Marketing Madness Opening Round: Bob’s Discount Furniture vs. Old Navy
We’re gonna keep the tournament at 8 teams so the hate doesn’t get spread too thin. Also, Barstool is a site that prides itself on hard-nosed journalism, so adding another 8 teams would only distract from the pressing issues we cover. And with that, we’ve reached our opening round.
Bob’s Discount Furniture
Granted, this commercial is a couple years old, but there’s no excuse for the 1984 Price is Right showcase quality. Power move by Bob at the 0:07 second mark not getting a chick for the “her recliner” shot, and instead crossing the gender barrier to kill the part himself. Also, a very interesting strategy to go with an almost identical background color behind the text when the slogan pops up, but I guess you can get away with this sorta shit when you’re the discount king of the tri-state area.
Vs.
Old Navy
Zero excuse for Old Navy commercials to be this atrocious. They’re a huge company with expendable income, yet they churn garbage like this out every season. I expect more from the retailer who played a big role in popularizing the zip-off pants that turn to shorts- an innovation in air flow technology that revolutionized swamp ass.
Time to vote! And remember, it’s not just these 2 commercials in specific; Bob releases a new abysmal spot every couple of months and Old Navy is consistent shit. 1 for Bob’s being the worst commercial and 10 for Old Navy.

This is BY FAR the lamest thing I have seen on this site. Strasser, are you turning into that fucking mongoloid Darren Rovell? Stick to sports, you frog pussy.
Go fuck yourself, strasser.
The Bob’s commercial is funny, there is nothing about the old navy one that is remotely interesting
Chew your own dick of strasser. I want my 2 seconds back.
what number should i vote for go kill yourself strasser?
I heard that Bob isn’t the real Bob who owns Bob’s he’s just an actor. Either way he might be the most annoying fuck on the planet. I want my fists to come on down, over and over, into his face.
oh and fuck you strasser.
Strasser take a sharpened pizza slicer across your neck you fucking Gilligan.
You have got to be kidding me with this shit. You fired Manzo for this fucking guy?
i speak on behalf of every stoolie. “no.one.gives.a.fuck.about.this”
i like
would rather read a Scott blog than one word of anything fucking Strasser has to say. Zollo’s music updates are more interesting. tallone is hilarious compared to strasser. jenna’s videos are better than his shit. philly site is comedic gold in comparison. f-minus every single time. kfc should be ashamed.
its an outrage that the “five dollar footlong” commercials arent in this contest
Strasser blogs make cancer seem funny.
“Chew your own dick off” is heretofore my go-to exclamation – thanks genericjohnny!
I got a bob’s leather furniture set, most expensive one they sell…probably the only one that is actually all leather, pretty nice too
Uh, Bob makes shit commercials cause he doesn’t have any money. Old Navy makes shitty commercials because they suck and they think they’re funny. Remind you of anyone? No wonder you beat up on Bob.
HidekisHaros? Is that you Bob?
Both are better than Curbie
Don’t be hating on Jordan Knight. Work is work.
I think Strasser is just Feitelberg’s NYC penname.
Strasser….the new Mo!!!!
Bob has like nine million stores throughout the tristate. And if you like sleeping and haven’t slept on a bob o pedic you’re a fucking idiot. His mattresses can’t guarantee you’ll sleep better but he can guarantee you’ll sleep just as well for half the price. I miss my mattresses the most put of anything I miss since I moved. Your fucking stoopid if you don’t sleep on bob.
