Nice post!

The one that drives me crazy is the Chevy ad. "Now you get the same discount the employes get.." There is no employe discount!!! So essentially, they are correct. It just gives everybody the warm feeling that they are getting a deal...

THERE IS NO DEAL.....

hehe....

So I marreid my dream girl, I married my dream girl, but she didn't tell me her credit was bad, so now instead of living in a pleasant suburb wee're living in a basement at her mom and dad's
Because we can't get a loan for a respectable home, because she defaulted on some old credit cards, had I ever known this I'd have not married her, and I'd be a happy bachelor with a dog and a yard!

My wife and I usually use the MUTE button on the remote.

For anyone in the Phila-metro area, there is one commercial that really claws me...Cherry Hill NY Triplex. Doesn't this guy know how to talk normal? Just adds another reason to record everything and skip over the commercials.

Yes, we mute the above commercials...had to stop the mrs. from throwing something when the McD's "Love it!" came on.

Those Geico commercials using the cavemen are getting real !@#$%^ old

I have a wall of DVDs. Cable pisses me off. There is nothing but commercials now. I'd say at least 1/3 of what you watch is advertisement. What really pisses me off is when I put a DVD in and it automatically starts with the previews instead of the menu or the movie and they lock out all the remote buttons so you are forced to watch them.

 

[JimBoy]

That commercial where people sing about the meat cold-cut. Something like "Once you start eating it you can't get enough!!"

I want to shoot the tv when that is on.

 

[Horus]

What I'm getting irked about is the commercials that are using the music we grew up with during 60's and 70's. Of course, they are coming to us 'baby boomers' for sales. They think we have money to spend. Ha! Not after you screwed with our 401(k)'s and sucked us almost dry with over-hyped gas prices. Glad I never bought into Enron.

Subway. What the heck. Seriously, it's like they hired a moron to create their current commercials. Cannot. Stand. Them.

Old Navy had some pretty bizarre commercials, in the past. Seems like they've changed into something really neat, recently, though. (Lots more barefooters, as well, in 'em.. xD)

Oh, and can't forget Head On's commercials...until they made that commercial with that one dude hating on their other commercials, but still loving the product. xD That made me squirt milk from my nose...hahaha...

 

[J.Apolo6541]

They say...

A man should always dress, for the job he wants.
So, why am I dressed up like a pirate in this restaurant.
It's all because some hacker stole my identity,
Now, I'm in here every weekend serving chowder and iced tea.
Shoulda gone to free credit report dot com (Yehaw !)
I woulda seem this coming at me like an atom bomb,
They monitor your credit and send you email alerts.
So you don't wind up selling fish to tourist in tee shirts (Twang !).

I watch a lot of TV Land (thanks mostly to the ineptitude of modern television), but dear GOD it means having to sit through hundreds of life insurance commercials each day. I'm freaking sick to death of those damned things!

 

[TyrantRaveAB]

the head on commercial. that all you gotta say.

 

[Violetta]

I tried that stuff once. Made my forehead feel weird. 😵

But...but, I love my greasy Wendy® burgers! I rarely eat fast food period, but once every few months, I have these...cravings...for juicy, greasy, Wendy®-burgers.

the girl's voice in the ads is sorta grating and cutesy, but at least they gave up on those horrifying ads with people sprouting the trademark red "Wendy's® hair". That ad campaign was terrible.

Commercials are in a dark time right now. Gone are the awesome ones of my childhood in the late 80s and early 90s to be replaced by "family", "feelgood", "witty", or whatever.

My beef is drug ads. GOD I HATE PRESCRIPTION DRUG ADS! Why are they advertising it to me?! I don't choose it! My doctor has to give it to me for a condition I have!!

Stop showing me these ads and driving up the cost of medicine and just fuck off, AstraZenica!

This is the best commercial ever...

Brother!

I hear you loud and clear on those prescription drug ads. The only saving grace for me is that I get a morbid giggle from the litany of side effects the damned things can cause. If over half of your commercial is a fast-talking run down of a variety of awful potential problems, it just seems almost a waste of ad-$'s. I caught the tail-end on one the other night that I was sure must be a spoof, the list of ill effects went on for so long!

 

[the_jimmy_james]

Dude, Rick...

There was one commercial out a few months ago that made me want to blow up the TV. It was some stupid ass drug and the thing was animated vaguely. All the lines of things were made of tiny strings of words. There was this really boring woman droning on and on about this shitty ass medicine. All the crap it'll do to relieve cancer pain, make eczema disappear, stave off liver damage from nuclear radiation and turn your shit to rainbow sherbet.

But it'll cause runny nose, dry mouth, nausea, stomach cramps, high blood pressure, diarrhea, brain hemmorhages, gangreen and death.

The thing about this ad that set it apart was that it was the length of a full commercial break. A mini infomercial. This monotonous acoustic guitar thing played in the background. The same three notes over and over and over and over again! It didn't even change chords. I think this was one of those ads designed to "get your attention" that makes its designers look like assholes because it simply makes you mute the TV.

Good work fools.

I agree there are a lot of dumb commercials on TV but I think the politicians have them all beat. I am sick of their BS already and we still have about five more weeks to put up with it.

 

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

It'd be teh awesome if the political ads went something like the drug ads, with long litanies of side effects after the pitch: "May cause erosion of liberty, deprivation of individual freedoms, dizziness, forfeiture of pension, police/prison state, et al...".

 

[Iridis_vi1]

Well, adverts difference greatly from country to country, but the adverts which really get me worked up are those for Debt Consolidation loans. That and the ingenious invention of a company telling you that you can sell your house to them and then rent it back. How amazingly dumb you'd have to be to fall for that one.

We had an interesting "conflict of interest" at my former employer. It is known as the best heart/cardiovascular care hospital in Cincinnati. Yet, besides the cafeteria, guess where else we could eat?

We had a Wendy's in the hospital. On the first floor. Just past the gift shop. No confirmation to the rumor that there was a trap door in the seating area that directly placed you in the cardiac cath lab...
