Annoying, yes. But the announcer is Lil’ Wayne, so there’s a chance he actually is wise and street all at the same time…

The letter G itself is nice looking. But the commercial _feels_ five minutes long! I want one of those with super fast montages and speed, if I want to feel speedy/sporty. This ad seemed like it would be for a bad cologne/perfume product.

To add to the insult, the campaign also has led to the restyling of the whole Gatorade label to conform to the “G” concept, which led to my being unable to find the flavor information. Evidently, to make room for the giant “G”, the flavor info in now on the side, running vertically, in 12 point font. And orange coloring now denotes two flavors, “orange” and “mango passion”; very different flavors when purchasing for a sick person. Powerade it is.

Was it overpriced coffee? Because if it was, then you could make your own “G” commercial!

Look, I know it’s a terrible cliche at this point, but your last two lines actually *did* make me snort coffee up my nose.

This ad is just WAITING for SNL to make fun of it.
