The Coors LightWhy do we party? ad. Bad camera work (really shaky), bad music and bad images of obnoxious, sweaty drunks (including a guy with “Coors Light” PAINTED IN HIS CHEST! You know, if I was looking for someone ‘cool’ to party with, the guy with his torso painted blue would be at the bottom of the list).
Basically, I hate this commercial because it glorifies all the BAD things about getting drunk (except one - thankfully they left out the ‘driving home afterwards’ section out) as being POSITIVES. Makes me remember why I don’t drink more than about a beer a year.
I am annoyed by all Victoria’s Secret commercials, but
what irritates me more than anything else is not a particular commercial, but
the PART of those medicine commercials, where they have someone read a disclaimer at the end, usually warning of side effects, or that it doesn’t work, or that herpes can still be transmitted (ew!) or that the side effects are "similar to sugar pill (a placebo) (why even mention it then?)
I mean, the disclaimer often seems to go on longer than the main part of the commercial, which defeats the whole purpose,
plus the voice is always reading so rapidly, and with a false, or no, expression!
Something about their tone of voice just sets my teeth on edge.
Ummm, I’d always suspected that “ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO BE OBNOXIOUS ASSHOLES” was engraved in Comedy Central’s Mission Statement.
My vote is for the Arby’s dweeb who has an orgasm while holding (stroking?) a fishing pole because Barry White’s voice is murmuring to him about a sandwich.
There’s a particularly icky beer commercial playing in my area these days:
Man holds party. Partygoers are inside, but for some reason, the stereo equipment is outside. Obviously, the host is an idiot, but that will become evident on other grounds presently. To let indoor partygoers hear blaring outdoor dance music, IdiotHost props open window with beer bottle. Partygoer 1 promptly takes beer bottle from window and window slams shut, cutting off music. Why Partygoer 1 chose to take the window beer instead of one from the nearby and highly visible ice bucket remains unclear. IdiotHost props open window again, with another beer. Partygoer 2 takes window beer. IdiotHost reprops window with, wait for it, another beer! At this stage, I wonder why IdiotHost doesn’t prop the window open with something less tempting to his alcohol-dazed friends, like a book. I conclude that IdiotHost probably doesn’t even own a book, and his well-used back issues of Maxim and Hustler are probably too flimsy for the job, despite their stuck-together pages.
An accelerated cycle of IdiotHost/Partygoer is shown, with at least six beer bottles taken from the window before a very dim light bulb flashes over IdiotHost’s head and he props open the window with an empty beer bottle.
The upshot of this ad: I don’t want to buy a product in which the advertiser’s assumption is that I will identify with and emulate a complete fucking idiot!
Any ad (and they are mostly car ads) which feature nothing but music, with no dialogue. These are obviously aimed at (and probably made by) slack-jawed dimwits who’ve long since burned their brains out watching too many music videos.
Diff, I can see your POV, but I interpreted that commercial as poking fun at mom, the micromanager.
The woman talks in one run-on sentence, with frenetic gestures at the containers: “I put the beef in the container with the blue top blue starts with B is for beef I put the pork in the pink container P is for pork I put the vegetables in the green container of course I could have put them in violet for vegetables but that would be too much like pink oh honey I’ve got to go you’ll be all right?”
Dad, Sis and Junior probably did just get out of bed, and this is too much for them to absorb at the moment. “McDonald’s?” “Yes, whew, after that, anything!”
Is it also Coors Light that does the ad with the “Who needs sleep?” song? I can’t stand that one, mostly because I first saw it while pulling an all-nighter, so of course my immediate reaction was “I NEED SLEEP, STUPID COMMERCIAL!”
That one bugs me because they are using that cool song from the Barenaked Ladies!!! Are the Ladies selling out?? Yeah, it’s Coors Light.
I saw a funny one the other day that actually had MEN talking about cleaning!!! Guys were sitting around watching a game, drinking beer and one of the guys says, “Hey, have you tried those new Clorox wipes?” His pals say no, and he goes on to explain the virtues of them…the other guys listen in awe. Then he says “Now, if I can only get the wife to use 'em”, they all laugh and nod in agreement. Funnier too because they were all twenty something looking guys you would usually see in a beer commercial.
Um, perhaps yes. One Week has been used in a series of Mitsubishi commericals, and until recently, If I Had A Million Dollars was the theme song of the New York Lottery.
