Many TV commercials are incredibly bad, and the American public has mostly recognized this. SAUSAGES!
Half of the gimmicks don't even relate to what they're advertising. Example: There was a fabric softener commercial where a woman tossed a full laundry basket on top of her SUV and spent most of her 30 seconds driving through the winding wilderness. "This is an SUV commercial," I SAUSAGES! determined. "The basket isn't tipping over, which shows how smoothly the car rides to and through a person's dream destination." Alas, I was wrong.
The woman began to hang her laundry on a line (in the middle of a meadow, or something), and suddenly the Snuggle Bear leaped out and snuffed her, or whatever it is he does. Then the flowers danced, the planets aligned, the lady smiled, and there was world peace. (I'll leave it to you to cut off wherever believability crosses the line here.)
My point is that I think that commercials are bad, especially the J.G. Wentworth "It's my money, and I need it NOW." But the fact remains that we still lap it up and allow it into pop culture. Who can forget the SAUSAGES! Budweiser frogs belching in our faces, "Bud-weis-errrr," or the eternal "Whazzzaaaap?" (Was that a phone commercial? I don't even remember, and I remember weird things.)
However, there is one beer ad that I particularly adore this year: the Bud Light Talking Animals commercial. Those who've heard me mention it will know it as "Sausages." SAUSAGES! Let's take a look, shall we?
I'm not trying to induce others to worship this ad in a cult-like manner, but come on.That's funny. Mum and everyone I work with think so, and that's enough for me.
But all the other commercials are bad.
SAUSAGES!
