“nozzles”??? of course that should read “valve stems”
I’m sure that’s what I typed. Darn keyboard. (anybody buying it?)
OK, i dont know if anyone mentioned this yet (i didnt read anything but the title of this thread 
) but theres one commerical I just cant handle. Its the one for that new Genital Herpies medication with the girl saying “It used to take me a whole week to treat a genital herpies outbreak but…” UGH, I always change the channel the second I see that girl on the screen. Makes me want to barf.
Ever wonder how much they must have to pay those suckers in the Herpes ads? “Hi, I have GH, but I don’t let that get ME down!” Enter gorgeous guy/girl, who is presumably GH free
I saw a few posts dealing with Joe Isuzu…Joe rocks!
Oh God, how I hate Miss Cleo. I can’t even insult her…Every time I think of her I just get pissed off.
On another note, in the Steve/Dell commercial where he meets a kid and his mom, what is up with that short kids hair? Would anyone go out in public like that? And has anyone else noticed the look the kid’s mom gives Steve when shes says “Thanks steven”? It looks likes she wants to rape him in the back room of the store for giving her computer advice.
I don’t necessarily hate this commercial, but I think it’s pretty stupid: The latest Pentium spot.
There are two of them, and each is set inside a UFO, featuring bored aliens sitting around playing on their dull computers. Oh, but then they plug in a Pentium III, the fun begins! Wooooo!
Yeah, ok. I’m supposed to believe that these beings have conquered inter-planetary travel at light speed, yet they need a friggin’ Pentium chip to spice up their otherwise dull existance? Sure.
I have a particular dislike of a series of SUV commercials. I’ve seen at least three. In them, we start by seeing a person in a danger situation (Man thrown from dog sled lost in glacial wilderness. Man lost in woods in storm trying to start a fire with rocks. Man hiking in woods surrounded by snarling wolf pack.) The SUV rolls up and the occupant tosses a relatively useless item to the victim (A cup of coffee to the dog sledder, a heater to the lost guy and a bag of dog biscuits to the hiker). The SUV then drives off, leaving the victim to their fate.
I’m trying to decide if the point of the commercial is a) drive this and you won’t be in these dangerous situations or b) drive this and you too can be an inconsiderate jerk.
Nexium
Bunch of people standing on rocks set apart on the ocean. After they take Nexium, the rocks move together.
Nexium: The pill that moves tectonic plates.
(I don’t know what the pill is for, but if it’s a laxative, then I change my vote.)
Attention Smirnoff Ice Ad Agency:
A Mentos-style ad for beer is still a Mentos-style ad!
(Have you seen this? The guys sneak into the “exclusive” dance club by pretending to be kitchen help, and on their way through the kitchen shed their hairnets and outerclothes and emerge on the dancefloor all smug?)
RETARDED!
I hate how “feminine” is advertisement for “vaginal”. It took me years to realize that the “feminine wash” Summer’s Eve wasn’t just a girly body wash. And when you name your product “Vagisil”, I don’t think you can do anything else to hide the product’s use.
I also hate the Burger King commercials with the “uncouth black man in high class surroundings”. I mean, what year are we in?
Old Navy commercials are my favorite though. That is, until the recent runway ones. Before those, they were the best commercials on TV, so the terrible runway ones really disappoint me.
Another commercial that I liked but disturbed everyone else was the Yoshi’s Island “exploding stomach”. It’s THE ultimate commercial.
I’m glad that I’m not the only one who thinks that. Hey, Intel, bring back the Blueman Group!
Oh. You mean that wasn’t an ad for Mentos? I honestly thought that it was!
There’s this one that also takes place in a club. These guys are coming one by one out of the rest room. Everyone stares at them as they come out, so they think they’re all cool. But, really, everyone is staring at their crotch, because they seem to have wet their pants. The reason? A big-ass flat-screen TV - all these men are lined up (I presume in front of the urinals, but who really knows?) and wetting themselves in excitement.
