Commercial Sift

Commercials, advertisements, and everything about someone trying to gain money, to sell crap, to get discounts, to promote things, and so on.

Logo is from Jennifer Government by Max Barry, which is a GREAT modern-cyberpunk book about corporations which all of you should really buy. Really, do yourself this favour.


Second Round of VideoSift t-shirts
posted by RhesusMonk 1 week ago • 133 views
I was just perusing Eric3579's recent MeatSpace meets VideoSift post, and, after following the links, I found this video. I want one.

I was going to post this to Dag's profile, but I figured many of you out there might want one, too. So, make your voices heard and maybe the volume might pique Dag's intere$t.

It seems there was some kind of copyright thing that made the last round fail, but I believe we have a pretty ridiculous pool of creative people who could generate a sweet--copyright friendly--graphic.

I would wear the shit out of a VS t-shirt, and I think others would, too.

Does that "PSSSST" sidebar ad annoy the hell out of you too?
posted by calvados 1 week 6 days ago • 159 views
You know the one, here on the Sift, it's for a dating site or somesuch -- a blonde woman whispering in the ear of a brunette. The brunette's upturned bovine gaze, her toothily gorming mouth -- fuck. Drives me nuts. That is all.

"The Times is reporting today that this year's crop of crazy expensive Super Bowl ads is going to be tamer than usual. Basically babies talking on webcams. Awesome. This got me thinking about Super Bowl commercials that were actually memorable, and after some searching I put together this list of 25 (after the jump.) Once you've watched all these you and that chick at your party who doesn't give a sh*t about football will have something to talk about..."

For the Person Who Has Everything...

Gold Pill makes your poop glitter for Just $425

From: dvice.com [click for picture]

If you've got so much money that you're just looking for new ways to waste it, Tobias Wong and Ju$t Another Rich Kid created the Gold Pill for you. It's a pill dipped in gold and filled with 24-karat gold leaf. You're supposed to eat it "to increase your self-worth." That would be funny if it didn't cost $425 for the joke. Supposedly an added benefit is that it will make your poop sparkle, but no one seems to have proven that part yet (and if you do, please don't send us the pictures). This is either genius social commentary or a brilliant way to bilk rich people out of their money. If Wong's name sounds familiar, it's probably because he also created the $2,000 ccPhone.

Commercial of the weac #3: the old and the new
posted by looris 7 months 2 weeks ago • 216 views
Hereby I present you two commercials that definitly deserve more attention:

Mr. Whipple Charmin Commercials: a vintage weird commercial about people who can't resist toilet paper. Vintage commercials are important, don't understimate them!

and also

Gucci by Gucci (parfume commercial by David Lynch): a very artistic commercial about a parfume. Parfume commercials are often well above the average. What average, I don't know.


Commercial of the weac #2: it's fun, it's ironic, it's Bud!
posted by looris 7 months 3 weeks ago • 228 views
I hereby nominate "Headless Horseman (Bud Light)" commercial of the weac.

Go on, vote it, hurry before time's up!




Commercial of the weac #1
posted by looris 7 months 4 weeks ago • 258 views
I've decided that some commercial clips need more promotion, and that I am the user entitled to do that.

So I'll start here the "Commercial of the weac" series, posting here in the Commercial Talk links to our videos who need to get some attention.

I've called it "weac" instead of "weak" because I'm not really sure I'll do it once a weak, I'll probably be pretty random.

This weac: Razr Sharp 2, by Motorola, a great bizarre action commercial involving cellphones and a great and appropriate soundtrack.
