| To be fair, some commercials are fun to watch, and I've been known to actually not skip them and watch them. If advertisers made commercials worth watch, more people would watch them instead of skip them.

Ahhh, contrare Mactron. The most successful ads ARE the ones that annoy you. I would speak of local ads but most people here wouldn't get it.. so lets take the Head-On product. Not only was it simple, stupid, and the worst production ever made, it got EVERYONE talking about it.. it got free press, it got into the news cycles and they sold millions of that "we can't tell you if it really works or not" product.
Point in case - the ad one one of THE most successes in American television, the firm that made it got rich, and people bought the crap by the train-loads.
Some of the more vocal people here do not make up what is the group of idiot consumers that eat that kinda stuff up. |

The most successful ads sell product. Whether they get free press, annoy people or are generally stupid can be at odds with that. Some of the most memorable, famous television ads did nothing to sell the product.
So I'd like to see some actual stats for that ad you cite, because I doubt your claim. |

| You can doubt all you want, and google is still your best friend. If you knew anything about advertising, you'd not be posting your message. (But, you seem to be an expert on every subject you speak of.)
There are plenty of documented facts on what a successful ad is to which you are more than welcome to spend your own time looking up to disprove me, and the entire industry.
Why don't you start with the very ad we're talking about. Second, look into the history of tacky ads.. I don't know about when you grew up, but I'm not going to do your home work. |
