Commercials you hate #31,686

A new one that I hate. Forget what it’s for but some dopey guy is handed clothes to try on by his girlfriend that are obviously for women and the “joke” is when he comes out to show her he is wearing clothes that are obviously for women, a woman also comes out wearing the same clothes that are obviously for women. Ho! Ho!

Why would she torture him like that and why would be go through with it? It was freaking leggings dude!

“Every kiss begins with Kay”

Kay Jewelers has only been around since 1916, so what did all those kisses that happened before 1916 begin with?

(Yeah, I desperately need a life. So what’s it to ya?)

Alcohol?

The Kindle commercial where the woman and man snidely discuss why she bought two Kindles. I want to shove one of them down her throat, and the other one up… oh never mind.

We have a winner.

Yeah, I don’t get that one either. Why would the guy even try on those clothes? It doesn’t make any sense.

Because his wife promised to give him a blowjob if he did. That’s the way it sounds in my head, anyway.

“That video is private”. What is the product in the ad? Or does someone have anothe rlink?

CPI used to show cute commercials depicting a burglar (in early 20th century “burglar” getup) being intercepted by two big, burly guys. Their newest ads feature a stereotypical dumb blonde woman running up the stairs in response to White Hobo and Token Black Guy kicking in her front door. :mad: I can’t believe I’m using this company’s services.

Every single one of the damn 4g commercials. Especially the ones where everything is “so x secons ago.” I did not miss that type of saying from the 90s at all. The valley girl type teenagers I wanted to smack then. Why is that back? Especially non ironically? Is the message they’re trying to convey here that people who use their products are smug douchebags that need to grow up? Because that’s the message I’m getting!

I hope that Hyundai Sonata commercial, with that LOUD MOUTHED BROAD thrashing the white guitar, will disappear. Like tomorrow. I hate her braying voice so much I fantasize pitching a full glass bottle of Coke right at my TV.

Now I hate Trojan BareSkin condoms commercial. First because I always hear it “BearSkin.” Also the annoying music. But most of all because IT PLAYS EVERY COMMERCIAL BREAK.

One I just noticed tonight: A Time Warner Cable add that shows a couple backpacking, with the female not enjoying the experience at all. At the end, the man calls her into the tent, where he shows her that he downloaded her favorite TV show onto his laptop, so she can watch it in the wild.

Small problem. There is no way in hell they could pack the laptop, the tent, the sleeping bags and the lantern into the internal frame rucksacks they were carrying. Much less food, water, the 10 Essentials, etc.

The camera crew from Bear Grylls was hired to film the commercial. :smiley:

I HATE the music in that commercial! Also, the closeup of the bandage being removed from the blister is nasty.

I was hoping that once Xmas was over, that guy would stop dancing down the stairs sideways singing “It’s the most wonderful sale of the year”. Actually, any commercial that uses a holiday song with their own shitty lyrics drives me crazy.

I don’t mind the other commercials in the series but this particular V8 ad with Jackie Chan bothers me for several reasons. First, even though the ad is obviously a shot at Ocean Spray, I rather like cranberry juice. Second, while it’s okay after 12 p.m., *just the idea *of drinking something heavily tomatoey like V8 Vegetable Juice in the morning gives me heatburn. Third (and finally), the only time I ever see this ad is in the morning before I’ve eaten breakfast so, in my often drowsy state, I have to quickly switch the channel or else start feeling the acids in my stomach building up.

I noticed the other night that it’s cheaper to save a dying African child (per Alyssa Milano) than it is to save an abused cat (per Sarah McLachlan). In fact, each cat is worth 1.2 African kids.

There’s a new series of truck (Ford, I think) commercials that feature the trucks, in CGI, doing unbelievable things, like having a plane landing it’s broken front gear in the bed or “snowboarding” down a mountain and doing a flip. I’m fine with stunts and exaggerations in car commercials, but it kind of misses the point when you’re saying “Look at all the cool stuff our trucks can’t really do.”

Apparently American cats eat better than African kids.
