The snowboarding truck is a Nissan. Not sure about the plane landing one – Ford’s commercials usually make some sense, so maybe that one’s also a Nissan.
Yeah, what’s the point?
Same with that Dr. Pepper commercial – the one that’s “not for women”. Then why not limit the ads to Spike TV?
Because fewer women would see the ad. Being the [del]contrarian[/del] liberated creatures that they are, they will buy anything they are told they can’t/shouldn’t.
I just caught a glimpse, but I think I may start to hate this one: a trailer for George Lucas’ Tuskegee Airmen film. A choppy, Michael Bay-style trailer. With motherfucking dubstep soundtrack! I don’t think they had that back in World War II…
Yeah, those truck commercials are Nissan, not Ford.
Crystal Light, I think.
Two women are on an airplane. One orders Crystal Light to keep her bikini-ready figure. The other launches into a diatribe about how overworked they are and will never have the opportunity to be on a beach.
Quick cut to the plane crashed on a island somewhere. Hunky guy asks which of the women wants to help him collect fresh water. Miss CL steps up and starts taking off her blouse.
Because, really, what’s all that death and destruction if you get to meet a guy with great pecs?
I kinda wish someone else had seen this commercial first. I feel disappointed that I can’t reach the level of humorous snark that it truly deserves.
Why does this make me think of turning starving children into cat food?
That’s a great commercial! The Britney wanna bes (with wigs - yes, it’s obvious), the dancing, the bathing suits that make an appearance. Yea!
That one is just bizarre. She seems to be looking at him like she kinda knows they’re women’s clothes, and she’s smirking that he was dumb enough to be seen in them.
Doesn’t he take a picture and send it to his friends for their comments? Who would do that?
I think the guy in that commercial plays Badger, one of Jesse’s meth-head friends, on Breaking Bad, so I just assumed he was totally baked when he put on that outfit and solicited comments. 
But she is hot, so it’s okay. I think of shoving something in those places, but it ain’t no Kindle.
It’s not an awful commercial, but the Microsoft (I think) one with a father and son doing each other’s work grates at me.
The kid’s exasperated because he can’t figure out his math homework. He’s figuring the square root of about six different three-digit numbers. A very basic calculator would spit out the answers, squaring a few two-digit numbers would lead him to the answer. Instead, dad brushes him aside and does the work. He doesn’t even try explaining the math to his kid.
Kid uses his time to jazz up dad’s work presentation. Which is going to go over great, provided dad works for someone with the mentality of a 12-year-old who isn’t interested in actually getting information. Even if you ignore the graphics and effects, none of the graphs have legends and the music’s going to drown out anything he says.
Success all around!
Yes, I like those commercials, but it’s mainly because I’m imagining her undressed.
One I hate is, I think, for Cheerios with some annoying brat running around saying “THAT’S FOR BABIES! THAT’S FOR BABIES” until stumbling upon Cheerios.
The product that Ikea forgot…
This commercial ran in my TV market this Christmas season, with the eye-contact creepiness scene significantly shortened. It was still creepy, though.
I jsut saw one…chocolate people? And the song…“I’ll stop the world”?
Not terrbile, but really strange.
The Hispanic scholarship fund commercial. “You WILL go to college” “NooOOoo mom” “Yes” “Nooooooooooo”
I cannot stand the one for I think Weight Watchers where the woman is sitting on the couch eating a stick of butter with the same gusto one would eat king sized Milky Way. It is just nauseating.
But you’re completely missing the important message.
Getting a college education ensures your wife is better looking.
The one with the dumb ass high school student and the engineer who were both inspired by their teachers.
There’s a really stupid one out for Abilify right now, the animated one where a woman’s depression is represented by a bathrobe. They used to use some dark blob for the depression, but now it’s a bathrobe for some reason. Whatever. The two maddening events in this commercial for me happen when she visits the doctor. First of all, her depression robe sits in a seat next to her taking notes along with her. WTF? Your depression is not like an annoying little brother you have to take along with you; it’s not sentient, and why in the hell would it want to take notes if it were? The second thing is that the doctor sits the woman and the depression robe down to show her a video…of THE SAME DOCTOR TALKING. Instead of just talking to her about Abilify, he had to record himself talking about Abilify and she goes to the trouble of visiting his office only to watch a damn video that she could’ve probably watched at home.
The only difference in his life seems to be that he gets to have nicer stuff. Wife and kids looked just as happy when he was the HVAC technician who didn’t work 90 hours a week.
