Truly Awful
Posted in Uncategorized
I did an ad like this in my student book, but it was for Loaded and chose a rather less sympathetic charity to take the piss out of. I’m also happy to admit it was juvenile and not something to be particularly proud of (although it did go down rather well when we showed it around).

To do it in real life, and in the Superbowl no less, is a misguided error of epic proportions.
Fuck off Groupon.
i don’t really get it.
and, oh timothy hutton.
he was a great actor. what the fuck happened there?
That’s not funny. Hutton is shit.
this is so fucking stupid. and shilling out millions to air it during superbowl is hilarious. how dumb could it get.
i am laughing about you cpb. is kenneth cole around lol. stupid twats. oh yeah, and: FUCK OFF groupon. i never liked you, making some bucks for doing nothing. thanks for showing me how dumb you really are.
i know they got some pseudo social responsibility crap going on. which is of course fcucking pr reputaion baloney. point is, if you are socially responisble, you do not say shit like that spot. stupid twats.
seriously, how dumb could it get. why are stupid twats ruining everything?
mankind is lost.
I think they tried to walk the thin line between satire and genuine disrespect and lost their balance.
mindlblowingly bad choices all the way. wow.
1999 called Groupon. they want their sophomoric unfunny super bowl dotcom shit back.
someone needs a good slap.
When we were on the D & AD Workshops a bit back a guy did something similar to this, didn’t go down well at all. The CD wasn’t happy and gave him a bit of a bollocking.
i tell you what mountie. they try to gain publicity from the suffering of a people. this is absolutely disgusting. and doing it in a way that makes fun of the situation. you know, whatevs, im having a great fish curry…
this is not funny. and it is not satire. it is no disrespect for the tibetian people either. the only people they truly disrespect are they themselves and their members. stupid twats.
they tried to satirize ignorant cunts. how funny because they didnt realise that they are – putting this shit out!
oh yes, im a digusting twat who likes to squeeze the best possible value for money out of the owners of the tibetian restaurant! as if they hadnt it hard enough already hahaha. funny! this spot makes me think and check out the great groupon donation pr crap. they are so nice. the 15 bucks i save for my dinner is what the tibetean restaurant folk cant send home, but i will just donate a fiver, maybe, and then groupon will match up. that will make up for the bucks the fired cook from the tebetian take away was sending home. blah blah. fuck off groupon. fuck off cpb.
i totally would like to slap every cunt involved in this wankfest in the face. not violently. you know, just a tiny little bit.
uh oh, wheres my comment? the long one which is still awaiting moderation. i just saved it, without hesitation.
feel free to delete this comment.
ill just post the long one again, if its not up tomorrow, my friend. if you wont publish it then, you dont wanna. what gives, man? anyway, now, you know about my plan. and also that im tipsy if you hadnt guessed. its always the same, im making my words a rhyming mess. eminem can fuck off.
The last four ads you’ve posted have been shit in general. Is there really nothing more worthwhile we could be doing with that TV time? Come on! Its about time creatives thought a little smarter. This is just lazy and client pleasing.
You have a genuinely disturbed person on your message boards.
This was directed by Christopher Guest ‘n all. What a pie of shit…
≤3 mary.
‚â§3 mountie 🙂
Just a few miles away though is another site that the local tourist board is probably rather less proud of.
