During remarks on the opioid crisis in New Hampshire on Monday, President Donald Trump promised “a large-scale rollout of commercials that show how bad it is for the kids.”

We already know from the movies that at any moment, we will wake from our cozy reality to discover ourselves geriatric prisoners having spent our lives at the hands of robots who force feed us ice cream to an ironically chipper 1950's jingle. Do we really need a reminder?

UK-based industry watchdog Advertising Standards Association just released new regulations intended to cut down on the gender stereotypes that run rampant through advertising, which is great for them, but somehow more irritating for us.

Rimmel London has been forced to pull an apparently “misleading” mascara ad featuring Cara Delevingne and her dangerously beautiful lashes.

You may have noticed the use of Starship’s 1987 hit “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” in a recent Chick-fil-A commercial and thought, “Hmm, I thought Starship built this city on rock and roll, not hate,” or, “Well I’ll be damned, breeders have torn yet another artifact of queer culture and woven it into the fabric of…

Regardless of how you feel about the various ethical issues surrounding them, I think we can all agree that the TV commercials for prescription medications are generally awful. They’re made by teams of people who sacrifice their creative fulfillment for buckets of money from billionaire pharmaceutical companies that…

If you clicked play on the video above and shut your eyes, you would hear the voice of a man discussing how it felt to become a father via adoption, and a certain happiness might wash over you. “What a nice story,” you’d think. “Isn’t becoming responsible for a life an unparalleled human act?”

The folks at Flavorwire called it “a raw, merciless portrait of human hunger.” The Daily Mail called it “cringey.” But I call it foreshadowing. If I’d been a Sydney resident in the mid 90s and seen Cate Blanchett appear on my TV screen asking a 3,000-year-old Australian genie for a magical carton of Tim Tams, I’d have…

Yes, the video you see before you is indeed one of those devastating ASPCA commercials. And now you’re tempting to press play, aren’t you? I know, I know — I’m cruel.

There are lots of recommendable things about Vote Audrey, a short film directed by Lena Dunham to promote fashion designer Rachel Antonoff’s collaboration with & Other Stories. It’s bright, it’s bubbly, it features our very own Collier Meyerson. The story of a young politico (Zoe Kazan) who, despite discouragement,…

"In the age of knowing what you're made of, there's no room for erectile dysfunction," says Viagra, who claims that their most recent batch of commercials show men "engaging in daily activities without letting anything get in their way." Right: they don't let anything get in their way of BEING HOT.

It's been well documented (if not well researched): At some point in the 1990s, Ad Dads very suddenly became moronic punchlines. I don't know who was more responsible for this—ad agencies or brands or Homer Simpson—but the tipping point was reached quickly. It was an anti-Mad Men ad movement. It was anti-creative. And…

"Boots and pants and boots and pants." "Shopping!" Could this awful local commercial for East Hills Mall in Missouri be for real? My editors said no, so I called to find out. Spoiler alert: It's real and it. is. glorious. Watch first, read later.
