#4.5 — Coke Zero — Troy Polamalu

sjbooher: In the words of the great Scott Huff, this ad is a complete dumpster fire. PTI’s Michael Wilbon put it best, I think: “The Troy Polamalu Coke ad was so bad. They desecrated a great ad, and the people who did it, should be fired. Ok? I know in this economy, I shouldn’t recommend that people be fired. They brutalized the greatest sports commercial of all-time. Mean Joe, ‘here kid’. They just killed it. GET OUT! GET OUT!”. F. F-.

jtherkal: The joke was that they were butchering the commercial. But that doesn’t make it okay. I loved those two guys in the original campaign, where they wanted to file a lawsuit against Coke Zero.

Coke Zero — Bond

jtherkal: Hmmmm. Coke Double Zero Seven. I like the idea of an innovative cola trying to build some sort of association with James Bond, but I don’t like this ad. Watching it once made me think, “I hope I don’t have to watch this a lot more.” It also makes me remember that Daniel Craig is an awesome James Bond and I wonder why you wouldn’t put him in a Coke ad. C+. But this grade is going to go down each time I have to watch this.