Now, what’s the message here?
I pretty much hate all commercials, but there are a few I really despise.
- The bellybutton one. That one is scary!
- Any car commercial. They all suck!
- Those stupid “We Card” commercials sponsored by Phillip Morris. Everybody knows they market explicitly to teenagers and this little scam doesn’t fool me.
- Commercials for shows I’ll never watch (especially “reality” shows)
- I’m not sure if it’s shown in other areas, but here we get a commercial that has the song “United We Stand” in the background and a waving American flag. This song which was made by hippies who sang it while burning the American flag!!!
I’m very much annoyed by the Gain commercial, where a boy’s “science project” consists of having his classmate sniff a towel washed in Gain two weeks ago!. I have to wonder how much time the ad agency put into this. I love my detergent as much as the next person, but is there a person alive who can watch this without rolling his/her eyes?
I absolutely hate the PSA where a boy with a skateboard says “All the pressures of being a kid go away when I’m catching some air!” Nice sentiment, but it’s just so annoying to hear him talk about all the pressures of being a kid. I wonder if the writers left it vague because they couldn’t think of anything a 12-year-old would worry about, or just because they realized the implausibility of “all the pressures of everyone at school thinking I’m a total jerk go away when I’m catching some air.”
The ad for (I think) TiVo that shows the family rushing thru dinner to catch a TV show that starts in 3 minutes, because they are too stupid to either, plan ahead and eat earlier, or watch TV whilst eating. The slurping and snarfing and general yuckiness of them makes me wish I had a TiVo so I could edit them out. (Mebbe THAT’S the point, and not that you don’t have to rush dinner…)
I hate that one. Is it just me, or is the only thing they’re eating are salads?
What’s worse is the one with the husband rushing into the house with the baby, while the wife is sitting there watching The Sopranos. He asks her about what’s going on, and she says something incoherent. This raises one question with me:
WHY THE FUCK DIDN"T SHE TAPE THE GOD DAMN SHOW!!!
Not to mention the fact that the ad makes the wife look like an idiot.
I could go on for days about commercials, but I’ll wait.
Thomas Kinkaid…
What other asshole runs the same idiotic "Happy Happy Joy in the World (or whatever the wording is) on the radio until people are ready to rip canvas from frames. I don’t care how much “light” is in the damned things, they all look like some sort of smaltzy little town that NEVER should have been recorded.
IKON
Fear of seeing that ad again may keep me from watching the Arizona/Florida game tomorrow.
I’d fire every one of those frigging dancing office people.
Any of the “Jack in the Box” ads drive me crazy. I just wanna beat that guy with the round head. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s cause the food = instant diarrhea.
I hate Jack, too. He’s such a know-it-all. He’s so smug and condescending that sometimes I want to hit him.
The orgasm inducing shampoo ads have been mentioned, but I want to pay special tribute to the one in the airplane. It is so incredibly stupid on so many levels:
- Who would wash their hair on a plane?
- Who COULD wash their hair on a plane? Those bathrooms are about 1 square foot in area.
- Why in the world would there be a button in the bathroom that connected to the plane’s PA system? For the sake of argument maybe an emergency button that pings alerts a flight attendant, but a speaker to let the whole plane hear what you’re doing?
- Assuming this woman managed to wash her hair in the bathroom, how did she fit a blow dryer and a stylist in there with her?
- Even if one person somehow got her hair done, would the flight attendants really have a supply of full-sized bottles of shampoo ready to hand out to everyone else?
Man that ad bugged me, and for a while there it seemed to be playing at every single commercial break. I know it wasn’t supposed to be based on a true story or anything, but please, commercials should have at least some tenuous link with reality.
Don’t know the product, some computer server … “Everything’s Stolen!!!” Fire that dumb ass. Why doesn’t this brain-of-a-goldfish ask his IT guy what’s going on before he call the cops? The IT (stereotypical) even sent guano-for-brains an email.
And fire the morons responsible for this dreck.
