Tried the links but kept getting an error. Does it require a viewer of something?

This is the best thing I've seen in years. Once advertisers get ahold of something, the Kool Kidz won't go near it.

Yeah, I remember that last one.

It was on for quite a bit over here. Great commercial.

Those were on in the States about six month ago. It is true, once advertisers get a hold of trend it's dead. The thing that make these ads especially bad is that they aren't even well produced. The just scream cheap and cheesey!

Exhibit B (Quicktime)


Those Benihana CMs are meant to be "fun"...too bad they didn't try to do something a little bit more cliched, sheesh.

The story wrestler Rocky Aoki the founder Benihana is fitting of a soap opera. There's rumors of Yakuza laundering of money and blood-feud with his brother that resulted in the Gasho chain. Basically, Benihana is run by a zero-education, Japan-reject, musclehead with lowbrow taste---perfect for American Success .:twisted:

Sidekick

In this case, the advertiser actually hired a real production company.

Smart move on their part. The Benihana ones both look like shit, and not in the "low budget is cool" kind of way either. The T-Mobile one is appropriately slick. A shame that the Sidekick is the modeled on a bar of soap.
More caustic. Less saint. :twisted:
