No, @Chevrolet Did Not Steal This Commercial Idea From @DearPhotograph. Get Over Yourself.

November 3rd, 2011  |  by Jeff Ferguson  |  published in All Posts, Internet, Television

Tweet So, there appears to be a bit of a kerfuffle (damn I love that word) over everything from intellectual property rights to copy rights and internet memes and all kinds of legal crap over whether or not the new Chevy ad below stole its concept from the popular blog, DearPhotograph.   Of course the […]

[COMMENTARY] On TV Commercials and Selective Racial Outrage

August 1st, 2011  |  by Jeff Ferguson  |  published in Google, Internet, Television

Tweet Let’s get one thing clear right from the start – people are assholes.  Which people you may ask?  All of them, all people are assholes.  Me, you, them. All colors, all races, all creeds, and all religions. When it all comes down to it, we’re all a bunch of assholes. The biggest assholes of […]

[VIDEO] Lindsay Lohan got paid how much to do what with a beezid?

June 22nd, 2011  |  by Jeff Ferguson  |  published in Internet, Television

Tweet When I’m not writing high prose for this site, I’m an internet marketing consultant, so for me to make a “What the hell’s a ‘beezid?” style joke would make me just completely out of touch with the current state of internet scams auction sites. That said, this site is about bad commercials and brother, […]

Taco Bell/Aasif Mandvi Predict a Short Summer

June 20th, 2011  |  by Mike Stern  |  published in All Posts, Television

Tweet So far it’s been a lousy summer in Chicago. We essentially had no spring and so far June has been feast or famine; 90 degrees or 60 degress. Nothing in-between. But even I remain hopeful that summer will last longer than one week which is apparently what the folks at Taco Bell are expecting. […]

Taco Bell, Preferred Tacos of Retards

April 22nd, 2011  |  by Jeff Ferguson  |  published in Television

Tweet Is it really this hard to sell a fucking taco these days? Below is the train wreck that is the commercial for Taco Bell’s new “Cheesy Double Decker Taco,” the latest attack on America’s colons. There are so many things wrong with this add that I feel like I’m going insane. First, why are […]

Imitation, Flattery and Stupidity at Nationwide Insurance

January 21st, 2011  |  by Mike Stern  |  published in All Posts, Television

Tweet It definitely seems like the insurance industry may be providing the most entertaining advertising campaigns of any category these days. Whether it’s Mayhem playing the role of a team flag on your car, the gecko pulling out his wallet and cell phone, or just the ever-enthusiastic Flo dealing with strange customers, insurance companies generally are […]

The folks at Oreo have too much damn money

January 17th, 2011  |  by Jeff Ferguson  |  published in Television

Tweet I couldn’t find the sales figures for OREO cookies here in the US, but in Australia it was over $2 BILLION ($1.9 billion US) last year, so you can just imagine how many of the damn things we eat over here.  That said, clearly they need to spend some of the profits for those […]

Like a good neighbor, State Farm is friggin’ annoying

January 4th, 2011  |  by Jeff Ferguson  |  published in Television

Tweet I know, I know, you missed me a little, I understand.  While it was always my plan to let other writers fill in some of the gaps here on DTM, I never planned to stop writing posts.  Unfortunately, things at work got a tad busier than I expected and I decided I’d rather keep […]

Accenture: Nothing says tech consulting like a surfing elephant [VIDEO]

May 20th, 2010  |  by Jeff Ferguson  |  published in Television

Tweet There are boat loads of really smart people over at Accenture, which is why I’m wondering how this commercial saw the light of day. It’s actually a cute little concept. The surfing elephant gets an easy smile and ties in with their question about “who says you can’t be big and nimble?” Two things… […]

Ford Fiesta commercials are just reaching for anything now

May 19th, 2010  |  by Jeff Ferguson  |  published in Television

Tweet I actually like Ford as a car manufacturer, so I’m taking this series of stupid commercials kind of personal. If you’ve read over this site before, you might have seen my rant on some of the goofy things they do in car commercials.  Coming up with a creative ad concept for  car commercial has […]
