OK, Finagle and Orwell, that’s enough of that. We don’t need politics everywhere on the boards. No more.
This commercial for HoneyBaked Ham.
Two guys in a life raft throw a canned ham overboard because “it’s no HoneyBaked.” If you’re in the middle of the ocean on a raft, you’re not going to be picky. Eat the goddamned ham, already!
awfully salty! hope they have a case of water on the raft.
Facebook Groups Military Moms Christmas Commercial. Please, PLEASE correct me if I’m mistaken–But a deployed mom complains she’s not home to help her family prepare for the holidays, and from that small complaint, a cadre of surreptitious Facebook Group Members *BREAK IN TO HER HOUSE *to secretly deploy a foundry of stolen Christmas decor they collect during a montage–not to put on, but INSIDE her HOUSE, and her family comes home aghast asking how it was possible, and she smirks “Oh I think I know how” while AN INTERLOPER CREEPS ON THEIR ROOF throwing out a box of fake snow.
Facebook: Bet You Can’t Count All The Crimes
The other question is “don’t those moms have their own families?” The idea that they’d do some things to help out someone who is deployed is cool, but mom-on-the-roof, are your kids waking up to an empty house because you’re standing on someone’s roof?
Probably been mentioned before, but it seems like all the auto insurance ads are either irrelevant, awful, or both.
The worst is the ad with Dennis Haysbert offering you the wonderful opportunity to have Allstate install a monitor in your car that will report when you drive too fast, brake too hard, etc. Who on earth would do that?
But at least that one has something to do with driving a car. Most of them don’t, they just try to be amusing and/or impress you with celebrities. The Progressive commercials with Flo and Jamie actually are amusing most of the time, but rarely give you a reason to buy their product. The ones with Peyton Manning are amusing about a fourth of the time, but give you zero reason to buy. The ones with Aaron Rodgers are not the least bit funny, and only serve to make you wonder why he spends every waking moment with an insurance agent from some other company (i.e., a competitor of the company he is endorsing).
The less said about Limu Emu and Liberty Biberty, the better.
any commercial that takes the spoiled rich brats “i want it all” song from charlie and the chocolate factory and uses it as a life affirmation should be flogged violently
Ham is a salty meat.
I’m getting really peeved at the Pier One commercials where someone is trying to tell another person something important (hey, we’re pregnant) and all anyone around them does is exclaim over all the Pier One products around.
Let me tell you, all those people would be out the door and out of my life. And yes, I know, commercial, no one would really do that, but it’s not funny at all.
All of the Liberty Mutual commercials are annoying, but this one really grinds my gears lately.
Doug is holding a press conference and repeats his tagline (Only pay for what you need with Liberty Mutual) into each microphone individually.
Two more commercials I can do without ever seeing again.
Folger’s commercial with the old naked guy in the shower.
Pandora Music commercial with the chubby guy taking his shirt off and dancing in the lawn sprinklers.
Martin Sheen goes on an angry old man rant against high drug costs.
Bonus annoyance points for Charlie Sheen. Also, “West Wing moment.”
- They abandoned their kid at the airport!
I’d put this one in the “commercials I like” thread. It made me smile.
Not going to buy the product, though.
The Farmers’ ads are generally tolerable, or would be if they weren’t repeated over and over again.
I’ve gotten really efficient at muting the Liberty ads as soon as they pop up on the screen. Apart from the annoying tagline jingle, why are a fortune-telling con and a nasty aggressive flightless bird supposed to make us want their insurance?
We have a dachshund who I sometimes call “pure pork sausage” in a Jimmy Dean voice…especially when he gets a bit plump.
I went to the website - Singlecare.com
It listed who in my area has the cheapest prescription, and a link to download a coupon. I didn’t click on it, but I liked that it showed you the cheapest location. I have one drug that costs hundreds of dollars, and the difference was significant between Walgreen’s, CVS, and Kroger. Like $150 different.
I’ll be exploring this a bit more.
Yes, the commercial is obnoxious. In my case, it worked!
There’s one I’ve seen recently that starts with the someone saying “shopping for my pets is stressful, especially during the holidays…” Really? If you want to get your cat a toy mouse for Christmas, and you give it to him a couple days late, I promise he won’t know the difference.
I imagine some executive at Liberty Mutual has been watching the Geico gecko ads for years and silently fuming. Finally, he lost it and screamed “our commercials need a spokes-animal that will remind everyone of Liberty Mutual!” The creative team worked nights and weekends for months, and the best they could come up with was LiMu emu. The exec is now bragging to everyone that it was his idea, and no one has the heart to tell him it sucks.
Quickbooks is jumping on the bandwagon for the new Ghostbusters movie early.
Some of those are actually good.
