It looks like Boost Mobile is continuing its trend of shit commercials that annoy the hell out of me. This time, they’ve chosen to change it up and offer a duo of commercials starring Georgie, a play on George Washington and the dollar bill. Now, instead of Boost Mobile being the hip choice, Boost Mobile is selling itself as the cheap choice in cellular service. Giggle

The only positive thing I can say about the new ad campaign is that they seem to have dropped the Where You At? slogan. At least for now.

Everything else I can say is negative. I watched a behind-the-scenes video on the Georgie ad campaign and I was not impressed. You can’t have George Washington spew slang to push the great value of a dollar in the new pricing plans and expect to sell me on it. To start, Georgie sounds mentally challenged. He’s trying to rap, but he sounds like a douche trying to make himself seem more important than he actually is. To top it off, these commercials play as often as any other Boost Mobile commercial has ever played, so it repeatedly violates my eardrums. I have to wonder how much money Boost Mobile is pushing into these ad campaigns and what the return rate is. Money Mouth

Here’s an analogy for you: Georgie is to George Washington as Kanye West is to Elvis Presley. Arrogant

If I only had $30 each month to spend on a cell phone and Boost Mobile was the only provider with a plan I could afford, I would only have a cell phone every other month because I would use two months of cell phone savings to pay for a single month of another provider. Cell

I just realized something. Boost Mobile is abbreviated BM. So is bowel movement. That’s pure summary right there. Poop

If you’ve watched TV at all this year, you’ve probably seen the Boost Mobile Anthem 2 commercial at least once. Chances are, if you watch TV regularly, you’ve seen it dozens of times. The commercial stars Young Jeezy, Jermaine Dupri, and Mickey Avalon raping an annoying song that ends with the Boost Mobile slogan Where you at?

I’ve had the unfortunate pleasure of seeing this fucking commercial two dozen times just today! (I’ve discovered FEARnet On Demand, which is sponsored by Boost Mobile.) It’s very easy to be annoyed by this commercial, so imagine trying to not be annoyed when it’s on every 30 minutes. You would be as angry as I am.

The hatred I have for this commercial extends to all of the Boost Mobile commercials. They’re idiotic, ignorant, and all annoying in their own way.

It also doesn’t help that the Boost Mobile slogan Where you at? is so ignorantly incorrect that it alone makes me angry. Is it so hard to speak correctly? There’s no verb and the question ends with a preposition! How about, “Where are you?” I guess that’s not catchy enough.

I don’t know the quality of service you get by using Boost Mobile, and I’m not going to speculate or debate how good the service is, but these commercials are absolutely horrible and they do not speak well for the company or the service provided. If I used the commercials as the sole basis for deciding which cell phone provider to go with, Boost Mobile would be at the bottom of the list.

Oh, yeah. The commercial is on the right if you’re mental enough to want to watch it. You’ve been warned!

Where you at? I be where I’m am at. Don’t hate!

I feel dirty all over now. Confused
