^ and his work was boring and cliche. Poor kid.

Yeah, that episode was weird. I though it was cliche too, but the execution was so much better than the other groups. He presented really well.
Then you get that hyperactive dildo in there bouncing around and talking too fast, rambling about all that's wrong with their stuff right off the bat. I thought their work was horrible. Could not believe they won.

I liked the Trash Can idea, it just a shame he could not push the consept fervour and let it run a little more. But you could see that place was on it's last legs, glad he got a another account to keep him going.

^ yes that Bandujo guy was stupid. The type in the video was bad.
Why don't any of these agencies hire real designers or even have an understanding of what good design is?
Fuck strategy if your stuff isn't well designed.
- Fuck strategy and design if you don't have good taste, from conception to execution.mikotondria3

Haha, we just watched the end (I saw it the other night, but my wife is watching it for the first time). I screamed "that looks like typography a college kid would have done 10 years ago!" That work was visually disgusting.

I majored in advertising in college but don't think i would ever choose to work in it. I used to want to. But it's funny, I think I've grown to have this attitude that I couldn't handle working to contribute to the sale of so much vapid, useless shit. I know there's good advertising for good things, but somewhere in my mind I guess I"m thinking that so much of our culture is about buying dumb shit we don't need, and thus the advertising is about convincing people to waste their money. I don't think I could deal with that side of it.
- They'll only spend the money somewhere else. You can do good work all the time and live with yourself. It's a choice.mikotondria3

The only way to get fast approvals from clients is to go on this TV show.

Plus lame graffitti stuff.
Small ad agencies are just guys with business degrees who think they know about design and.
They're oblivious and so are their clients.

Last night was so uncomfortable.
How are these agencies picked?- How do these agencies exist?omahadesigns

Watching new episode. Another question: is it ever imaginable that a client will show up to an agency's office the day after the kickoff to see their progress and talk to them?
I worked in an interactive agency for 5 years but unfamiliar with more traditional ad agencies. I have to figure stuff like this never happens, which makes the show all the more absurd for how unrealistic it is.
- that made me upset actually, I hated that client's attitude about it toomonospaced
- Yeah, the VERY NEXT day they show up. So strange.mg33
- His "well, I warned you" attitude was infuriating. It's not like he's paying them anything, fucking asshole.monospaced

Who "likes" WM on facebook anyway?

The other thing that drives me crazy is when these little agencies say they're the best at what they do. That nobody does it better.
The very first thing I think we were taught when I was studying advertising was to NEVER claim something was the best unless it was quoting an endorsement of some kind, and attributed to the endorser. So to watch these groups make that claim make me laugh. Never mind that there's no way it could ever be proven.
- Almost all the agencies on that show suck and have crappy clients.freedom

Just watched the latest episode...Both agency concepts were mediocre at best...and both of the agencies design styles, presentations and overall execution of the representation of brand were horrific.
- No kidding. Bee whatever was abysmal.mg33
- < agreed, a bit embarassing for the industrydbloc
- a bit embarassing for the humans race.omahadesigns

That Mac Lethal is an embarrassment. Terrible ad.
Corny white people. :/

The arrogant, smug "best in the world" advertising agency lost once again... I smell a trend here.

Wonder if it's coming back for a second season... (no need to answer)

Watched EP4 last night, who in there right mind post anything online about a packet of fucking crisps, The viral website wall was a joke, most of the info on that site looks like it was posted by the bloody add agency.
