I don't care about profanity in commercials, but those mountain dew goat ones are just stupid. Nobody can top Old spice, really.

You rewound the commercial and watched it again when most are dying to get people to even watch them once. Mission accomplished.

I can't use razors, and I only get shaved at the barber once a month cuz my skin breaks out so easily.

So joke's on them!

Did Pepsi actually take down the third video for copy write violation? Really? Nobody likes free advertisement anymore?

Damn that quick?

I originally had another link that got taken down, along with two others.

The feminists are after them though.

I was watching Sportscenter this morning before work and at one point, a Comcast commercial aired featuring clips from that show "The Americans," and in the clips on the commercial, a character said "Goddamn it." Kinda shocked me.

But then you talked about it with people on a forum and maybe in real life too. They still win :(

That's my problem. Why use profanity if you're just going to bleep it/mute it. There was a Jack in the Box commercial for a hamburger (I think), getting all these 'cool' people's reaction to the burger. One guy says (if I'm remembering correctly) "This is delicious as hell" with 'hell' bleeped. I thought that was so stupid.

this is arguable. i'd say that heinz tomato ketchup was the true progenitor in the late 90's/early 2000's, but their short-lived campaign was more surrealist and more something that could be considered "art" and also "beautiful".

They're snatching every version of this off youtube minutes after it goes up.

On some 1984 shit, like it never existed.

Kind of bull that Youtube is actually acting like it's a copyright/piracy issue.
