re: advertising?

What? People still watch television? I have no idea what any of these are!

I will gladly avail myself of any opportunity to dump on Comcast.

My vote goes towards those huge Pepsi ads that seem to be plastered on every damn flat surface in Boston.

What is that fish singing? It isn't a parody of any well known song. It isn't very clever on its own. And why does the stuffed fish say "gimme tht fish"? Is this some kind of cannabalistic thing? It's certainly not a rescue attempt, because, man, that fried fish is already gone.

How much did they pay the guy who wrote this? The agency that approved it? I am in the wrong job, apparently.

Comcast

Comcast has secured prime real estate in Hell for those godawful monotonous ads. I hate all Comcast ads, but these ones are particularly horrific.

Snickers ads...

I love this post, as the nonsensical, abstract advertising has confused me VERY much. Last night I saw a Tostitos commercial in which a pair of eyes went on an adventure and found a pair of glasses. WHAT does that have to do with chips and salsa??

in these tough times, advertisers would be wise to play to our sentimentality, and familiarity, rather than offering up riddles for us to solve.

Pairs of eyes

And what about "that's the money you could be saving with Geico, with the googly eyes on the stack of dollar bills. It was awful enough as a TV ad, but now they've used that meme and the "Somebody Watching Me" song in radio spots.

Oh, and that 6 hour energy ad, with a hot secretary and the guy orgasming in the dark office. Doesn't begin to make sense.

We're living in Idiocracy, I tell ya.
