Of course, the same thing once happened when a particular organ note during Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring sounded just like the horn honk of an 18-wheeler, so maybe it's just me.
Ditto.

Also, nothing more makes me want to buy your shitty products than a baby crying. Bunch of wastes.

There's some new cellphone ad (possibly Verizon) where this nice dad comes into a room and hands his two daughters cellphones, and proceeds to explain to them that now they'll be able to talk as much as they want. The daughters look horrified, then the mom steps in to explain that they can also talk to their friends as much as they want to. The daughters go 'yay' and then hug the mom, turning their backs on the dad that bought them the phones in the frist place.

The whole thing just basically says "FUCK this nice guy for loving his family and buying them phones and wanting to be close to them. Hell, he doesn't even deserve a fucking hug because caring about your family is just, like, so lame!".


And just the general trend in commercials to make men out to be simpering, mongoloid idiots, and wives to be Gods on Earth.

Ah, how great it is to know that I am not the only one who suffers from the "I'm loving it" ad campaign. I want to throw my eyes at the tv when I see one, or drive my car into oncoming traffic when theyre on the radio.

The other ad campaign I truly truly truly despise is the Six Flags ones, with the "old man" dancing. I wish I could come out of a bush behind him with a 2 x 4 and hit him in the face, then laugh, then take this bus.

Man do I hate that...man...thing..whatever.

And I dont know about you guys but whenever I see an ad I dont like I warp it in my mind to something horrible and I begind to laugh by myself....it really is a nice way to get through horrible ads.

I have to say I can't stand the new Hardees commercial with the girl on the mechanical bull. It's ridiculous. Here's the subtext: "Look at me. I want to fuck you. I want to fuck you as hard as I grind on this saddle like a giant black cock.... oh yeah, eat hamburgers too."

Hamburgers are good eats, but they never have been nor will be sexy. It reminds me of the a lame part of one of those Rallys "You gotta eat" commercials, where amongst the normal jackasses dancing around (once again, over BURGERS) they cut to a woman in a bathtub in the middle of park, bebopping to the music and munching on a burger. WTF? I was so weird. But they just played it off.

Ok, the Citibank commercials with the guys emulating voicemail are the new crappiest commercials on the air.

Well, except the local political ads.

John Barrow is a LIBERAL TRIAL LAWYER, OOOH, you can't vote for him!!

I'll be glad when the political commercials are over. They're all so stupid. Even the candidates I support have to relate to annoying cliches and pandering imagery to get their soundbytes across. I'm just tired of them.

The Extra gum commercials with the animated gum guy. The commercials are so dumb, they seem like they're marketed for little kids, but I always see them on primetime or late night on Comedy Central and the such. And the gum guy is just not funny at all; he's cornball lame. He makes me never want to chew gum again.
post #64 of 134
That new eBay commercial. The one where all these people are doing nice things, like not sitting in the handicap seat on a crowded bus or picking up garbage on the street and putting it in a recycling bin. Yeah fuckin' right. No one is nice or considerate like that anymore.

I, and I'd guess most people, cannot stand trying to naviagate a phone system and those spots nail that frustration right on the head.
I'm going to have to agree with poopoodle. These spots are really creative and actually somewhat bearible on repeat viewings.

I'm already tired of these After the Sunset commercials. " From the director of Rush Hour and Red Dragon. " and they quote it like they're proud and its a good thing! Bleh.

This topic has a few good commercials mentioned here and there, so I'd like to say that I like that new T-Mac commercial with the tiny army trying to stop him.

Pizza Hut hasn't had a good commercial campaign since I've been alive.

And I like the Muppets.

I keep seeing this new Arby's commercial, the one with the talking oven mitt, and he's got a another, smaller talking oven mitt on his "hand". A mini-mitt. So first of all, it's referencing Austin Powers, and that's lame enough as it is, but on top of that the smaller mitt speaks in this high-pitched squeak that never fails to make me cringe. It's on at least once every 15 minutes.

