I keep seeing this disturbing commercial from a bank, it features a guy on a stage dressed up like Benjamin Franklin and singing The Human League's hit, "Don't You Want Me?".
What's worse is SunTrust is very proud of it. A broker's husband works there, as a marketing guy, and he got a call from their home office, elated they got Super Bowl airtime in Tampa, one of their major markets. Once he saw it, nausea ensued.
There are a lot of bad advertisers, then — a number of them during the Super Bowl. Like the Office Quarterback one. Hilarious, but I have no idea what was being advertised (and I've no idea how they got "Felcher & Sons" past the censors). Likewise, I've got no clue what the guy with the dog on his head was advertising. Or the dog cooling its crotch in front of the air conditioner.
I did remember the one for Charles Schwab with the crowd of people following the guy through New York, but that's only because of Sev chanting "Schwab-ho-tep! Schwab-ho-tep!" If he hadn't done that, I'd've forgotten who it was for.
Going back a few years, who or what was being advertised by the "Inside of sock, you have other sock?" commercial?
