There is no doubt that commercials have been getting weirder and weirder the past few years, I imagine trying to catch the “youth demographic” or something like that. I have no problem with this, in fact if a commercial seems truly clever or original then I’ll give credit where credit is due.
I caught this gem tonight, while watching the Red Sox game, for pizza chain Papa Gino’s:
Very unexpected from a typically conservative company, at least when it comes to advertising. I think I like it though and it’s certainly not as creepy as their other “edgy” commercial (references to cheese and sexual acts in the same ad? no thanks).
