minervadoe Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 IMHO, Commercials work better when they are funny. Otherwise, they do not get my attention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Britain tv is (was?) taxed in Britain. No commercials. So, advertisers made their commercials brilliantly hilarious (and uncensored sexy, and violence depicted). They'd make blocks of commercials and show them in the afternoons with the soap operas. Lots of people intentionally watched them. (bewbies on their regular tv was very common) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conversely, I'm pretty sure I can raise my wife's blood pressure if I play it two or three more times. Uh oh, she's fighting back. She's playing some opera.... I do not like opera. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Spicoli Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Kinda related but not - just read a story in business insider where this will be the first year ever none of the big 3 automakers will have a commercial during the Superbowl. They cited the downward changing US auto market, particularly EVs. What a bunch of maroons. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodge isn't going to participate in the auto show this year and cited the same reasons. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
