Again with the annoying commercials!

Noooooooo! I mean yes that’s it.
But…Nooooooooo!

Okay,

Just to reiterate that two of the absolute WORST commercials of this century (regardless of when you think it started) are:

  1. The USAA Insurance commercial with Rob Gronkowski and Sam Elliot that involves Gronk being gone “a coupla days” and leaving the “important contact info” on the fridge.

We all love Gronk and Sam, but this travesty has the production value and acting ability of a special education class Christmas pageant (no offense); and

  1. The Amazon ad with the long lost Edgar brother working as a stage sweeper (?) prompting a hat check girl to order him a sports coat which allows him to aurally butcher “What The World Needs Now” in an otherwise empty Fox Theater in Atlanta while the hat check girl weeps.

God save us from these ad wizards.

No, sorry any list which doesnt include kars for kids as “worst” is invalid. :crazy_face:

And i have seen neither of those.

Lately I’ve been gettin an ad on websites for some sort of “Toyota e-drama”. I don’t know anything else about what it’s supposed to be for, because aside from those two words, everything else in the ad is in an Asian language. It’s not even consistent in which Asian language it is-- I’m pretty sure I’ve seen Korean and Vietnamese in addition to Chinese characters. Sometimes the ads feature people who, from the presentation, look like they’re supposed to be big celebrities, but I have no idea who they are.

Sorry, PuppyMonkeyBaby is worse.

Definitely don’t love Gronk, and am beginning to wonder about Sam for whoring himeself out for these commercials.

I thought the Kars for Kids commercials were gone. But it’s a jinx, this thread has brought them back. I’ve seen them three times today on the so called History Channel, which has Ancient Aliens on all day.

Something going on there?

Yes. Those so-called children are actually demons and the commercial comes from hell.

Trivago has a new ad. I think it’s the same guy that many people found skeevy, except now he has giant, super white dentures / implants that barely fit in his mouth. If teeth can be a parody by themselves, these are them.

True.

We have sinned and this is Hell? :crazy_face:

I called it!

POPPI “soda”

I obviously don’t know what this stuff is, but, even allowing for that, this commercial is stupid and annoying.

First, they mumble, and AFAIK, there is no closed captioning, so I don’t even understand why you can’t drink “soda” during the week. Is this some new mommy thing? Second, if sugared “soda” is bad somehow, this stuff has 5 grams, as opposed to zero in diets. Third, just buy the kid her damn sofa! And fourth, I can’t understand the clerk’s mumbling at all. Is there supposed to be a joke about the strange lady smuggling in her POPPI? (who doesn’t seem to be a friend of the woman, because why wouldn’t she have said something first? Is she going to share?

So much stupidity, and in a mere thirty seconds. I still don’t know why I would want to buy your product.

I think the message is that that woman shouldn’t be entrusted with children. The vacuous look in the freeze frame tells all.

I was gonna post about Trivago and their penchant for sketchy looking sort-of European guys.

Also now I have this “song” in my head.

1877 Kars for Kids
K A R S cars for kids
Whatever it is I think I see
Becomes a tootsie car for kids!

Yes, horribly bad.

Yes. It’s “soda is a treat, not all the time” thing, so limiting it to weekends is in that vein.

He says, “I can see that,” because she’s smuggling in outside food. Then he mutters “I’m not paid enough,” because he doesn’t care enough to make a scene.

I can’t make out what the lady says.

Thanks. That helps.

|But it is still “soda”. They’re stupid hypocrites.

That’s much less unsettling than I was expecting. (I thought it would be something like Opal.)

That whole ad is horrible. First, Mom is holding up the line and it seems like her single brain cell is misfiring- next her kid is being a brat and third did that other Mom bring enough for everybody? Not to mention, every theater i have been at will sell you a bottle of water or give you a small courtesy cup for water free.

I can accept this strange concept of “no soda during the week”, but, everyone knows what is offered for sale at theaters; soda! If you don’t want it, you should know you aren’t getting a lot of choices. (Harkins theaters here in Phoenix have alcohol bars, but I think giving your 8 year old brat a large vodka gimlet or merlot is most likely worse than a soda.)

There is also water.

But just staring at the choices like that…

Yeah, but even though she has this rule about soda only on weekends, she wants to break her own rule and give the girl a soda, and she feels guilty about that.
