The whole “THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE!!” spiel is an age-old sales technique. My dad used to tell me, “Any offer that’s not good tomorrow isn’t good today either.” He was a smart man.
I concur on both.
Damn she is annoying as fuck, isn’t she?
The other day I saw 6 short Jake from State Farm commercials back to back. A little of this creepy looking guy goes a long way.
God I hate those. But the original was one of my favorite commercials of all time.
If Allen Iverson is the answer, what’s the question? And why didn’t he wear #42?
I’ve never understood Jenifer Coolidge’s appeal, not even in American Pie, when she was the original MILF.
An new commercial that annoys me for stupid, personal reasons. Kenan Thompson does a commercial for a car buying delivery service where you buy a car and the bring it to you. All his appliances talk to him and are very clingy. I think it’s supposed to be funny but to me it looks like a psychological horror film, especially when the appliances start chanting, “Never leave home! Never leave home!”
And the commercial is for buying a damn car! Why would “Never leave home” be a tagline for that?
There is a commercial featuring Pete Davidson which makes me ask the question: exactly how many celebrities had to die before he could become a star?
Son_of_a_Rich, my personal theory is, he sold his soul to the devil. Nothing else really makes sense.
Yeah, Pete Davidson made me quit Taco Bell.
And hasn’t Reese’s been using “Not Sorry” as their tagline in ads for years now? It makes me feel like Old Navy is unimaginative, unethical, AND annoying!
There’s an Old Navy commercial I made the mistake of watching all the way through. It’s a festive Xmas setting with a crowd of people in Xmas garb, and here comes a large woman at a rolling piano She’s probably famous. What enraged me was, at the end, she does a duck face. I thought that shit was history.
That’s Jennifer Coolidge, Stiffler’s Mom.
What happened to her face? She looks like she’s taken up boxing.
More like botoxing, amirite?
There’s always a slot for the “annoying, no one can explain their appeal but somehow someone thinks they are worth attention” celebrity in any era. Call it the “Pauley Shore” slot.
You mean Jake, or the Jazz Bath guy?
It’s Jake, and they’re back to back. I wish he’d just disappear.
Ones like this one:
It’s for “ordering on-line,” but people are running to get to Dominos in person. And the guy running out of his house half naked to get there? Stupid as hell!
The ones that really but me are the “wut” commercials. You know the ones: they aren’t paying attention and then go “what???” Like Jan in her Toyota commercial when the elves bought the Tundra:
Speaking of “Jan” and her ilk: it’s not enough that these people hawk the product, now they have to have little skits starring them. This is especially true of a couple of furniture franchises with interchangeable blonde spokeswomen with big fake smiles.
