T-Mobile Final Countdown…rip-off annoying!

7 Mar

First of all, have there been many commercials that are as blatant a rip-off of another companies ads? These ads are exactly the same as the annoying Mac Guy/PC Guy ads…yet they somehow may have managed to make them even more annoying, if that’s possible. I have to give the girl (Carly Foulkes – a Liv Tyler impersonator?) credit…she manages to act just as smug as Justin Long did. The iPhone and AT&T guys are WAY worse than the PC guy though!

There are plenty of other annoying ads in this T-Mobile marketing campaign (PLEASE put your shirt back on!) but this one sticks out in my mind as the worst of the bunch. What is that “concert” she is referring to? Two guys called NASA with turntables and lame lights? The Final Countdown is a slightly-annoying song to begin with, but the AT&T guy manages to make it one of the worst.

Bonus: Here’s the music video for Europe’s Final Countdown, in case you were interested…

    I love how in the commercial T-Mobile bash AT&T and the real kicker is, AT&T are buying T-Mobile out for $39 bill, or close to. The only thing holding the buy-out up is the FCC commissioners agreement.

    You have to laugh… and I hate AT&T, and if this goes ahead, I’ll wind up being their bitch, unless I break contract and jump to Verizon.
