GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR



The following  2 television advertisements piss me off. 

But Why Shawn?
Why would you be pissed off at TV commercials?

I am pissed off because the songs in these commercials get stuck in my head.

But Shawn, you love the Dixie Plate Commericial.

Yes I do. But that jingle was good! It is great. Sung well. Recorded well. Produced Well.

These 2 "jingles" are so bad,  they actually work so well...
 and I HATE IT!

While I am trying to sleep. When I wake up. In the shower. At Work!!
EVEN WALKING DOWN THE FRIGGIN STREET!!!!!

These terrible "jingles" are stuck in my brain!
They are driving me insane.

Target




Damn you Target. I actually like your 2nd Grade Teacher Ad. 
So you're not all bad. But still annoying like randomly ringing church bells on Friday mornings.

Resolve



This is so bad. so so so so bad. Who in the hell gave the go to this commercial. It is terrible.
Editing. Sound. Did an intern make this?
Please lick the floor of the restroom.
You guys get out stains, so stick to that.
Because it's obvious you don't know how to make a television commercial without being lame and annoying.

Moving on.

Shame on your advertising department Target and Resolve.
Shame on you for creating such perfect brain melting atrociousness. 
You are On my List of 100 People / Groups of People I wanna slap in the face.




Addendum by Marine: I thought it would be appropriate to add that there's one commercial on my can't-stand-it list and it's that Old Navy commercial for the long and lean flares. The song gets stuck in my head All.The.Time. Also, the commercial doesn't make any sense! Why are they bowling in platform shoes?! They're going to hurt themselves! Then it won't matter how 'long' and 'lean' their legs look in their jeans, because they'll be on the ground, and their jeans will probably be ripped. That's all.

Pepsi vs. Coke

When I first saw a clip of this ad on Facebook, I wondered if Pepsi was just ripping off the classic Coke Polar Bear Commercials. 

But it seems that Pepsi is straight up mocking Coke. 
Pepsi is using Coke's classic winter / Christmas theme adds and twisting them around to make Pepsi the soda of the summer.

This is the best example of a company using another companies "branding" and using it against them.

I love these types of battles between two parties. 
The only other adds I love like this are political adds during election season.

Here are two of the new Pepsi adverts. Which I find cheerfully funny.

Introducing Uncle Teddy and the Party Gang



and this is the Pepsi advert featuring Santa, which I found slightly funny.
Santa is on vacation and he's being naughty!




I am giving an A+ rating to the marketing guys at Pepsi for coming up with this one.

Pepsi just became the official soft drink of the summer.

Pepsi Time IS Summer Time.

What you think about that Coke?

Your move marketing guys.


p.s. - I love both Coke and Pepsi. It depends on my mood, the day, and what I am eating or drinking at the time. 
But sometimes I like Pepsi. and sometimes I like Coke. 
They are both great tasting Soda Beverages and both have their moments in my thirst quenching activities.
