or the splatter of Domino’s choco-flavored turd bombs.
I came in here just to post about the new Axe body spray commercial with Mr. Chocolate Man and I see that other viewers here have already been assaulted by this awful ad. The part I find most revolting is when the girl takes a bite out of his ass. Now I may never view the eating of chocolate the same way ever again.
I hate–HATE!–those commericals (for some drug plan? Never get that far) that begin with a bunch of ninnies blathering, one at a time, that this is a nation-wide program, like I give a shit. If you’re advertising it where I live, then that’s all I care about, but 'From the free state of Maryland," “From the Aloha state of Hawaii,” segues into “Hi, I’m Montel Williams,” by which time I’ve found the remote control and am thankfully spared whatever the shit they’re advertising.
During the Cowboys game they play a commercial that makes me hate a certain “D. Ware.” This pizza guy gets out of the car, looking from side to side. He’s wearing shoulderpads and has a huge shiner. All of a sudden, “D. Ware” “sacks” the guy into the bushes.
I hate it because the premise is horrid. Some professional football player thinks it’s funny to beat up pizza delivery guys? And why do pizza guys keep showing up to his house?
I forgot to mention he has silhouettes of pizza guys on his mailbox. Bastard. But then again, are the pizza guys indentured servants? If they asked me to deliver a pizza to “D. Ware” I’d either quit, or bring a Taser.
I just recently noticed one where a woman goes around “touching” things. Touch, touch, touch. I dunno what they are selling, because it annoys me enough to switch off before it ends.
I really hate all those commercials where the competitor’s representative is a big doofus and the advertiser’s rep is attractive, smart and all things wonderful.
Examples: The Alltel ads with the blue-shirted Alltel guy and the 4 competitors who are all whiny nerds who do nothing but stand around and complain about Mr. Wonderful. A Verizon FIOS ad where the Verizon installer goes up against the fat, red-headed doofus who represents cable. Why does the doofus always have to be a red-head? That’s hair-racism!
Antiexample: Mac vs PC, the PC guy is actually funnier and more interesting and he seems cuddlier.
I know I loves me some chocolate a bit too much, because I never watch that Axe commercial and think, “shit”. I always watch it and think, “Mmm…chocolate”.
I have an ambivalency…those Dell commercials with the neon pastel colors and such.
I hate the song (“I’m green today…I’m orange today…”) but I think the twins in the suits are absolutely adorable in a nerdy kind of way. So I enjoy the visual while I’m enduring the audible…
It’s actually a funny commercial if you substitute “stab” every time she mutters “touch”.
I saw one last night for the Xbox…it has this woman staring into the camera with a vacant look in her eyes. The vacant look remains in place as she slooooowly starts smiling; meanwhile, the camera starts to pan around to show the hollowed-out back of her head, which contains some kind of band. That’s just freaky; besides, how in the hell is that related to the Xbox?
I hate commercials that insult my intelligence (the recent Jack-in-the-Box/“breakfast anytime” ones are the most recent offender), but I usually just brush them off.
But I’m glad others chimed in on the Chocolate Axe commercials, which were disturbing, disgusting, and devoid of anything humorous. Grossgrossgrossgross.
Those bug me because Chad (the Alltel guy) looks like a total douchebag with that stupid hair and smarmy grin.
Agreed. I think the nerdy guys ought to give new meaning to the term “hanging chad.”
The Geico caveman ads annoy me mightily. Not only are cavemen stupid, they’re whiny babies too.
The Geico scientist guy ads aren’t too bad though.
The McDonalds radio commercials that appeal to the “yo yo yo wassup” crowd and the stupid “Dollar Millionaire” dude are terrible. Maybe those are largely their target demographic, but these commercials don’t fit on a classic rock radio station. Try Top 40 or R&B.
And the Natural Light “Nattyisms.” What the fuck? I’m probably their target demographic, but stupid made-up sayings aren’t going to make me drink that piss water.
You go to Alltel.com and that guy is everywhere. Call Chad. E-mail Chad. Buy a phone from Chad.
Reminds me of the “Dude, you’re getting a Dell” dude. Hopefully Alltel has a way to keep Chad out of trouble, unlike the Dell dude.
