There’s some horrid ad running now - I think it’s for an insurance company? - where a woman suggests to her husband (as he’s looking through the fridge) that they spend the bonus check they earned from said company on a gym membership, poking at a non-existant fat roll on his back as she exits the scene. He looks down in shame as the commercial ends.
Also, someone should let the apparently all-male marketing team at Carefree know that a period cannot be “held in”. That’s about the worst wording I’ve seen in a feminine products ad since “have a happy period”.
Well I wasnt asking anyone to look at the tv! You wouldnt even knew what channel I was on. I think, I, would have, announced the channel, so, everyone, could get immediately to their tv, to watch :p:p
Wow. We cut the cord last year, and we live out in the middle of nowhere, so mostly all we can get with an antenna is public TV. I don’t know most of the commercials mentioned here, and I am thrilled down to my toes that I don’t have to watch all this intelligence-insulting dreck.
Thanks for reminding me that we really don’t want to pay for TV again.
Discover Card commercial, guy is calling while digging through the fridge, hears about knowing your credit score. He finds a package of sushi, dated five days ago, **and he puts it back in the fridge! **
There’s a HORRIBLE new commercial - I think it’s for Geico - where a band is playing, and a guy jumps up and starts banging on a triangle. It would be OK for, say, 5 seconds, but it just goes on…and on…and on…
I’ll take “Puppy monkey baby” over this any day of the year.
That’s a common advertising fantasy. Peggy on ‘Mad Men’ proposed a baked bean commercial with moms serving kids beans through the ages - cave dwellers to futuristic space people.
The commercial for Axe Body Spray (I think) where the guy is feeling his armpit to see if it’s still dry and the voice over woman says “Stop it, that’s weird”
Every time I wish he would roll his eyes and walk off screen when she says that (but he never does).
The family is playing with a Frisbee and their dachshund is too short to jump. So they hurl the Frisbee a bazillion miles away, jump in their minivan and go driving after it, to pull into a stadium, open the hatchback, and the dog goes running across the roof and up off the hatchback to grab the Frisbee in the air. And the crowd cheers. Okay, I’ll accept the desire to let the dog get cheered by a huge crowd, and I’ll accept the million mile throw, and the driving after it and making it to the stadium in time and all that. But, how does the dog jump up onto the front of the minivan?
Or the lead singer of The Cranberries, Dolores O’Riordan. In fact, for a moment I thought it was her in the ad until I realized she’s now in her 40s and no longer has that extremely short haircut.
You don’t see it too often, but there’s a Preparation H commercialshot in the town of Kiester. Who under 75 has ever used the word “kiester”? Yeah, I’ve heard of it. From Ronald Reagan. In the 1980s.
I understand the “dawww” effect of the Trident Gum commercials, but I HAAAAATE that song. The drawling beginning and her annoying voice. I barely know the words because my ears immediately bleed.
mmmmmddddrraaawwwwwifffyourrrr IIIII caaaannnn’t help…faalllliing in looooooooveeee wiiiiittthhhh youuuuuuuu
This isn’t about a particular commercial: we just started paying the slightly additional fee to HULU to not get commercials. The first thing we access–“New Girl”–has a disclaimer: Due to streaming restrictions, there will be a commercial at the start and conclusion of the show. WTF?
