I hate these Swiffer ads - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPn7FntWUmU
I think it’s because the costumes gross me out, and the use of the Heart song is quite annoying.
I hate most of the insurance commercials, but which ever company has “the world’s greatest spokes person” currently is high on my hate list.
And that car commercial with that kid who is too cool to ride in his parent’s car. It is wrong to have a commercial that makes me want to punch a child.
I know! He sort of sounds like Burgess Meredith if he was on oxycodone and had illfitting dentures.
There’s a commercial for some prescription drug or another that starts with some super genious woman saying something about how she just discovered that our muscles have nerve endings and that leads to pain. Really? I did not know that.
That lemon with no eyes TERRIFIES me. My wife is unperturbed; I don’t understand it.
does doctor pepper taste like a bitch?!
On the flip side of that, that other commercial series Whose Product I Don’t Remember (really effective advertising there) still has the talking babies in adult voices discussing their investment portfolios. Ugh-I hate it when they don’t let kids be kids.
As I already said I loathe Geico, but they’ve been pumping out ad after ad for that General Insurance lately-on that one which mimics a seminar, I have to chuckle at all the people in the room which are having a shared hallucination of this cartoon general guy pontificating on why they should buy his insurance. Anybody who buys from them is even more brain-dead than the Geico zombie hordes (yes my sister has them-ugh again).
The one I want to kick in the nads tho is that Dos Equus guy-no I don’t give a flying fuck why everybody seems to think he’s so “interesting”, but I’m sure he would crumple like a house of cards if I did, which I would definitely find infinitely satisfying.
Heh, I think “the most interesting man in the world” commercials are awesome. They’re so over-the-top in their tongue-in-cheekness that it works for me.
Except the tagline makes no fucking sense. Why would anyone want a beer that makes them stay thirsty?
Haven’t seen it yet, but that will likely make me boycott Dr. Pepper.
The Highlander commercials are so far off the mark… It seems like everyone hates them. Why did Toyota go with this campaign? Talk about seriously misreading the American public. There’s a thin line between precocious/cute and annoying/bratty. This kid and the whole campaign seriously miss the mark.
Speaking of annoying kids, there’s another one out there with a little girl that reminds me of the twins from The Shining. She’s all morose because her mom won’t buy her Kraft Mac and cheese. She shoots the camera all these pissy looks… instead of thinking “how funny!” I want to slap the crap out of her. Hey toolbox, how about helping mom out instead of bitching about what your poor mom puts in front of you every night, you spoiled brat?
This is going to sound vague as shit but I recall a commercial for Pedialyte, I think, when the kid refuses to drink water so the dumbass mom goes to the fridge and hands whiny brat a Pedialyte instead. And another where the kids whinge about dinner so she buys them a pizza. Seriously, I don’t know what I hate more… whiny assed kids or weak spined parents.
“Halloo! I’m Patrick Cox, founder of TaxMasters!”
Win. This guy’s been parodied on SNL and he appears to be a fraud… Still see his monkey ass on TV. Did anyone not tell him, “Dude, you look like a tool. Let’s just hire an attractive spokesperson?”
For that matter, that special genre of ambulance chaser lawyer commercial that always feature the socially awkward principal telling you how he will win you a lot of money.
The “pudding face” commercials are seriously disturbing.
Those Sprint commercials that put someone’s number up so you can call them because they have free everything:
Especially because it’s been done before:
Yes. I get especially repulsed when the announcer says "You can’t pass mother’s inspection with, blah, blah, blah…)
Really guys, I don’t want to be thinking about my mother when I’m wiping my ass.
Jeez!
The Bud Light “I’m in and I’m out” commercials drive me insane. Basically they follow two guys - ‘I’m in’, who is all cool and agrees to go out drinking with his friends every night, and ‘I’m out’, who stays home instead and is clearly a big giant loser because of that. The end of the commercial shows ‘I’m out’ going to work in the morning, while ‘I’m in’ is still out partying his ass off at some skeevy hotel.
Seriously, Budweiser, does this work for you? “Ha ha, look at that dork who is gainfully employed! How dare he not want to get wasted every night!”
I’m not sure why this bothers me more than other beer commercials, but it really does.
Robin the pack a day smoker from the Chantix commericals. She just SCREAMS " I’m a Hetrosexual Family Values Woman Who Feeds My Family Hot Pockets and Reads Danielle Steele!"
The Reclast nana "To my grandkids, I’m Nana. Friend, secret keeper and playmate. What secrets do your grandkids tell you? " I have a “special place where I like to “play” with animals? or " I have an invisble friend who tells me to kill my siblings”
There’s a Wheat Thins commercial that shows some poor bastard under a rock with his dog and some asshole in a helicopter swoops in, taking the Wheat Thins and leaving this guy and his dog.
I like Wheat thins but this commercial blows.
If you hadn’t noticed, they’ve cut out his line, “Just because you’re a parent doesn’t mean you have to be lame.”
The Robert Goldwater law firm commercials for Tardive Dyskynesia that play every 15 minutes on cable channels. Are there really that many ambulances to chase over Tardive Dyskinesia? Plus, I wouldn’t hire that slimeball to take out my trash.
