Ralonzo Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 It's that time of the season where we cheer Tom Brady getting flattened and ad executives wasting millions upon millions of dollars in futile efforts which merely annoy us all. I'll be providing live(-ish) commentary on the various efforts to part us suckers from our hard-earned fiat currency. Of course everyone is free to chime in! So grab your tall, ethanol-infused beverage in your AutoCAD designed Sam Adams Perfect Glass, and join the misery... we're gonna get rolling with the 5:57's [5:57 PM] 1) Looks like another Jason Statham movie, which means we have to blow more things up than the last movie. I think in this one they blow up Papua New Guinea just for a stunt. 2) NFL Play 60. 3) Brian Williams with another prime time news magazine doomed to early cancellation. 4) Locals now? I'm getting SAIC giving a lesson in physics. And personal fouls. 5) Some sort of thinktank.org It's 6:00 and away we go! Verizon's introduction with the Kinks playing Superman? Oh nevermind, it's just the NBC Football theme which differs by about 1 note. Ray Davies, get thee to a lawyer.
Ralonzo Posted February 5, 2012 Author Posted February 5, 2012 [6:04 PM] 1) Hyundai found themselves a banjo that play Sousa. As American as kimchi, they are. 2) A looooooong GE ad about cancer survivors? 3) Kraft Mac & Cheeze with a snarky little spoiled brat. 4) The NFL brings bad karaoke to your house.
Just Jack Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Geico with another winner with the weight loss commercial
Ralonzo Posted February 5, 2012 Author Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) [6:11 PM] 1) Some guy claiming he is a TV star. 2) Geico with their 10,000th bad idea for a commercial. Seriously? So gross. 3) Gillette Fusion will help you dress like a pimp apparently. 4) Pizza Hut rap. Is this guy actually spinning 2 pizzas on those tables, because this sounds awful. 5) Denzel Washington's latest vehicle looks exactly as interesting as the last dozen or so that I skipped.

Simon Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 I've never paid enough attention to SB commercials to be able to name even a single one from history. That being said, I always enjoy the hell out of this thread. You've already made me want to buy a Gillette Fusion!!!
Ralonzo Posted February 5, 2012 Author Posted February 5, 2012 [6:19PM] 1) Many have fallen... except for the lead singer of Static X (The Dictator) 2) Verizon Razor, now made from pure unobtainium. 3) Corpseorado Clothes, just in case you want to work alongside mountain goats. 4) Ronald McDonald House. 5) Hyundai Genesis, 0-60 faster than Phil Collins can change signatures 8 times. Genesis ... get it?
Ralonzo Posted February 5, 2012 Author Posted February 5, 2012 [6:27 PM] 1) Hyundai is loading up. This one looks like it's based on a singalong Rocky Theme. Another try? Yeah, try "Eye Of The Tiger". Or even something from Frank Stallone.
DC Tom Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Hyundai "Rocky" commercial - very good! ????? Hated it. Hate Hyundai.
John in Jax Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 On the road a lot...rent a lot of cars...Hyundais are surprisingly pretty good
Ralonzo Posted February 5, 2012 Author Posted February 5, 2012 This is a relative eternity between ads in the NFL these days. [6:38 PM] 1) Here at the Borg factory, we build... blue bottles? Drink from blue bottles to help you forget your blue balls. 2) Oh God no, not more vampires. I'm old enough to remember when vampires used to suck blood and not ****. You Audi know better. [6:41 PM] 1) Pepsi, with Elton John wearing an outfit much less garish and outrageous than usual. I like the sundial on Flav (I think that was Flav?) tho. 2) Hyundai again? Dogs chase cars, cats chase meat. 3) NBC show. Better colas than Pepsi dance for my amusement in thrice-belled caps and diamonded pantaloons
John in Jax Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Like the Pepsi commercial...lotta work/creativity there, say, compared to that totally LAME blue bottle beer commercial! But I'm a staunch Coke Zero drinker, so it matters not lol
Fezmid Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 This appears to be the year Twitter goes mainstream -- most of the ads have had hashtags to follow instead of a URL. Interesting.
Just Jack Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 This appears to be the year Twitter goes mainstream -- most of the ads have had hashtags to follow instead of a URL. Interesting. There's even going to be some with QRC codes I've heard.
Ralonzo Posted February 5, 2012 Author Posted February 5, 2012 [6:52 PM] 9-0 G-men... What You Gonna Do when he says goodbye? What You Gonna Do when he is gone? Oh wait, thats Pablo Cruz, not Victor Cruz. 1) Bud Light Platinum. I think I slept through this commercial. Not very catchy. 2) M&M's being racist against the brown ones. 3) Best Buy trying to hawk Cell phones. When one of those blueshirts can tell me the difference between 3G and 4G I'll consider it. 4) The Apprentice part 23.
Chef Jim Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Audi? bad. Pepsi? bad. worse. Fixed it for you. Those were !@#$ing terrible! Awesome M&Ms commercial.. Really??
Ralonzo Posted February 5, 2012 Author Posted February 5, 2012 [6:55] And we're running behind. 1) Coke and those insufferable polar bears. You know what a real polar bear would do with your coke? Nothing... but he'd eat you guts-first when you brought it there. 2) Twinkies, the perfect food for any kind of apocalypse. Except its a Chevy Silverado commercial. I have a damn strong craving for a Twinkie now though.
