The Commercial Review

This blog is intended to be a place were I can review commercials that I see on TV. Pretty simple stuff, right? Every day we are bombarded with television commercials, some entertaining, most perfectly plain, and some completely awful beyond being tolerable. Given my sometimes pessimistic nature you can fully expect me to rip to shreds some of the most awful commercials that are currently and have previously invaded our TV's. My first target is probably the easiest target out there for mind numbing commercials. Old Navy, oh my gosh, I mean how bad can a commercial be. Let's take a look at some examples.

 Now those are two examples of how you make a commercial if you clearly have no talent. First take a song from the 70's or 80's because your target demographic will know it but not know it well enough to be angry because you are about to ruin it. Then go ahead and just throw in whatever words you want as lyrics because that's never annoying. It's like your ad company is run by a less talented Weird Al.

 Whatever this garbage is, I don't know. Honestly, if you are new to parenting and you don't want your kid to be hated by every other student in the school, refer to this commercial and dress them nothing like these poor kids that are somehow too stupid to realize what month it is. Junior High is going to be tough Old Navy kids.

When you take a song titled "Let's Talk About Sex" and change the words around and have kids sing it, it kind of skips right past creepy and goes straight to the Sex Offender list which I'm sure whoever wrote this commercial can be found on. Who at Old Navy thought this was okay, deeply disturbing.

All of these terrible commercials remind me of a terrible car dealership back where I grew up that would take songs and ruin them just like Old Navy, and I thought it was low for a local ad. Anyway, that is all I have right now, if you have any commercials you would like me to review, just shoot me an email at MarkhamHyde@gmail.com or comment below.
