    Darn being at work and not being able to watch videos.

    But I'd just as soon save it for Sunday. Main reason I'm even watching the game.

    I rather dislike these commercials. It seemingly parodies the typical lifestyle type advertisements only half-heartedly. I hate lifestyle advertising.

    I think we should teach young children about advertising tricks and deception and subtle manipulation the way we inoculate them to measles.

    This campaign inspired me to do my advertising project on Old Spice last year. Got to analyze the Bruce Campbell ad, NPH, and the new ones. True story.

    And that was before the summer's incredibly innovative YouTube campaign. I'm in love with the people who write these.

    A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
    However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

    I find them more eye-rollingly cheesy and humorous than the aggressively obnoxious Jared commercials.

    The first time I saw that one where they are in the cabin in the words, I could barely breathe because I was laughing too hard. The best part was how you could tell what every next line was going to be.

    The cabin in the woods one was what made me start noticing how bad they all are.

    Yes that is also the worst commercial.

    Wait, he was supposed to be a dentist? I thought he was just a man. And like all men he will be disgusted by anything other than the purest of white teeth, rosy cheeks and an appropriately submissive countenance.

    I like the commercial for the website that lets you look-up people that are searching for you. I have no-idea how a service like that even works and I suspect it's just trying to get your email address and social network information so it can sell you stuff.

    Anyway, the commercial is always the same woman checking the site to see who's looking for her.

    There are different audio tracks but the best one is "Oh an old boyfriend... maybe he wants to get back-together?"

    Yeah lady. Your ex is stalking you and you act like this is a welcome turn-of-events.

    They changed it later to "Oh a former client, maybe they want to re-connect?"

    I don't think that the new one is as good as the first two. Mainly because it uses actual special effects instead of awesome tricks.

    on the subject of poop commercials

    there's one for depends adult diapers where an old man is playing hide and seek with his grandson

    he has a knowing smile on his face as the child helplessly searches the backyard for him

    the undertone, given through text that pops up, is that his pants are full of shit but his adult diapers are suppressing the smell so well that he is able to remain hidden

    which I mean, I guess that is something you would want out of an adult diaper if you had health issues that required you use them

    but just something about the presentation is really creepy

    well I mean obviously the word "poop" is never used

    just a close-up of smug old grandpa with some text along the lines of "he can't notice you."

    and then the depends logo
