Waking up from a coma (political ad)
-
Seems insensitive to families who might actually have someone still in a coma.

They oversold it. The entire conceit of the ad was to use humor to make their point, and then they got all dark at the end, which yeah, definitely laid a huge fart on the messaging doorstep. They should have ended by leaving the room and having the guy still trying to pull stuff out of the wall.
Please love yourself.

Write 'em a letter. Maybe they'll see the error of their ways and hire you as their go-to creative guru!

Dark humour and politics don't make very good bedfellows.
Unlike politicians and underage girls.

In order to do creative work, you've got to be creative, your team's got to be creative, your managers and account person's got to be comfortable with creative work, and your client's got to be open to creative work.
The rarity of all those tumblers lining up is exactly why most ads are terrible and forgettable. (But a massive amount of personal or company street cred do help make your case.)
I'd rather cut everyone out but myself.

Boring. No one will watch it long enough to get what they are after. I turned it off at 2:24.
I saw 6 minutes and said I’ll get to it later. What are the odds people go back when they defer the first time?

Slim and none. And slim just left town.
