Planet Fitness is trying to market itself as the gym with new equipment, low prices and no judgement. It’s not a bad angle, but it’s a shame they’ve rolled out these ads with people so lame we can’t help but judge. And judge we shall! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjc2AWYUSBc&list Selfie is already a tiresome word. Sure, there’s been […]

Taco Bell is one of hundreds of chains trying to capitalize on the Happy Hour concept. It’s an attempt to boost sales during a slow period of the day (2pm-5pm) despite the fact the usual idea of Happy Hour involves alcohol and hanging out in an establishment which is nothing like Taco Bell. With all […]

We’re usually pretty supportive of Reese’s. Their commercials are basic, yet they always capture our attention and keep us entertained. Due to their simple nature and limited text, you’d expect the ads to be perfect – especially when it comes to spelling. That’s not quite the case. Watch for their slogan at the very end […]

It must be a pretty cushy job being in charge of marketing and advertising for Skittles. Why? Because you could put just about any ridiculous thing you can think of on TV and seemingly no one objects. Skittles has been using some weird commercials for quite some time. From Skittles acne to Skittles teeth, the […]

Cristiano Ronaldo and Pele star in a new commercial for Emirates which shows off one of the airliner’s fanciest planes. Ronaldo steps out of the shower – yes, on a plane – and waits for a drink at the bar. Again, still on a plane. Two other passengers comment on his legendary soccer skills, but […]

You’re not you when you’re hungry. That’s been the message we’ve seen from Snickers for quite some time, but now the company has brought the message to life in an interesting Australian stunt. Here some Aussie construction workers ditch their stereotypical catcalls and whistles and instead shouted empowering statements to the women below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gjsoSY18kg It’s […]

Sprint’s Friends & Family plan is a pretty cool concept. Sure, the vast majority of us would have absolutely no use for 10 lines on the same plan, but it’s nice to have the option. Unfortunately, Spring really dropped the ball when it came to marketing the plan. Framily. Sprint committed the unforgivable act of […]

New Pringles Tortillas are apparently so good that they’re best eaten plain. Evidently, no dip is required. Instead of just coming out and showing how good the chips are and how they’re superior to chips loaded with dip, Pringles decided to make their consumers look like they have some sort of disorder. Behold – Imaginary […]

Do you remember Gator Gum from Gatorade? It was designed to be a chewing gum which had a “unique mouth-watering formula” which would help quench thirst. It sounds like a ridiculous idea – gum quenching your thirst – which is why the product was discontinued in 1989. If you’re wondering, the commercials were about as […]

Kangaroos are kind of awesome. That’s what makes this commercial from Dish Network such a crime against humanity. In a spot promoting the fact you can watch Dish just about anywhere, the company uses a CGI-stuffed animal kangaroo with the voice of Rebel Wilson to annoy an entire office. We often receive Tweets from our […]

Your dad is about to go out on a big date. What do you offer him? Some advice? Well wishes that it goes well? None of the above. You offer him a condom. Why? Because your family is creepy like that, apparently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgPbp-aMpvE We’re all about encouraging the young and old to practice safe sex, […]

Wonder what Pamela Anderson is up to these days? It turns out she’s giving people a Woody down under. Here are two spots from an advertising agency in Auckland, New Zealand in which Anderson is helping promote Woodstock Bourbon & Cola. The ads use her sex appeal (we didn’t know there was much left now […]
