Wendy's gets rid of "That's Right™" →
Wendy’s is ending their 8-month old (and often mocked) “That’s Right™” campaign which featured people in red wigs in favor of focusing more on the logo and a new slogan—“It’s waaaay better than fast food. It’s Wendy’s”.
The campaign, which debuted during the season finale of “American Idol” in May, has generated attention,...

The oft-forgotten Super bowl commercial gems. →
Around this time of year, practically everyone puts out a list of the “best” superbowl commercials. Or the worst. Two things these lists have in common include getting the year the ad aired wrong (no, really it happens a lot) and then 85% of the ads on their carefully chosen lists are identical to the ads on everyone elses list. ;)
So here’s our twist on the lists, possibly...
Re-ordering the Super Bowl commercials in the... →
Hey kids. Since we’re gearing up to watch yet another super bowl only for the commercials, I thought I’d do a little re-arranging in our 35 years of super bowl commercials namely making the ads sort by highest voted first.
You can now see the “best of” according to logged in adgrunts on each year. For example, this is the 2005 superbowl commercials, the 2002 superbowl...
Pepsi to debut "deaf ad" during Super Bowl XLII →
I’m only putting “deaf” in quotation marks as a super bowl commercial can’t really be deaf, it’s an ad for crying out loud. Coolness though, that PepsiCo who is sponsoring the closed captioning for the game and had the idea to do a silent ad.
“Bob’s House” which will air during the superbowl is an ad which illustrates a popular joke in the hearing...

We interrupt our super bowl gossip to show you a funny or die video which is - *gasp* - actually funny. Jerry O’Connell bravely parodies the recent scientology “pep-talk with Tom Cruise” video.

When Advertisers Don't Want to Pay But Want Super... →
Evey year there are advertisers who don’t want to shell out the big bucks for Super Bowl commercial prices. They try to find ways to associate themselves with the big game - which doesn’t usually make the NFL too happy - which is why there are constant references to “the big game” instead of using the real name of the event.
According to MediaPost, the newest advertiser...
