I disagree
I think that was hilarious. Last year's sucked, this was actually pretty witty.

Hot!!!
That is one cool...slick commercial. If the others are anything like it, Pepsi will sell oceans of cola during this promotion. It provides a very "in" cultural wink to a brand that is not associated with our hip post-modern society.
To those that don't get it, I suspect ou don't listen to a wide variety of music. What a shame...your children do!!!
Pepsi Rocks on this one!!!

It doesn't suck.
If it looks silly and you don't find the humour in it then you're probably not the target market. Last year's Pepsi ad won a few advertising awards. I won't be surprised if this spot wins some awards again.

It does suck
I [i]see[/i] the humor in Pepsi's joke. There's one joke, but they repeat it a dozen times. Funny at first, totally lame by the time the ad's over.
Compared to an Apple ad like rip-mix-burn, this ad is simply pathetic.

"I [i]see[/i] the humor in Pepsi's joke. There's one joke, but they repeat it a dozen times. Funny at first, totally lame by the time the ad's over."
You could have said the same thing of Saturday Night Live, which is still running strong. You have to keep in mind that America at large doesn't mind seeing a joke retold numerous times in different forms. The populous of this country doesn't have the sophistication to demand significant variations on a joke with each telling, so this will play fine.
The bigger question is whether it's a good joke in the first place. I'm not a huge fan, but I don't think it's awful either. Somewhere in the middle of being watchable, kind of interesting, but not overwhelmingly memorable or hilarious.

Some of you are lost!!
Listen...it's not a joke that repeats over and over. It's a commentary on what America listens to regardless of genre or background. It allows many people to understand the significance of iTunes: Choice!
Get a grip, folks!!!
