Video of the day -- you're doing it wrong


A lot of ads use the strategy of showing us as hopeless klutzes if we aren't using the advertised product.  This is a compilation of those moments from various commercials.  It's really just for laughs -- but remember this the next time some ad tries to tear down your self-image in order to sell you something to rebuild it.

Hilarious. I love watching people struggle when there really isn't any struggle.

Also the ads for some gadget that will make my life brilliantly easy? The best part is:

"But wait! There's more!"

And the voice over tells me I'll get lots more stuff for my 4 easy payment of $29.99!

The thing is, these commercials must have actually worked, or they wouldn't have kept on making them. That says something less than encouraging about the acumen of some of the public.

It is pretty funny, when they're all thrown together like that!
