The 5 Most Ridiculous March Madness Ads
The NCAA tournament is all about opportunity. For the players, it's one last chance to make a grab for glory before fading into post collegiate obscurity. For the office chatch, it's an excuse to recite meaningless statistics he overheard at Bennigan's the night before. And for the advertising world, it's a weeks-long excuse to bombard basketball fans with insanely out-of-touch commercials that, judging from last weekend's offerings, are produced by 95-year-old schizophrenics. Behold: the five strangest commercials that you are likely to see when you tune into the NCAA Tournament tonight.
1. Michael Jordan and Kevin Bacon Play a Flirtatious Game of One-on-One in Heaven
For some reason Michael Jordan and Kevin Bacon are in heaven together.
In heaven people communicate by making funny, sexually playful faces at each other.
The sexual tension is so thick, you can cut it with a knife.
THE END
What Hanes Was Thinking:"The two best spokesmodels for our latest campaign are probably a poorly aging, vaguely tranny-ish Kevin Bacon, and a poorly aging, slightly bloated Michael Jordan. Getting Jordan makes sense because spectators like to be reminded that the athletes they're watching will one day be unattractive shadows of their former selves, willing to do anything to turn a quick buck. And, of course, getting Kevin Bacon makes sense because"¦ um, we're involved in a high stakes game of "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" and need to connect the chick from Footloose to somebody in Space Jam."

Kinda funny how you say you're seeking a man, but your profile picture is exactly that. HOMOSEXUAL SPAMBOTS?? They are getting more and more advanced...
Just because Vitale went bald in the 50s doesn't mean he couldn't rock a mean Jew-fro back in the day. (Or Catholic-fro, whatever.)
ReplyI think you see racist caricatures because that's what you're looking for.
I thought it was a hat.
"College basketball fans will tolerate two hours of Vitale rambling about how Coach K's ejaculate cures cancer,"
ReplySo that's where V Foundation donations are going---hookers to give ol' Mike a steady supply of handjobs.
I don't know why Erin E-surance is so sexy but she is
ReplyI agree, they knew full well what the hell they were doing when they first drew her.
lol at Erin reaming her coach
ReplyIt sucks that E-surance commercials aren't animated anymore. But at least the real-life commercials don't have some blond guy give himself some retarded nickname for himself and think he's the s**t.
Reply*watches real-life E-surance commercial*
OK...well, at least Kevin Butler is in them, so they're kind of funny... oh wait, that's NOT Kevin Butler? Never mind then.
I've always wanted to work for the company that animated the E-Surance commercials, they look like they'd be fun to make.
ReplyEntirely insipid, but fun to make.
That was a riot. Well done!
ReplyThe e-surance girl does not appear to have any anime influence. The styles are completely different and to call that crap anime-like is an insult to all anime illustrators and fans. Also, anime is j*panese by definition.
Reply Hide All See All 4 RepliesYeah, I'm an anime nerd. Whatever.
Cool story
Nerd.
Anime is the j*panese word for cartoon. It's not an art-style, don't try to make it sound exclusive.
I've seen anime, and it kind of anime-style, although that style isn't consistent throughout all anime-artists.
#2 was fantastic.
ReplyThe Venn Snorg girl was fantastic.
every ad in article is fail
Replyhaha... faburobin, that's funny, but only because you pointed out how there are large numbers of bushy haired white people "in the wild". Why did you say that, you're making it too easy here... basically, the suggestion could be made that you think black people with afros live in the jungle. now don't get mad, i'm not saying you do think that, just that you left it so wide open... a claim about a white man with an afro being racist probably shouldn't be countered with "there are wild and uncivilized white people, too, so there!"
Reply...are you trolling or do you just enjoy being offended everywhere you look?
faburobin your comment made me chuckle. You win 5.. uh.. hell i dont have anything :p Keep track, when i find something, ill give it to you!
ReplyDick Vitale is not dressed as a black man. He is dressed as a basketball player with lots of hair; something he hasn't had in a long long time. Obviously you've never seen a white man with naturally curly hair, but they exist in large numbers in the wild.
