Bad Adverts

Lay's bought Walkers in the eighties I guess? Why does "Lay's" have an apostrephe and "Walkers" doesn't? Where's the brand continunity?
 
This is on the "lots of people seem to like it but I don't get it" list. I think it's supposed to be surreal?



Okay, first of all, why does the guy say "WHAT, YOU WANNA CHECK IT?" in such an aggressive, mocking way? Then there's the talking dog. Fine, it's trying to be weird, have a talking dog to draw attention to your credit score website, that's fine. But why does the woman say "aww, I love you too" when the guy is clearly talking to the dog? He ever says the dog's name "Moose." I assume the woman can't understand the dog, but can she also not hear what the guy says to the dog either? But then how does she hear the "I love you" part? IT'S TOO CONFUSING. HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW THE RULES OF THIS TALKING DOG REALITY?
 
I'm with you. It just doesn't make sense. I get the "it's so easy I can just do it straight away with a laptop and all that"

I don't get the dog (I know, lets do a cute thing)

The weird thing is, I did an ad with a stuffed squirrel in it. I didn't want the squirrel in it because it didn't make sense. It dropped a nut at the prices or something shit but it was just a bit superfluous. Anyway, they did it and it worked so what do I know?
 
You can't actually go wrong with squirrels. That's where the old advertising saying "shove a squirrel in it" comes from.
 
1. The young women in the Pringles commercial are ridiculously attractive. I'm actually angry -- there's no good reason for those young women to be that attractive. Maybe it's the incongruity of young women who are that healthy being that absurdly enthusiastic about junk food. Maybe that's what's causing it.

2. If a bitch ever rubbed her feet around on my head like that, I'd probably hit her with the laptop purely by reflex.

3. I really am a more-or-less awful person.
 
America saw Shawn Johnson's taco pop in various beaded costumes on Dancing with the Stars. Two different seasons.

Those two gymnast brothers obviously represent the Lollipop Guild.

Pringles are great for pot munchies, so I can see brad doing that ad. Also, those cans never really popped and they certainly don't now that the top seal is foil rather than metal.
 


Is this a bad advert or an awesome one?

The first part is on the tv all the time (it stops after they offer Chia Bernie and Chia Obama), I hadn't seen the last bit with all of Obama's accomplishments. NOW I WANT PRESIDENTIAL CHIA PETS!
 
^ That's an awesome one. I still have the Chia Obama I bought in 2008 but he needs more seeds or whatever that shit is. I wonder if they still sell them at Walgreens?
