GravitySuitCollector Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 This made me lose a bit more faith in humanity. Why do they destroy themselves this way? I think this belittles the whole company and brand. It's one thing to have branded merchandise like toys, clothing, etc., but when they have a horrible plant in a commercial like this, it just hurts them. Anyways, the point of this thread is as the title says; seek out those commercials! I'm hoping to find more commercials that aren't for video games, but if it's good, let's see it! Well, time to watch something to get rid of this rage: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moseph Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 They should let Progressive make a Sonic game. It might turn out better than a lot of Sonic Team's efforts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I lol'd when I saw that. At least they didn't make him talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexy Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I remembered when Lara Croft was used to advertise around 10 years ago. And boy was it awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arek the Absolute Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I see nothing wrong with the progressive sonic commercial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuketheXjesse Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I see nothing wrong with the progressive sonic commercial. Yeah what the hell is the problem? I thought it was pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocre Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I like that they used the Sonic 3 invincibility music and 1up fanfare. :3 Also, it's not like Sonic doesn't need car insurance too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleJCrb Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Yeah, the Sonic commercial is awesome, if a bit weird. He doesn't even talk, so you can't use that tired old "SONIC SHOULDNT TALK OPENING HIS MOUTH IS THE WORST THING THATS EVER HAPPENED IN THE HISTORY OF EVER" argument.

Gario Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I was at work and I heard the music start playing. Naturally I dropped what I was doing immediately to see who was playing Sonic 3. I was a little disappointed when I saw it was just a commercial. But not too disappointed, 'cause the commercial was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GravitySuitCollector Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 I guess it's just my opinion that's different, then. Well, time for a couple more (Youtube, the source for everything). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they start out soulless.... Probably just me. French McDonald's commercial (Sonic): Honey Nut Cheerios(Sonic): Wow, I guess there's a lot more than I realized.

BardicKnowledge Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Related kinda: Addie bought me a cribbage set in back in college, and despite not advertising it (or looking like it; it's just a plain brown wooden board) the deck of cards inside has Sonic jokers.

Natalya Zarraga Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I guess it's just my opinion that's different, then. I can see what you mean. When I first saw the commercial, I was like, "what?" I mean, you'd think Sonic would work in a car insurance commercial, but...Sonic doesn't need cars anyway. How dare Flo try to make Sonic stop running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He apparently needs to buy insurance for all the vehicles he is frequently forced to destroy when running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady zelda Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 What Flo doesn't want you to know is that Sonic's car insurance rates are directly proportional to how many times you drove him off a cliff in Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing.
