Who am I to argue with Dick Clark, but nobody ever actually drank hot Dr. Pepper in real life, did they? Please tell me nobody ever did that. It cannot possibly be a thing that ever caught on outside of maybe a mental institute or two. It just can’t. Barfity barf barf.

Nobody Likes An Hour Long Advertisement, YouTube
I went off about this long ass ads on YouTube business at least once before, but I’m going to need to do it again here because holy shit, these people just set some new standards. Thankfully I can skip ads now unlike seven years ago when that was written. If I couldn’t, this post would […]
New Species?
I keep seeing the ads for A&W’s Wild-Caught Cod Burger. I find them interesting, because until they came along I had no idea there were cod burgers in the wild.
A Punk Compilation With No Punk Songs ON It! Order Now!
I first saw this commercial with no context beyond ha ha, look at this silly ass punk album that doesn’t have any punk songs on it. And while yes, it’s amusing enough that way, I’d love to know how this happened. How did we get all the way to the point of this going to […]
What Matters Most, What Makes Us Whole, Is Knowing Who Is Annoying The Hell Out Of Us This Christmas
This friggin commercial drove me batty this Christmas season. and not for the reason you’re probably thinking, that it ran six jillion times an hour, especially on certain channels. No, it’s for these three reasons. First, I had no idea what it was for. This happens more times these days than I’d like. I’d like […]
Bend Time For A Better Sleep
I’m starting to get irritated by the Casper mattress commercial. “Try it today for 100 nights risk free,” it says. How? I can do one or the other, but not both. That’s not how time works. How about “order today and try it for 100 nights risk free?” Is this really that hard?
Nobody Honestly Thinks Eggs For Dinner Is Weird, Do They?
I don’t understand the “eggs for dinner isn’t weird, you’re weird for thinking it’s weird” commercials. Is eggs for dinner really a weird thing? I know tons of people who do that, and most of them are pretty normal. If eggs for dinner is weird, why do so many restaurants serve all day breakfast? I […]
Where The Fake Celebrity Ads Come From And How They Work
Perhaps you remember me writing about those damn fake celebrity endorsements that were constantly popping up here and pretty well everywhere else on the internet for a while. If you do, chances are you may be interested in this long article about Ads Inc., one of the companies seemingly responsible for a lot of them. […]
You’re Spelling Out The Wrong Word, Guys
Question for whomever wrote those ZipRecruiter commercials on the radio: The part where you give out the special web address ZipRecruiter.com/canada and then have the voice guy spell out the word Canada, who is that for, exactly? We’re in Canada. Anyone in a position to need that address is probably going to know how to […]
Complete + Wrong
Not sure if the ad on TV for Buckley’s Complete + Mucus bothers anyone else, but it’s been bugging the heck out of me. The name of the product doesn’t make any sense. If something is complete, it’s done. The minute you have to add a +, it’s no longer complete and the thing you’ve […]
