I can think of a few things that are Brown and Bubbly

Diet Pepsi’s “Brown and Bubbly” campaign debuted on Super Bowl Sunday this year, and while it didn’t stand out as hilariously bad, the campaign has so many awful qualities I feel I would be neglectful to let it just slide by. This is one of the two spots Diet Pepsi crapped out and onto our TV screen this year. The other spot features a cameo by Jackie Chan in which they fail to portray him actually fighting on screen.
There is no redeeming quality in this spot, from the under-utilized cameos to the doomed-upon-conception catch phrase “Brown and Bubbly”. There was an opportunity to save this spot and make it slightly novel, maybe in the style of the “Buddy” Levi’s commercials where they could have humanized the inanimate Diet Pepsi can a little more. Instead it’s a parade of generic thoughtlessness and godless can-worship.
I am quite depressed by this spot. I don’t think I can go on typing.

The first time I saw this commercial, I thought it was hilarious. I absolutely LOVE IT!!! I dont understand why people think the commercial is stupid. I think it was the BEST one shown superbowl night!

It is very thoughtless. I dont like how they drag out the music video because they expect me to be laughing my head off at a pepsi can with (wow no way rly?) headphones on it. The cameos were obviously only to get your attention, after that its just an average commercial.
