    No it isnt, Coka-Cola is. And shouldn't it be "Its The Cola" since its reffering to a singular object thingie?

    When was the last time you WANTED to see a car commercial? Why can't they ever show cool cars? Why do they keep making the same type of crap?

    1. is perfectly corret to me as well.

    2. They're trying to appeal to little kids for Ghoulies or whatever that stupid game is...swearing in a commercial for a game sortof directed at people under 14 doesn't work well.

    3. Same as that guy above said.

    4. It's the Cola is correct, "It is the cola [you want to drink/buy/kill yourself with]). Coca-Cola and Pepsi fighting for the dominance of the cola market is actually a good thing. So, just drink the one you like (just don't watch EITHER company's commercials), because they make your soda cheaper...there's no monopoly.
    (still a stupid slogan)

    5. I don't get car commercials either. If I'm going to buy a car, I'm going to research it. I'm not going to see a Honda commercial with people dancing around in it and be like, " Hey, they're having fun...I should buy a Honda to have fun too!"....that's retarded. Anyone that thinks that is: retarded; to poor to afford a new car.


    Old Navy:
    Those are really annoying me. Craptastic music, mixed with craptastic models, mixed with craptastic coloring mix for the stupidest, most annoying POS ever.

    Especially the lyric: "We got so many colors, we so unique!"
    WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?
    "<b>WE</b> got so many colors, <b>WE</b> so <b>UNIQUE</b>!" That's a retarded line and an oxymoron...if you're a group you can't be unique....that's wrong on so many levels <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> .

    Stupid Old Navy. I almost, ALMOST prefer that stupid lady with big glasses to these. Those were annoying as hell too.

    I personally am really fatigued with movie advertisements. I think The Missing did it best (for the most part). Have some text run across the scene to intrigue, show the faces of the stars acting in the film, show the release date, and then finally, the credits.

    The way most movies are shown, one can gather most of the plot from the advertisements (although A Beautiful Mind wasn't that way). I want to find out more (just a little more) of the plot to a movie by being forced to view a review or website. And please, PLEASE don't give away big clues on websites - A Bourne Identity gave away the fact that he was an assassin IN THE WEBSITE! That would be like going to The Sixth Sense's website and seeing "MALCOLM IS DEAD" flash across the screen!

    I think the clips for Independence Day back during the Superbowl were great. They showed the White House exploding, and then ID4. That's it. It intrigued me. I wanted to know more. I had to know more.

    But to display the entire movie in a thirty second sound byte by cutting up scenes and hastily splicing them together...? No thank you.

    The previews for Independance Day were the best. Ever. They didn't show any aliens, any of the ships. I had no idea even what it was about when I watched it. Even the posters were vague. All of a sudden theres aliens, and spaceships flying all around, totally unexpected and twice as exciting. Maybe one of the last good old fashion summer blockbusters.

    I also liked the first trailer for Hulk. That was awsome seeing the side of that house explode.

    All of the above.

    However, I absolutely *LOVE* the whole "I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance" bit. Not for the commercials, but because I commonly use them when being a ****. :D

    Some beer comercials are kind of annoying in how they advertise hot chicks and say u will have them. I also hate this one commercial around my place.. "Home Hardware, help is close to home..." The thing is: I haven't seen a single home hardware in my city. Or how about the sleep matress one. "Sleep matress Canada, why buy a matress anywhere else.. LALALA" And even more annoying.."United Furniture..WHAREHOUSE..." Of course these are all songs...AHHHHHIIEEEE

    They actually don't SAY that. They kind of suggest it. I've been seeing alot more beer commercials that are selling the image of having fun with "the guys" lately though. It's weird.


    I really like the Sam Adams beer commercials. The beer isn't bad itself. Or the kokanee bear commercials...actually beer commercials ROCK!

    I hate hearing that when I decide to play any games made by EA

    sort of off topic, but there's a starburst commercial I actually like -- the one with all the whistling... I find it comparatively aesthetic. Also there was another really aesthetic one for a brand of backpacks, with a rendition of "Do, a deer..." Great cinematography...

    Relax, we can say what we want on the commercials/ads we hated. Maybe you should go about 5000% more harsh on that commercial


    I really don't have a least favorite ad (excluding mcdonalds) but if you live in Miami, you will understand this one.

    *takes a deep breath*

    *at the top of lungs* I freaking HATE THOSE MOTHERFUCKING MAROONE COMMERCIALS! THEY THINK THEY ARE SO freaking COOL JUST FOR ADVERTISING WITH THE GHOSTBUSTERS SONG! I freaking HATE THEM AND THEY SHOULD freaking BURN IN HELL! WHY THE **** DO WE GIVE A **** ABOUT YOUR GOOD OFFERS AND YOUR GHOSTBUSTERS HORSESHIT! MAROONE CAN GO **** THEMSELVES!
