  • Commercial Content

    A while back Dan Stokes pointed out the Viagra commercial where the man of the hour got his horse out of the trailer to pull his truck and horse trailer out of the only mud hole as far as the eye could see, and why didn't he just put the truck into 4WD and drive out of it?

    Along those lines, what about the car battery commercial where the dude is watching over the second story rail as a car comes sliding down the hill on the ice hitting everything on the street. And then the guy realizes his clunker is parked at the end of the street in the path....so he gallops and runs and jumps in sneakers, (car won't start when he gets to it, of course) and....did HE slip or fall down on the ice?

    And the Ole Lantern or whatever it is, the LED light that looks like an old oil lantern. There's Granny and PawPaw together at the stove top putting the spaghetti noodles in the pot exactly when the power goes off. Bummer. Not to worry, we have the Ole Lantern to save the day. They light up the scene and keep right on cooking supper. On an electric stove top.

      I was just thinking of the 80s subaru commercials in new england..
      my moms boyfriend laughed quite hard..I was maybe 11.

      the commercial shows them plowing instead of steering, pretending to have big power.
      the first year of the ea82 engine.

      I only went onto feel bad. they runted a giant, and then showed everybody they did...a most bizarre product in history. no one goes that direction....nobody.

        Ad executives/producers are really just politicians with ambition.

          I don't know whether the advertising agency folks are complete idiots, or whether they think the general public is.
          Maybe both.
          Either way, commercials are as about as intelligent as 95 percent of the crap on TV.
