Hey Look, Now Samsung Is Copying Apple By Releasing Crappy Commercials [Poll]

You didn’t think Samsung was going to idly sit by and watch as Apple took home the award for crappiest commercials of 2012, did you? After Apple released its Genius commercials, which were anything but, Samsung went straight to the drawing board, which coincidentally happens to be the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.

With the help of the Green Goblin’s son, Samsung aimed to outdoodoo its competition with a commercial that’s either advertising a brothel, or the side effects of smoking marijuana. Either way, I’d much rather chew my arm off, than have to watch these videos again.

Now for a poll. Who would you say deserves to take home the CLIO for “worst commercial spot of 2012’: Apple’s “anything but Genius” commercial, or Samsung’s “James Franco has the munchies” spot? Vote now!

    You have to be a tool to want to use a tool with your tablet.

    Who did Franco’s makeup, he looks like he’s been up for the last 48 hours partying hard.

      Franco did, of course. Probably used the front camera on his tablet as a mirror too

    I see Apple’s “Genius” commercial as mediocre, not “crappy”. This one is awkward, and yes, crappy.

  • MrBilly

    That was painful to watch and as Dan correctly pointed out, extremely awkward. Far worse than the genius commercials.

  • lucascott

    Awkward, stupid and 5 times too long for that Samshit ad.

    At least Apple kept the torture short

    I just watched 2:44 minutes of…Well, I don’t know. What was that? My vote for the worst commercial clearly goes to Samsung.

    Weird commercial.

    I prefer the bad idea/great execution of the Genius staff, to the Samsung nice idea/bad resolution……. an crappy.

    He forgot to turn off the stove after taking his egg! Add burning house to his list of accomplishments!

  • MCO

    Wow, even in a commercial that tablet just looks incredibly cheap. You’ve got to wonder if Samsung does this deliberately..hard to believe they just didn’t pick up on how terrible that device looks.
