Again with the annoying commercials!

The Domino’s Pizza ad with the NASCAR driver is a fail on several fronts.

The premise is moronic, it took multiple (unwanted) repeat viewings to decipher what the annoying little mumbly girl is saying, and I don’t like either NASCAR or Domino’s crappy pizza anyway.

Other than that, great job.

Completely agree. Hate this ad. And why is the guy getting out of his car??? Doesn’t that defeat the entire premise?

Someone didn’t think this through.

Agree on this. I think sometimes commercials are chopped down in length to fit a certain timeframe, and some context is missing as a result. The full version appears and answers questions the shorter version leaves open.

NASCAR vehicles aren’t even street legal. There’s no way he could have driven to Domino’s on a public street. He would have had to be towed.

And the whole interaction between the kid and the Eric Trump cosplayer has absolutely nothing to do with the product being sold, even tangentially.

Anyone else slightly annoyed by the Subaru Share the Love Event series of commercials? The message, essentially, is “Buy our product and we’ll donate, at most, one percent of the purchase price to charity.”

I’m not even sure what the commercial is for because I change the channel so fast but the one that begins with Dr. Evil saying “How about no?!”

That’s on so often, you’re gonna break your remote.

It’s either ‘does Discover Card charge an annual fee’ (NO!!!) or ‘does this phone-service company charge a fee for something-or-other’ (NO!!!)

Or possibly for something else. But I think it might be the Discover Card one.

(I, too, am a flipper-away-of-commercials.)

The one for a car . . .Rogue? It features Brie Larson stunt driving around and delivering smarmy, condescending lines like " car commercials are supposed to be boring; is this boring?(raises eyebrow). The early version was even worse. She skids in front of a dumpster (or something) that has the APR painted on it and says (provocatively) “oooohhh (something something something)”. Then a few seconds later she comments on something else, once again starting with “ooooohh”. Obviously they filmed a bunch of takes of her talking about different features but the numpty who edited it didn’t see how lame it was to put that “ooohhh” in twice. I don’t know why but this bugged the ever loving hell out of me. And it was shown at every commercial break. I notice they’re showing a different version which is only slightly less maddening.

Speaking of car commercials that are overplayed, this retread for GMC seems to appear annually now…like the average American household can purchase TWO brand-new vehicles at once for Xmas (especially during the pandemic)…

I can’t decide if this Heineken commercial is good for the women being like WTF are you talking about or annoying for making the other guy a bad cook.

See post 1989

Ah yes, I missed that. It was covered well back there. And I was glad to see the follow-on posts about the dumb Lincoln commercials where the woman has to retreat to her car to escape her family having holiday fun.

Huh. I didn’t know that was Brie Larson. She’s one of those actresses I could see in 100 different movies and never realize I had seen her before. Except that in those commercials, I have to admit - I kinda like her. :man_shrugging:

Maybe if she busted a few heads, there wouldn’t be chaos for her to run away from.
:wink:

I know. I shouted at her to get her a$$ back in there and restore order if all that activity bothers her so much. Like her shopping trip to the mall in her Lincoln was SOO demanding. :roll_eyes:

To be clear, I like Brie just fine. That may even contribute to the irritation. She’s an actress I like and respect and is playing a role that borderline sickens me.

Back to the Discover card “No” commercial for a second: can anyone tell me who the young woman is (she’s about 2nd or third in the montage) with curly hair and big eyes and seems to have to stick her tongue out to say “No.” Even just what movie that’s from would help. This is one of those “where I have I seen her before?” situations, not a stalker thing. :smiley:

Try this.
