This is an offshoot of the internet Pop Up thread.

Have any of you ever seen a commercial on TV and its made you go out and buy something?

You have companies ploughing millions into various campaigns and I cant help but feel its a waste of time because no commercial has ever gone out and ever made me want to buy something.

What about you?

Yeah, fastfood sometimes. Video games used to capture me quite often.

Only food really. If I see a really tasty looking piece of food, I generally get a craving for it.

I guess the same goes for select movie and TV show previews, and the occasional music video, but those shouldn't count.

Fast Food? as in McDonalds ad stuff?

Over here when McDonalds advertises.. we get to see a silly clown dancing with a bunch of kids.. i cant see how that makes you want to go there.

Video Games sell on their own merits i believe. Even crap games have some great advertising campaigns but everyone knows which ones to avoid.


I still fail too see the lure of TV commercial Campaigns

We mostly don't have Ronald on the ads that much anymore, just a more urban style advertisement with a R&B/Rap style song for its theme.

No, I'm not. Matty S. is way too cool to be taken in by television.

And McDonalds advertising are great! They're the greatest company in the world! I bow down to you McDonalds, the greatest employer a man has ever had!

I'm in agreement that I've never rushed out and bought something purely because of an advert.

But I believe advertising can be effective in hyping/raising awareness of something. For example, I greatly look forward to the Matrix Revolutions. Partially due to footage, partially due to first film, partially due to inevitable great action.. and partially due to the adverts on telly. It's just raised my anticipation.

Which is what the best adverts do - they don't aim to make everyone buy their product - they merely make the people already interested even MORE interested. Which is why so many adverts are ineffective.

Yes, I prefer the old school Ronald commercials, with the fry bushes, the hamburgaler, the purple dude, and all that.
