I’ve not often been moved to not to use a product or service because of a commercial…but as of late Tri-City Bank of Milwaukee has been airing a series of odd, theatre exercise ads that annoy the ever-living hell out of me.
They consist of a man and a woman, wearing contrasting back and white outfits, each standing in front of a contrasting background panel to offset their costumes.
They “riff” on positive words associated with the bank…on and on…and on.
Aside from the fact they simply make me want to ascend to the bell tower with a sniper rifle, the actors they got for the ads (all locals, most of whom I know) are simply horrible with the material. Granted they don’t have much to work with, but it’s almost as if some washed-up local director conned the bank into giving him a ton of cash; which he then absconded with to Thailand and spent on manboy whores. The remaining $200 went towards these spots.
Josh knows what I’m talking about. I can almost taste the bile rising in his mouth when the ads air.
Yes, you could have done that better.
