Why, God, why did these commercials get made?

AGGGHHH! GIANT MUTANT BUNNY ATTACK!

Okay, I actually like the Duracell bunny in the ads. He's small and cute and has the cool sunglasses. But this...this is an abomination unto man, and possibly a sign of the End of Days.

The bunny is actually for Energizer. Though he was originally conceived as a Take That to a series of Duracell commercials involving powered toys.

I cannot be the only one frigging annoyed by the commercials for Broadview Security (formerly Brinks Home Security). For those not familiar with the product, let me thumbnail sketch EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEIR COMMERCIALS.

Perhaps it's just me, but if someone has the intent to break into a home he knws is occupied, alarms are not going to make them instantly flee.

There is only one commerical I find kind of believable. That's the one with the jealous ex boyfriend. All the other ones are fucking laughable at the very best. Now I'm actually flipping through the channels looking for bad commericals.

The latest Burger King commercial. New Moon promo + the King mascot = disturbing and NO.

My sons heartly agree with you. Actually, everyone on the staff but the owner agrees with you. Andrew says they're taking bets on what the executives were smoking when they came up with the idea.

Sadly, however, it's selling like hotcakes. There are millions of pre-teen and teenage girls out there who cream themselves at the mere mention of 'Twilight.' (and I suspect a good many of their moms do to). You've got a ready-made market just waiting outside your door.

Doesn't Burger King kind of clash with the brooding vampire image? Just a skoosh?

Hence the questions as to what management was smoking at the time. On the other hand, as Morgan pointed out, they couldn't very well go with a media campaign that featured the Cullens chasing down small animals and ripping them to pieces.

The current Miller Light campaign, which apparently is aimed at the douchebag demographic.

Observe:

Good point, why use a 9mm pistol when you have what appears to be a Tommy Gun?

It's actually a commie gun with a drum, can't remember the exact type though and Youtube resolution makes identification next to impossible. It's not a PPSh-41.

Not that i'm complaining about these commericals. But I'm clearly not the target demo.
