Came across this, which is truly horrific, but not in the least bit surprising from Crailtap. What are some other examples of advertising that just doesn't hit and makes you shake your head?

I think Templeton's first ad where his name is omitted is pretty incompetent especially considering it was the first 50-50 on a handrail ever printed.

Flight might have partially come from their downhill program.

George is holding a Kevin Reimer board, maybe the best downhill racer in the world. LOTS of R&D went into that, they definitely didn’t shit it out as a cash grab. So that stiffening/strengthening tech probably fed into the Flight development.

Powell has made cruiser longboards in the past (I remember an old ad of Cab doing a G turn in one),  but not at the moment. No one who wants to cruise in Birkenstock’s  is going to pay the price for a high-end downhill axe.

lol do ppl actually wear Neff? Fuck their advertising, the product itself looks like some shit circus clowns wear when they're not at the circus but rather out and about stocking up on soda water. I see Neff in stores all over the place but the only Neff proddy I've seen out in the wild is on some production assistant chick on a movie set at the studio I work for. I walked past her and saw that her sweatshirt said Neff and was like to myself, "Okay, note to self: this lady's a kook." I wouldn't be caught dead in Neff gear. Maybe if I was somewhere where it was really cold and I didn't have anything else to use to cover up from the elements...but that's just me.

Best enjoi ads.

Not sure if this is enjoi or Tiltmode, but the guy doing a tailslide filmed by a giant VX1000 with a mirror for a lens. Very humorous. "Deathlens", etc. Trying to find the image to post it, I even tried Google, I came across what was obviously a landslide of shit ads. Most referenced in the thread I've linked to fall into that category.

Mullen was their autistic* soul.

EDIT: * artistic. Come to think of it this may have had nothing to do with enjoi or Tiltmode.

In TWS (or the skateboard mag?) there used to be US ARMY ads. I've looked but can't find them online. We had a few skate mags monthly at my very small highschool's library - a few older skaters before my time had signed them up and they kept coming. I would cut out ads I liked, but remember cutting these out and trashing them. Shame on any publication geared toward kids that promotes joining the military before they're old enough to make informed decisions.

any of the old 1/4 page ads in lowcard are pretty fucking cringe worthy.

Was it an Osiris or a Shorty's Kids ad back in the mid-2000's that had three separate photos of young kids hitting big handrails with their age in a bigger font than their names and then one more panel at the bottom that said 'keep skateboarding fun'? Always thought the irony in that one was quite something.

Can't remember who those kids were exactly, but IIRC one or two of them turned out to become pretty big names.

Pointing out something obvious, but clearly overlooked here; you are equating their taking exception to the objectification of humans, and the exploitation of the emotional/physical needs of other humans to a disdain for masculinity. Maybe the marketing didn’t land well with them, because, sexy or no, it’s in questionable taste. Maybe they’re just not the target audience. I don’t know.
But your leap to defend a notion of masculinity that wasn’t in any way under attack speaks volumes.
For the record: I was a fan of the ads, even if I never bought a set of Hubbas. That shit would be embarrassing to be seen on.

Camera Obscura were so good. I got to see them in Nashville and we were right up front and Carey kept looking at me and I thought it was just in my head but then my wife (then GF) said, "why does she keep looking at you? Do you have something on you?"

Anyways, at the end of the show I swiped her set list that she left behind. It has her shoe print on it and it's in a frame now.

Belle & Sebastian really do suck. They came into existence so they could pony up with Wes Anderson.

Fuck Spike Jonze, too, while we're at it. Whole lotta fuckin' goin' on.

B&S were gold up until Catastrophe Waitress. Then I switched to Camera Obscura.

Aye, Wullie. You called it on Belle & Sebastian. Stellar discography until then. Camera Obscura were great, too (R.I.P. Carey).
[close]

Camera Obscura were so good. I got to see them in Nashville and we were right up front and Carey kept looking at me and I thought it was just in my head but then my wife (then GF) said, "why does she keep looking at you? Do you have something on you?"

Anyways, at the end of the show I swiped her set list that she left behind. It has her shoe print on it and it's in a frame now.

Totally agree “Dear Catastrophe...” was the last great album.
Always backed Aberfeldy wish they did more.

RIP to Carey that was devastating.

Nice Little Wednesday. Bring back that Crailtap.

I haven't seen this obviously.  Maybe there's a slight chance it could be "good".  I feel sorry for Worrest and others if its not.   

Imagine thinking this was a good logo?

Imagine not knowing what "Thrashin'" is and claiming to be skateboarder?

I've definitely seen some ads that make me wonder what the marketing team was thinking... There was this one local car dealership ad that was so over the top, it was almost comical. The owner was dressed as a superhero, flying around the cars - it was just too much. I remember watching it and just laughing because it felt so out of place.

Did you bump a three year old thread to talk about a car dealership ad, and not even show the ad?

You're crazy for this one.

Those neff ads of just their face were pretty bad
[close]

lol do ppl actually wear Neff? Fuck their advertising, the product itself looks like some shit circus clowns wear when they're not at the circus but rather out and about stocking up on soda water. I see Neff in stores all over the place but the only Neff proddy I've seen out in the wild is on some production assistant chick on a movie set at the studio I work for. I walked past her and saw that her sweatshirt said Neff and was like to myself, "Okay, note to self: this lady's a kook." I wouldn't be caught dead in Neff gear. Maybe if I was somewhere where it was really cold and I didn't have anything else to use to cover up from the elements...but that's just me.

i think juggalos/raver burnouts wear it. i used to see it at Ross/Marshalls a bunch.

I’ve asked before and maybe you answered, but do you mind indulging me one more time and tell me who the Frank Zappa & Stevie wonder kid is/from?

Thanks @WeirdBeach

Belle and Sebastian almost as bad asscat power. Why the hell yall listen to that shit? Saw cat power play once all she did was cry. I pay 40 dollars to watch a lady cry! Fuck cat power.  I rather give my money to Joel gion and Anton and watch them box of I’m fuckingbwith guitars music.

I saw Belle and Sebastian once but I have no memory of it.

But the song The Boy with the Arab Strap came up on Spotify the other day and I dug it heaps. So I think I like them.

I chose to listen to Dress Up in You and Another Sunny Day yesterday and I enjoyed both songs quite well.

Still can’t get into Arcade Fire though  :o

not here for any belle & sebastian slander, fantastic group. their first two albums + all the EPs from that time period are untouchable and they're still remarkably consistent, they even put out two good albums within the last year, and their live shows are always super fun (and they sound great)

I feel like I have to clairfy my Belle and Sebastian take... I didn't totally hate them, or cringe while listening to them recently, they just didn't hit me the same way it did when I was a teenager. that's to be expected as you get older and your tastes change and develop, for sure, but it did bring up some enjoyable and deep nostalgic memories - those memories that are sweet yet painful, easy to remember, but somewhat hard to relive. "walking through the hallways in high school," is how I would describe it.

that same day I relistened to B&S I also listened to My Maudlin Career by Camera Obscura, and that album hits a little deeper for me.
