What person on this planet would choose a Mac when Patrick Warburton is selling you a PC. Basically this commercial says that Mac’s never get viruses, which clearly is a lie. So if you don’t want this voice over celeb to be your salesmen buy this piece of crap that no software runs on. These commercials are still reaching out to people who will never have any use for a Mac. Unless you are editing video, pictures, etc… don’t waste your time.
Ads that suck are back! Well sort of… This is what we call an amazing commercial. While you can only hope a product such as the Comfort Wipe does not physically exist, it ever so awkwardly does.
There is generally nothing ok about this commercial, but there is no hidden messages and their power selling ability is seriously lacking. Come on infomercial directors where is your Vince Shlomi (Sham Wow guy), oops too soon?
Check it out… and if you buy this you most likely own a snuggie:
Comfort Wipe, never again will you dirty your hands.
The EFM web site has finally been updated. While there may not be to much on it, the main goal of the site is to provide EFM with a service listing and portfolio of our professionally published work. EvO is diligently looking for a Washington DC Communications job so that he may properly fund Play This once again.
Although Play This had originally intended on posting the Top 10 ads for Superbowl 43, the ads were generally poor and scaled back to the top 5. We also realize that many companies are having to scale back the production value of these ads and while some of them were still humors it’s been years since we have seen a truly original and great Superbowl ad.
Also be sure to check out our Ads that Suck section for the worst ads for this years game.
For those who do not have Direct TV, there is a good chance that you are bombarded by the network based commercials from Direct TV featuring the worst impressionist, Frank Caliendo. His show has not only received some of the worst reviews, TBS refuses to let it go, probably as a result of only paying him in food.
Here is an elongated version of his version of Seinfeld.
Clearly this fat bastard type man, is much to large to pose as any character on that sitcom except for George, but his impression on him is terrible! How can you also pose as Kramer and try to wig out like him while being so fat? It just doesn’t work. These ads from Direct TV show that they only have a terrible choice in humor. The best commercials use elaborate subconscious messages to peak the minds of their customer and consumers. Most of the time if you see something in an ad, unless you really like it you will ignore it, but those subliminal messages stick with you whether you know it or not.
The only thing these commercials make you feel is annoyance and the need to work out. By being so annoying often do things stick or stay in your mind; however, this just makes you want to slap Frank. Nothing great has ever come from MADtv. It’s just a matter of time before they go online and stay there.
Ads that suck is a new feature for Play This magazine, we will be explaining to you what parts of an ad really do have an affect on you and how to avoid getting sucked into them. – Play This magazine staff
