Revisiting the most bizarre super bowl ad ever
- Thread starter ClickyCal'
- Start date
Kids are the worst. They are like giants in tiny body. I think it's a good idea and of course it will bring the mood down but it's good to think and remember safety on the roads. Friday evening was dark, rainy and slippery. I first got almost overrun by a delivery moped driving fast past from behind a TURNING car (it was taking the whole road, so coming over from behind with a vehicle is illegal) while it was turning on a single side, narrow road, then the same moped makes an u-turn and comes back from the other side. Then on other side (zebra crossing between and roads were split by this concrete thing I don't know in English) a cyclist comes down fast and yells his right to own the roads while there is a green light and I'm sure to cross over. These kind of pricks should be arrested. I've experienced especially cyclists who rage and drive regardless of any laws like it was Tour De France so many times and yet they feel entitled to yell at pedestrians who wait for green light and stay put.
Luckily most people watching superbowl have numbed themselves with alcohol in most cases so I'm sure the ad doesn't affect too much. Only one accident is needed to change your life forever. Take care.

There's always at least one shit commercial that tries to ride the coattails of a social justice cause to sell you something in the most shameless way possible. That, and there's always the WE'RE SO MOROSE AND SERIOUS IT'S TOTALLY ATTENTION GRABBING BECAUSE SUPERBOWL ADS ARE ALWAYS FUNNY AREN'T WE ORIGINAL GUYS??? commercials as well.
Yup... This is the first time I've actually been pissed off and felt genuine anger over an ad.
These are public service commercials though. The one in the OP is using a dead kid to sell their product. That's what really weirds people out.
I mean, it's certainly odd, tonally, and probably in poor taste but I don't think I'd qualify this is the most bizarre I've ever seen. It doesn't leave me wondering, "What were they thinking?!" like some ads have over the years.
Momma don't even get paid. You have liability on your homeowners policy but it doesn't apply to your own child drowning in the bathtub. Really the ad is sheer idiocy on every level.
I remember our stream died right as that commercial played and we thought we were missing something important. But then it repeated and we were like, yeah, we were better off.
Why? Maybe you should be airing it during the superbowl. The purpose is to raise awareness.
thought this was gonna be the seal commercial with all the kids singin about how they parents fucked
I definitely saw weirder commercials than that before. A few years ago they were all "sappy inspirational make you want to cry" ads. I felt like shit watching them.
At least that one was a good commercial.

An entire room full of people thought this was a joke ad. When it ended the joke was on us.
Answered several times in the thread.
Good intentions does not mean good execution.
You think? I mean, I can see the unintentional comedy, but the horror absolutely wins here IMO
Okay, this is a disturbing ad... but gotta admit those YouTube comments are gold and now I feel bad for laughing. lol
"why do the kids look so camly at it like robots"
"because they're Irish and therefore have no will to live"
Was worth entering the thread for.... thank you! I have two English bullies.
Clearly you're unfamiliar with the safety ads of the UK, Ireland and other countries, because they tend to go for the "scare em straight" route by showing gruesome depictions of kids splattered by cars or generally killed by accidents, rather than just talking about it.
Lol I don't see the problem with either the OP ad or the Dodge MLK ad. *shrug*
Oh fuck, god damn. That was terrifying jesus.
Reminds me of this Canadian work place safety ad, lemme find it...
Fuck that actually hit me hard seeing it again, ugh. Certainly effective though....

Do you want to lol and shrug it off or learn something.
Here's the same ad with a different speech.
And even without that, it was incredibly disingenuous. Fake deep shit.
And then even that's harsh. Accidents are just accidents. Some preventable, others ... I think about the opening of A Quiet Place.
it was mostly for the person who asked for the coffee incest ad
