Check out what’s showing during Showtime At The Apollo and beyond…
> There’s a forgettable Pampers commercial pumping lyrics from Snap’s “The Power” tune. Note to the creative team responsible: Diapers advertising should never use the line, “You go, girl.”
> Okay, so it’s a standard Black advertising tactic to feature a stand-up comic. But Bruce Bruce for Popeye’s is just wrong wrong. Damn, the dude’s one spicy wing away from a massive stroke.
> It’s easy for Daddy’s baby girl to become the next Venus Williams. Just start swinging a racket and swigging Sunny D. This commercial’s more sickly sweet than the sugary swill it’s selling.
> Wonder how long before the McDonald’s spot with everyone flashing hand signals gets pulled over concerns it depicts gang behavior.
> The Nissan Altima SE-R is the official car of Funkytown. There goes the neighborhood. From a conceptual standpoint, this idea’s in serious need of some urban renewal.
> The strategic brief showed Bounty paper towels are strong enough to handle glue spills. Therefore, present a family assembling a dinosaur with popsicle sticks for a science project. The final result? Prehistoric, of course.
> Mickey D’s new Premium Chicken Sandwiches make a brotha babble about paradigm shifts and brainless blah, blah, blah. Yeah, fried chicken does that to Black folks.
> The karaoke couple for Crest Whitening plus Scope inspires wailing and gnashing of teeth. This commercial has an unintended retro feel — that is, it looks like it was shot in the early 70s.
> Somebody please, please, please explain the BK Chicken Fries Rebel Unit. No, wait. Don’t bother.
Sandman Sims, hit the remote.
