Welcome to ADS (portions of this entry may appear in this comm. userinfo)
Hi, welcome to ads, recently our comaintainer ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1) ningloreth did an immense amount of work removing old entries from the community, sort of sweeping it out so that it would be ready for use. The detritus was mostly hundreds of old community advertisements, very annoying. And now, a clean palette, we could say, mostly thanks to ningloreth. Thank you, ningloreth. It took me awhile to find a good comaintainer and now there is one. Other offers need not apply or may not be included, please check your store for details (we now have a comaintainer, thank you). That being said the community is pretty much open for business posting, and as originally intended the community will have certain purposes: * Discussion of favorite advertisements (they can be funny). * Discussion of irritating or annoying advertisements. * Posting of personals or want ads, seeking, looking to get rid of, looking for exchange, etc. * You may provide leads to other communities at LJ for all of these purposes. * You may advertise for your LJ community *** IF *** : you are using your journal, within the LJ terms of service, as a corporate or business blog. Just to clarify, the LJ TOS states that this is permissable if that journal of yours provides some service or purpose between your business and your clientele besides just advertisement. Yes, if your journal meets those requirements, then you may advertise for your community here. IF YOU ADVERTISE FOR AN LIVEJOURNAL THAT ISN'T A BUSINESS LIVEJOURNAL, YOU MIGHT BE BANNED... * ... because other than the above, this is not a community advertisement space [any longer]. There may be other ideas to come up with, and I'm glad there's a comaintainer now who may have some ideas. I think this will be a really good community, here's looking forward to all of us using this community, very nice, thank you, welcome to ads. | | Tuesday, May 13th, 2008 | 1:16 am

Aygulka! Yes, you very possibly could become an owner! Imagine yourself as owner of the ads community. Very lucrative! First you simply have to show an investment: 1. How will you improve the ads community without afecting or diminishing the original intent? 2. How will your ownership improve the ads community? If you can make these investments -- you may already be on your way to ownership! Imagine the possibilities! -- eyenot --- aygulka wrote: > Hi eyeno! > I have a question!

favorite / worst ads
I think some good ads or campaigns are/have been: ABC Warehouse Meijer (MTA) Those ad for beers where really odd, embarassing, or otherwise notable events happened to some people in bars who were talking over the beer. Well in one, this guy gets a ride from a trucker who looks over, smiles, and then reaches behind the seats and pulls out a stage dummy, makes him look at the guy, opens its mouth, and lets out with this high-pitched, continuous screeching. So the guy jumps out of the moving semi. Really bad ads: Most of them. Most advertisements or commercials fail to catch, keep, or earn my attention. | | Monday, January 19th, 2004 | 3:15 pm

notice in the mc-d's commercial where the car breaks down: 1. the 'empty' side is to the right? 2. the two fat guys beat the skinny guy into pushing the car 3. the skinny guy pushes BOTH fatsoes the whole way to mc-d's, no turns or democracy about it 4. back at the restaurant, we see the skinny guy sitting on the car hood with teh fatsoes but there is no sign of him eating any actual food. | | Thursday, September 11th, 2003 | 8:31 am

Hello, Ads!
It has been a long time since anyone posted anything in here! I have been enjoying the Zyrtec series of commercials. People describe their allergies and a bouncy song plays while monochrome films depict the person having fun in their own personal way. This one with the guy who's allergic to cats but marries a 'cat person' is hilarious, especially when he's playing with the cat at the end. Revlon's new commercial for their 'Natural' line of products is interesting. The catch line is 'If I were any more natural, you would be blushing.' I find it adventurous for a product's advertisement to suggest that approaching the absence of the product ('natural beauty', i.e. without makeup) is what is being attempted by applying the product. 'Natural' makeup. And, even if the person isn't impressed with the product, they will still come away from the advertisement feeling that 'natural' is preferable -- the commercial has a good message no matter what. And while the statement suggesting the audience is bashful or embarassed about actual 'natural' beauty, there are none of the other statements that usually seem aimed to make the audience feel ugly. So there's nothing to make the audience feel tense or anxious, and the overall message even sells a lack of the product. On top of all that, selling a 'natural' beauty is probably the most successful point in cosmetics. Great ad. | | Tuesday, January 14th, 2003 | 11:43 pm

