So that's what Megan Fox gets up to in her spare time.

Megan Fox's Acer Ad is the Weirdest Thing You'll See All Day : Read more

 

[bavman]

The F is this?

 

[wannabepro]

I like the 'bake it' ad. It's actually quite funny.

 

[rohitbaran]

What?

 

[wannabepro]

The other one is just kinda weird.

 

[heavy_metal]

The "bake it" one is better, but they are both strange.

 

[cptnjarhead]

wtf was that?

 

[Sacr]

As a big fan of the 24 series, I enjoyed the Sutherland ad. However, both ads completely overshadow the intended point. The Megan ad is too weird to care, and the "bake it" is too cool/funny to care about the computer involved.

 

[scythe944]

Just goes to show, a hot girl in a commercial can sell anything. Where can I buy an acer, now!

 

[enewmen]

I understand it. Maybe I'm weird.
BTW, I'm too old to know/care who is Megan Fox

 

[scythe944]

Forgot to add, SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!!!!

 

[captainblacko]

3 things:
1.the magen fox ad is stupidly weird
2.the bake it ad is awesome but i forgot its a pc ad...
3. its THIS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitaya

 

[safcmanfr]

totally wierd, but I'll remember the advert - and isn't that the entire point?

 

[cookoy]

Hello Megan, can i have a cupcake? Wonder if Acer is planning to make one for the superbowl. Those SB commercials are an event itself.

 

[jerm1027]

Maybe my standards of weird are above average, but I found ads to be just plain stupid. They also fail to get the point across.

 

[jojesa]

Maybe it does not have to do anything with Acer, but I will remember those crazy ass ads.

 

[michalmierzwa]

Acer has a weird sense of humor! ROFL

 

[dgingeri]

Megan Fox is kind of weird in her own right.

 

[skaz]

They had the chance to use Megan Fox and they picked a weird focus on the desire to talk dolphins. Hhaha. Okay.

 

[ta152h]

Wow, she's already losing her looks.

Why they show her talking to Dolphins is pretty simple. Computers are commodities. There's really no differentiation done at the OEM level, and instead they have to sell the sizzle instead of the steak. You try to make a commercial to hold interest, show it as a tool (even though a different computer could have done it, this is irrelevant), and people associate this sub-consciously with a tool that can be used to do exciting things.

You have to remember, people using computers now are in many cases morons. It's not the 1970s, 1980s, or even early 1990s when computers were owned by only a segment of the society. So, you get Coke/Beer/Corn Chips type advertising. They don't tell you why their computer is better, no one would understand it anyway. They sell the sizzle. They do understand that.

It's sad, really, but not as sad as the fact women lose their looks so quickly. She seems to have set a record. Yuck.

 

[ddpruitt]

We need an ad with Jack Bauer doing his thing against Megan Fox. She's getting more and more annoying lately.

 

[ssd_pro]

And they are all using Windows 7.

 

[clonazepam]

[citation][nom]ta152h[/nom]Wow, she's already losing her looks... Yuck.[/citation]

Correction: Wow, she's already losing the looks she bought awhile back, but, she still looks better than the original version.

Thanks for the article about ads. We need more of these to point out the particularly good ads we miss while trying to avoid them all.

 

[redeye]

the jack bauer ad is better, because it at least connects the some you are familiar with (a Cupcake and the 24 show)... so you remember the crazyness, and the last shot is aof a laptop with the dynamite cupcakes, And by inference a dynamite laptop.

the Megan Fox Ad is odd because you are transfixed by meagan Fox's hands, and by her, which means that the
so the commerical is more about her, and her hands, and not the laptop...
it is funny in parts, but But trying to "tech-a-fie" Megan Fox is impossible Because she's intrinsically hot( or a movie star, so she out shines the product)...
and thus (detracts from the message)...

Daniella Ruah (NCIS: LA) would have been a better choice... (BTW, daniella in my opinion is the hottest girl in prime time tv... )
