If I haven’t said it before, I will now say it again - I am a huge fan of Skittles. I don’t know what channel it is that plays these commercials, but I must not get it and that makes me sad. This is yet another computer random and hilarious beyond belief skittles commercial. Also the prospect of a repair man leaving a little man dangling in your living room must be oddly reminiscent to many people of times in the past handy men have suggested crackpot ideas to them.

I enjoy that this commercial gets around the censors whom I feel are idiots as swearing is inevitable. At some point the country is going to have to drop a little bit of its belief that children need to be sheltered as much as it feels they do. Times are changing. The internet brings things to your fingertips that were never possible before with relative ease. Your child will read bad language. Your child will see naked people with or without blood involved. Your child will be approached by a stranger trying to solicit sex should you allow them in chat rooms. These are all just facts of the universe now and it’s up to you to talk to them about it.

“Eat all you want and don’t lose weight.
We couldn’t say it on TV if it wasn’t true.”
A bold claim to say the least. But hey, they have science to back it up. That science is of course television broadcasting. Much like the waves of energy that make up the internet, television beams (that’s what they use to transmit TV) are composed of nothing but truth. False ideas, statements, and opinions cannot exist on these magical beams and thus anything shown to you on TV or the web are inherently true. Based on this I have a short list of statements to make.

One two three four,
Please don’t play this song anymore.
Attention Apple: release more than one commercial for a new product at a time. Having to hear this song was endearing at first. It’s kind of catchy, really fits the commercial well, but over time becomes just plain annoying. Maybe have another with a little bit more of the song, you know, throw us a real curve ball. Really though we know how you operate by now. You put up a white background and take a kind of minimalist approach at advertisement. I don’t really mind that. You at least showcase your overpriced products well. Last I checked though you were making a killing in the portable audio player market. Do you really not have the cash to float a second commercial to help support your bread and butter? Read more »
(AP) Gainesville, Florida - Following the incident involving student Andrew Meyer jumping on stage, disturbing another students questions, speaking beyond his allotted time, and ultimately resisting the police and being “tased”; Gatorade has once again reached into it’s University of Florida roots for a brand new product: Gatorade “Chill the Fuck Out”. A part of the Gatorade Frost line of products, Gatorade “Chill the Fuck Out” (hereafter CFO) contains everything you’d expect in Gatorade as well as a small amount of Ketamine. For those of you who didn’t attend high school in the 1990’s, Ketamine is a drug often referred to as “Special K”. It is a dissociative anesthetic that is really meant for veterinary use, but often used in recreational manners by morons and frat boys nation wide. Read more »
Playstation 3 displays an amazing aptitude for interior design.
Lagging behind in sales, Sony has released this teaser/threat to it’s competitors of what it’s Playstation 3 is truly capable of: destructive and rapid interior redecorating. In an attempt to show the raw power the mysterious “cell processor” posses we have 25 seconds of complete predictability followed by an explosive and most unexpected result. Normally I am a very stoic person, but when that cube popped and the walls changed colors I giggled. Yes, giggled. Read more »
A load of lies from the major news sources. You call this naked?
This one is extremely hot off the presses. Sorry it’s only PG-13. And if someone finds an uncut version please let me know. Obviously this is going to turn into a pictorial recap rather quickly, as if you watched the commercial at all you would know it has very little in the way of actual content, but I felt like I should at least attempt to get out a few lines of text. Just a heads up folks, this is going to get graphic. Read more »
Don’t worry it’s not television. We won’t make you listen to the stupid ass whistling in back to back commercials here. In fact if you want you can just mute your sound now. You already know what they say in this anyhow.
This pisses me off. More than just that, it pisses me off more because I’m not sure who to be pissed at. Should I be mad at the company that keeps putting out commercials that differ from each other in content of footage only? Should I be mad at Bob for smiling and being such a fruitcake on a substance that just doesn’t work? How about the fact that they only gave me 2.4 seconds of “Bob relief” before his smiling face was splashed on my screen? Or better yet should I be disgusted at the consumer. After all they couldn’t possibly keep going with this theme if it weren’t working, could they? Read more »
