Well, thanks a lot, tricoteuse!
…mmm, booty pate…
I think that’s how I’ll be hearing it now.
thanks.
Liberty Insurance keeps finding ways to make their commercials more and more insipid. First it was all those earnest people who don’t understand how insurance works. Then they added the word "Liberty’ sung stupidly 4 times. Trying for the Farmer’s or Nationwide jingle recognition, I’m sure. Now they have gotten rid of the earnest people who don’t understand insurance and replaced them with flat out stupid people like the guy who throws his wallet into the river and the “reporter” who repeats what the narrator said, only reporter style.
People dissing Payton Manning while these dumbass commercials continue to air. The injustice!
Liberty’s bicyclist with huge calves. 
I tried to look it up to link to it but the one site I found (not youtube) said it had “been removed at the request of the advertiser”.
Trying to sell me a vehicle based on getting an award for “best initial quality” does nothing for me.
If the vehicle is “initially” just fine but has all kinds of problems 6 months, a year, 2 years later, then it’s a piece of crap.
I hope that means I never have to see it again on TV!

That’s “Non, Je ne regrette rien”, by the incomparable Edith Piaf.
The commercial just plays three lines.
She’s magnificent.
A modern french artist that is often compared to her (though Piaf is incomparable) is Zaz. I recommend her.

The Jack in the Box ad with the construction workers shaking their giant asses is just fucking wrong. Why they would think someone would watch this and then go eat at their restaurants is beyond my ken.
Yep. Us dog owners are disgusting but with crackerjack immune systems! Wash that dish on the floor before reusing it? Why? I let the little bastards kiss me on the mouth.
That ad just makes me sad that I only have the depressive side. A little manic might be nice.
“Ugly hairy people?” Ron Swanson and Karen from The Jack and Karen Show are attractive and funny people. Just creepy in those ads. And most everywhere else, but on purpose.
All insurance commercials make me wanna barf.
I feel the same way about prescription drug commercials. I mean, really, if you have XYZ disease, don’t you think your specialist knows about this medication? :smack:
There’s a new Geico commercial where a family is having what looks like a Thanksgiving dinner, and they’re all trying to eat while sitting in vibrating chairs. The visuals are funny but I can’t figure out what they have to do with car insurance.
Seasonal favorite (not), “Life Alert”.
I think the jist is, buying car insurance is stressful, and massage chairs are supposed to help you relax. Therefore sitting in a massage chair all the time will make you not stress out about insurance. I think Geico’s advertising people don’t get enough oxygen in their offices or something.
The fact that they say that the recreation of the woman calling for help would make me annoyed, is what annoys me.
Just saw another annoying one that’s currently in rotation.
Looks like it’s for some type of cell phone that doesn’t flash when taking pictures cause flashes are annoying or something?
Anyways, they use the theme from Flash Gordon by Queen which makes absolutely no sense outside of it contains the word “flash”. Otherwise they still play the lyrics “he’s for everyone one of us, stands for everyone of us, he saves with a mighty hand…” which relates to unwanted camera flashes by… ???
Remember that people of a certain age are now leading advertising campaigns and will lobby to have favorite tunes from their youth in commercials. They probably assume no one will listen to the lyrics, other than “Flash! Ahh-ahhh!”.
Also, agree - annoying commercial.
I like to make fun of the phone wonk: Your kitchen is sending smoke signals! They say “get out now!”
That AAA insurance commercial that’s been the same god damn ad for the past 10 years and has a woman say “In this economy we’re glad to save a lot of money.” How many different economies has this woman through already?
I just started seeing this commercial today, and I am utterly horrified.
Stay away from Animal Planet…it seems to be popping up there a lot for some reason.
