<p>I think it is TIC- but that there are also those who think it is played straight & it will work for those people, even if it is * big stupid baby head* doing the selling.
I would have used Walton Goggins myself, he’s a much better salesman.</p>
<p>Okay, I love the giant baby. But, I have no idea what the product is so …</p>
<p>The giant baby is another commercial I have to hit mute or change the channel. :)</p>
<p>I’ve seen the giant baby numerous times. I could not tell you the name of the company. Cute but ineffective.</p>
<p>Are you kidding me! The ad is great. I want an electric cadillac. It’s a great ad. I just don’t have an extra $70K in my mattress.</p>
<p>Clearly I have been working too hard today. I just looked at this thread and thought at first you all were calling Neal McDonough a giant baby.</p>
<p>^^^^( In Justified, Jere Burns /Wynn Duffy, calls McDonough’s character Robert Quarles a " big stupid baby head"- NOT to his face)</p>
<p><a href=“Entertainment and Celebrity News, Reviews | GQ”>Entertainment and Celebrity News, Reviews | GQ;
<p>I’m sorry, all I could think of when I watched that ad was the psycho Robert Quarles from Justified. Neal McDonough is maybe too good an actor for his own good.</p>
<p>My reaction to the Caddy ad is that I’d rather have the longer vacation that he sneers at than the ordinary-looking car he’s driving.</p>
<p>The whole passel of Cadillac ads is inexplicable. The one about the greatest things coming out of American garages, comparing the latest Cadillac model whatever to Hewlett-Packard, Apple, EBay, and The Ramones . . . it’s Orwellian. Do they really think people are too dumb to remember that General Motors is sort of the antithesis of all those other companies?</p>
<p>I actually sort of like this one. The guy’s American jingoism is so obnoxious, but I think the wink at the end with " . . . only two weeks off in August, n’est-ce pas?" works. Still, it doesn’t begin to convince me that Cadillac is the brand for Americans who are sophisticated enough to get that joke. Just like the other ads, it tries to have it both ways – American exceptionalism and hipster irony at the same time.</p>
<p>The ad I really loved the first two times I saw it (but then grew to hate when it aired six more times that hour) was the Chevy Tahoe ad with the calculating 14-year-old babysitter.</p>
<p>Hunt, I had the same initial reaction! :)</p>
<p>Love the ad with the babysitter! 
</p>
<p>And isn’t it pretty nutty to equate Cadillac to the Ramones, of all people?</p>
<p>Never liked Cadillacs. They’re boxy and heavy looking. Ugly in my opinion. This commercial does nothing to change my opinion, make me want a Cadillac, or the like. I don’t really know what to think of this commercial. It’s like so “American” that I can’t identify with it. </p>
<p>I did like their “Stacy’s mom” commercial where the mom pops the trunk to have her kid put their backpack in the trunk. Brought me back to my childhood with that music. :’)</p>
<p>The problem with the Cadillac ad is it isnt funny. </p>
<p>Or more importantly, they tried to be funny…</p>
<p>I love the Apple ad. Robin Williams recites a Walt Whitman poem.</p>
<p>My wife doesnt tell me to change the channel when that ad plays.</p>
<p>“you may contribute a verse”. </p>

<p>I get the ad but I’ll pass on the cadillac and take the house.</p>
<p>I disliked the ad when I first saw it, and every time I see it I loathe it even more. I had the same reaction about the vacation-- the schlub who gets the measly two week vacation isn’t the guy who is getting all the benefits from this supposed American superiority. </p>
<p>I knew I was forgetting the most obnoxious Cadillac ad of all: Stacy’s Mom! That is just awful! A bunch of apparently castrated men (since they are engaged in such feminine behavior as taking their kids to school <a href=“horrors!”>!</a> in schlubby clothes are struck dumb by the sight of a tall, well-groomed, pants-wearing woman dropping off her mini-me in a Caddy SUV. It’s not clear whether they are most excited by her or the car, but it’s apparent that none of them is man enough to get either, and none is going to do a damn thing about it.</p>
<p>JHS, :).</p>
<p>I dont know which advertising agency does GM’s ads. The ads are so bad.</p>
<p>I dont know which car it is, but the Cheers song is playing and everybody in the gas station knows everybody’s names until some guy walks in and the place goes silent. Everyone stares at the stranger because he has some kind of car that gets good mileage or is electric or something. I dont know the car. :)</p>
<p>It is a very bad ad with a nice tv show theme.</p>
<p>Ameritrade is running an ad I like where they take an Olympic athlete and run his life backwards by showing old videos of the athlete growing up and running them backwards. The ad is about starting early or something. I like the ad.</p>
