I might blow my own head off if my doctor did that.
I felt overwhelmed by car commercials this past Christmas, and one of the most obnoxious campaigns was the Infiniti snowball series. I will admit, the first time I saw the guy roll the snowball down the mountain so that it opened up a parking space, I thought it was funny. Since then, however, I’ve come to hate both “Jim” and “Dave” or whatever their names are. Especially the ass in the Infiniti who gets his kid and his friends to bombard the jerk-face neighbor with a bazillion snowballs. “Head’s up, Jim!” Yeah great lesson for the kids…
I’m not their target demographic, but if I was in the market for a luxury sedan, I’d be avoiding Infiniti for certain.
The thing that bothers me about that one is the eyes. It would be better without them. The bathrobe itself is a potent metaphor about depression, you don’t need googly eyes to make it anthropomorphic. And IME depressed people don’t respond well to cutesy things, anyway.
I also love the conniptions that the Abilify commercials go through to explain “It’s an [del]antipsychotic[/del] adjunct to unipolar depression meds. Only unipolar! Please don’t read the rest of our website or you’ll be scared away.”
Will I go to hell for saying that I want to do the woman in the Abilify blob commercial?
My wife takes medication similar to abilify (and in fact took it at one point in the past) and she rather likes the commercial, and the representation of depression as a bathrobe.
Is the solution to feed African kids to cats, or cats to African kids?
Obviously the kids are worth less, so they should be fed to the cats.
Oh, is that what they’re calling it these days?
I like to take a Sheet while I’m working.
I like to take a Sheet while riding in my car.
I like to take a Sheet in my bosses mouth!
Or something like that.
That depends…are you talking about the current representation, or the original version where the characters (including the woman) had no visible teeth when they talked? :eek:
Perhaps you’re channeling Jonathon Swift.
Are you kidding? The techs at my job are far more likely to be working overtime than us salaried punks. And they get time and a half (or double time). Of course, my base salary is a touch better.
There’s an ad that shows up in my Yahoo inbox as background whenever I don’t have any mail. It’s for Publishers Clearinghouse, and it has pictures of two douchebags and a bitch. The two douchebags are guys with their arms crossed over their chests and these incredibly stern and smug looks on their faces. The bitch has spike heels, one leg bent at the knee with pointed toe (on spike heels), a thrust out chest, and an equally smug expression. They all seem to be saying I am not worthy of their contest.
I want to kill them all!!
That new SeaBond commercial with the hand puppet. It’s essentially a sock puppet with a giant set of dentures on the end, so the overall effect is “giant dildo with teeth”
The new JC Penney commercial with the shoppers all screaming NOOOO! when they encounter confusing sales at other retailers. I can’t hit “mute” quickly enough for this one.
Not hate, but:
Ummm… kicking a kid?
I wonder if the pathetic special effects were an attempt to be funny.
I’m emailing JCP and my local station(s) to say that I’m boycotting anyone who screams bloody murder in my house. The poor dogs and wife react with instant anxiety (and, yeah, me, too).
How can this be legal? Can you have a commercial with people yelling “Raaaape!” or “Fire”?
It irritates me that when he’s a doctor he puts on his lab coat at home and eats breakfast wearing it. Who does that? It’s so weird.
I hate the Trojan vibrator commercials with women walking around with their hair blown back (as well as a few guys).
I’m not a prude, but I find it very strange that they are basically selling a masturbation machine to the public, and I’ve not heard much complaining. I guess that’s because women can actually achieve orgasm with the little buzz toy, therefore why would they complain? And guys can get off with it too, I guess by shoving it up their ass, or having their wife massage their balls with it. All I know is that after a wedding shower, three women gave this gift to the bride to be, and looked like they all used it before giving it away, as their hair was in the “blow back” position. And what does the loser husband say when his wife announces they received 3 vibrators for gifts?
Not the normal “WTF have you been telling your friends about our sex life”, or “WTF? how much do your friends think you jerk off?” or a thousand other appropriate responses… no he screams out “SWEET!”, like he’s glad he’s finally getting some help down there;
I can’t wait for the Ronco “Pocket Pussy” to be sold on those infomercials. Or the anal beads, or something just for the guys, like a “trojan blowjob!” (although that sounds a bit gay.) How about something like the “Blowjob Girlfriend”, for the couple who’s woman’s jaw gets too tired, or she can’t get her teeth out of the way. The guy will be thrilled, and she’ll yell “Sweet” when he gets a few at his bachelor party!
