Again with the annoying commercials!

LOL. Me, too.

I love that song- I mean not to hear every half hour or something-, but I like it.

And s store whose shelves are entirely one companies dishwashing product?

Speaking of “Where’s the Beef” Panera has apparently came out with a bread sandwich, or at least with those two giant slices of toast, it is mostly bread-

To be fair, it looks to me like you’d only have to eat about half the bread. The other half would disintegrate into crumbs before you could get it in your mouth.

I can’t argue against that. :grinning:

I have ordered it and it was…..a disgusting mess with more bread than anything else.

Big nope!

What’s with the Bulb Head ads for cheap junk they are foisting on us? Everything works great and is so high quality they guarantee for life!

Then, immediately after the pitch, try to panic you into buying it because it is going to be discontinued any second and never available again!!

Then How The Fuck are you going to replace it with that life-time guarantee???

Reminds me of a huckster that was selling cars out of a tent on a dirt lot claiming “Free Maintenance for Life!”

Waddya mean? I bet they don’t “throw another shrimp on the bah-bie” at Outback, either. How’r we supposed to be edumacated about vegemite and the land down undah?

Yeah, I had a texas Toast sandwich. Now, I like texas toast- on the side. But two slices? I could barely get my mouth around it and all i could taste was the toast.

Hey, if ya like Fosters, then cheers, mate. I cracked a few ‘oil cans’ back in the day.

Just don’t drink so much that you chundah :grin:

The commercials didn’t ruin it, radio, and the original artist, did that all on their own.

Nope. The commercial definitely ruined it.

There is a whole class of annoying commercials hawking the use of AIs. Microsoft Copilot has a spot where a kid gets beaten by his father at chess, points his phone at the board, and asks how to do better. The next scene is his beating his father. I can’t figure out how that works unless he fell for a Fool’s Mate. You don’t tend to get identical positions. (Can’t find a link.)
Then there is the one for the Adobe AI where the woman who runs a candy shop asks the AI to generate a newsletter about a new product and then sends it off apparently without reading it. Hope the newsletter talks about roaches (the insect kind) in the candy. Exactly how those lawyers got into trouble.

As for music, there is a diaper commercial that uses “Born to be Wild” about the baby crawling around in a diaper he or she can’t get off. If we had only know what the edgy music of 60 years ago would become. NatLamp radio had a parody of Dylan hawking “Golden Protest.” Our imagination did not match the reality of him doing Victoria Secret ads.

Dancing in the Moonlight is a great song. But the ad didnt ruin it.

You just reminded me of a commercial playing constantly on some streaming channel a little while ago that would annoy the crap out of me. A Salesforce commercial (a CRM which I have some history with, as I do some development for it as part of my work duties, and it’s frustrating to say the least) has Matthew McConaghey in full pseudo-cowboy gear in a pixelated Western town saying “if AI is the Wild West, is data the new gold?” WTF, McConaughey?!? It’s just so stupid. Stick to shilling Lincolns if you must do ads.

Well, yeah … if the dishwasher is broken.

:wink:



Yes, we’ve been there.
