Commercials We Hate on SNY - 2016 Edition

themetfairy Mar 07 2016 07:10 PM

I think this is for the Nature Conservancy, but I'm not sure. A family of four gets into a car, the parents in front and the two pre-tweens in the back. The son puts on his headphones, but the daughter keeps annoyingly humming at her brother, hitting him with her toys, etc. For the entire ride! And the parents let him! If that kid gave his sister a good smack nobody in the universe would blame him. Why are these parents letting their daughter be such an undisciplined brat? It's irrelevant that they eventually get out of the car at Central Park - it's a blessing to get out of this clown car no matter where it's stopped! Oh, and the same advertiser has another commercial where this annoying hipster family takes a NYC bus to go kayaking, taking up everyone's time to secure their kayaks on the bus and taking up tons of room in the bus with their equipment. We're supposed to admire them for finding nature, but I hate these selfish assholes who should have sprung for a cab rather than unreasonably inconveniencing all of the other passengers on the bus.

My apologies to the Nature Conservancy. The offending organization is Discover The Forest. I truly hat them.

Right? It's like they hired Ayn Rand to head up their advertising.

I am just astounded that someone would have to take a bus to a forest. I am so lucky...I have a forest behind my yard and I love it.

This is the commercial that makes me bonkers - [youtube]YBHzDyyVqIs[/youtube] And here's a link to the selfish hiptsters on a bus ad.

Trust-fund hipsters get "back to nature" by traveling to a wedding in a car that gets 9 mpg

But presumably they went into it knowing it was a possibility. Fwiw I had to google to figure out which commercial it was, I couldn't remember the brand. I often conflate it with "Guy drives clumsy girl up into the mountains to propose." I think that one's Mazda though.

cooby Jun 06 2016 07:16 PM Re: Commercials We Hate on SNY - 2016 Edition

Wow not even close to 60 seconds!

Lefty Specialist Jun 06 2016 07:34 PM Re: Commercials We Hate on SNY - 2016 Edition

It's a small wedding party; you could wait things out. Moms and Dads nowhere to be seen; I guess they were the smart ones. Or maybe they and everybody else is back at the lodge, figuring NOBODY would be stupid enough to go out in this weather, regardless of what car they had. Dad's probably hitting the bourbon again, muttering about not trusting this doofus with his little girl. And then they come back, all wet and muddy; a bunch of broken heels and one of the bridesmaids has a sprained ankle and it turns out the guy who married them isn't really a reverend at all, he just paid for it on-line. Dad's really in his cups by now, and Mom is in tears because all those beautiful family shots they were going to take will be ruined. Groom's stepfather comes over to say, "Hey, we'll all be laughing about this in thirty years!", and Dad delivers a haymaker that sends Stepdad over the mahogany bar into the Cutty Sark, screaming "You and that goddamn Land Rover- it's all your fault, you bastard!!!!!"

cooby Jun 06 2016 09:03 PM Re: Commercials We Hate on SNY - 2016 Edition

Now that ad would make the 'commercials we love' thread!

Damn - that would make the rest of the commercial worth it!

Getting back to plastic, my guess is that these are public service ads and not paid advertising? Do the Mets/SNY have trouble selling ad space? They're NL Champs! In New York!

Pepsi, Party City, Caesar's.. added the Budweiser landing, because Budweiser is always glad to throw more money at teams in exchange for banishing craft beer.

They're actually very good at buying out craft breweries like: 10 Barrel Blue Point Breckenridge Devils Backbone Elysian Brewing Four Peaks Golden Road Goose Island Kona Brewing Redhook Brewery Shock Top Widmer Brewing Many of which are sold at Citi. So they get you either way.

Ceetar Jun 09 2016 02:24 PM Re: Commercials We Hate on SNY - 2016 Edition

they don't actually own Kona/Redhook/Widmer, those are part of the Craft Brewers Alliance (BEER in stock terms, which I own) which Budweiser does own part of. That's somewhat confusing business stuff, but worth a distinction I think. But part of that ownership means getting linked into the distribution network. There's a much longer answer there, but I won't get into it. But yeah, they get you either way. That's their game. It's a problem. There's benefits to being able to get Goose Island's Sofie and Lolita at roughly every major league park, etc, but there are a lot of local beers that would be better that just don't get the opportunity. I mean, Singlecut in Queens is one of the best breweries in the city and not avail at Citi.
