Awful Like a Fox

Creating an ad that is bad, corny, or low-budget looking can be one of the trickiest things to pull off. Red Devil Games of Red Bank, New Jersey pulled off the low budget thing relatively well in this first spot which spoofs an old school anti-drug advertisement. Of course they most likely had a small budget to work with, as it is apparently a local advertisement.
This spot is over the top and completely corny and it works really well. The editing is snappy and the actors are into what they are doing. It comes off really well, and it’s something I think a lot of advertising firms could throw thousands of dollars at to recreate and never come anywhere close to anything this good

Thanks for the kind words on the spot.
“of course they most likely had a small budget to work with, as it is apparently a local advertisement.”
I think in total I spent 30 dollars, so it was a REALLY small budget. Also the order is different- Promise #36 (the crabs spot) was the first one i did, the swift boat spoof was 2nd, and the last one was the PSA. There’s a new one as well being posted shortly.

Awesome! Keep them up, I look forward to the next one.
The small budget is definitely what made them gold.

Thanks- the new one was posted- Avaiable here
I also got a copy of Sorenson 4 so the file sizes are a lot smaller.