Not really a commerical, but those "Pass it On" ads from the Foundation for A Better Life that play in front of movies are fucking hilarious. My favorite is the one where the kid wants to win the race, but he sees the crippled kid, and he and his buddies help the kid into the ornately constructed racing car that no child has ever been able to build, ever, and the kid wins the race. Fucking great.
post #76 of 134
I saw a billboard-type "Pass It On" ad in the airport yesterday that I thought was weird. It said, "Climbed Everest. Blind." Then "Vision. Pass It On." Now, not to knock the blind guy's accomplishment, but why would you even want to climb Everest if you couldn't see? I would think that the big reason to climb to the top of the world would be the view. Plus, you couldn't even be sure that you'd actually done it. What if your Sherpa was lazy and took you up a smaller mountain? That's what I would do. I mean, if some blind dude comes to me and wants me to help him climb the tallest mountain in the world, I'm thinking, "Sure, blind dude, let's risk our lives so you can accomplish something whose signifigance you are physically unable to fully appreciate. Sounds like a blast. We'll leave right after I finish teaching this deaf kid the oboe."

I third this. I especially like the one where the guy gets put on hold and starts singing the lounge music. Anyone know what song it is? There's a lyric about hearts, I think.

Half the commercials people have mentioned I have never seen. NY doesn't have a lot of fast food/chain restaurants so no Hardees, Papa Johns, Carl Jr., whatever commercials. Those McD's "Chicken Select" commercials are goddamned awful.

I thought you were talking about the Subway commercials. I hate those. "Did you know that eating Subway is good for you?" then in small print on the commercial "Sandwiches only include those with 2 pieces of meat, no cheese, and no toppings that give the sandwich actual taste".

"You know that McDonalds commercial where that guy says stay away from my chicken. Well I don't blame him, they have _____ amount of fat..."

Man that Jared guy sucks... I hope he gets fat again...

Thought I'd throw my own personal favorite.

This is second-hand, as I haven't actually seen this commercial, but my friend works for MetLife insurance in NYC, and apparently they were running an ad a few years back in (insert midwestern state here) about the personalized service that you recieve as a customer.

The commercial showed a young black guy as a Metlife representative, named him (Joe or something...no last name), said he worked in that state as a Metlife employee, and that he was just one of the many diverse, friendly, outgoing and personable employees Metlife had to offer.

So Metlife's midwestern offices began getting inundated by phonecalls from black men and women all over the state, asking for Joe.

There was only one small problem.

"Joe" was an actor. Not a Metlife employee. And to top it off, there wasn't a single black Metlife representative in the entire state.

Priceless.

Yes, Jared is less than pleasing.... but I would, any day of the week, subject myself to a Jared Subway commerical rather than watch a group of stupid asshole sandwich artists fucking around while taking some poor dude's order. "Mmmm!!! I love making Subway Wraps! I think I'll DANCE to convey that I really do love to "wrap" it up!!" or the dipshit fuckhole sandwich artist who keeps eating everyone's goddamn sandwiches while making them.... I'd hurdle that fucking sneeze guard and stab the banana peppers in his eye sockets. fucking dick.

and I do believe that Hardee's or Carl's Jr. (whatever chain you have nearest you) are no longer using these ads... but the ones where some blue collar dickweed would sit there with a highschool yearbook backdrop and talk about how fucking skeptical he was that he could get real Angus beef from said fast food establishment. "Man, when boss said 'Hey Fred, new guy buys lunch' I was worried sick. I thought, 'Man, what should I get?' So I says to myself, I says, 'Hey, Fred, Hardee's has Angus burgers!' And guess what, when I got back, boss said, 'Fred! Good job! You get to get lunch all week!'" "Gee. Let me tell you that I couldn't believe that HArdee's had REAL angus beef! I had to check it out for myself!" Fucking stupid ass commericals.

I get so heated. I apologize for the profanity. It's not my style. But goddammit those fucking angus beef commericals piss the royal fuck out of me!! You know they're fucking actors, and they don't exist, but somewhere there's a real fucking shithead who's thinking "Angus beef? Hardee's? I've GOT to see this!!"

but i do like the office setting Burger King commericals. "But sometimes friends can be more."

Old Navy and all of their polished, shiny faced "Retro" commercials with the little Bobby Brady looking kid can go to the absolute worst part of HELL!


