This one fails on so many levels..

Not so much the ad (tho it's pretty horrible), but the content and television show in their entirety. Hurl!

Billy Mays here, to tell you about....

This is a great little clip series of Billy Mays, probably a household spokesperson, who unfortunately hasn't matured yet to the maturity of logical hand gestures, or USING HIS INSIDE VOICE.

Comments: Billy Mays has mechanisms that seem artificial and canned, and dammit, I just don't like being yelled at AND pointed to at the same time. Want to drive me away from whatever product is being advertised? Hawk it by one-note Billy Mays.

(No offense to Billy personally, he's made a growing career out of sales pitching. I just can't stand to hear or see it.)

Clearblue Easy

This ad/commercial has it all. Watch and learn.

Comments: Well designed, contains an "aha" moment, technology-oriented design flows well (no pun intended) with product's tech slant. One to remember.
