What's the deal with the interest in Super Bowl commercials?

[The Mad Monk]

I'd actually agree with you if even half of these piece of **** ads actually provided any useful information about their goods or services. How the **** is Jay Leno in a jetpack telling off Jerry Seinfeld supposed to tell me about the quality of an Acura?

they're both BIG collectors of quality cars, and they're competing for the right to the first of this model.

[Al B. Sure!]

As with most things, you have no clue what you are talking about.
Your stolen theory of institutionalization is just that... a theory, and a bad one at that.
And if you see marketing/advertising as a waste of resources, then you really are showing how stupid you are.
But that's really no surprise, since you continue to prove your lack of knowledge with just about every post you make.

By the way... how's the girl friend hunt going?

You sound like Slowwhand. Whatever, old man. Insult me all you want instead of discussing things.


For those who aren't asses: it was Carroll Quigley who I was thinking of and slightly modifying his theory from "The Evolution of Civilizations".

[SlowwHand]

Ming sounds like me. I'm sure you've pissed him off deluxe now.

There's definitely some truth to that, Alby. And if people don't remember the product, it is by definition bad advertising.

That was definitely the problem with the Ferris Bueller spot. But it was entertaining.

Actually if you replay the Ferris commercial again you'll see that they show the car or him in it over a dozen times, and doing a close up on the model name or the Honda logo quite a few times.
Unlike other adds, they went out of their way to show the product and I had no problems remembering it.

[-Jrabbit]

It could be that because I just bought a car, I didn't really pay much attention to the vehicle. I was just into the Ferris Bueller references. Although I do fear that my failure to buy a Chrysler product might bring a pissed-off Clint Eastwood to my door...

It was nice to see the auto category dominating the ads this year. Seems like the industry is pretty healthy now.

[rah]

Yep, my car is on it's final legs so maybe that made me more observant. But even the first time I saw the ad, I was impressed how much they actually showed the product considering the theme. It was interesting that the guy that ripped it, didn't get a lot of the original movie references which led him to believe it wasn't funny.

You sound like Slowwhand. Whatever, old man. Insult me all you want instead of discussing things.

What's to discuss... you just make stuff up that's full of crap. You're theory doesn't even make sense.

For those who aren't asses: it was Carroll Quigley who I was thinking of and slightly modifying his theory from "The Evolution of Civilizations".

Maybe next time, you might actually think for yourself and see that it doesn't apply.
But go ahead and continue thinking it's a waste of resources.
Maybe you should learn how to market/advertise yourself so you don't have to pay a girl to spend time with you.

[Al B. Sure!]

You know Carroll Quigley made the point that those within and who profit by the institution will always defend it...

[Wezil]

I'm with you Al. I think marketing/advertising is a soulless business.

Then again, I work in law so I can't press the point too strongly. Glass houses and all.

[Imran Siddiqui]

You know Carroll Quigley made the point that those within and who profit by the institution will always defend it...

You mean like you and Filthadelphia?

[Wezil]

That's not fair. Nobody profits from Filthadelphia.

[Dinner]

I liked the Chrysler commercial with Clint Eastwood.

[Ming]

You know Carroll Quigley made the point that those within and who profit by the institution will always defend it...

Gee... so anybody that defends industries that makes a profit are part or your sorry ass "institutions"... try to actually think next time.
Or maybe you should just spend your time paying woman to hang with you...

[DaShi]

Yeah, that one was amusing, especially the line about the ford owner.

I thought it was good until the ford mention, which made it look petty.

[Thorn]

Albie, you don't come in insulting a persons occupation then complain that they don't know anything about it and are being mean.
