what commercials really work...

[Big KC]

The Mac Ads... here are two new ones:
 
  Microsoft Office
 
 
  Therapy
 
 
 ...and the breafast commercials with the guy in the Sun suit.

Speaking of credit cards, I like the Capitol One ones with the Braveheart guys...the pillagers who have to get real jobs.

This reporter on NPR disagrees.
 
 His  report concludes the ads are too cool for their own good and, hence, appeal to the demographic that would already own Macs, not the demographic they want to own Macs.

I agree with the NPR reporter.

i agree with that statement (didnt read the article)  but Mac seems to have a niche market that either already has a Mac or has no desire for one whatsoever.
 
   the commercials where they have the Mac guy and the PC guy are a good marketing technique, but the commercials themselves kinda suck.
 
   and on that note, i will say that HP, visually, are my favourite commercials.

Considering there were three patches released to plug holes in the Mac OS in the days after those ads ran, I would say those ads might have backfired.

the ones that really works for me are those wrigley doublemint gum commercials with those twins.

i like the one where the woman talks for hours about the side effects of the latest birth control pill like it is a natural conversation

[sweetcell]

visually, i really liked those Hummer commercials with the trippy kaleidoscope effect.  hate the product, tho... so i guess the commercial didn't "work"  

[vansmack]

Those commercials showing a swollen prostate cutting off a mans bladder almost always make me have to take a leak, so I'd say they "work"

[twangirl]

I liked the one where rugged cowboys were herding cats.
 
 But I can't remember what product the ad was for, so I guess it didn't work.

Most ESPN commercials work, but I was especially pleased with Ozzie Guillen making the call to the bullpen and getting the wrong number.

One of the side effects of taking that drug is bitch tits.
