Worst Commercial Placement Ever

Posted by & filed under Other / Canada.

I’m very inter­ested in ads and com­mer­cials and I find some of the cre­ative ideas behind ads sim­ply spec­tac­u­lar. This ad how­ever must have been placed in the worst posi­tion EVER!

Warn­ing: Scene before ad may be dis­turb­ing and may con­tain Bat­tlestar Galac­tica spoilers.

    Oh man…now I am going to think of that scene every time I see that commercial!

    ARGH

    OMG!! The whole time I’m like what am I watch­ing for! Then the actual com­mer­cial came on omg the visual and that song how freak­ing strange they set it up like that!!

    Ive never watched that show but I wasn’t expect­ing what happened.

    Wow.

    Oh my! You’re absolutely right—what a com­mer­cial to have on after that!
    I always dis­liked that Pre­mium Plus ad. To me it looks so gross…like some­one get­ting sick in reverse. EEEEeeeewwww!!!

    HAHAH, oh god, I just burst into near uncon­trol­lable laugh­ter as soon as the ad came on, the music didn’t help either. I know, I’m a hor­ri­ble per­son, but I def­i­nitely needed a good laugh today. Thanks.

    Oh that is def­i­nitely clas­sic irony adver­tis­ing! The shot in the cubi­cals really gave me a chuckle!

    I agree that was crazy but maybe if you look at it from another view, Cel­e­brate life, be happy, you don’t know tom­morow and remem­ber that you are watch­ing a tv show. There is more to life than that. After watch­ing a dis­turb­ing scene you need to see some­thing more upbeat. Though not sure about pre­mium plus but it gets peo­ple talking.

    That com­mer­cial played a lot in the first trimester of my preg­nancy and I could never watch it with­out run­ning to the toi­let. Need­less to say, I was off soup for awhile. :)

    Oh, and I should have heeded your warn­ing. I’m now watch­ing the DVD’s of Bat­tlestar Galac­tica and I’m only on sea­son two. Now I know what hap­pens to her…

    Jan­ice, there is a lot more to her char­ac­ter than that one scene. you have a lot of unspoiled bat­tlestar to watch, so do feel too bad now.

    That was hilar­i­ous. I watched it live but never made the con­nec­tion before…what a bizarre ad to choose.
