Title: What happened to good commercials?
Post by: Tupin on April 03, 2008, 01:27:40 PM
You know, ones that would actually make you want to buy the product.

Like 10 years ago, they were memorable AND served their purpose.

It's not like they improved truth in advertising, so I guess they just ran out of ideas.

But here's a pretty good one (even if it is Japanese): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcrPzKWYLHM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcrPzKWYLHM)

Also, "Wii would like to Play" commercials suck.

I believe that is the #1 rated commercial of all time.

You can bet I ran out as soon as I saw that commercial and bought the game.


These (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZodbYCoMyE) will always be the greatest commercials of all time though. :D

Go through Youtube and look through commercials you remember. Instead of being all excited and thinking "oh, I remember that," try to compare them to commercials these days. They're not really any better. There's exceptions, sure, but commercials have always been annoying one way or another.

At least these days we have better effects to use and people generally spend more in making commercials. Some 90s commercials, especially toy ones, just make me cringe...like those god-awful Dr. Dreadful commercials and poop like that.

Nintendo needs to bring back their "Who are you?" campaign and abandon their stupid "Wii Would Like to Play."
