I really dislike this whole unfunny humor trend in advertising. Everyone seems to think the way to get young, hip audiences to buy their product is to imitate the whole Judd Apatow/Will Ferrell humorless comedy sensibility. But it’s one thing to watch an R-rated movie and chuckle at how stupid Will Ferrell’s character is, and quite another to watch a TV commercial. Nobody’s looking to commercials for their daily dose of comedy (unless it’s unintentional).

This Sonic commercial is a perfect example. It’s chock full of unfunny humor that will make you cringe with its self-conscious randomness. I’m sorry the video is a disaster, but it’s all I could find.

Crazy ladies, late night snackin’!
