THank you, only place I’ve ever heard this nonsense is the annoying commercial. When and why did this become common enough to use in a commercial with no explanation???
And per your wiki link, it’s some japanese thingy:rolleyes:? I guess lady1’s just lucky lady2 didn’t bukkake her child('s photo).:eek:
There are two local commercials on the radio that drive me insane. Not only are the end taglines horrible, but they keep changing and getting progressively worse.
One is for a weight-loss program, and whenever they say the name of the company / product, they do so in a different almost “morning-zoo-esque” fashion. It’s been said as if it was being read by a robot, a monster truck announcer, a small child (complete with “Woohoo!” after)… I really can’t think of why someone thought it would be a good idea.
The other is for a siding company (not paint) and the jingle constantly stresses that it is not paint. It wouldn’t be so bad if they stuck with a single song or hook, but they change it every month or so. They also see fit to immediately repeat the name of product whenever it is said.
I’d change the station but I really only listen to two stations, and each has one or the other products as its primary sponsor (or so you would think, by the frequency of the airing of the earworms).
Idiotic commercials are why I quit listening to local radio. There’s one car dealer whose campaign is a series of incredibly lame puns.
There is a commercial now (for a phone or something?) that starts off with a sort of “oooeee” scream, after which a woman starts singing something that sounds like “monkeyballs, monkeyballs”, followed at some point later with something that sounds like “y’all.” What the hell is she saying? Is it even English?
Oh shit, I made the mistake of reading that post while I was on the phone, and instantly “heard” “Ooowee, monkeyballs, monkeyballs”. I was talking about overdue invoices through this face 
to the bemusement of the lady on the other end of the line.
GMC’s “The rule of three states that those things that come in threes are inherently more appealing than those that don’t.”
Oh really? Well the rule of bullshit made up rules states that commercials that make up bullshit rules in order to sell their crap vehicles are inherently less likely to sell those vehicles than those that don’t.
That reminds me, “Sixty percent of women are wearing the wrong size pad.” I always holler, “Cite?”
We have a TV in our breakroom at work and I can’t stand it. Too much noise, especially the ads. Lately though it’s been uninhabitable: The sports heads have it on college basketball all the time.
What I have come to notice, being a captive audience and all, is that it sure seems that commercials aired on sports events or sports channels are even more inane and annoying than usual. They seem to try to elicit a lots of “Oooooh…shiny!” reaction.
Danny DeVito does a series of commercials for QuickBooks, and while the commercials don’t bother me, what the hell is up with DeVito’s eyeglasses? They’re GREEN!
Purely speculation of course, but perhaps that was meant as a subtle reference to the green eyeshades that accountants wore in previous decades?
there’s some medical device called apex-m it’s supposed to strengthen a woman’s vag so they don’t get leaks and such …my 16-year-old female relative walked by and listened to it and said “isnt that one of the things a vibrator is for?”…i choked on my water…
if you want to see the worlds worst car commercials look up Camacho auto sales… there’s a reason he’s known in places as “coke head Camacho”
I always figured Vagisil was sold to be an excuse for the inhibited.
Has the little girl who makes me side with the dishwashers been mentioned yet? “My mom washes the dishes before she puts them in the dishwasher. What does the dishwasher do?”
The dishwasher overlords need to put the brat in time out.
Bryan Wilson, the Texas Law Hark. I can’t decide if his ads are horrific or awesome.
My hatred for Liberty Mutual runs deep, and it’s gotten deeper with the *LiMu Emu and Doug *campaign. Sheer idiocy…
I vote awesome.
I haven’t seen those, because of my habit of changing the channel as soon as I see that ‘park with Statue of Liberty in background’ location shot.
I highly recommend this habit.
Actually, as an ad, I think it’s pretty effective. Over the years ( decades ) the running joke in my or other’s homes seems to be one can’t put an unrinsed dish in the dishwasher and expect it to come out clean.
That a young child finds this strange is kinda’ funny.
I don’t know if this has been mentioned, but why doesn’t the KID wash the dishes before she puts them in the dishwasher? And I have never had a dishwasher that would wash crusty dishes clean, and I’ve tried several of the fancy dishwasher soaps.
And the “rinse agents” that supposedly dry the friggin’ dishes? They don’t work either.
