Rhett and Link: Bad Commercials – So Bad They’re Good?
Hold onto your hat. Here’s a clip from comedic documentary about Rhett McLaughlin & Link Neal who traveled the country making bad commercials for small businesses around the country. Funny, but kind of scary too.
There seems to be a growing niche market of irony in media. Certainly it has a place, but I also think it can often go too far. It’s much more interesting to see a commercial or film where the creators really believed in what they were doing and tried to make it as good as they could. To make something bad commercials intentionally just for laughs seems a bit sad to me; perhaps that’s what Geico has been doing all these years?
