I think it has become pretty clear just how desperate celebrities can be to get their hands on some more cash (I’m looking at you Nic Cage!). What better way to do it than to agree to do some random and often awkward commercial in a foreign market? Your embarrassment generally goes under the radar amongst the American public and you can get a pretty penny fo… Click to read more

An estimated 100 million viewers will tune into the Super Bowl this year as the Patriots try to exact revenge on the team that cost them a perfect season in ’07-’08. While you might have a slightly larger group of actual football fans tuning in to see what should be a great matchup, the majority of viewers could care less about the action on the field… Click to read more

Just like the planet is getting warmer and warmer, ads are becoming racier and racier – it’s just an inevitable fact. While a lot of this year’s commercials feature well-known actresses and models, many of them dared to feature “new blood” that looks just as good (if not better) than the vets we know and love. Click to see the full list along with links to pics of the chicks featured.

Have you ever wondered what mentally insane people see everytime they close their eyes, ones that have watched way too much bad television and movies? Well you get this – 10 minutes of what happens when you put a collection of unlabeled VHS tapes into a blender and watch the resulting phantasmagoria of chaos. We have absolutely no idea why this video was made or the purpose it serves mankind, but believe us when we say this: once you start watching, you can’t stop – no matter how psychedelically freaky it gets! See this video oddity for yourself… if losing your mind isn’t that big of a deal for you.

When you stay up late, you tend to see some really bizarre and awful commercials on TV. Low production value. Crappy jingles. Bad actors. They all add up for a truly painful experience. The latest commercial to catch our attention is CougarLife.com. It’s not often we’re caught slack-jawed, but this one made us question our very existence. It also got us thinking of all the other commercials we’ve seen for online dating sites, both good and bad. See the videos after the post!

Back in November, various media outlets reported Julia Roberts made $1.5 million to appear in Lavazza ad. She did not have to speak. She only had to smile and wink. You know there is good money to be made if even Saint Brangelina is not immune (Angelina shilled for Shiseido in Japan and Brad’s efforts can be seen below). More often than not celebrities will shill abroad. And while it can be argued whether or not it makes financial sense for the advertisers to hand over so much cash for celebrities, they are still willing to fork it over (not sans insurance natch, you never know when you have next Tiger Woods or Wayne Rooney on your hands). Meanwhile we can get a few giggles out of latest celebrity endorsements.

No matter how much you wish you could escape the awful local advertising in every city and small town in America, you can’t.  Bad jingles, horrible rhymes, and off tune singing seem to be the recipe for horrible, low budget advertising on the boob tube. The culprits are usually car dealers, furniture stores, lawyers, and insurance companies who blind us with their hideous special effects and assault our ears with deafening roars or choppy dialogue. Yet, they still entertaining. We give you The Worst Local TV Commercials.

It’s late, perhaps you’re a little drowsy or even buzzed. Plopped down in front of the tube, you begin scrolling through the cable or satellite menu when… bam! Jolted from your semi-conscious stupor, you see words like ‘naked’ or ‘booty’ and the blood begins pumping again. What then did you stumble upon? Only the most misleading, deceptive, grab your attention marketing strategy on television yet: The infomercial!

It seems like SportsCenter commercials haven’t changed at all since they began advertising. The “This is SportsCenter” ads that we’ve become so familiar with always take place somewhere in the ESPN studios, involve an athlete and/or mascot, one of the anchors, and have a perfect air of sarcasm that only true sports fans can understand. I’ve dug into the archives (aka Youtube) and compiled a list of the 7 best Sportscenter commercials ever.

Everybody knows, smoking kills. From Truth’s “hip” viral marketing campaigns to your Aunt Debby’s constant hacking, the fact that tobacco use kills more than 5 million people per year and is the cause of six of the world’s eight leading causes of death shouldn’t surprise anyone. And yet people keep smoking…

Advertisements. Can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without them. From the repetitively obnoxious (FreeCreditReport.com) to the overtly sexual (Victoria’s Secret), we are bombarded hundreds of times daily by the nauseous pollution of advertising. But it wasn’t always this way.

Fake commercials are more entertaining than real commercials for 1,000,000 reasons. No lawyers, no million-dollar PR campaigns to demolish, no FCC rules… the list goes on and on. Here are the top 3 fake commercials ever.
