The point is that the phone has a super-realistic (I assume high-pixel) screen. The tarantula wallpaper looked so real that the girl and shoe-man thought it was. Thus the screaming and pounding. I agree, though, that the commercial is annoying and stupid.
OMG. I just watched as much of an episode as I could stomach, and the weenie-ass douchiness was thicker than a wall cloud. I’ll bet the locals love all these city slickers running around in their batmobiles on their farm roads. :rolleyes:
Yeah, but you have to appreciate the disclaimer -
“Screen Images Simulated”
My new irritating one is the woman who’s at the breakfast table with her family, and some workman shows up to tell her that the elevator is out at her building. She says “So I have to walk up 20 flights of stairs in heels? I guess I’d better drink my orange juice!”
Uh, she’s still at home - does she have to put heels on? Where does she work - Madison Avenue…in 1978? And why can’t she just take her damn heels off to go up the stairs?
Yeah, that bugs me about that whole series. If you find out at breakfast all the events that will make your day purgatory on earth, don’t sit there and chug some OJ. Put on flats, leave early to avoid the traffic that will make you late for your meeting, study a few minutes for the math pop quiz etc.
I agree with a lot of these but I cannot DISagree with you more.
I think this commercial is downright hilarious. The way that actress just screams her ever-lovin’ head off makes me laugh.
I hate the “Jello Temptations” commercials because all I see in those commercials is horrible parenting.
Kohler. From the farting tuba soundtrack to the marching singing manly-men in their group-poop parade, it’s basically just being all cutesy-cutesy about shit. Awful.
Some prescription ad with a shlubby guy who has acid(?) He has to carry a giant beaker of green piss everywhere. Why?
It represents his case of gout.
The commercial that annoys me is the AT&T one where the wife calls her husband at work as a reminder that today is their anniversary, and of course he, being a shlumpy white male, has forgotten all about it - but, thanks to his iPhone, he can pretend that he hasn’t forgotten. Except his tone of voice and constant stammering makes it completely obvious that he HAS forgotten it.
Super annoying commercial. Who does AT&T think is dumber - the guy for forgetting and trying to cover up; the wife, for not noticing his obvious hemming and hawing; or the viewers, for not instantly hitting mute?

Pat Cox doesn’t “appear” to be a fraud. I can assure you from personal knowledge that he is a much bigger fraud than anything you will hear. But to get back to the topic, here is a parody of his awful ads.

There’s a local commercial with some ambulance chaser calling himself the “Texas Hammer”. He’s loud, annoying, and compares himself to a bull terrier dog. I strongly suspect that if he actually pulled some of those didoes in court in front of a judge, he would be in a holding cell for contempt faster than you could say “Cal Worthington”.
