Commercials that are not connecting with me...



Spongebob got back? Is this really the best way to market a kids meal? Clearly Sir Mix A Lot is broke.



Why a Scotsman? And if you are going to use the obvious dipstick double entendre why don't you make the commercial... I don't know, hot.



I'm guessing this is supposed to capitalize on the whole all things geeky are hip trend now. What with the Chuck look alike, and the deep voiced smooth announcer with the intentionally somewhat disjointed copy. It just doesn't connect for me, though I must admit, I do like a QPC.



Don't get me started on ED ads. What do matching tubs outside have to do with erectile dysfunction? And if I have an erection for more than 4 hours I'm calling my friends and bragging.

Now how about one that does work. This is perhaps the best example of what I like to call "food porn". A type of commercial that mixes a fantastically hot chick(in this case Top Chef's Padma Lakshmi), with a fabulously unhealthy piece of food. The food is then consumed in the most suggestive way possible short of actually rubbing it across the naughty bits. Why this works for me I don't know, perhaps this says something about my personality.
