Commercials that you hate

I’d do her.

I like Mike Rowe when he’s sitting in a septic tank or even telling me about crab fishing. But the scripts from the Ford commercials are painfully unfunny (the radio spots for tires he does are worse) and even he can’t do anything with them. As a result, unless he’s sitting in a septic tank or talking about crab fishing, I’m just as happy not seeing him.

The Alice Cooper version is good, too.

See, I don’t care for that one because he lies. His kids are all mad he’s back-to-school shopping for them, and the daughter says:

“I thought you said school’s out forever?”

And he responds:

“No no, I said school’s out for summer.

LIAR! You bold-faced liar! You sure as fuck DID say school’s out forever! It’s the next fucking line! Your daughter is right, you’re wrong.

A MUCH better response would have been something like:

“Honey…that’s just a song! Now go pick out some pencils.”

I haven’t seen all of them but the second one you mentioned bothers me because it doesn’t make any sense. Why should a Packer fan hate her neighbor because he’s a 49er fan? There’s no long-standing rivalry between the two teams (unlike, for example, the Cowboys and the Redskins). They’re not even in the same division. If the “ad wizards behind this one” knew anything about the NFL, they would’ve made her neighbor a Viking or Bear fan. That way her conduct would’ve been understandable.

The original run with the parrot was worse.

This. The whole president flashback crap is totally unnecessary and doesn’t really follow.

ALL of the Volkswagon “punch your friends and family” commercials.

Agree with the OP: I would slap that bitch down to a lower credit limit for using up our Chase points of a 1950s era dress.

Why is Geico trying to hard to convince us that their CEO is a total moron?

I love this one. It makes me fantasize about Heidi giving me oral sex. I’m sure that was exactly what they intended.

Good one! VW has convinced me that I don’t need their cars.

Not exactly a commercial…

Those ads that are running for the series Memphis Beat. They end with a still pic of the guy leaping/sliding over the police car hood. It gives me flashbacks to TJ Hooker – very disturbing and almost nauseating. :stuck_out_tongue:

:slight_smile: Awesome

I can’t stand that little bastard! I’ve been in an HH Gregg once…there was hardly anyone there (shopping or working), and the whole place gave off a Brendle’s/old Circuit City vibe.

There’s one running right now for some kind of Avery sticky labels, where a screaming biatch of a wife takes a leaf blower to her husband’s fantasy football chart to show him how Avery labels are superior to whatever he’s using. The poor guy barely fights back.

Oh, there’s one that runs late nights around here for some bookbag with an alarm on it…your kid or vulnerable female relative simply pulls the little cord when in danger, triggering an alarm that sends antagonists packing and apparently lasts for hours (in case the kidnapper dumps the bag in the woods). The language and tone of the commercial are so ridiculous (though the acting is funny).

J. G. Wentworth is back, with a clip of the old fart from the 1st run (I guess he croaked or something in the interim)-but it’s those stupid idiots chanting “It’s my money, and I need it NOW!” that gall my bladder to hell and back. No it’s their money, and they just stole it from you. That they are so generously willing to give part of it back to you doesn’t change the reality of the situation. And to top that there’s this “Peachtree” company selling the exact same service, but 1/1000th of the audience at best has one of these annuities, so why are two companies using the most lowbrow of sales strategies (advertising on TV) to reach a tiny fraction of the population? Never grasped that at all.

People keep mentioning “eating sounds” commercials, which reminds me of another one:

The kit-kat commercial where they make the “gimme a break” jingle…with munching and chewing. Not only does that not make any sense because it’s completely atonal, it’s just plain gross. I don’t want to hear people eating, for fuck’s sake.

What? Given the ubiquity of these commercials, I thought every other person out there must have a structured settlement, and I was starting to wonder where mine was. But I have to admit, I like the opera-style ones.

What??? You’re not getting your check?? It’s YOUR money and you want it NOW!!

Liked the commercial, but the end tag of “…experts since 1986…” for the company just made me feel old.

Agreed (though it would have also worked if the neighbor was a Cowboy fan; we Packer fans hate the Cowboys an awful lot, too).

It would have also helped if they had gotten the Green Bay accent right. The lady sounds too Minnesotan.

Doesn’t everyone outside of Dallas hate the Cowboys?