Weird mid-90s Reebok(?) ad.
I remember this commercial from the mid-90s. I think it was for Reebok, and it was completely surrealistic -- it involved a swimming pool at night, a giant fly, and if I remember correctly, turtle-shaped inner-tubes and creepy old people. I loved this ad, but I can't seem to find any evidence that it ever existed. Anyone remember this? (crossposted to tvcommercials) | | Tuesday, October 22nd, 2002 | 6:19 pm

annoyance at an ad for automobiles
That ad for a car witht he girl being like a robot was annoying for me, partly because I know people like that (a girl exactly like her) and it's annoying. I know some people fine that behaviour fun, but it's annoying and painful for me. However, the new commercial with a aman driving the s.u.v. and a lot of situations happen around him; that is great. The girl in a cascade of rose petals is a selling point, however, I think the producer should try romantic violin compositions instead of lusty techno. | | Sunday, September 1st, 2002 | 5:34 pm

New member
Hey, I'm new, spotted this in . Anyway, in my humble opinion, best advert on tv at the moment has a little girl getting ready for bed, and she yells, "Good night, mum!" Her mum replies, "Good night, Sarah." She then yells, "Good night, dad!" Her dad goes, "Good night, Sarah." Then, "Good night, grandma!" Her grandmother says, "Good night, Sarah." (Don't worry, it gets better). She then yells, "Good night, travelling salesman!" Downstairs, a guy with a hat and briefcase says, "Good night, Sarah." Next, she says, "Good night, foreign exchange students!" There's a room full of teenagers with bottles and rock music playing loud, but they all shut up and say simultaneously, "Good night, Sarah!" Finally, she says, "Good night, touring preacher." There's no reply. "Good night, touring preacher!" Silence. "GOOD NIGHT, TOURING PREACHER!" The cupboard under the stairs opens, and a priest walks out and says in a Texan accent, "G'night and God bless, Sarah." Then there's a blank screen and the words "Too many rooommates? Get a new mortgage with Lloyds." I laugh more at this advert then at some sitcoms. Such is the sadness of my life. Current Mood:  amused | | Wednesday, August 28th, 2002 | 10:25 pm

favorite commercials from childhood
Milk used to have a commercial that featured an animated penguin who said "pass it on". This campaign used a rap song that featured all of their most popular slogans, including "it's one to grow on" and "it's full of what you're thirsty for". I also liked the Arbor Day Foundation ad for how great trees are. This owl taught kids to love trees and they all sang this song: trees, trees [something something] arbor day foundation
spread the word across the nation about trees
trees are terrific!and my friend Mike Beckwith made up these alternate lyrics: trees, trees they're the constipation nation
spread the word across the nation about trees
trees have hemmorhoids! | 2:50 pm

Hello.
I'm new here, and I have a question for you. At least 5 years or more ago there was a commercial featuring a little animated character raiding a fridge for I think either milk, or some healthy alternative to sweets. He jumped and pranced about to the tune of a jingle that went "Refridgerator Raider" then it broke down into like a guitar riff or something. Anyhoo, this commercial has been stuck in my head forever. Does anyone else remember this? | | Sunday, August 11th, 2002 | 12:56 pm

the local phone company
this local phone company has a funny ad where a big guy stands at the bottom of a huge black skyscraper and yells at the people inside about his phone bill. all you hear in response in this nasally chuckle from inside the building, that they worked into the musical score. it must be pretty popular because they're on the third or fourth sequence now. telecom commercials seem to be pretty popular. the 'can you hear me now? good.' guy for the wireless company is on his third or fourth sequence now, too. | 10:34 am

dumpy ad for beer
there was an ad for guinness for awhile with a scene in a bar where this tall supermodel slowly pours a pint of stout with like half an inch of 'head' on the top. and the text-freeze says like 'slow and proper' or something. and then this freckly kid who was watching her tries his own, and he just pours the whole thing out and the 'head' overflows. the text-freeze says 'premature pour'. now i admit it's a clever gimmick, but who buys their beer based on how difficult it is to drink it? the funny thing is that a lot of commercial gimmicks involve attempting to make the consumer feel anxious and self-concious and offering the product as a solution to their inner troubles. it's popular and it works. so while common sense tells me to find a beer that i can just pop open and chug, the commercial is telling me i'm a squinty hoser if i don't buy a heady stout. nevertheless i like malts and pilsners. i don't drink guinness, there are way better stouts out there, but i imagine their sales did climb after that commercial aired. lots of people in the bars hoping to impress one another with a dramatic re-enactment. |
