Not because the animal lovers don’t like them being used in commercials but, rather, because they are overused and the concepts are increasingly lame, we feel all primates should be banned from advertising. Yes, CareerBuilder, you heard us right. The chimpanzee thing is over. Dead. Done.
And that’s made crystal clear in this new Sansung Solstice commercial featuring Ozzy Osbourne and, yes, a band of chimpanzees. Or is it monkeys? We can never tell the difference.
So Ozzy’s getting atour of the Samsung facility and is shown the new phone. He drops a lame line about how cool Samsung is. He drops the F bomb (real surprise there) and he gets a text asking if he’d like to be in a new band…formed by the aforementioned chimps.
Lame. Lame. Lame.
And doesn’t Samsung know the Solstice is a car? Oh wait. Not for much longer.
