This is the epitome of a great dog food commercial. It’s cute, cuddly, dogs in slow-motion. Albeit a bit long, but who can’t resist the soft flowing fur at 1,000 frames-per-second? Not I. I dare you to not smile. Koodos goes out to Pedigree for an awesome commercial.

The Hoodie-Footie Snuggle Suit: Your Full-Body Snuggie

Apparently I didn’t get the memo but Snuggie and it’s sexier sister-in-law, the Hoodie-Footie Snuggle Suit, are all the rage. The latter, which is $49.95, is basically three things in one. It’s a hoddie, your favorite slippers, and a blanket. What could be better?

Oh, and for the fellas out there this badboy isn’t just for women. Just look how manly this guy looks. Lucky for you the online retailers are doubling it’s price for Valentines day. Order your sexiness here.

Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing Commercial Is Just… Dumb

January 30, 2010 by Troy  
Filed under Nintendo

Forget the fact that this racing game might actually hold you over until the next Mario Kart comes out. Forget the fact that the levels look more interesting than what we’ve seen in other Wii racing games. Forget the fact that you’re about to watch the worst acting ever. Prepared? I sure hope so.

This is SEGA’s latest commercial for Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing. Instead of being narrated by a deep-voiced-movie-like-older-man, SEGA instead opted for Alex and Jen, two of the most odd gamers we’ve ever seen. Sure, the game play looks semi-interesting but it’s their horrible (and sometimes creepy) acting that makes this commercial a huge fail.

“Bring. It. On.” … “Super horn!” … “You can ride Bananas!” … “Amigo’s crazy sunbuggie!!!” … Where’s my gun?

Have you ever been sitting on your couch, watching your favorite show, then all of a sudden a commercial comes on that literally scares the shit out of you because it’s so loud? Well, we feel you, and so does Congress. A bill is being voted on tomorrow that aims at stopping these spikes in volume for commercials.

The bill was drafted by Congresswoman Anna Eshoo who said, “I not only dive for the mute button, but I end up having to close my windows so that the blast doesn’t affect by neighbors. I live on a cul-de-sac, and so the sound resonates.” Read more

What is “230″?

What is 230?

What is 230?

So what is “230?” You know, the commercial with the number 230 and the zero is a power outlet smiling. You know you’ve seen it. Hell, you probably can’t get away from it by now. Well, this is the new ad is for the Chevy Volt; an all-new electric hybrid from, you guessed it, Chevrolet.

But what does “230″ stand for? It’s the estimated miles-per-gallon that the vehicle is said to get. Oh, and the outlet smiling is due to the fact that it’s a “plug-in hybrid.” When released, the Chevy Volt will be able to get up to 40 miles on a single charge. That almost everyone’s commute to work and back.

You can learn more about the Chevy Volt by hitting up the read link above. That, or you can wait until your friends driving one and you look like the dumb one.

Video: MSI Laptops So Thin, Catch Them With Your Butt Cheeks?

I’m really confused over MSI’s laptop commercial. It’s about young adults catching laptops with their butt. Or, is it more like Wii Sports Resort frisbie toss, only your aiming for a tight spandex crack? I just really don’t understand it. Are MSI’s laptops so light and thin that you can throw them at anyone’s ass and it will stick? Are gay men’s buttocks muscles so rock hard that they can catch anything? I’m unsure, but I do know one thing: they sure as hell aren’t selling laptops.

LG ‘Chocolate’ BL40 Gets New Runway Ad

Alright, listen. I think the new LG Chocolate is sexy. I’m totally diggin’ the new slim, sexy, design. But, the new Chocolate ad on the runway is just horrible. I’m guessing their demographic is the anorexic tall girl who loves to work the runway like a coked up diva? Read more

David Beckham Likes Expensive Phones

david-beckham-aura-shirtlessHave you ever heard of the Motorola Aura? Neither have I, possibly because its a horrible, expensive, cell phone. But, what makes the Motorola Aura cell phone so special is that it’s $2,000. That’s about it, folks. Of course, since David Beckham is sponsored by almost every single product in the world, he decided to dive in to the Motorola Aura.

The actual commercial for the Motorola Aura with David Beckham in it is pretty lame. Sure, it shows off his great body, but I’m left wondering, what the fuck is he holding in his hand? And, why is he a cyborg? Does the Aura turn you into a machine? I don’t know, but it looks like that’s what happens when you grab one. Watch the video after the break. Read more

What Is G? Mysterious “G” Commercial Drives Me Nuts

Word.

Word up, gangsta.

“G” is not for gangsta…

If you watched the Sugar Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, or are currently watching Florida versus Oklahoma, you’ve probably seen a mysterious “G” commercial. The commercial has various sports icons including Mohammad Ali, Tiger Woods, and Derek Jeter, to name a few. The “G” commercial is narrated by rapper Lil Wayne. He says:

  • The emblem of a warrior
  • The swagger of an athlete
  • A champion AND a dynasty
  • Gifted
  • Golden
  • Genuine
  • Glorious-
  • A lower case god
  • The greatest of all time.
  • The heart hustle and soul of the game

And then at the very end there is a capital “G.” There is no “about this product” or “this product is…” so that you, the viewer, know what the hell is going on. After Googling for a bit, it is very apparent that this is a Gatorade commercial. Hopefully this helps someone out so that you’re not sitting on your couch going “what the fuck was that?” Like me.
