I mean, they try so hard, but never seem to get any sort of reaction from me.

On the way to work, I heard that stupid Pepsi Disclaimer commercial.

"Pepsi tastes better when your naked!

DISCLAIMER!

PEPSI DOES NOT TASTE BETTER WHEN YOUR NAKED!"

Who the hell comes up with this bullshit. It doesn't make me want your product any more, in fact, now that your commercials are so shitty, I probably won't be purchasing your product.

 

[AtomicShroom]

Directly, no. But indirectly, you just proved that their commercial worked exactly the way they intended: You remembered the brand. You told other people about it, thus passing it on. Those people will remember the brand too.

Commercials work whether you think so or not. Companies invest billions after billions in publicity. If it didn't work, why would they bother? It works extremely well at building brand awareness, even if it doesn't make you run out to buy said product.

If I ever have to market a product, its just going to be me screaming the name of the product over and over again for 30 seconds.

Too late, you're already a pawn. You're giving Pepsi more name recognition.

Pepsi win.

Rant fail.

Actually I'm fairly sure that would work quite well.

That is, until radio host goes "I'm f*cking sick of hearing that commercial. I don't give a shit what management says, take that tape and throw it out the f*cking window!". True story of what happened on radio here about a commercial that was similar in nature.

That's basically what HeadOn did. The rest is history.

I'll have to try that one day.

Yeah. Take a marketing class and you'll see some of the most bizarre logic ever. It's breathtaking!

The crazy thing about advertising is those "what happens next" commercials. I'm not sure if that's what it's called, but isn't the campaign like - "click on this website and find out what we're advertising and the end of this commercial/story" - I've never spent the time to click, but to me it seems like it's just an ad for an ad. I have no clue "what happens next," but I do know that "campaign" and I assume that it just works to promote the ad company that thought it up more than the actual ads themselves.

I HATE THOSE RADIO COMMERCIALS WITH HORNS OR CAR CRASHING SOUNDS IT MAKES ME WANT TO FREAK OUT THEY SHOULD BE BANNED IMO

 

[the•rebel]

I rarely listen to the radio, but the only radio commercials I look foward to are the "Real Men of Genius" skits.

Real Men of Genius

 

[Awesomated]

The day commercial radio dies cannot come soon enough.

Absolutely. Before this thread, I had no idea what a "Pepsi" was.

 

[bjork]

That commercial is inaccurate anyway. Pepsi is delicious while clothed, but positively arousing whilst naked.

Oh dude. We get those "We have a dangerous blizzard watch in effect..." and then goes into a ****ing tire commercial. Considering I'm often driving in heavy snow when I heard this commercial, it pissed me off even the more.

Used car commercials and DJ endorsed products are the main reasons I switched to satellite.

 

[Tarazet]

I just jam my finger into the radio's power button whenever I hear an ad and turn it on again three minutes later. Or put on a CD.
