Clipo, Cliop, CLIPO!!! For the love of God, STFU!!!
I don’t generally like the caveman commercials. When I saw that one I questioned whether the caveman could get a woman who was that attractive. Then I realized that she was probably so easy that even a caveman…
I used to hate those, until the hula girls arrived. That cute little belly button mesmerizes me.
And here it is!
Oh Gawd yes. I’ve loved Brooke Shield for 30 years, but I cannot stand those ads.
I like the Brooke Shields ads. I just saw last night that talking fingernail/thumbnails ad–that is creepy as hell and very off putting. I would not buy whatever product is being sold (and cannot recall the product at all–just those two faces where thumbs should be).
Any Sarah Silverman promo will make me either mute or change channels–even for those 15 seconds. I can’t stand her or her “comedy”.
I hate the Cheers detergent commercial with the Irish washerwoman. I’m not Irish, so I’m not particularly offended, but it insults my intelligence that they would go with such a lame, corny stereotype to sell their detergent. It certainly doesn’t make me want to rush out and buy any.
Whatever those commercials are that look like they took video and colored over it. Looks like the guy is talking about finances or insurance or something. All I can think is “Why would you just trace over actual video? Either draw something original or just use video.”
Oh my fucking god, yes. The guy is a giant smarmy douchebag and the stupid video effect only manages to enhance what a colossal tool he is. I genuinely do have to change the channel when those come on.
The most recent string of “Hi, I’m so-and-so’s phone…” have really upped the ante. While before there was only the possibility that you could miss a concert or not see your favorite athlete when he was in town, now, if you don’t have AT&T, the following things will happen to you:
*your house will burn down,
*you will be blown to smithereens,
*you will be hauled off to jail, with the possibility of being raped by the other inmates.
:rolleyes: times a trillion
CLIPO WANTS YOUR CHILD’S SOUL. ***FEAR CLIPO. ***
Dell/Windows Vista ad. Megadork employees in an office singing Deck the halls with… (various compu-things, none of which rhyme).
All fall silent for some reason. Rat faced fat woman says,
“Let’s go carol with Carol.” OH HO HO HA HA HAAA HA HA HEE HEE SOOOO FUCKIN FUNNY :rolleyes:
I just want to take all these people to Wal-Mart, drown them in the restroom toilets, and place a cake of bowl cleaner in each of their lifeless mouths.
HATE HATE HAAATE.
Hell, if I had to list every commercial with grammatical errors…is it so hard to write a parallel series, people?
And yeah, the empty heads on Xbox 360: :eek:
Not Irish, I don’t think. My ear says Cockney-ish. I kind of like the actor who plays the shlub she’s talking to. “U-underpants?”
Allow me to second and third the dizguzting commercial with the faces where thumbs ought to be. I think it’s for some phone that supposedly makes texting easier. This creeps me out so bad I have to look away (I won’t change the channel because, hey, my program’s gonna be back on in a minute).
And, oh yes, I watch far too much tv.

I don’t know the name of the company, but it’s the commercial where they pay you to send them your “scrap gold”. The commercial has this dear, little, old woman with a handful of bills saying “I got six hundred dollars for my gold”. I don’t know how to explain it really but something in her voice or the way she says it breaks my heart and for reasons I really can’t explain reminds me of the poor mom from ‘Requiem for a Dream’. I also just have a reeeaaallly hard time believing she got the full, fair value. Nor would I trust one’s gold to always, you know, actually get there.
Now maybe I’m being unfair to the company, who knows, but it just seems like such a predatory commercial targeted towards the elderly. The fact that I only ever see it on Faux(a lot!) and maybe sometimes on the other cable news channels, only reinforces that opinion.
The Trident commercial where the squirrel crawls up the dentist’s pants leg.
Not the least bit amusing and if I chewed Trident I would stop doing so.
Is that the one where the shlub covers his nipples when the washerwoman bounds into the room?
Right now the commercial that sends me rushing to the mute button is the one with the two guys in kiddie strollers who suddenly starts bawling like babies. Drives me up the wall!!! And I have no idea what they’re selling with that commercial.
Oooo, that Betty Crocker cookie commercial where the dad eats the Santa cookies and then has to make more because the little brat wanders into the room yelling “HE’S GONNA LEAVE HE’S GONNA LEAVE HE’S GONNA LEAVE!!!” :mad:
The older 5 Dollar Footlog Subway commercials have already been mentioned, but I really, really, REALLY, hate the new ones where they have untalented morons singing the 5 dollar footlong song off key, etc.
I can’t find the remote fast enough to mute the sound! There are two of these stupid things and I’m really starting to think about boycotting them based on these ads!!
I automatically mute ALL commercials, TV & radio, but the one that sticks in my mind as the most vomit-inducing of all time is from way back during the election night when Kennedy beat Nixon. It seemed like every two or three minutes during the election news broadcasts this asshole from Mennen’s would come on and intone, in a voice that sounded like it was bubbling up throught hot melted oleo, “Men, do you shave under your arms? Then you don’t want to use a women’s deodorent etcetcetc…”.
I have a loooong memory, and have never bought one item from Mennen in all the years since.
I don’t watch a lot of commercials but the ones that I absolutely can’t watch are the “male enhancement” ads and the Optimum/Cablevision ads, that guy has a smugness that I just can’t stand.
A lot of the other ads you’re talking about I actually like, “saved by zero” is awful enough to be kind of compelling and I’m always at least curious to hear the new check-your-credit-online jingle.
I think the asswipe bears are interesting, the ads are kind of gross and cringe-inducing but they’re trying to solve a very tough problem; the “klingon” issue is among my top toilet paper concerns and it’s damned hard to address in a TV spot. It’s better than rubbing TP on one’s face or squeezing the roll, in a sense anyway.
