I remember when Sprite's campaign was "Image is nothing, thirst is everything." It looks like they threw that out the window. These creey me out just a little. I have seen worse ads.

I do.


I dunno, they don't really "creep me out". I do like the sumo wrestlers crushing that guys head though.

I just want to know, if I'm supposed to "obey my thirst," and my thirst tells me to drink something other than Sprite, should I still be obeying my thirst?

It's supposed to be 'hip' and 'cool' dawg. I do like it because its creativity and flashing images capture your attention. And that's all ads need to do. Anyone ever see the HeadOn commercial?!??!

This is an example of what a great ad should be. It blows my mind every time I see it.

You, sir, get brownie points from me for making me chuckle.

I don't find the commercial all that enticing, funny, or interesting. Just another attempt to capture the consumer's imagination and then try to force a product on them. Classic commercialism.

Actually, I kinda like these new commercials.Like there was this one in a movie theatre, and it made it look like the commercial was loading, but then it said, "That's right.Keep staring."That made me laugh.That sumo wrestler thing was cool, too.I don't really see how exactly they are creepy.

Meh. I don't get it.

The Geico ads were hilarious at first, and you can still occasionally find a funny one. And those Aflac ones.

Those sprite ads are annoying. Maybe I'm just getting old. There are certain ads that I am completely unable to watch.. I have to turn the TV off or mute it (or change the channel when they come up).

They are:

The new sprite ads
The car ads where you see people sitting in a car, and then someone crashes into the car
Ads for Zone Chefs
most car ads in general, especially local ones.. Although there's one really good local car ad.. it's for Star Cars, and it has this rapper on it who sounds like 50 Cent lol it's really cheesy, but the track is actually quite catchy, and the actors are cool too!
metropolitan lumber
voices among us . com

these are the worst that I can think of for the moment

I dunno. I think they're pretty cool. The sumo one is the only one I really like. The others are kind of creepy.

Here's one.

I dunno, I kinda like them. It doesn't mean I'll be buying any Sprite, necessarily, but I still think they're pretty cool.

Post subject: 

Ya see I've always loved Sprite, so ads won't change what I drink (except maybe this one). But seeing that, can you imagine the guy who gets his head crushed by the sumo wrestlers? Ouch.

I believe you are talking about VW ads? I like them because they show what it can be like to be in a real accident. It's totally unexpected and out of nowhere; effective at showing that you need safety especially when you aren't thinking about it.

Hey, if it wasn't for those commercials, there wouldn't be any TV. They pay the bills.

As much as I don't like the system, I'll admit that was a very unique commerical.

And everyone, this is the worst commerical of all time.
