In NJ, the annoying local commericials are Mundo Latino. Does the name have to be repeated 9 times in the commercial? Also, that hardware store with the father and son. Doesn't everyone in the world go to Lowe's or Home Depot?
If a father and son hardware store can afford advertising on MSG... I can't imagine how cheap it must be

Probably costs more to shoot your video then getting it during a hockey game

I can't figure out how these are even allowed in this day and age.

Isn't Just for Men the same product that had an ad with two young girls trying hook their presumably single father up with some random woman a few years ago, and then cheered when dad sent a picture to them before he was off to get some?

As someone who's worked in politics, and participated in media buys, the cost of advertising on local cable, even during a professional game, is relatively cheap. Political ads have to be given the best rates, but even so, an ad during a Carolina Hurricanes/Bobcats game in Charlotte, NC is something like $25/showing. Probably $35/non political. If you buy "in bulk", it works out to about $15/showing.

In New York/New Jersey, it might be $50 at most, in bulk $35-40.

No wonder all these ads are so damn low budget

I think it has to do with car insurance or something. I mentally block out the message when it airs because I'm so annoyed by it.

It has some fatazz in a lab coat doing some complex math equation on a green rolling chaukboard.

Yeah.. the commercials during the game are already the bottom of the barrel. The HNL commercials are the ones who can't afford to air it during the game...

Touch of Grey takes the cake for worst commercial. I think there are a lot of commercials that they show in the city that they don't show up here.

No way, there's definitely crappier commercials then that.

This is like the GM discussion lol

There's no good commercials so we're debating which ones suck less :p

I can't believe there is a market for that Touch of Gray stuff. Why wouldn't you just go all the way? Who the hell wants to leave a little bit of gray? And can't you get the same results by just using less of the regular just for men stuff?

lol it shows that you know what you're doing, but also shows that you can still do it (according to their other ToG commercial).

I'm not exactly sure, but I always thought the partial grey look was easier to maintain... Let's say you go completely back to black hair color, when the gray starts coming back, it must look really bad and then you have to apply more of the cream. But the partial grey look probably lasts longer without reapplication.

id venture to guess that the vast majority of their advertising is aimed at wealthy middle aged men in Jersey and other suburbs of NY

then it makes perfect sense to have all the car comercials

Car commercials have been a staple of Rangers games for as long as I can remember.

I used to go with my parents every year as a kid so I kinda like those commercials. They get me in the Christmas spirit.

Awesome.

I really hate the Chase commercials. It makes me hate the actress in every ad she is in (olive garden).

It all started because of the first ad. The husband is going on about how they can spend their points on stuff together. Skiing, vacations, shows etc. The wife butts in to tell him he can't. Why you might ask ? Because that B&*!h went and spent all the points on herself for that ugly dress.

lol, I remember that one. Unless the theoretical husband got lots of booty (lots doesn't just mean once or twice, haha) after that then that's just messed up. Worst part is the guy just smiles when she tells him that she used the points. Like he's thinking "Oh sweetie, you're so selfish, but it's so cute."
