Residents of St. Louis love their Cardinals and their Blues. Unfortunately, in order to follow their favorite teams they also have to subject themselves to Vinson Mortgage Group's horrific set of commercials that continually plague St. Louis airwaves. Above you'll find one example of what the Vinsons churn out on a regular basis. Here the […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v= USHZZ5bwASU[/youtube] Just when we think ESPN can't possibly get more creative with their This is SportsCenter commercials, they deliver what can be considered one of the best yet. This edition follows John Clayton after an appearance on the show. After the cameras stop rolling he is shown wearing a suit from the waist up. […]
Hunter Pence was traded from Philadelphia to San Francisco at the trade deadline this year… which is a real shame because we sadly won't be seeing more of these wonderful Liscio's Bakery ads Pence filmed in Philly. These local ads are often a gold mine of unintentional comedy. Pence is a good player, but maybe […]

You may be one of the millions of people who are under the impression that those little white flakes come from a dry, itchy scalp. Not the case, my friends! So where does it […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v= dy7bv712E6Y[/youtube] In this day and age, more and more states are enacting laws that prohibit us from texting while driving. In California, you cannot even be talking on your cell phone. Why? Because it distracts the driver from the task at hand and puts themselves, and other motorists, at a higher risk for accident. […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v= k7eGINFXp5s[/youtube] Dodge has really sunk to a new low. Flowers? Time machines? There is no place in time that this car would look remotely good, at least from what I saw on this commercial. Dodge claims this is how you build a hi-tech car…Unfortunately all they said about the car itself is that is […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=JWD0wUmO8jk A scarred child, a creepy soundtrack and Ragu – three ingredients for a commercial that left us feeling dirty after we watched it. Little Billy (a name we made up) wanders up the stairs searching for his mom. Judging by the book under his arm, Billy needs some help on his homework. He opens […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v= 2WD3QrhqyY0[/youtube] At least I think that is the premise of the commercial. See, being a male, I have watched it multiple times and every time I see Underwood's stomach I start thinking about body shots and lose all train of thought. Carl's Jr has stayed true to its roots on this one. They know […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v= 0jQZ9pKzcCY[/youtube] Old Spice is rolling out a new NFL marketing campaign centered around their new lineup, the Old Spice Champion Scent. The commercial features Green Bay Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings as the new "Old Spice Guy" and is stupid to say the least. These commercials used to make me laugh but when I […]
For the NFL season, Corona is using Jon Gruden for an entire battery of commercials furthering the brand's "Find Your Beach" theme. The endgame here is a sweepstakes for a trip to one of Gruden's football destinations, which feature some… well.. unique ads themselves. Throughout the introductory ad below, Gruden looks and sounds like he […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v= Es1ayUp12sw[/youtube] UGG is back with their poster boy Tom Brady in a new spot set to revitalize the company's mens line. Brady got a lot of flack when he was tapped as the spokesman for UGG but has been a good sport through all the ribbing. In this new commercial, Brady is walking through […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v= SGDpzWyM7Z0[/youtube] On Saturday, Aflac rolled out its 55th commercial featuring their beloved Aflac Duck. The new ad campaign is promoting Aflac's second year as the Heisman Trophy sponsor. This, paired with the Aflac Trivia during game broadcast, positions Aflac securely in the college football world. The duck getting hurt wins again. They use basically […]

If you take the time to read "Those Guys Have All The Fun", the oral history chronicling ESPN's rise to dominance, surprisingly one of the 9 key steps to their success includes the success of the "This Is SportsCenter" commercials. ESPN's advertising over the years has stayed consistently high quality and focused on whatever they […]
