T-Mobile (ad journal entry 8)

For my ad journal this week I am posting advertisments for T-Moblie. I choose to discuss these advertisments because they are smart and relateable. Some commercials lack substance and are sometimes rediculous and are purely for entertainment. I’m not saying these commercials are so brilliant but they are interesing and funny. It almost seems like the writers of these ads were writing from experience. They two guys in the ads are awesome too; they’re not the best looking guys and are sort of nerdy but are definitly relateable.

The guy talking to his friend’s mom is really priceless! That might really happen. I mean someone out there is talking to their friend’s mom in an inapproate way. In the other commercial the friend’s girlfriend is in the other guy’s “fave five” with a love song as a ringtone. When I first saw this commercial I couldn’t stop laughing, and this ad is actually one of my favorites! This ad goes back to the “6 tugs-of-war” style vs. substance. Not alot of style going on here but the substance is clear.

There’s not much style just two regular guys they seem to be roommates. Nothing flashy or sexy like other ads. I think these commercials are using the comedy factor to sell there products, and its working. No, I do not have T-Mobile service but I know the commercials and what the product is. Although the ads are mostly about a guy with no sense of tact but you get that a phone/phone service is trying to be sold.

These ads are great and I’m sure bring in a ton of money!
