TNT Made Another One Of Those Crazy ‘Push The Button To Add Drama’ Commercials

|

Fast payday loans For Every One

Keep in mind the first ‘ Push to Include Dramatization’ ad made by TNT? Well right here’s a brand-new one from Holland that ares crazier than the first. It’s got everything: sniper fire, kidnapping, explosions, naked men rollicking, you call it. “Zoo pets?” No zoo pets. “Watercraft chase after?” No watercraft chase. “Why don’t they ever make these in the United States?” Good question. 1) Some patriot with a real firearm would try to be a hero or 2) all the witnesses would sue for emotional damages. “Real.” I’m on the phone with my lawyer today due to the fact that the music they made use of virtually gave me a panic attack.

Watch this: Apple’s TV commercials from 1977 to present day

Newton Apple commercial

Every new product launch from Apple seems to bring along a new TV commercial, and one YouTube user claims to have organized every commercial the company has made into a single playlist. Stretching right back to 1977 with the Apple II, the 485 commercials span the history of Apple products. The classics are all there — including the legendary Macintosh commercial directed by Ridley Scott along with the iconic iPod dance numbers — but we recommend you watch some of the more goofier attempts from the 1980s.

Apple shows off the iPhone 5 in new commercials

iPhone 5 ad

To accompany today’s launch of the iPhone 5, Apple has uploaded a new series of commercials revealing off the unit. The three advertisements, which seem like they’re told by The Newsroom‘s Jeff Daniels, each focus on a specific element of the brand-new phone: its thinner profile, the panorama photo function, and the brand-new screen. A fourth spot, just entitled “Ears,” is devoted to the EarPod headphones.

In July, Apple debuted a suite of commercials in the course of the London Olympics that appeared to be a marked departure from the business’s usual advertising style. With their focus on the iPhone itself, these new advertisements appear to be a return to the ” item as hero” technique that has served Apple so well in the past.

Dish Network’s Hopper DVRs Can Now ‘Auto Hop’ Through Commercials

|

Author: James Cliff

Tell me if this sounds familiar — you’re sitting on a couch watching television, and the commercial breaks seem way longer than the snippets of the show you’re actually trying to watch.

As it turns out, some Dish Network customers have been granted a bit of respite from that advertising onslaught. Users who have their living rooms tricked out with the company’s Hopper DVRs can now automatically skip every commercial break with a single touch thanks to their newly-launched Auto Hop feature.

They’ll never have to sit (or 30-second skip) through another promo for America’s Got Talent ever again… unless they’re the kind of people who like their television live.

You see, that new Auto-Hop functionality only works as part of the DVR’s PrimeTime Anytime feature, which can automatically record and store primetime TV programs from ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC in HD for up to eight days. That’s admittedly a pretty cool concept on its own — users are stripped of the need to set up recordings and make plans around their favorite network television shows, as their box just stores all of it — and Auto Hop makes it less of a headache whenever people actually get to sit down and veg out.

Most of the time, anyway. According to a recent release from the television service provider, Auto Hop works with “most shows recorded using PrimeTime Anytime,” which only stokes the flames of my curiosity: what shows won’t it work with?

Alas, while Auto Hop would be a marvelous addition to the live television watching experience, we’ll just have to settle for the feature as it stands. Dish subscribers who don’t have the prerequisite hardware (or would rather watch TV at the same time everyone else does) still have the standard 30 second time skip to lean on.

Note: Actual commercial is after the jump.

This is a video of Steve Jobs voicing one of Apple’s iconic ‘Think Different’ campaign commercials. This version never aired though, they ended up going with Richard Dreyfuss (Dr. Leo Marvin!) for the final edit. So, yeah. Try to think different, I dare you.

The Top 5 Super Bowl Commercials Already Out

|

Author: Tiffany Shoman

There isn’t anything quite like Super Bowl commercials. For many of you, it’s the best part of the game. So we thought we’d show you ahead of time some of our favorites that have already come out.

Just so you know, this year is being considered The Year of the Autos, with many of the companies getting back into profits and all. The big automakers haveÂ purchasedÂ about one-third of all air time. Maybe it’s because all these commercials are longer than 30 sec.

5. Volkswagen Beetle

This of course is to get you ready for the next-gen Beetle on its way later this year. Nothing much here, just a little clever.
