Live Television. This is fun, isn’t it?

By Street Dude | Published: March 30, 2010

We may be breaking our rules here; however, this is one dandy television infomercial. This guy is frivolous: He wears a white buttoned all the way to the tippy-top! His maniacal laugh. 16 seconds in, we hear him fall off his car whilst off-screen. (Whilst, whilst, whilst, whilst). “Insert finger here.” Later on, “Insert two [...]

Enter Hell: 30 Seconds of Hell Seeks Contributors Who Hate Commercials Enough to Blog About Them

By Street Dude | Published: February 7, 2010

Well, it’s Super Bowl XXXXXXXXVVVVIIIII, which means it’s prime time for shitty commercials; it’s also prime time for corporations to spend absurd amounts of money solely to project a humanistic image, a witty image, an empathetic image, or some sort of image that will win Americans over enough to buy/support their product. Let’s see how [...]

Master Storyteller L. Ron Hubbard Creates an Arm the Emerges from a Cloud While Holding Either a Canonball, a Heavy Metal Shotput Ball, or a Magic 8 Ball

By Street Dude | Published: February 2, 2010

Okay, time for our weekly L. Ron Hubbard recap: L. Ron Hubbard is the founder of Scientology — he was either a compulsive liar — or he tapped in to the deepest darkest secrets of the Universe. Hubbard claims he became the protege of a revered Native American shaman at the early age of four. [...]

Dikembe Jumbo Mutombo Meal Deal

By Street Dude | Published: January 28, 2010

I hope you’re not hungry, because this is yet another jumbo meal deal from the McDonald’s Corporation (the other meal deal can be found here). Dikembe Mutombo — the NBA’s most notorious finger-wagging, shot-blocking king — endorsed this jumbo deal 20, 30, possibly 100 years ago. Seemingly since television has existed, McDonald’s has affixed this [...]

Close Shave America: Barbosol and PM Pancakes

By Street Dude | Published: January 22, 2010

reviewed by Street Dude What is America; what is America to you? To Barbosol, America is the the open road, a road that’s a treacherous journey, a road that, on a daily basis, generally sucks. Sometimes you will not shower, you will feel lonely, you will long for your loved ones, and spirits must remain [...]

Cotton Commercial: The Fabric of Zooey Deschanel’s Faultless and Fashionable Lifestyle

By Street Dude | Published: January 17, 2010

reviewed by Street Dude Lately, we at 30 Seconds of Hell (Street Dude, and Urban Pal) have been excessively soft with our reviews — too soft — and this cute and cottony commercial, featuring the adorable Zooey Deschanel, further perpetuates our pussy-ness as television commercial advertisement reviewers. Well, truth is, the big advertising firms slip [...]

It’s Game Time, Baby

By Street Dude | Published: January 10, 2010

This brilliant commercial used to run between every commercial break during the 2007 NBA playoffs. This guy knows how to save the day, and save his friend’s ass, by bringing the hors d’oeuvres to the party, and boy does he bring it big time with the double quarter pounder (with cheese). He uses common sense: [...]

Sofia Coppola’s Miss Dior Chérie Commercial

By Street Dude | Published: January 1, 2010

The good, the bad, and the ugly rule certainly applies to directors of television commercials. Sometimes film directors regress back to directing the television commercial.  An exemplar of the bad and the ugly is McG, a director whose work includes commercials for MLB Baseball, The Gap, Coca-Cola; music videos for Smash Mouth, Korn, Sugar Ray, [...]

Monster Ballads

By Street Dude | Published: December 29, 2009

Here’s a fact: This commercial for the Monster Ballads compilation has been on television for over 10 years — that’s admirable. Other commercials don’t have the balls t0 run the same commercial for 10 years — Monster Ballads must be experiencing success with this spot — if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, and if it [...]
