Speaking of, it angers me that I had to wait through a seeming eternity of those damn commercials just to have them finally end…
…and have T-Mobile use the same exact schtick for their current run of commercials.
The new Toyota Highlander commercial with the kid we all love to hate. In this one, the Highlander pulls up next to another car where the parents are singing some annoying song and the kid in there is mouthing “help me.” Then the Highlander kid starts talking about how great it is that he can watch his own movies and listen to his own music on his own headphones in the Highlander.
I want to kick that kid in the balls. IN THE BALLS!!!
And honestly what type of pathetic adult really gives shit about whether or not their kids think their choice of vehicle is cool?
Here, here! I hate that smug little kid too. (He also is in dire need of a haircut).
God forbid you have to talk to your parents/children while in the car. I don’t know how I survived all those family trips growing up!
I hate the cereal commercial in which the slacker dude wants to eat a bowl of his “honey oats” or whatever, but it’s the middle of the night. So he drives to the airport, gets on a plane, flies to (what looks like) Southeast Asia, just so he can go to a beach where the sun is rising and therefore it is morning - and so he can eat his cereal!!!
Every time I see that ad, I wonder how much money was put into filming that rather isipid, not funny at all joke?
The Dr. Pepper commercial with Paul “Senior” Teutel from American Chopper.
Here he’s seen asking some waiter “What does Dr. Pepper taste like?”
The waiter replies, “It takes like, uhh, Dr. Pepper.” and then after replying likewise once or twice more he (apparently) gets a beatdown by Sr. and some tough guys he’s with
This is the one I came to post. What ad genius pitches the idea “let’s show our customers get the living shit beat out of them by bikers.” In fact, I question any commercial that shows bad things happening to their consumers.
I swear that the Subway commercials with the adult actors talking in the dubbed “child” voices makes me want to throw a brick thru the plate-glass window of the nearest Subway franchise, but of course it’s not their fault, so I guess I should just burn down the corporate headquarters instead. (obviously with the department heads who approved the ad campaign locked inside, screaming in terror, knowing that dread Satan has prepared a special place in hell for them for inflicting those fucking ads on the unsuspecting world)
Nitpick: Not a waiter. Just some random guy buying a Dr Pepper from a vending machine.
The commercial does seem rather ill-advised for Senior to have made, though, considering the issues he has with his sons, Mikey in particular.
It seemed like a weird stunt cast anyway, since Senior doesn’t really have that “biker gang” image.
Apparently the kid gets some other kid’s mom to drive him around. If you recall from the first in the series, his parents don’t have a Highlander.
Geico, just for their sheer over exposure. Every radio, every tv. All the time and constant. If they cut their ad budget by 50% they could still be the most seen and heard insurance company on the airwaves and save us a hell of a lot more on our car insurance.
Pepsi’s got a new radio one with stupid music and pouring sounds. I have to turn off the radio whenever it’s on.
Can somebody please tackle the World’s Greatest Spokesman in the World and rip out his tongue? Most annoying thing on TV since “can you hear me now”.
Chevron’s new ads about “We make a lot of money…here is how we spend it!” commercials, which is pleasantly-worded to say “We invest in bringing energy to people! We Invest in small business and contribute to the economy!”
Which is a thinly-veiled version of saying “We use the money to sell MORE gas and make MORE MONEY!!!”
I’ve never wanted to punch a spokesperson in the mouth that much since last year’s BP “We’ll make it right” commercials.
I want the Mac guy to become the iPhone guy, and do a commercial where he says:
"I’m an iPhone - and I know where you live!
But that’s not my gripe. My gripe is the set of commercials running in the Bay Area, on the radio, advertising 2011’s hot new disease: toenail fungus. And a medical office where you can get your toenail fungus lasered off. Because a guy wasn’t scoring with the chicks because of it. Maybe he should stay away from foot fetishists. And, the “surgery” is really great because you don’t have to be put under to do it. Duh.
Hey Dr. Bozo, if you were stupid enough to spend big money on a toenail laser, don’t spam our airwaves trying to make up a new malady so you can pay it off.

Sixteen year old wants to drive. Dad says “Tell you what - when we stop for gas you can drive.” It’s a VW TDI, so it gets 42 MPG. Kid has to sit there not getting to drive for several hours.
Ho, ho. Dad’s a fucking asshole.
This Swiffer ad with the Steve Carell lookalike.
Go away, already.
That ridiculously idiosyncratic old weirdo who does the Boar’s head radio commercials. His voice grates like a nuclear-powered Mouli.
I came in to say this. I think it bothers me so much because it reminds me of some kind of festering wound.
I KNOW - no fucking WAY does that make me hungry!
