Pros: Visually interesting, humorous and actually gives viewers a sense of the service
Cons: Audio (at least through this medium) is garbled
Summary: An idea that can hold water? Or one that is all wet? In order to evaluate the effectiveness of this spot, let's consider the Epinions.com mission. As the tag line states, Epinions is "a place where real people write reviews on products and...

Pros: easy
Cons: commercials
Summary: I recently watched a TV commercial on the big blue tent. I thought that in general it was a pretty good ad. It was different but pretty good. But what I would change is just make a commercial about how much fun epinions is. I mean it's the easiest money...

Pros: Unique idea, clearly presented, got the message across about site.
Cons: A bit hard to hear at the end.
Summary: I think this commercial was the most uniquely presented idea I've seen so far. Who would ever think of testing a tent in a car wash??? (Rick I guess!).
Right away your attention is caught. You want to see if the tent will hold up (and Rick...

Pros: Not much...I didn't find it very entertaining regardless of the cons
Cons: reinforcing negative racial stereotypes
Summary: This ad was lame. I found no real humorous or informative value in it. Yeah, there's a guy in a tent going through a carwash, but I was constantly waiting for the punchline. I think epinions is capable of finding much funnier and catchy commercials....

Pros: good demonstration of the product
Cons: could not totally hear him through out his pitch and amateur photography
Summary: The commercial starts out as if Rick is in a bad rain storm, sitting in his tent waiting it out. You can hear the water as it hits hard against the tent, while the tent itself stays in place.
The idea of demonstrating the tent was a good one....

Pros: I like the idea
Cons: Not clear on who or what is being sold
Summary: I have seen this commercial several times. Each time I ask myself what is this guy selling? I thought I was bright, but I had a hard time understanding what exactly was the point? Not until I joined this site did I understand what the commercial was...

Pros: showed pros and cons of product, I liked the testing
Cons: none that were flagrant
Summary: I just reviewed the snowboarding ad which I didn't necessarily see the point of, but this commercial I think put across a better presentation of what I think Epinions is all about. The guy in the commercial said some things about what the product was,...

Pros: A great way to clean a tent
Cons: Practically speaking contact with hands causes leaks.
Summary: Although I thought the commercial was very effective with the wind, rain, and noise, I couldn't help but remember my scout master telling me to never touch the tent when it was wet because it would leak! I watched in horror as the young man reached up...

Pros: Good idea, funny.
Cons: Not obviously an epinions.com commercial.
Summary: Sorry about that...it's been a long day at work.
This is my second favorite of all the ads. Once again, all the characteristics of a good epinion are present: humor, information, and the reviewer's acquaintance with the product.

Pros: superb ending
Cons: too difficult to hear with all the commotion
Summary: Rick had a pretty good idea there, taking the tent through the car wash. However, you really couldn't hear what he had to say. I truly think it was a well designed commercial, especially the ending. The ending was my favorite part of this...

Pros: Gets the point across and basically shows viewers the results!
Cons: Wet commercial!
Summary: We have all been there before, laying in your tent at night,in the middle of nowhere, and it starts to rain! Worried that the tent might spring a leak and your whole family will end up in the river!
This commercial is so unique and...

Pros: Very clear in what he was reviewing and why. People friendly
Cons: Hard to hear in parts
Summary: I first want to say; I have watched all the TV commercial ads. In fact, I watched them several times. I wanted to make sure I knew what each one was saying and what the person reviewing was getting at. After watching all of them, I have to say the one...

Pros: Strong idea, both subjects mesh well
Cons: Too long, too dark, payoff too small
Summary: I love the concept for this commercial, it satisfies my basic need for absurdity in advertising, while still getting the point across about the product itself, and epinions. However, I think it's much too long, dragging after the second outside shot of...

Pros: covered all aspects of the product
Cons: none
Summary: I have been keeping my eye out for the epinion commercials, and I finally got to see this one. I found this commercial pretty much covered what I needed to know if I was looking to buy a tent. He demostrated it, and talked about it, said what it was...

Pros: Wit & humor
Cons: audio quality
Summary: You would be able to relax in comfort and safety if you were inside this tent. Keeps out the elements, be they water, wind, wax or brushes. I loved it! Attention grabbing, yet in a reasonable way. Very clever while truly relaying the value of the...

Pros: Very well done and holds your attention
Cons: none to list, it was great.
Summary: This was a great commercial. It will keep a persons attention just to see if the car wash with get the best of the tent.
It shows that the tent is a durable and a well made product to stand up to the rigors of a car wash. But, he also...
