That 60’s-esque animated commercial for Grand Marnier with the 2 bathing-suit clad cartoon-women at a ski chalet. Not only is the music and faux-french voiceovers irritating as hell, bathing suits in a ski chalet? WTF??
I just realized that this might happen somewhere, but the commercial airs on a Canadian network and you can bet your thermal-underwear covered ass that we don’t wear bathing suits to go skiing.
I am SO glad I am not alone in this. I remember when the real dad did this and saw the video of it, and it was awesome. But this commercial just feels like a horrible, horrible commercialization of it, and the lines you quoted make me cringe every single time. It just sounds so…so FAKE. Like being taken out of a novel when the author decides to dump unnecessary expository on you.
Heh. If you know her back story, your post seems a bit morbidly mean… She is very neurotic, and her anxiety is very wrapped up in her audience liking her comedy. I think she has had a nervous breakdown about it. Anyway, she’s an aquired taste. If you like her weird brand of comedy, which I do, then you can tolerate those commercials a bit more.
I absolutely detest the current holiday Target commercial with the hysterical woman. Last year I thought that Target had one of the best holiday commercials with a very catchy tune. This year, whenever I see the Target commercial coming on I just mute the TV. Too bad Target wasn’t smart enough to just reuse last year’s commercial.
These commercials bug me for a slightly different reason. Presumably the parent knows that toaster strudels are better, so why are there even poptarts in the house in the first place?
The obnoxious girl on the eBay commercial who begins by singing “five golden rings…” and then makes demands on her family members for specific gifts and insults their gifts from previous years.
The horrid Walmart ad where the woman asks the clerk to read her list but it’s all scratched out, and she says she found everything “BOOM”. What a bitch, what a stupid thing to brag about, what an obnoxious way to do it.
What about Best Buy’s horrible “Game on, Santa” ads? I mean, really, you have a woman being bitchy and superior to Santa? That’s supposed to be in keeping with the holiday spirit?
It’s a relatively new commercial but it’s already gotten under my skin; I believe it’s a Verizon commerical in which you see a bunch of random people passing by, saying “Congratulations!” to the person who is supposed to be represented by the camera’s POV. I don’t get it. I don’t want to get it. And I keep seeing it. :mad:
The Florida Anti-Smoking commercials. They are extremely graphic, and are always shown during the 5, 5.30, and 6 pm news broadcasts…we do not need to see someone’s chest cavity wide open and surgeons operating on the patient…extremely nasty…way to ruin dinner…
