I’m not talking here about a catchy phrase, like “Where’s the beef”,
I thought the Joe Isuzu and Fed Ex ads were pretty good too.
Ugh.
I’ve seen that ad. I didn’t remember what the car was.
I think you got the same idea. Those ads were clever, and the catch phrase worth millions. They were short.
I’d say more than half of the current commercials are mindless, and they’re probably written by young left wing liberal nut jobs who are too lazy to come up with something clever or witty.
Infiniti.
Never bought one.
Hahahahahahaaaaaa!!!!
I haven’t seen it, but it sounds like it misses the mark like this one.
Pretty much left TV when “The Walking Dead” and “Dr. Who” took a dive.
Went back to reading books.
Infiniti is just a mediocre Nissan with a bigger price tag and a (slightly) better class of sales guy.
They tried to emulate the Toyota success of Lexus but never made it.
Most ads have target demos and may be totally incomprehensible to those not in the target group. Sounds like this one is aimed at childless, work-from-home laptop classers. I guess that’s who buys Infiniti - I wouldn’t know.
Yup. Directed at the same kind of people.
... and targeted at the “Aspirational snooty rich”. i.e someone who wants to pose that they are rich.
I only see TV ads by accident but this one isn’t embarrassing or enraging like some. Writer is a sniveler though.
I agree with you. I couldn’t identify with most of the super bowl ads.
This Infiniti ad is strange. I think you’ve pegged who it’s trying to target.
The lady is in her car, and it’s parked in front of the band stage, and she’s listening intently at first so you assume, one of her kids is in the band.
But as soon as she hears the screeching, she rolls up the windows.
“Infiniti is just a mediocre Nissan with a bigger price tag and a (slightly) better class of sales guy. They tried to emulate the Toyota success of Lexus but never made it.”
Actually, they did make it, but in a niche market. Just like the Subaru is the Lesbo Limo, the Inifinity is the homosexual car of choice. Kid you not.
I’ve test driven their SUVs. They’re underpowered, and not even close to the quality of Lexus.
Hahaha.
I think these ad people are lazy. Any one of us could come up with something better.
As a parent who survived numerous grade school concerts, the ad caught my attention. Not so much the tenth time around.
