Commercials You Hate - Page 5

Why do people insist on being assholes to Santa? Oh, I'm sorry, he's busting his hump this one night to bring your bratty kids gifts THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR! and you're being all 'Fuck you, Santa. I got some good shit, too.' Fuck off, Best Buy.

"That's so 12 seconds ago." I don't care what color you are, gender, sexuality, religion, whether your favorite movie is Twilight or The Godfather, if I see you do that, you're getting punched. Condescending assholes.

And seconded on that Lexus commercials. Now they're foisting a theme song on us? A lot of "luxury" this commercials are irritating me recently because who the hell can afford this shit in these times? Oh right, the assholes who got us here in the first place.

Doc, I feel the same way about the Best Buy Santa commercials!  I mean I chuckled a little at first, but when that woman kicked the Santa decoration from the roof, I was all like "You Bitch!"  Heh.

I will preface this with the fact that I had too much coffee this morning....

is it me or are commercials becoming more and more annoying?

maybe it has something to do with the fact that there seem to be a handful of commercials that get repeated ad nauseum...those fucking 'credit report' ones for example. That goddamn band really should go on tour and if we're lucky, have a tire blow out as they are going over a really high bridge while they are doing 80mph....

There is another commercial that I just happened to catch....that "values.com" with it's huggy/feely song that's so syrupy you get diabetes just watching it.....it doesn't help that it's sponsored by some evangelical xtian douchebag.

AND.....speaking of evangelical douchebags

those god damned Mike Huckabee "Obamacare is going to eat your children" ads.....really Mikey, Obamacare was just "rammed down your throat".....piss off back to your hypocritical Fox news lackeys...sell them your delusions and let the rest of us move forward to the future.

That reminds me.....those damn Mormon commercials.  "I'm just a normal dude, and hey, I'm a Mormon!"  I don't care.

I always found those 90's anti-smoking PSA's to be a bit condensending towards the youth. You know those ones with the kids who are clearly part of the "in-crowd" since they end every sentence with "man" explain how they "like, don't have to like, smoke to fit in, man". Smoking is a horrible, horrible habit. Why not just go with truth, instead of trying to paint this goofy Saved By The Bell-esque alternate reality where none of the popular kids smoke, drink, or do drugs?

I think smoking commercials should be allowed back on television, as long as they abide by the same rules for product truthfulness as everyone else. If they can advertise hard alcohol, the lack of smoking commercials is unfair

No joke, I was grabbing lunch in a restaurant with a friend, and when that commercial came on the TV hanging on the wall, the restaurant patrons actually began to BOO the TV.

Campbells, stop being so cheap and plunk down the cash for something new.

That one, the M&Ms one where they run into Santa, and the Hersheys kisses one where the kisses ring "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" are the ones that I see every goddamn year.  So fucking lazy.

In the same vein of the Dr. Pepper commercial and antagonizing potential demographics:

Has anyone noticed the new for this year intro at Regal Cinemas?  Go Big or Go Home?

Am I the only one that has the opposite reaction to this intro that the article does?  I realize fully the ad is intended to show that theatres are fighting to survive but I feel "attacked" as a movie going patron when I see that.  Not for supposedly cheapening the movie going experience for viewing things at home but because the problem isn't simply the readily available monster HD screens and entirely adequate surround systems one can buy nowadays.

The problem, coupled with the above, is the lack of enforcement of general civil movie going behavior that makes me Go Home instead of Go Big in most cases.  Don't want me to go home?  Then make damn sure I'd rather be in your cinema than in my living room.

I saw this last night and was horrified.  "So, we've made a movie about the Tuskegee Airmen that we know NO ONE is going to see.  How do we sell a WW2 film?  DUBSTEP!"

Don't say that.  If this movie bombs, he'll probably go make three more SW movies taking place after the original trilogy, saying that he always intended for Start Wars to be a 9 part saga.

This, has played in front of every movie I've seen since late summer.  I want the "and" to be a kick in the balls, but it doesn't happen.  Did beverage companies discover that assholes were a completely untapped market?  I thought they were well served?

This one, makes me want to buy 1800 Tequila, make a molotov cocktail, and throw it at Michael Imperioli.

...Bleeding hell, there's a whole series of them.

There's a truly bizarre milk commercial on right now that essentially ends with a Mom hate-shaking her milk carton in a frenzy while her poor son looks on screaming in terror.  

EDIT: nvm

No, you dumbshits, you may not pay me in gum. This is not a barter system, we take currency. Cash, visa, and go fuck yourself if you try paying in a check. But gum? Get outta my store.
