  • For all in tents with purposes

    Mar 10 '00
    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...

  • So So

    Apr 29 '00
    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...

  • Let's take a "pole"...

    Apr 27 '00
    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...

  • Epinions, strictly for whites...

    Apr 21 '00
    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....

  • The Idea Was Good

    Apr 19 '00
    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....

  • What is it about?

    Apr 13 '00
    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...

  • Bravo on this one...

    Apr 11 '00
    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,...

  • The Leaky Tent

    Apr 05 '00
    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...

  • Reeks of Campiness...GET IT?! HAHAHAHA!

    Apr 05 '00
    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.

    ...

  • This wasn't bad, but...

    Apr 05 '00
    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...

  • What a great imagination

    Apr 04 '00
    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...

  • Are we NUTS??? Oh the Things we Do for Epinions.com

    Apr 03 '00
    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...

  • Great Idea, Mediocre Execution

    Mar 25 '00
    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...

  • Well done

    Mar 23 '00
    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...

  • Feeling tents? Ur, I mean - tense.

    Mar 20 '00
    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...

  • tent vs. car wash

    Mar 19 '00
    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...
