I know I said I'd review the commercials live but the game was too damn good. But don't worry I recorded the whole game and will post the reviews tonight. Overall the ads sucked. They have sucked the past couple years. Do companies try too hard? Do we expect too much? Who knows but they are not what they used to be. Anyway congrats to the New York Giants! Aside from the Steelers winning Super Bowl XL I've never been this excited about a game. Check in tomorrow for ALL the commercial reviews... Read Full Story
Old Spice

In this commercial there's a guy playing baseball. He is standing on 2nd base and as soon as the ball is hit he dives into a slide. He continues to slide all the way to 3rd, rounds 3rd and grabs a stick of Old Spice deodarant(still in a slide) and ends up safe at home. The whole time he's sliding he's telling you how Old Spice is the best deodarant but he's using all kinds of sports analogies to describe Old Spice. It's a hilarious commercial. Verdict: 3 roxxorz. The guy slides from 2nd to... Read Full Story
Tip #6 - Use the internet to your advantage

Use sites like Expedia , Travelocity and Priceline to REALLY get the best rate. I don't mean book your room with these sites. First let me explain how these sites work. Say you visit Hotels.com and the price for the Example Inn is $60(this price is usually the same as the hotel's rack or standard rate). You book the room and give your credit number. Hotels.com charges your card for $60 plus tax. Hotels.com then sends your reservation to the Example Inn. In return for selling rooms the Example... Read Full Story
Anti Marijuana Commercials

First off let me say that I am all for stopping kids from doing drugs. That being said I hate these commercials. These commercials are so over the top it's ridiculous. They feature such "common" scenes as kids sitting in their dad's office smoking weed. The one kid then says to the other, "Hey, I know where my dad keeps his gun." Of course they get the gun out and one of the kids gets shot. Here's what would really happen. Two kids smoking in their dads office. Stoner #1, "Hey I know where my... Read Full Story

These ads have always bothered me. Has anyone everyone gone to this site to get your "free" credit report? It's not FREE! You have to sign up for some bullshit program and then they will give you your credit report. It's shady business practices. The new ads they run are slightly enjoyable because the songs are pretty catchy. One is a guy dressed like a pirate working in a seafood restaurant singing about his crappy job and how somehow he has the job because he didn't go to freecreditreport... Read Full Story

Subway has listened to me! Here is an excerpt from the letter they sent me: "thank you so much for letting us know that Jared sucks. We stopped running ads featuring him and business is up 300,000%. We are now the richest company in the world. We have made so much money because of you that we don't even know where to put it all. As a token of our appreciation we're sending you a coupon for 50% off a 6 inch sub." JACKPOT! Obviously I made that up (or did i?) (yes, i did) but I have noticed a... Read Full Story
Funniest Commercials of the Year

I forgot to mention that this was coming on. It aired 12/26 on TBS. I've seen it rerun already so maybe they will show it again. Kevin Nealon hosts and does a pretty good job. Way better than when James Brown hosts Fox's version. Most of the time these clip show hosts are horrible. Just look at every America's Funniest Home Video host EVER. If you've ever watched one of these shows you will notice that international ads are way better than the ones we get here. I think part of the reason is... Read Full Story

These ads are great. They show someone doing something stupid then the tag line "Wanna Get Away?" My favorite shows two guys playing video game baseball. The one guy is showing the other how his motion sensing controller works but swinging it like a baseball bat. He then says "Now throw me a pitch just like if we were outside" His friend hurls his controller at the flat screen TV shattering it and sending it crashing to the ground. Wanna get away? Hilarious. Verdict: 4 roxxorz. Some of the... Read Full Story

Body Sprays and Blue Jeans

First off the blue jeans. I guess it's hard to come up with original ads for a product that basically hasn't changed since it was first created but blue jean commercials are some of the worst. I'm going to focus on the one that bugs my wife the most. I can't remember the brand but it shows a guy in his apartment and as he pulls his jeans up an entire city starts to burst up through the ground. What does this have to do with anything? My wife said she would've liked to have seen a parking... Read Full Story
