jtherkal: Ugh. Anything involving nipple clamping or belly buttons makes me want to puke. Not a good feeling to evoke when you’re trying to sell a drink. And all from such a horrifically overused formula. Person can’t do something. Person uses product. Miraculously person can now do something. We assume product is responsible.

This was mildly amusing, at best. The only redeeming factor is that it brought me back to the sixth grade roller-rink with Push It. Yo baby pops, yeah you, come here give me a kiss, better make it fast or else I’m gonna get pissed, can’t you hear the music pumpin’ hard like I wish you would? Now push it. Push it real good. That’s from memory. D.

sjbooher: Ugh is right. So now we’ve had a fat guy clamping his nipples, a horribly disgusting women and a dog’s slobber all used to sell food or drink products? Doesn’t it always feel better when you alone are not the stupid one? Somebody organize a happy hour for the various people behind these mistakes. F.

jtherkal: I’m not even going to pretend to understand what this means. Man likes Gatorade like dogs like water? Man drinks dogs? Dogs love Gatorade? Gatorade would drink Gatorade? The setup got my attention, and did make me feel kind of thirsty, but the payoff was terrible. Didn’t fit the Gatorade brand at all. Was this a consumer created ad? Or did some ad-man trick Gatorade into buying a video he made of his dog? D-.

sjbooher: I agree. No idea what they are trying here, unless it’s: “Our drink tastes like nasty dog slobber. Yum.” Also, I don’t know what the joke is, but the punchline is: Michael Vick!!! OHHHHH!!!! F.
