Commercials you hate #31,686

The Greenhouse Bitch. Seldom have a hated someone more.

And it’s not on anymore but there was a McDonalds commercial with these two “hand dancers” who sit at a table and do this stupid syncronized “hand dance” thingy while staring straight ahead with this smug grin on their faces. Red hot hatred.

That would be me. I never have any cash on hand. I get annoyed when someone digs through their wallet to find cash then has to stand there while change is made. Or worse insists on digging through change so they can give the exact amount. So slow. My card is swiped and processed in half the time it takes to use cash.

That was one of the biggest WTF? commercials I have seen. There are a lot that I hate, but I that one was bizarre too.

There are 2 currently that I can’t stand, other than the Greenhouse bitch one

Metro PCS. I don’t know what your product is or what you use it for, but why the fuck would you have a couple of (fake?) Indian guys try to sell it? Not that I’m an “America, fuck yeah!” kind of guy, but it really makes no god damn sense. And its not just one commercial, its a series of commerials starring the same two guys! As far as I can remember, they’ve been on for years! All I know vaguely is that they sell some phone stuff, I tune them out whenever I see it

The other commercial seems to have just started running about 2 months ago, so its probably got a few months left. Its the JLo Kia commercial where she’s driving a Kia and all these guys are after her. After she runs over a man in the street, she’s finally cornered by her attackers while two of them drag her out by the moonroof, possibly to rape her, I don’t know. But luckily she does some kung-fu including a delayed double-punch that floors all of the men before she actually throws the punch but probably knocked them out by the sheer force of her inner chi, or some shit

Would that be Debbie Gaby? If so, then no, she’s not local to just Texas, although I wish so much that she were.

My church usually starts at 9:45 and is usually over by around 11 or a little after. (This is central time.) Football doesn’t start until noon. Plenty of time for both.

The Greenhouse Bitch commercial is a given. I will also second the Metro PCS commercials.

I think someone earlier in the thread may have been alluding to this, but this State Farm commercial that I keep seeing makes me certain I never want to be their customer. Why? Here’s what it teaches me:

  1. All State Farm agents are smarmy, spiteful pricks;
  2. It is incredibly difficult to get signed up with State Farm, by their own admission; and
  3. People who are or want to be insured by State Farm are bewilderingly poor drivers, thus guaranteeing that my rates would go up just by association.

If I were Progressive or Geico, I’d be showing that commercial on my own company website. Who thought that was a good idea for promoting State Farm?

And yes, all of the commercials about the “cold” and “super cold” beer are idiotic, but particular the one (or are there two of these?) related to passing the “bar exam.” I want every single one of those people to die in a fire.

Also, they haven’t risen to hatred yet, but the DirectTV (at least, I think that’s who it is) commercials with Fairy Deion Sanders are really starting to get on my nerves. Are there really that many people out there who are passionate sports fans who can’t figure out how to get the game they want to watch?

Another bad Mom ad: it’s an older one for some company, probably a phone company, where the mom, dressed for some reason like some Burning Man reject, is trying to get her son to fly cheap by having him fly in a pet carrier, the point being that she is so desperate to save money that she’ll try anything, I suppose.

Hate for local commercials attempting to spoof national ads or TV shows, for example:

Viking Lounge. I hope they get sued.

There’s some dipshit local company using the “24” motif to advertise for some kind of air conditioning service. Can’t find it, don’t care to look. I hope they got sued, too.

Oh, local commercials are in play, here?

I bring you, from Southern California, one of many Yes, Cerritos! gems.

I’m guessing that you and I were raised in the same era!:stuck_out_tongue: Except we did have two choices at dinner, “take it or leave it!”

That mom should have done what Calvin’s mom did when he said he wouldn’t eat whatever she was cooking(It was stuffed peppers) She told him it was stewed monkey heads, and Calvin, being the little wierdo he was, dove right in.

I love the falcon commercial. I love the guy who walks by with the other bird (cockatiel?) and says “I could have got a falcon” and all of the other weird things that the people are walking around with. I find it entertaining. Not entertaining enough to switch insurance companies, but entertaining.

AT&T wife should be forced to adopt Toyota kid.

This commercial makes me crazy because all the people involved (the woman and the two airline guys) all have massive overbites and look like they’re just coming down from a bender. I don’t need beautiful people in my commercials, but why would you cast actively ugly people?

No, her name is Christine something or other. And she’s always talking about how her company donates to Dallas charities. However, I don’t live in Dallas, and if I’m going to give to a local charity, it’s gonna be one a bit closer to home.

BeenVerified - “Nobody comes around my growing family, without a background check.” Well then let me give pre-natal condolences to the sad and paranoid life your future spawn is about to have to endure.

MetroPCS is a cell phone service. I’ve been to a few conventions populated by MetroPCS franchisees. If their commercials are featuring Indians, I have to say that, given my experience with their franchisee demographic, that makes a lot of sense.

I saw the male analogue to the “Hail the V” commercial again. Turns out it is a Gillette deodorant commercial.

I’m surprised the “Hail to the V” commercials have made it this far since the message seems to be “a woman’s value is her vagina”. Those knights weren’t fighting for her heart or mind. I can’t say I much care but that seems like exactly the thing select groups get worked up about.

The falcon ads bug me because they seem to imply that men will spend any extra money they may have on something frivolous.

The husband in the FiberOne bar commercial whining about fiber making him sad. It wouldn’t be so bad if his wife would just outright tell him the candy bar is fiber-riffic. I just want to punch him, though.

The worst one, though, is the parents afraid of their kid’s reaction to there being only their cereal in the house. Do they think he’s going to send them to the fields for their sin of forgetting to get him his brand? What a sad home they must have, having to kowtow to the evil imp that lives with them. What’s even worse is I have quite a few friends that let their children run their house in much the same way.

I don’t understand the Venza commercials. Do they want to be the car for people who’ve raised vapid, insufferable self-involved twats?

Maybe he’s Anthony from “It’s a Good Life.”
