UConn James Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 As I asked in the chat room... Who's saved by zero? The customer or Toyota?

MattyT Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 I got dragged into the misery of this commercial during last week's MNF game. Sometimes they ran it twice during the same break! I can't hit the mute button fast enough.
Steely Dan Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Annoying as hell I agree, but the "Baby come back" mop commercials are up there too. There's another one that really bothers me too but I can't think of the music to it right now. Another question. Why does Glade want a pathological liar as their spokesperson?

But with that commercial, at least you get a second to change the channel. The Toyota commercial just slams you in the face immediately with SAVED BY ZERO!!!!! and then you become too disoriented to act fast enough to save yourself.

That's why a lot of people just hit the mute button at the beginning of the break.
Tim Anderson's Lunch Pail Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Saved by Zero might be one of the worst ad campaigns of all time. What grown man goes into a studio, sings that awful jingle, and still lives with himself?

MattyT Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 The fact that it's being talked about this much is a sign it works. Depends on how you define "works." Sure people are talking about it (negatively). But is it really selling any cars?
Bullpen Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Depends on how you define "works." Sure people are talking about it (negatively). But is it really selling any cars? This is what happens "when one thing, one thing leads to another." Personally I can't hit the mute button fast enough when that freecreditreport.com dung-heap appears on my TV singing his stupid songs... Hate that bastage.
Beerball Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 The Axe ads with the chocolate dude! DTV has a channel devoted to that stupid ad.
Bullpen Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 The Axe ads with the chocolate dude! DTV has a channel devoted to that stupid ad. I saw that this weekend... That commercial for some reason cracks me up, but is disturbing all at the same time. I can't explain it.
keepthefaith Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Depends on how you define "works." Sure people are talking about it (negatively). But is it really selling any cars? Unfortunately Toyota is kicking the ass of our domestic automakers. Big trouble within GM, Ford and Chrysler.
stuckincincy Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Unfortunately Toyota is kicking the ass of our domestic automakers. Big trouble within GM, Ford and Chrysler. They don't have to factor in $1,500 per car or so to pay for the health care of retired employees and their family members, and don't have to deal with unionized workers. Yet they normally get MSRP for their vehicles. Where is Obama here, to change this unfair advantage of this wealthy corporation, support his union campaign contributors, and demand Change?

Don't get me started on Barack.
Marshmallow Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Saved by Zero might be one of the worst ad campaigns of all time. What grown man goes into a studio, sings that awful jingle, and still lives with himself? A man that just made $100,000+ to sing that jingle for a major advertising campaign with a huge media buy. Not bad for a couple hours of work. The real question is what self-respecting advertising agency would propose such a horrible idea to a client.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Saved by Zero might be one of the worst ad campaigns of all time. What grown man goes into a studio, sings that awful jingle, and still lives with himself? Actually it's a song from 1983 by a band called The Fixx. The song's not much better than the commercial.
