Gatorade Bars (I can't take it!!!)

I love great marketing and branding but I shudder when I think of how many parents are going to fork over extra dollars to buy little Johnny Gatorade bars thinking it will somehow enhance his athletic performance.
 
I've literally never seen this commercial before. And I watch every ISU game. :confused:

Or it's never annoyed me enough to register. And lots of things in this world annoy me! :D
 
It's a pick 'em for me between that and those "Turn down for...." commercials. They're both incredibly annoying and they make up 3/4 of the commercial rotation on ESPN.
That commercial is the worst. I was watching a game on ESPN3 and they played that commercial at least 15 times in 2 hours.
 
I got really tired of the Upscale with Prentice Penny commercials last night while watching the KState game. Since I watch a ridiculous amount of basketball during the tournament, pretty much every commercial gets irritating after the 60th time.
 
So, this of off topic but the guy in that commercial...is he hiding his Tech fandom from his buddies or his State fandom from his lady? The wife and have a couple debates about this, anyone care to weigh in?

Hes hiding is State fandom for the lady, IMO. Thats why he keeps trying to get his buddy to leave, and why he told him he was to busy to go to the game.

Then why did he take his gear off to talk to his buddy?

I think it's both, but clearly he doesn't want his State buddy to know either.
 
If the commercial annoys you it means you are not in their target audience. My son's eyes get drawn to the TV every time this commercial comes on and he doesn't know what Gatorade is. Whatever it is, that commercial catches his attention more than any other I have noticed.

Because his buddy will give him eternal crap for selling out for a chick.

Are you telling me, that in your circle of Cyclone friends, one could do a sudden 180, start wearing Hawkeye stuff to impress a girl and ever live it down?

She looks like a dime, though. The biggest.
 
The Charles Barkley commercials are going to get very annoying as well. I do like the Dan Band commercial however. That one is pretty funny especially since it makes fun of Purdue unintentionally
 
Yeah, I wonder who thought there would be great chemistry between Sam Jackson, Sir Charles, and Spike Lee. Those are crap commercials, bad enough you start thinking they are being ironic about it.

But they aren't.

I don't know. That "In the Annapolis" commercial from a couple years ago had me rolling.
