Those Stride gum TV commercials.
You know which ones I’m talking about.
The seriously unfunny ones involving the CEO of Stride gum and animals/strongmen sent out to get chewers of Stride gum to “spit out that first piece” because the flavor supposedly lasts SO long. That’s what the ads are talking about.
Here’s one, if you haven’t seen [...]

When I was a child in the 1970s, beer commercials were not particularly interesting. Obviously, I was far too young to drink so they weren’t really aimed at me, but, even with the benefit of hindsight, it is apparent that they were produced with a very specific customer in mind: A young, working class male [...]
Okay, here's the deal: On and off since Spring, my left hand has been doing some weird numbing thing on the ring & pinky side. I don't know what it is and I should probably go to a doctor about it. In the meantime, for today's Halloween Scream post, all you're getting is some Halloween commercials I found on YouTube. Hopefully by the time you read this, some jerk won't have complained about co
If you wait long enough to see a movie, chances are a commercial or two will spoil some of the surprises that were previously advertised. Some of us have cable packages that enable us to watch films fairly soon after they come out, for a nominal fee. For those hard-core individuals who’re really into saving money, you can just wait until the film comes out on HBO, Cinemax, or even basic cable.
Kiddo was out of school a couple of days last week with some sort of stomach virus. When it wasn't fountaining out of his backside, it was erupting out of his pie-hole. During one of these volcanic eruptions, I was keeping him company in the restroom (handing him tissues to wipe his mouth, patting him on the back and whatnot). He started mumbling something that I couldn't quite make out. I said, "
5. Tony Stewart/Joey Logano “Home Depot” Commercial

Tonight's episode of Family Guy inspired this entry.Kool-Aid has a looong history of advertising campaigns, some more memorable than others.

Before Chuck E. Cheese ditched his bow tie and went all EXTREME TO THE MAX in the mid 90s, his establishment was known as Showbiz Pizza. The restaurant's basic concept might not have changed much (except for the fact that Chuck is apparently the sole animatronic left. Boo!), but the quality of their commercials has spiraled downward. They just don't have the charm that they used to. Plus in my hum

As in several previous SuperBowls, the biggest single advertiser at this Superbowl XLI was Anheuser-Busch, with nine spots. Their Bud Light brand alone fielded six 30’ commercials. Now, of course, Bud Light is already the market leader of this category. And this may be the reason why they seemed so complacent with their Superbowl advertising.Let us look at Bud Light advertising at this Superbowl

So it wasn’t too long ago when Max Factory & Good Smile Company announced their figma toyline and released their Yuki Nagato figure from the Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi.

Most commercials are annoyances I fast forward through on my DVR/PVR/TiVo, whatever you call it. 80% of the time the commercials are trying to get you to eat a cheeseburger drink a softdrink or get a bank account and those commercials are pretty much lame, borring and all follow the same formula.

This month I thought I'd show some VERY rare Ford TV commercials from 1957. What makes these so rare is that they're in color.It is probably safe to say that most Americans only saw these in black and white, as color TV was still a very new medium. Few shows were broadcast in color and even fewer people could afford them.Limited production for the '57 Ford, where the assembly line was tested (for

These two are my all time top favorite commercials. The McCain Cool Quenchers “Arm Wrestle” / “I Love You” commercial is priceless, with the little girls expression and the way she swallows her last gulp as she says “I love you”:

I watch a lot of TV and even with the wonder of Tivo I still manage to catch my fair share of the commercials. Lately, there have been two that I've actually rewinded and watched over and over again. Amazingly, they're both for cell phone carriers. Whoa. The Mother's Day Commerical From AT&TIt makes me want to buy a phone, buy my mother a phone and do horrible things to flowers. That's a lot for a 30 second spot. The Firefighter Commercial From SprintI laughed out loud the first time I saw this. It doesn't make me want a Sprint phone, but I do want to wear a fire helmet. Mission Accomplished.
Women will LOVE this commercial!This is new territory for the Boston-based cult running shoe company. New Balance is the runner’s shoe.

New Balance is embarking on a big ad campaign to expand their brand.

Without a doubt, the SuperBowl is this countries singe biggest day for Advertisers. This years SuperBowl spots are running a cheap $2.7 million for 30 seconds. With companies paying such large amounts of money for these ads, you would think everyone would be a hit. But that's not the case with 2008. In fact, many people are saying 2008 SuperBowl commercials may be the worse in years.Godaddy stated back in August that they would not be airing a SuperBowl commercial this year. However, it looks like they changed their minds as they will have a SuperBowl commercial directing people to go their website and view a racy Danica Patrick video. Godaddy says Fox rejected the ad because it's too racy. I don't think their current commercial is all that great. If I'm Godaddy, I'm getting Danica Patrick
Until 1990, Ronald McDonald and the gang dominated the kid-friendly fast food commercial racket. However, that changed when some new mascots emerged: The Burger King Kids Club Gang. This group of kids was even more PC than Captain Planet's Planeteers. Burger King was determined to cover every demographic. Here's a rundown:Boomer, the tomboy: the jock of the group, who always wielded a hockey stick and never took off her roller blades. I could make a joke about her eventually replacing her blades with Birkenstocks, but she seemed pretty enamored with Lingo in one of the commercials I posted... I.Q., the stereotypical nerd: Pocket protector? Check. Glasses? Check. Wild hair? Check. Huge vocabulary? Check.Jaws, the token black guy: his shtick was his incredible appetite. His only other memora
