Sorry to see my friend's daughter's Pop Tart commercial she produced came in just above Trump.

(13,776 posts)It was fun to see Jonathan Van Ness.
But the overlap between the Super Bowl audience and the "Queer Eye" audience is probably not as big as the overlap between the general population as a whole and the "Queer Eye" audience. So it should do much better in other settings, especially with a younger audience.
Also, the product itself sounds kind of weird, so that might have had something to do with it.
Congratulations to your friend's daughter for getting a Super Bowl ad gig! That's a big deal!

(12,374 posts)But the commercial flew by so quickly and I didnt quite get it. Pop tart? Pretzel? Sweet? Savory? Zoomed by.

(4,267 posts)He had some people over whom I didn't know. My friend is a centrist leaning conservative but doesn't like trump.
Well when the commercial came on, turns out most of the people there I didn't know -loved- it. "Trump is so great", "the economy is amazing", "the price of gas is less than $2 (texas) can't beat that!"
There were too many trumpers to take on by myself.

(1,115 posts)Between being dead last in the ratings for a $10 million add buy and Greta Thunberg being nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, maybe we'll get lucky and the anger in Trump will burst an artery in his brain today.

(296 posts)it was mostly bullshit. All he did was sign it. He had nothing to do with it being created. It was a bipartisan Bill that was introduced By Doug Collins(R), surprisingly as he was such a dick during the House Impeachment Inquiry. It was embraced by the Dems, but a number of Repubs voted against it. So, big deal Donny, you signed it.

ScratchCat
(1,977 posts)And I had no idea what the commercial was until the lady said "DJT" and then his "I support this message thingy".
Then I was like, "Really? A woman praising him for how the economy has helped her? That's the best he could do? LOL!!"

(225 posts)I've seen better commercials advertising hemorrhoid cream or prescription drugs. Speaking of, where were his disclaimers? You know, "May cause loss of your Republic, your rights, and your economy"?
calimary
(81,179 posts)But the commercial does fit nicely as an ad for a human hemorrhoid.
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)given a life sentence for a nonviolent drug offense being released from prison. Short, touching ad, appealing woman's gratitude at having a new chance at life. Even Trump's involvement couldn't ruin her story.
So it seems noteworthy that Trump's attempt to credit himself with this decency and to claim he undoing a lot of injustices was apparently widely disbelieved and rejected.

(794 posts)The ad was disgusting. Criminal Justice Reform has been promoted by the ACLU, The Innocence project, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the NAACP, People for the American Way, and others. That Trump should take "credit" for Justice Reform is a travesty and vomit-making.

lark
(23,081 posts)Think when they figured out he wouldn't be "exonerated" by then, they pulled the real ad and made this one at the last minute with very little aforethought. It looked cheap, facile, and truly stupid. Even the way it was filmed is so cheesy. It was cheap tinsel, just like the idiot who stole the office.

(44,996 posts)Goes to show - you can't advertise your way out with a fundamentally lousy product. But it's good the Trump team wasted so much time and money and proved to the world, again, how shallow and incompetent they are.

(225 posts)And, if he gets re-elected, the charges waiting on him (remember, he's Individual1 in 1 case) won't affect him once he leaves office. They changed the rules for the statute of limitations for those charges.

(12,516 posts)or the rating given by "the panel"?
Because #7 has DOUBLE the youtube views of #1; and thats tens of millions!
And #5, Jason Mamoa, was by far the best!!

(14,566 posts)a stupid commercial about how pop tarts have fixed the pretzels. Ick.
You know what's always been amazing to me? Many of the millions who watched the SB can readily engage in some very high-level analysis of virtually any sports team - strengths, weaknesses, prowess of individual athletes, quality of coaching, and statistics out the nose.
I'm sure you know people like that. I do. My ex son-in-law can tell you off the cuff how the Mizzou football team is doing, quarterback and other stats and so on. He can do this across the board - football, basketball, baseball, hockey. The guy is very sophisticated.
Until you find out he doesn't know how many justices sit on the Supreme Court, or who his US Senators or Representative are.
Remember that old cult movie Rollerball? The 1975 one with James Caan? Remember how the corporate governments kept the people in check with Rollerball, which was a substitute for war?
Not to cut down sports, though I've never been particularly interested. But basic civics is pretty goddamned important. And people just blow it off. It is appalling to me that most Americans, a HUGE majority, don't even think about what is going on with their local, state and national governments until the week of the election and then they decide based on..............what?
That's part of the reason we have fucking Trump in office. Ignorance, white supremacists and Russia. The big three, I guess.
Sigh.

(33,509 posts)His supporters wouldn't like it because they're racists. They think all African Americans should be under some kind of restraint.
And his critics wouldn't like it because they know it's just another Trump lie. He has hated African Americans his entire life, and letting an African American woman go free for a drug conviction does nothing to erase that fact.

(3,722 posts)he grants clemency to one woman in prison in order to generate a photo op and declares it "prison reform".
As usual, stupid people eat it up.