I love Skittles so much that I might just let him touch me with that thing.
This short but sweet commercial inspires such a rapid myriad of emotions in me that I don’t quite know where to begin. I think the best way might be a little pictorial recap that I have created. Read more »
Well another full Saturday and Sunday have come and gone and I have yet to see Shawne Merriman appear in any airing of the Nike commercial that he was in just one week ago. The only thing I feel this can indicate is that Nike truly did get enough negative feedback to remove Shawne “Artificially” Merriman from the spot. We do appreciate the comments and emails from people that supported us in this campaign and I have a few that I’d like to share with you. Read more »
Where some car companies decide to advertise sleekness, we decided slutty would be our approach.
You might think I am about to rip this commercial, but you’d be wrong. I love it and I love it because Cadillac decided to drop both subtlety and the proverbial panties of Kate Walsh. She begins in a very typical monotone manner describing all these features that aren’t even the question anymore like a 40GB hard drive, an in dash nav system, or any other of a multitude of other features the average consumer still only dreams of having in their car. No, it’s not about any of these things, the real question is this:
When you turn on your car does it return the favor?
UPDATE: 9/22/07 - Sorry the video no longer works. Looks like someone is mad that youtube is giving them free promotion.
Now while I have to hand it to them for both pulling off less is more and mocking Macintosh in doing so there is no new news as far as Danny Devito being a pervert clown. Just look at the guy. The smile, the shifty eyes flitting from neckline to neckline, and of course his sort of “waddle walk” that makes you wonder where that last stick of butter really went. As early as 1976 Devito’s true inner perversion began to seep out in front of the camera. In fact his brief appearance in the classic movie Carwash had to be cut for decency reasons. Over the years Danny learned to reign it in, but it would appear the sexually charged atmosphere of his new show It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has finally lead him to crack. I’m a fan of the show, but please don’t smile at me like that ever again.
I have an idea for you PepsiCo - sell out more. First you raise your prices to $1.25 a 20 oz. bottle at the local vending machines because “you aren’t turning a high enough profit” and then this craptastic 30 second waste of my life. Then again this product does follow the Diet Pepsi Max trend of “more caffeine” so maybe they know something we don’t.
Before I go any further, let me start by saying two things. First this commercial was so uninspired that I was uninspired. So my apologies in advance for the contents of this post. Also my views on this product are immediately bias. I’m so sick and tired of hearing about Halo 3. Why pump up a game so much when it’s going to be just like every other Halo and less original than the recent masterpiece Bioshock. And yet at the end of the year when it’s time for GOTY awards, all we are going to be hearing is the fanboys in the streets chanting “Master Commander Rules!!!”. Read more »
I don’t want to shock anyone, but I am going to give this commercial props. It’s fantastic. From the get go you see the man with the milkers attached and you realize that this is going to be a work of sheer genius. Now the boss kind of throws out a downer to start when he asks:
New Delhi (AP) - Computer super power Dell has taken corporate sponsorship to the next level. Following in the proud tradition of the Coors Brewing Company, America West Airlines and RCA, Dell has decided to sponsor something on a much larger scale - a nation’s capital.
Pioneering the concept of putting your companies name on an arbitrary public attraction was America West Airlines in 1989. For a mere 26 million dollars AWA purchased a 20-year contract to have its name plastered all over the arena that houses the Phoenix Suns and Coyotes (NBA and NHL respectively). By all accounts this was a good deal. Less than a million dollars a year to have your name mentioned in every single televised home game for the two Phoenix franchises as well as the millions of faithful Phoenix fans and residents that pass by the arena every year. Compared to the 180 million paid by Royal Phillips Electronics to get their name onto the arena that houses the abysmally unexciting Atlanta Hawks and Thrashers (again NBA and NHL respectively) for 20 years, the AWA deal could be considered nothing less than a steal.
