MagickMonkey Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 Ok, so I've drank a couple of beers and a whole lot of wine and feel like making a drunken rant about commercials and marketing. I hate seeing celebrities marketing shit. I try to convince my kids that such marketing is silly. At Target, today, I saw some shitty perfume with a picture of that Eva Longoria chick from Desparate Housewives on the box. I doubt she has any clue what the perfume smells like. Even if she does, why would anyone give a fucking rats ass about what she thinks smells good. Later tonight, my wife and I were watching "Brothers and Sisters" (which I FUCKING HATE btw). One commercial showed a scene of the Walkers as kids opening presents on Christmas morning. Then the commercial said some bullshit about making christmas great by buying bullshit from KMart. What the fuck does some dumbass TV show have to do with where I buy christmas presents or even if I choose to buy christmas presents at all. This commercial seemed SO FUCKING PATHETIC. Does this kind of marketing really work? Apparently it does, or companies wouldn't spend $$$ on this bullshit. Is the general public really that fucking stupid and pathetic??? Jesus fucking christ!!!!
Vendredie Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 You sure are coherent, for a drunken monkey I've come to the conclusion that commercials for certain companies/products are made by their competitors, because they repel customers, not attract them. Especially that one ad where that chick warbles "I've got a brand new pair of roller skates..." because that song is SO.FUCKING.ANNOYING. At least it's not as bad as that godsawful "Wee wee WEEEEEEEEEEEE" commercial. *stabs brain* and seriously, who shops at Kmart? it's shit.
MagickMonkey Posted November 8, 2010 Author Posted November 8, 2010 Yeah, every time I go to KMart, I remember why I go to Walmart instead. My wife likes the pig-going-"wheee" commercial. She even uses an audio clip of the "Wheeee" for a ring tone. I fucking hate it. I don't even remember what they are advertising. I like commercials with almost naked chicks, but such commercials have no impact on how I spend my $$$.
Overcame Faith Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 I like commercials with almost naked chicks, but such commercials have no impact on how I spend my $$$. With these commercials, who cares what they're selling.

With these commercials, who cares what they're selling. Yeah, I don't want to discourage such commercials, but they won't effect my spending habits.
par4dcourse Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 Yeah, I don't want to discourage such commercials, but they won't effect my spending habits. If they give the implication that almost naked chicks shop at Bed, Bath, and Behind I might be tempted to wander by. Have to settle for window shopping, though.
OpheliaGinger Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Companies know who they have as their target market and thus create commercials reflecting it. If Bed Bath and Beyond wanted to get target men, they would present bikini clad women having a water balloon fight while making up a bed, but strangely (psychologically) if a guns and ammo store wanted to attract women they wouldn't use a hot and chiseled man half naked man carrying a huge rifle, they would use a mother with a handgun protecting her family against an intruder of any animal kind (although, using a gun against an insect would be a tad bit of an overkill--honey, load up your rifle, there's a fly in the house).

I'll agree to spend $20 at BB&B if they make such a commercial. EDIT: I take that back. You can buy a decent amount of porn for $20.
