DailyDirt: Better Call Saul...
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
The- Jamie Casino's 2-minute Super Bowl ad in Georgia is epic. It's based on a true story, but how much of this ad is really believable? It doesn't matter because it's probably the best lawyer ad that's ever been on TV. [url]
- Intellectual property lawyers don't usually have memorable ads, but Eric Mirabel's music video about his practice is... somewhat unique (and may not be safe for work, depending on where you work). If you want to file for a patent/trademark/etc... and you like Mirabel's style, it looks like you can't go wrong. [url]
- If you've got some free time, here's a compilation of a bunch of horrible lawyer commercials (with a few other bad local TV ads thrown in). The personal injury lawyer ads are amusing, but some of the divorce lawyer ads... aren't. [url]
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Amen, brother (or sister). That was one of the most painful things that I have watched that did not involve breaking bones or shedding blood.

As if you couldn't tell, he writes his own commercials.

The Coca-Cola ad for example. Who knew that singing a song about America in several languages would cause such a ruckus.
- LOL - It is almost unbelievable.
So let's see now. No Coke, no Dr Pepper, no Oreos ...
Where will I get my daily dose of high fructose corn syrup?

Re:
Honestly though, the ads during SB48 were rather... meh this year. I'm not saying that because I wanted to get back to the game and watch my Seahawks continue pounding the Broncos into glue, I'm saying that because most of them were, well, boring.

Repetition

I've never had a problem giving most commercials a look. Most people don't. It's the endless repetition of the same commercials over and over and over again that drives people insane. One you see an ad once-- even a clever one-- you really don't need (or want) to see it again, let alone two hundred more times.
Even the best of these Super Bowl commercials will be FFWed over by remote-wielding DVR owners within days of their football game debut.
