Terrible Commercials
« on: October 07, 2009, 03:47:21 am »
I unfortunately do not have a video for this one, but let me try to explain it a bit.

Most of it is basically standard fare, a commercial for a system that allows you to use your cellphone to call a computer in your house that's hooked up to a computer driven deadbolt in your door, such that you can unlock it if you forget your keys.

Not really that interesting of a commercial until the very, very end, just as the commercial fades to black and your turning your attention away. It isn't really over. Audio kicks in.

I mean, they don't even bother to dress up such a flagrant attempt at subliminal messaging. Do they really think that anyone is going to believe that that line is actually a voice in their head, and not coming from the TV?

This had better be directed at the makers of the commercial and not the viewers of the commercial.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

That lock product isnt really that big a deal.  They were trying to mass market it.  It sells big in enviroment where movement restricted people need to keep their doors locked and still be able to let people in.

It felt a bit like a movie in which two stoners try to steal a military helicopter

I saw this one for a pad that charges your electronics just by setting them on it where the characters constantly said what I assume must have been fuck by the way it was used over and over throughout the conversation for no apparent reason.  Obviously it was bleeped but I can't figure out whether that was more or less annoying.
