Xfinity has some idiot woman saying, “Shouldn’t our Internet come from the same company as our phones?” Er, no. Does your refrigerator come from Del Monte and Coca-Cola? Do you go to movies in theaters owned by Twentieth Century Fox? Is your radio station owned by Capitol Records?
Here in the Philippines, a commercial for Pigrolac, a pig feed for people who raise hogs at home (like my mother in law does).
The trend of whistling, toy pianos, ukuleles, and rhythmic clapping in commercials is like sagging pants – it seems like it’s never, ever going to go away.
10 years ago, a lot of commercials used “wry” voiceovers, from women with an ever-so-slight slightly snarky, sarcastic inflection. Now, at least in the US, it seems like overly excited uptalk is the trend. Red Robin commercials and HGTV promos are the worst.
EDIT: I am the Addiction Network.
I would like to never hear another peep out of that singer. Isn’t it the same girl who did that horrible Phoenix University “but only if you have a brain” song. [del]Die! Die![/del] Just shut up.
I usually enjoy commercials with people dancing. Even if they are dancing kind of goofy, or even sort of bad dancing. However this one for Wayfair has the kind of dancing to rival Elaine Benes (she had the finger points and the little kicks). In fact the commercial makes the Elaine Benes dance look good by comparison.
There are other Wayfair commercials that I don’t love, but the above linked one gives me the creeps.
Newest commercial from Twix has packages of “left Twix” and “right Twix”. Not a left Twix and a right Twix in each package, but two left Twixes in one package and two right Twixes in another. :smack:
Probably. But I’m in the minority and actually liked the “If I only had a brain” song.
No.
Okay, then I would like to hear no more peeps out of either one of them.
That hipster doofus with the flip up glasses being wrong about everything shilling for Verizon can fuck off.
If you buy the fun size/snack size bags they have individual bars marked ‘left’ and ‘right’.
Who is that guy anyway? I figured he was just some annoying anonymous ad dude like “Can you hear me now” Paul. But I swear I saw him on Jimmy Kimmel’s show a while back (though I was about half awake and may have just dreamed it). So I figured he must be famous for something else. But yeah I really hate that guy.
Thomas Middleditch? He’s an actor, probably best known for his lead role in the HBO sitcom Silicon Valley.
Yeah, that’s him. It’s more apparent in the other Verizon commercials where he doesn’t have the beard.
Not a commercial but a new series of radio PSAs aimed at keeping teens away from booze. They’re from a group called I CAN or something and so laughingly bad, especially the one with the kid attempting (and spectacularly failing at) a Super Mario imitation, they just might have the opposite effect.
The new Bud Light “dilly dilly” commercial…implies that anyone liking/drinking/offering craft brew instead of watery swill is worthy of the pit of despair. Toss in a new annoying catchphrase to boot.
Dilly dilly.
Apparently if you use Liquid Plumr, it gives you the butt crack that is commonly associated with that occupation.
The craft-beer bashing is also a bit hypocritical on the part of AB InBev since they’ve been buying craft breweries like Goose Island left and right. However, the way they botched this year’s batch of Goose Island Bourbon County Barleywine Reservemight make some of the more conspiracy-minded craft beer drinkers that AB InBev is deliberately doing things to give craft beer a bad name so it will drive people back to only drinking their flavorless macrobrews like Bud Light.
I’d rather see that than the commercial that aired off and on for several years where a guy starts to flush the contents of his house after seeing a good-looking female plumber walk into the neighbors’ house.