That and I second the cell phone commercials with the shallow little cunts giving their Dad the cold shoulder. The ad's are even worse with the little snots at the mall berating their mom for not giving them a CELL PHONE because they don't HAVE a CELL PHONE.

If I ever had kids and they talked to me like that you'd be reading about me on the news.

1) MCdonalds "I'm loving it" where the guy's rapping about buying a crappy car to go through the drive in thing, FUCKING WALK INTO THE BUILDING. That and the one where they rap about hockey.......ugggh

2) Old Navy where they straight up murder christmas jungles by talking about their sale through the song while not making any effort to ryhme or anything, just whore their stuff with a shitfaced grin.

3) Canadian alert: Shaw high speed internet ads in general.......Guy who mentioned shouting like it was out of style, you really should watch the shit these ads pile on.

4) The ad where the guy chews some gum then freezes then his head falls off and everyone screams.

The new KFC ad with the family and the bucket that's got the divider in it with the three different kinds of chicken and they're all complaining about how they don't want what they got, and the mom turns the bucket...

Whoever's doing KFC ads should be fired. Remember the one a few months ago about the guy who's supposedly eating right by eating fried chicken? So bad they were forced to pull the ad, and it's got to be pretty bad for them to force you to pull an ad like that.

Bob looks up with grease all around his mouth, and a bucket of KFC chicken on his lap

"Losing weight" (Duh! Of course)

Remember that really uncomfortable OfficeMax commercial with the merry dancing black guy fetching supplies for his white coworkers to the tune of the Spinners' "Rubberband Man"? I can't decide if doing another one of those spots in a pseudo-Rankin/Bass marionation style makes it better or worse...

The new shitty saturn commercials that start out with these dramatic confessions (from actors) that have nothing to do with cars --

Little timmy was 2 weeks late. I thought i would be pregnant forever. Now he's running around and playing. that's WHY I BOUGHT A SATURN.

Well now that Christmas is over, we can say goodbye to the following horrible ad campaigns:

Best Buy with Kevin Kringle
Old Navy's butchering of Christmas carols
whatever the hell that ChristmasHanukkahKwanzaa thing was
The one with the guy in the red tag outfit whose father wants his son to sit on his lap.. I must have seen that one 50 times during the football games on Saturday

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Well... they're still playing some of these ads. Apparently some companies don't believe Christmas is over until the new year hits.

That commercial with the black woman writhing in front of a car with that goddamn Aerosmith song playing in the background. Do ad execs really think that this shit will make me drop $25,000 and buy a car? Fucking hell.
post #95 of 134
Any ad featuring an "interviewer" collecting sound bites from "average people" who are very obviously actors, saying "wacky" and "unpredictable" things. Prime offender (Canadian alert!): "How do YOU make your milk moo?!?"

Any ad that introduces a "lame" or "unhip" character who the "cool people" who use the product can mock.

Any ad campaign that tries to pretend that it's taking the nation by storm. Like the subway ads featuring that other guy (not Jared) that then had a historic MEETING BETWEEN THE OTHER GUY AND JARED!!! OMIGOD OMIGOD OMIGOD!!! I CAN'T CONTROL MY BLADDER I'M SO EXCITED!!!

The cock-eyed bitch eating cereal (Grape Nuts? Special K? I dunno, I have a hard time paying attention to commercials even if I try) while her husband does a voice-over. Aside from the annoying voice work (which is the punch line of the commercial - *stylus-across-record* sound effect then the wife telling her husband to shut up), the beginning three-quarters is a close-up of the woman thorughly enjoying her breakfast, alternating between lingering eye closures to convey her ecstasy due to masticating such a tasty treat and smarmy, self-assured, sideways glances to convey what a smart, empowered cookie she is to choose such a healthful and nutritious breakfast product.

And...
"Dashing through the snow

Hmm hmm hum hum hum
Hm hm hmm hm hm hum hum

The Fantasmos. Fuck them and their idiotic jingle.

"Fanta, Fanta...doncha want one?"

AOL commercials as well, especially when they talk about "parental controls". Thank God NetZero makes fun of them.

The Burger King commercials with the guys in the office were actually up there with my favorites, until the latest ones. I will now be boycotting Burger King, since they're responsible for that GOD DAMNED Omarosa bitch not going away.
