I hate any commercial that involves bacteria-killing soaps, especially Lysol. GERMS!! OH NO!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, OR YOU’LL GET ICKY GERMS ON YOU!!!
“Life demands Lysol” my ass.
Hey, he just wants to teach the world to jam.
I don’t usually pay attention to the screen when the commercials are on, but I don’t seem to recall seeing anything remotely, well, international about the “world” he’s chillin’ with for a while there. Coke is ass anyway.
I punish stupid advertising by denying business my patronage. Back home there used to be this ad for a liquor store where the owner, spokesperson, whatever would repeat the name over and over again really fast in a heavy local accent. Irritating as fuck. I won’t even give that wretched place any publicity by naming it here.
McDonalds was damned close to getting the same treatment with their “I’m lovin’ it” bullshit, but I’ve become desensitized to it now and I need a big mac fix once in a while (although now that they’ve done away with the McChicken again… bastards).
Taco Bell is about to get banished, in the meantime. For conceiving the word “melty” and using it to try to sell something, it deserves to suffer in a thousand hells for a thousand eternities. “Melty.” How fucking stupid is that? Has anyone ever even heard that used outside of their dipshit commercials?
I can’t stand the new Sonic ad campaign with the two guys eating the special of the week in a car.
“You can move your head as much as you want, all I’m saying is I didn’t know it was going to be spicy.”
At that point, his friend/coworker/whatever has the perfect cue to call him a moron.
And when you’re done backhanding her, I’ll stomp on her face awhile. For me, it’s the phrase “fat jeans” that’s sooooooo annoying. She’s thin as a rail and those jeans she’s wearin’ ain’t exactly hanging off of her. It looks like she has maybe an inch of extra room in them–and she lost only nine pounds*, which means she couldn’t have been all that big to begin with.
*I’m not belittling any weight loss–only the fact that she labeled herself as “fat,” because I know what fat is, and nine pounds overweight ain’t it!
Smarmy Scott Donohoo and Foreign Motors! Would anyone buy a car from that man? He’s the epitome of skeevy looking car salesman!
Back in Indiana in the late 80’s/early 90’s we used to be inundated with Don’s Guns ads. This really creepy looking guy would always end his ads with “I don’t want to make money folks–I just lurve to sell guns, heh heh heh.” Creeped me out every time!
I used to eat their drippy burgers long ago, but that was before the disgusting commercials started. I wish I could send you some In N Out instead, but they’re mostly just here in CA.
I could really do without that hyperloud guy pushing some sort of weight loss pill that you can buy OTC. I can't even remember the name of it now because he says it so fast. Metabodiet? Foxytrim? It must be loaded with adrenaline and meth.A little bit of the ol’ in out in out or some ultraviolence? Decisions…
The Stopsign.com anti-virus ads.
The one with the blonde (what’s that accent, anyways?) asking me if I have worms.
Well, little Alex, it’s like this: http://www.in-n-out.com/default.asp
They stopped making the logo bumper stickers because people kept removing the B and the last R so it would say In N Out Urge instead of In N Out Burger.
Oh, and I find Pizza Hut’s ads endlessly irritating. “You be rippin’ and dippin’” is bad enough, but look at the damn stuff; it’s 80% crust!
What I hate is the ads that tell you that their product is so goddam good that you really should be greedy and hog it all to yourself- even if it means cheating your own family out of sharing. :mad:
I won’t mention the brand name of any of these products, but one non-brand name is avocados. They have these super rude and greedy fucking ads (mostly on billboards) where whoever it is that is dividing up the avocado keeps most or all for themselves- even going so far as to lie to their “honey”. :rolleyes: I mean- it’s not like it’s $200 an oz Beluga caviar- it’s a cheap little crappy piece of fruit. Go ahead- splurge- spend another quarter and get another entire whole one just for your chubby (which after eating a fat-loaded avocado they will be chubby) little greedy lying face.
I, for one, long ago stopped finding any ad funny when the humor comes from the product being SO DAMNED GOOD and the lengths people go through to get the product.
I sometimes see an anti-tobacco ad that goes “Tabacco smokes you”. Unfortunatly, everytime I see that, I can’t help but think:
“In Soviet Russia, Tobacco Smokes you!”
I wonder if they realized they were borrowing from Yakov Smirnov when they designed the ad. Unfortunatly, it’s so bad that now I think that whenever I see any anti-tobacco ad.
And yeah, those little TRUTH twerps do get on my nerves.
What would you do for a klondike bar?
“Would you act like a monkey?” Okay
“Would you kill a man?” Ummm…sure. <BANG>
Actually I always were annoyed by the Mentos commericals. The message seemed to be that no matter what you did wrong, just showing someone your mentos can get you off the hook for anything. Though that could be an amusing 24 Tie-in…
I love those ads. I think they are hilarious. The best one is with the guy and his wife, where the wife is talking about how her body told her to get a salad. Her husband asks, “Did your body tell you to wear that sweater?” and she gives him the evilest glare. I always have to watch those ads, even if I’m fast forwarding something on TiVo.
Every one of the Orbit chewing gum ads has got to go.
