I RATE ADS

sjbooher: FloTV? TruTV? What? Who? Huh? Troy Polamalu = Steeler = Pittsburgh = Worst = F. And really, is his Q rating that high that he deserves the 2nd (I’m guessing he’s at least in the top 5 right now) most commercials of any NFL player?

jtherkal: I’m confused. I liked the Polamalu shampoo commercials. And sometimes commercials where people are miniature are funny, but I’m just not feeling this one. It did a good job communicating the message, at a time when people are starting to realize we’ll be without football for six months, that they can get more football on Tru TV (which used to be Court TV, I believe, and then maybe Crime TV, they can’t pick a winning formula). And if you’re going to do a Puxatony Phil joke, why not use Phil Rivers? C.

sjbooher: They should just run the OJ trial on a loop… that was the only time that network was relevant.

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. But they’ve lost it here. And for the record, I love Wilbon and Kornheiser! I would say let’s get them in an ad, but that might ruin them as well. F.
