Commercials used to be creative ads selling real products from real companies.

Now it's AI generated robots trying to sell me tai chi walking or articulation training. Sigh.

Edited to add: These creative ads from real companies became cultural catch phrases. "Yo quiero Taco Bell!" "Back off, get your own sandwich!" "Weaddababyitsaboy." Never gonna happen with today's AI slop ads.

It doesn’t have to be good or creative to beat the modern stuff.

Completely fumble a simple task, look at the camera and say defeatedly, “There’s gotta be a better way!”

Have the announcer exclaim “There is!” Introduce pointless product here.
