Bad ad, bad ad…you’re a very bad ad

February 5, 2010 / Posted in Humor/Satire, Marketing/Advertising, Videos

The Super Bowl is just a short time away now (yeeehawww) and yet the ads have already begun to air.

Well, the banned ads anyway.  One of course makes the obligatory white-dudes-that-play-golf-have-their-head’s-up-their-rears reference. 

According to a post at mediabistro, KGB didn’t create the ad expecting it to be booted.  What do you think?  Offensive?  Funny?  Both?

As a side, is the blonde in the video Heather from Real Women Golf or just her doppelganger?

    Not as funny as “Tooth-Hurty”….

    Close, but Hubbie’s name isn’t Bob and he doesn’t wear knickers.

    I sure hope I’m funnier than that ad.

    Offensive only in that they use the word a$$.

    I liked the KGB ad, but understand why CBS would pull it. (at least the guy made the putt at the end). Unfortunately for KGB, they aren’t as well known…or as hot…as Go Daddy, who made an ad they knew wouldn’t be shown, then advertised at a much cheaper rate the fact that their commercial was rejected – getting more bang for their buck buying fewer Superbowl minutes.

    The one that got shown, but SHOULDN’T have been shown, was the Taco Bell ad with Charles Barkley. Yeesh was that bad. Ban that one just for lack of production value and the fact that it was just plain BAD !

    I guess I’m officially old… or overly-discerning or something… but I find the ad ugly and distasteful and unfunny. I have the same sentiment towards David Feherty and his litany of flatulence jokes.

    On the other hand I’ve been known to happily sing along with the outrageously profane, free-associative rhymes of ODB, so go figure.

    BTW, Heather is a freaking WORLD prettier then that woman.

    If nothing else…we can all agree on this – The Who sucked.

    whew – there’s an understatement. The Boss was as good as it will get because his music is still alive. Getting two members of The Who and dragging them out of some retirement home wasn’t a good idea. Half of the music was on tracks and Daltry’s voice is shot.

    Next year…Cirque du Soleil !! They can be set up and done in 15 minutes – not 31 minutes like this year.
