Commercials…Ah Not Again!
Commercials ….Love them or hate them, they are right at your face 24/7. What’s more annoying is that most of the commercials are plain dumb. Let us ask you if you knew what Red Bull energy drink does to you? If you didn’t know, here’s what it does. It gives you WINGS! At least that’s what we thought after watching the commercial. After drinking Red Bull the man grew a pair of wings…how lame is that! We did try out but failed to get one. Ok enough of this crap…. we got it.
Some of the commercials are so hilarious and stupid. Actually all are but nonetheless they give you a good laugh. And sometimes the captions or the slogans as they call it, of these companies are even more funny. To add to it they make some crazy ads. One of Microsoft’s commercial wanted to show viewers how secure Windows is (which is an obvious joke in itself)…so what’s funny about this? Hey, hang on….the funny part is that the man in the ad is unable to take off his wife’s bra. What the hell was that? Security? That’s like not allowing the authorized person to use it …knuckleheads, we are talking about Windows. If that made you believe that Microsoft makes some cool secure digital bra’s, you are absolutely wrong. Believe it, they are only talking about how secure their operating system is. We don’t really see how these two relates. May be Microsoft has plans to work on operating systems for bra. Hmmm…if that’s gonna happen then the day is not far when Apple launches an iBra….cool eh?
Apart from stupid ads, we do have commercials which take a dig at their rival companies. It’s kind of funny to watch the creative geniuses work on such a concept (at least we get a good laugh). It looks like every other company in this world is making commercials to blow their own trumpet, however, none of them are anywhere near to the product that they sell. Looks like either the ad agencies have some of the dumbest people or these companies have exhausted their thinking abilities.
Let take a look at some of the captions …Airbus — ‘setting the standards’. Does that mean we have to accept whatever standard they set? Amazon — ‘..and you’re done’ – yeah, right…I’m done buying from Amazon. Nike –’Just do it’. Do what? After watching some of the banned commercials and the ‘Just do it’ part in the end, we thought they were referring to having SEX wearing Nike shoes! We all pay to watch these commercials (yea…thats the sad truth) so don’t we have the right to enjoy it? Wonder if thats the thought behind making such dumb ads.

this is hillarious and yeah very true. creativity has taken a back side. the only ad which i admire is the vodafone pug one, which had conveyed a message otherwise talking abt microsoft, levis, calvin klein . it seems that creativity has died and now everything you can do is show a sexy body

I’m kind of lucky being in the UK, the BBC has no commercials so you can switch over to BBC and wait for the ads to end on the movie/TV show you’re watching on ITV or whatever.

I wonder if they will ever make commercials that actually are trying to sell products that improve the quality of people’s lives rather than trying to promote some fad.
