I have never, ever understood the Cialis commercials.
Not the product itself, which I understand in theory. Kind of. You have 36 hours to get a boner whenever you want. Or something. Not really sure how it works, but I’m content to remain ignorant there.
No, what I don’t understand is why these people could, would or should drag two insanely heavy antique leaded clawfoot bathtubs across the sand to the ocean - but still about fifty feet from the water’s edge - onto what would have to be a fortified pier that appears to have been designed solely for that purpose, and sit in each of them while holding hands.
Oh, and I’m no marriage counselor, but have you two tried getting in the same tub?
So this swarmy dickhead who deserves to be beaten to a bloody pulp asks people what they would do to keep their Comcast service–one woman says she would marry her ex-husband. Next scene–swarmy ass-face makes her re-marry said ex as she stands there crying!
So let me get this straight–Comcast will come to your door and take away your service if you don’t do some terrible thing? Yea, that makes me want to get their craptastic service!
Comcast has too many other bad commercials to mention.
The current iPod nano commercial is driving me nuts. “I tried to do hen-stenz for you, I tried to do hen-stenz for you.” Yeah, I know it’s “handstands,” but they sing it in that weird phonetic ABBA way. I was surprised to find out the band is from Colorado.
Any ad where they claim that their air freshener isn’t like all the others that merely cover up odour, this one actually seeks out and annihilates the airborne chemicals that cause odour.
They all say this
Matter cannot be created or destroyed
They don’t necessarily work that way at all (some of them contain chemicals that numb your sense of smell)
Also, ads for automatic aerosol air fresheners that puff fragrance into the air every 12, 18 or 36 minutes. If your house needs that level of freshening, just remove some of the corpses from under the floor.
There’s a commercial for Jimmy John’s that’s one of the most tasteless I’ve ever seen. Jimmy John’s is a third-rate submarine sandwich shop. The gist of the commercial is that a robber is holding people hostage, threatening to shoot them, etc. Then, somebody shows up with some sandwiches, and suddenly everything is cool.
I agree with **Auntie Pam **and perhaps others (I haven’t read them all) about the Vonage ad. I would ad (!) that it is also hypocritical in that she (the Vonage gal) bumps the phone guy and disses his policy of raising the rates, when their own big onscreen rate display indicates that they also raise their rate after three months.
I have to agree, all the Comcast commercials suck. The turtles annoy me, the super fast runner annoys me (I’d be less annoyed if my comcast connection was indeed, super fast) and the “office team” especially annoys me: The Enforcer, The Miracle Worker, etc.
Of course, I am a little biased because I hate few companies more than I hate Comcast.

I just saw a hideous one for Axe. The guy turns into a giant candy bar. His eyes are the only non-brown thing on him. So he looks like a giant shit, and he’s crumbling his nose to make sprinkles, etc. It’s disgusting, even by disgusting Axe standards.
That is possibly the most revolting commercial I’ve seen since Domino unveiled the Furry Turd. The nose crumble is bad enough, but I don’t even want to THINK about where he gets the pot of hot chocolate!
I haven’t seen it, but I was reading this post as I answered the phone at work, and I was suddenly unable to make a sound. Because if I did, it would have been BWAHhahaha!
Oh, and I somehow managed to miss the current batch of WalMart commercials that celebrates the only things women are capable of doing: having kids and making snacks for football parties. :rolleyes: The narrator’s comments are particularly repulsive – some blather about WalMart’s great prices helping Moms succeed or something.
God, I hate those for the music. It’s louder by half than the show the commercial slot is set into and it has the worst of field band piece sounds…that very fast, very “beaty”, overuse of tri-toms sound that I can’t stand. It’s like a march in triple time. And not a good march, either.
And what is with the woman at the end who holds up the stack of snacks a little higher to reveal that she is pregnant? What is the message they are sending us?
I will just reiterate one someone discussed earlier. It is a Southwest Airlines ad about how other airlines add fees onto their airfares. THe woman beihnd the ocunter does this creepy thing where she syas one thing, turns around has a different face and says something else.
