a disgusted viewer here: https://gain-detergent.pissedconsumer.com/newest-commercial-201807021293565.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike carey Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Not ads to hate... There is a Royal Commission into the finance service industry. Its hearings have been a litany of banks etc behaving badly. These two ads were commissioned by a public broadcaster program about ads to persuade people to abandon the big banks. The end of the first one where the customer's 'Dear John' letter to the bank says, 'I cheated on you once with a credit union and it was fantastic' is fantastic itself.

LaffingBear Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Dont HATE any of 'em. But many frustrate me. I spent 3 years as a marketing manager for a Fortune 500 company. Every promotional campaign required legal review. Result: carefully crafted messages. Couldn't say ours was better, had to say "no one else's is better." Because they're really all the same. As a result, I'm tuned to hear exactly what they say, not what they imply. All the NSAID and cold medications promising "maximum dose", etc. The latest that jumps out at me.. an auto fuel campaign, I think its Chevron, touting that "no one delivers better fuel performance...." Theres a lot of behavioral science for advertising. Humans are incredibly impressionable. And, we hear what we want to hear. Our economy is based on it. Its how elections are decided. Its effectiveness grows along with information overload, or bombardment. But, when one pauses to really listen and consider the information, they're often saying something different than what they want you to hear. + g56whiz, Gadfly22 and N13 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ tassojunior Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) I stopped commercial tv watching many years ago. It stopped when W was elected and I refused to watch broadcast news anymore it was so depressing. Soon there was no reason to watch broadcast anything as cable had such better stuff. Then CNN went south and the internet took over. Soon all the good cable stuff was online anyway. Now too many sites want you to watch a commercial before you can see their video. Phooey on that. I've gotten to loathe them as a crude invasion. I find it odd that comments against the Gain jockstrap ad mostly find it a disgusting subject. On a gay site!

alrajee Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 On TV, I get mildly irritated when a pharma ad goes "do not take pillxxx if you are allergic to pillxxx"...effing duh! On YouTube (I enable ads there to support my favorite content creators), almost every ad the platform has: Amazon Dropshippers, Kala Kanai-type scammillionares (basically anybody who says "if you want to know the secret to amassing [insert large sum of money] while working from home), Umzu, V-shred (and the guy with the hot body but super punchable face)...I could go on.
