It looked that the “German luxury sedan” that follows the Audi driver and splashes the people at the bus stop was a BMW. I just watched the commercial again and there wasn’t any badging on the car, but the grill looked like a BMW one. ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > I find that ad racist because the white guy seems to be implying that the Asian flight attendant (even though she speaks perfectly good English) doesn’t understand what he’s saying and has to make hand signals to make her understand. I think you miss the point here. Sounds to me like typical dumb-American-white-guy behavior. In other words, he’s the one being made fun of. ---

I am annoyed by that Yoplait commercial where everyone is soooo pleased to be eating Yoplait yogurt that all they can do is make mmmm noises. Thought a lot about that one, didn’t you, guys. Real imagination at work there. ---

> [@mage-girl](#): > > The newest University of Phoenix commercials. “Still don’t think I got a brain?” First, way to get defensive; did anyone actually ask you if you had a brain? Second, way to be condescending to potential employers: “You’re gonna want someone like me - But only if \*you \*have a brain.” :rolleyes: The annoying part to me is that they “rhyme” brain with brain about five times. ---

Real imagination at work there. Yoplait USED to have a commercial with two women sitting eating 1/4 teaspoon bites moaning, ‘it’s SO SO good.’ One of them was an alarming emaciated stick figure, seriously she looked quite ill, and it was rather queasy watching her take 5 minutes to finish the little carton of yogurt, no doubt her entire food for the day. ---

I think it’s a MAACO ad that has the idiot guy saying “Ice?? What ice??” Followed by a face-plant on the icy road. I swear, it is never run alone in any given commercial break. Granted, it’s not the only ad that will run twice within a minute or two, but it annoys me considerably. I cheer for the ice! ---

Not so much the whole ad but a jaw dropping matching of scene and voice-over. It’s one of the psychiatric medications. Two ladies are walking towards a cliff edge overlooking the ocean, protected only by a single rail fence. Voice-over:…“You may have suicidal tendencies”… :eek: ---

That University of Phoenix ad bugs me the most because the woman who is “singing” (and I use the term loosely) is just like the off-key, nasal lead singer of Pomplamoose who sings so many other commercials. Can’t they actually find people who can sing? ---
