The matrix comerical for poweraid is really stupid. Everytime I see that comercial I want to see the matrix less and less. When comparing the matrix poweraid comercial to the x-men dr. pepper comercial the poweraid comercial is even more stupid. The x-men dr. pepper comercial is really funny.
So on to the topic of comercials and endorsing products what are some of the best or worst you have seen? I think the new fruity wolverine blizzard is really funny. Here we have the most manly character from x-men endorsing the most girly fruity blizzard from dairy queen. Another really stupid comercial is the new rebok comercial with the guy all dressed in white who spills jelly doughnut on his white shoe. The guy is so stupid that instead of just cleaning his shoe he has to go buy a new pair of shoes. Are all people who thus buy reboks idiots? Anyways any stupid or really good comercials grab your attention? |

I actually like the matrix/poweraid commercial. I haven't seen any of the X-men commercials; What channel were they on? Have you seen the Matrix/Heiniken commercial? Now that's awful.
As for that Reebok one, that is seriously messed up. I think the message is: "Rich jackasses who can afford to burn money like Reeboks, so you should too." No wonder Nike sells more. |

I guess the reason the poweraid comercial bugs me so much is that I have only seen it in the theaters during the comercials before the previews. I hate paying for comercials.
I havn't seen the heiniken comercial as for the x-men comercials I think I saw the Dr. Pepper one on comedy central and I dont remember where I saw the dairy queen one, probably during some kids cartoon (Being an illustrator I watch cartoons all the time). Another really dumb comercials were the old toyota comercials that said "It looks fast", I always wondered why does that matter? I've seen lots of cars that look fast or good and drive like shit. |

I really hate that power aide commercial. I also think that paying to see a movie should exempt one from paid advertising other than coming attractions. I love trailers, they are becoming an artform unto themselves. Which can be attested to by the fact that some trailers are better than the films they advertise. (which might have to do with the length)
