There’s some commercial for a car rental company, I’m not sure which one
because I turn the channel the minute it comes on, that features customers
and employees communicating to each other by opening their mouths wide
and having rock music blare out of their mouths at each other. It is the dumbest
commercial I’ve ever seen and it bothers me so.
ETA: I went a-searchin’ and I found the commercial. Man I hate it so.
What the hell is this stuff supposed to do anyway?
Same here. Burger King ran a two-fer-$2 cheesburger special some years back, with the whole commercial consisting of a picture of a BK cheeseburger, and a guy extolling the virtues of said cheesburger, with what was apparently about a 1/2 dozen of the damn things stuffed in his mouth while he was speaking.
That and their scream-metal chicken fries commercial, with the band all wearing rubber chicken heads, and screaming at me about how great chicken fries are.
It’s supposed to be a headache cure but the active ingredient it contains is such a microscopic amount there’s no way it does a damn thing.
It’s a weight loss product for your wallet. Very effective.
Hydroxycut, the supposed “doctor” and “testimonials” in their commercials are so fake they piss me off
How about the Dr. Scholl’s “Are You Gellin’?” campaign?
Shut the FUCK up, you assholes…
Apply directly to forehead!
Toyota’s Yaris. I’m actually a big fan of Toyota, and the idea of a small car like the Yaris appeals to me, but … the Yaris is a dick. In the commercials, it just acts like a jerk–smashing a cute piggy bank for one freaking penny?
Dick.
Oxyclene
Maxoderm (and Enzyte)
McDonald’s
I actually like those because then I can sing my made-up jingle where the only words are “I’m so gellin’, my feet are swellin’” over and over until I get distracted by something shiny.
TikkiDad loves the gecko commercials. Keep in mind that he’s hard of hearing and can’t understand most of what the gecko is saying but he loves 'em anyway. :rolleyes: Me, I’d like to throw both the gecko and the cavemen into the biggest, deepest, most active volcano on the planet.
One set of commercials that hasn’t been mentioned yet are for some investment firm (Charles Schwab?) where the people extolling the virtues of said company have been rendered into ugly-ass paint-by-numbers pictures that move. I don’t know what it is about those, but I have to look away the moment I lay eyes on them. They’re even ickier looking than the Geico cavemen and that’s saying something!
Can we drown the French ones too? Jules and Bertrand? Please?
I will never use Vonage because of the woo-woo-woo song in their ad.
And if the Oxyclean man doesn’t stop yelling at me I will make him drink Orange-Glo till he explodes.
I keep hoping that one of the cavemen will revert to a hunter-gather lifestyle and eat the damn gecko. Like that far Side “Origin of Dessert” cartoon…
Something to add? Oh, yeah.
Any cell phone company that has an overprivledged snotty teenager disrespecting their parents because they don’t have an unlimited texting account or something. You kids want more than basic service, you can get a damn job and pay for the perks yourselves…
You could always move to Saskatchewan. We have SaskTel. I’m living a life (apparently blissfully) free of Frank and Gordon.
In my experience, it works like Icy Hot in that it makes your skin tingle. It does absolutely nothing for a headache though.
I’ll never ever buy a Mac. I don’t care how great they are. The “I’m a Mac/I’m a PC” commercials drive me up the friggin’ wall.
I like the caveman. He reminds me of my college roomate.
I hate those stupid ads. Rhyming ‘gellin’ with ‘zinfandellin’ :x They drive me bugs.
Me, too. I think he’s a cutie pie. I lurve geckos anyway and he’s got such a cute accent. ‘Who doesn’t like chips and pie?’ 
The cavemen, OTOH, can go back to their caves. And seal them.
However the worst right now for me are the incessant Shaw Cable commercials. I guess because they own the cable, they can afford to run dozens and dozens of their ads all the time. I’m sick to death of them but if I want to hear news on CNN, I’m stuck with them.
That’s rotoscoping, incidentally.
I can’t stand the caveman. That is my least favorite commercial series ever.
Except that Ted from Heroes looks like the Geico caveman, that’s sorta funny
Luxury!
