Commercials

I really don't want to sound like that arrogant guy from the 1800 Tequila commercials who seems to hate everyone and everything but 1800 Tequila, but there are a lot of commercials that make you question how their advertising departments actually got jobs.

The first commercial that I noticed that makes me just say "what the fuck" is the vitamin gummies commercial with the guy just standing there, smiling. It's horribly awkward to just look at this guy, chewing and smiling. How is that even selling your product? No viewer is watching that and thinking "oh, I want to be moderately content, so I'll buy these gummies." They must have had a budget of about $10...enough to just buy the product.

Another commercial that always irritates me just by it's existence is one of the new Geico commercials, where random people drink two cups of something and one of them represents the competitor and is therefore terrible. The one with the black man (this is in no way racist) is the one that I hate. He drinks it and just goes "ooooooooh" over and over in a really high voice. It's just so damn annoying. The concept of the commercial itself is terrible as well, as it really doesn't differentiate the product, just claims that it's better.

But then there are some other commercials that will glue you to the TV. One of those is SAP. The company has so many connections with different kinds of companies, and they are all included in the commercials, ensuring that everyone's interests are included somewhere. For me, in two of the commercials, there is an Audi R8 Spyder and a McLaren MP4-12C. Seeing these beautiful cars in action always brings my attention to the TV, so at least SAP does that right (I don't even know what their product is).

So if you're ever watching TV and some of these commercials come on, just yell at the TV. That's what I do.
