This parody voiceover so appeals to my cynical side.

Snark and sarcasm ahoy! I’d have a lot more respect for marketeers if this were a real ad. #seb #parody #commercials

I’m all for saving abandoned pets and animals…

I can't hit the change channel button fast enough.

… but I’d be a flat-out liar if I didn’t say that the following is 100% what I do when I see one of these commercials:

In fact, I can’t hit the change channel button fast enough.

I’m not sure I would understand this commercial even if I spoke the language…

CoD: Black Ops commercial “There’s a soldier in all of us.”

I nearly choked on my beverage when I saw this on the TV the other day:

I love the fact that they have basketball star Kobe Bryant and late night talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel running around with people from all walks of life. Of course you already know that there . . . → Read More: CoD: Black Ops commercial “There’s a soldier in all of us.”

Maybe atheists need to advertise more.

It seems every major religion has commercials touting the supposed benefits of their faith on TV. This is particularly true of Scientology and the Mormons. So YouTuber orleyorg sat down and put together what he thought might be a good advertisement for atheism:

I’m not a huge Ozzy Osbourne fan, but I thought this WoW commercial featuring him was pretty funny:

Max Headroom is back! Kinda.

One of my favorite sci-fi shows that didn’t last very long was Max Headroom, I’m still waiting for a DVD box set, and I was quite irate when the show was canceled for being “too cerebral” according to the network. It was just further evidence to me that most Americans have oatmeal for brains.
