Mio Water's Cat-astrophic Ad

This week’s edition is a 15 second ad from Mio water:



The fine print was quick at the end:





While you can barely even tell that there are cats being shot out of cannons, the fine print is necessary because it is still Tracy Morgan.  At least the fake cats have helmets on.  Safety first of course.

5 Hour Energy's Ad Changing More Than Just Focus

This week is from 5 Hour Energy:


Despite all the medical warning fine print, another one caught my attention:





Darn, I really wanted a magical shirt color changing drink. I love the orange shirt/blue tie combo and bright yellow shirt. Imagine my sweet new wardrobe. I wonder if Violet Beauregarde from Willy Wonka drinks Red Bull now or has she learned her lesson about reading the fine print.

Epiduo Needs a Home Remedy for This Ad

Here is this week’s edition from Epiduo:



The fine print appeared throughout the ad:





Vacuum, magnets, lent remover, kelp, toothpaste, hair dryer, aluminum foil, and glow sticks are bad ideas? At least the actors appeared to be fine with it, so it cannot be that bad. They forgot lemon juice, honey, cucumber, orange peel, tomato, potato, and clay.  How about soap?

BMW Sticking Sense Outside the Window

This week's edition is another car ad, this time from BMW:

The fine print is small at the end:





While this fine print is necessary and somewhat serious, it begs to question why did BMW even film it that way. The child could have easily been listening to headphones or sleeping instead of sticking his hands out the window. I am sure there are instances of passengers injuring their hands that warranted a disclaimer, but why film it and annoy the lawyers in the first place? I'm more concerned about the kid's haircut, over-sized white collar, and that there does not appear to be a driver. Scary!
