Actually I took actonel for about 8 months while dealing with my hyperparathyroidism issues, and no shit it is that bad. I was feeling under the weather and figured that once wouldn’t hurt, and I had the worst heartburn of my life, I think that if anything they underplay the dangers.
Did you know the uninsured cost of actonel is $225 per pill :eek:
IV infusion is all the rage, they bulldozed a beautiful hillside behind me to build an IV Infusion Emporium for all kinds of ailments. I know that Boniva pill can give you a bad reaction, so maybe its easier getting an IV for some people.
I love the pothole commercial voice, I think it’s adorable! I thought it sounded like Brittney Murphy. It’s been viewed over a million times on You Tube. Well, to each his own. There are people who guffaw over Captain Morgan commercials, so…
Toyota Sienna Minivan Mom: in order for people to mistake you for the hot babysitter, it would help of you were 1. younger 2. actually HOT.
Also George Takei screaming “oooooohhhhhhh myyyy” in a creepy semi-orgasmic manner at the stupid Quattttttron TV (wow it has yellow now!!!). His bizarre speech patterns have always bugged, but I was safe if I didn’t watch Star Trek. Now he is on my TV every 5 min. NOOOO!
Yep yep. I don’t even know what it’s advertising, I always mute or switch channels as soon as I detect it. It’s the top of my list of hated commercials.
I haven’t liked her from the start, especially since she is up against Erin Esurance, the hottest toon ever. But I’m not to fond of the latest Esurance commercial. More Erin please, less fat mechanic.
The Sienna Minivan Dad who gets all bent out of shape when he takes his kids on a play date and sees that another dad is “copying his style” by not only buying a Sienna but an identical car seat. Then, as he’s putting everything back in the car he talks about how he “just has to be the better man”.
In fact, all the Sienna commercials seem to be trying to establish that Sienna owners are self-absorbed assholes.
There’s some really annoying Pepsi commercial (that I only seem to notice running on the local “urban” tv station) that just keeps saying, over and over “One tribe, y’all! One tribe, y’all! One tribe y’all! One tribe y’all!”
I can not hit the mute button fast enough.
That fat mechanic freaks me out. He’s just so damn … eager about fixing their car and emailing them photos. I get a creepy stalker vibe from him.
DiGiorno pizza, where the pizza is so heavy that it falls through the floor and into the apartment below. The guys down below think it’s so cool that they’ve scored some free pizza and the guy upstairs, who now has this BIG GAPING HOLE right smack-dab in the middle of his living room floor, only seems to care about getting his damn pizza back! The guys downstairs don’t seem to mind having a big hole in their ceiling, either.
Skylight!
Hoo boy, I fucking hate this one as well, for so many reasons. First, doesn’t the mom look about 10 years too young to be that girl’s mother? I have a hard time buying her as a real mom to a kid that age. Plus she looks a little like the Octomom. I think silently to myself, “Why aren’t you at home watching your other fifteen kids?” Then she’s got the smug half-smile/smirk on her face.
Ultimately, the stalking service offered by Verizon just strikes me as way too 1984-ish.
I always wondered what happened to Steve. Maybe the tree-brain got him.
Most recent hates:
That wrinkle farm who has OCPD or whatever the fuck and runs around blowing on shit.
Prilosec OTC: At the beginning of the commercial, there’s a crawl on the bottom that says “This is an ad for Prilosec OTC”. No shit? Then, at the end, there’s another crawl that says “This ad was sponsored by Prilosec OTC.” WTF? I mean, honestly, WTFF? It wasn’t sponsored by Doritos?
My fifteen-inch tv has a BUILT-IN VCR! Win!
Yeah, well, my thirteen-inch TV has a built in VCR! I’m on the cutting edge I tell you.
I hate all commercials, but generically the ones that play at 3 times the volume of the show you were just watching.
Also, the ones with just the right tone to piss me off. The new Allstate commercials with the pseudo-Hispanic (or whatever) guy have a few that softly plays their jingle at the beginning and grows all the way through it, but that first tone is at the pitch that makes dogs clear the room.
The Subway ones that clip all their spokespeople together sounds like a stuttering rifle. Everybody shut up and pick a voice, please. KFC has the same style. There’s another one that does it but it escapes me at the moment.
All the Comcast Xfinity commercials. And all the Dish ones. In fact, all those that, rather than focus on their own bonuses / plus factors whatever, focus on the negatives of their competitor.
Remember when they used to try to be funny? Not just the ones during the Super Bowl, either.
Any brand that tells me “I MUST ACT NOW OR…”
The AT&T ones with what’s his first name Arquette. I hate his voice. And he looks almost like he’s animatronic.
All the screaming ones. Pappa John’s comes to mind. As well as the “THAT’S A LOW PRICE” one.
There are so many more…
You left out the “best” part:
Let’s get amnesia
Fuhgeddabout all dat evil
Dat evil dat dey feedja
I too hate the VW commercials except I’ve got to admit to laughing out loud when the salesman makes the baby cry and when the guy asks Stevie Wonder “How do you do that?” and waves his hand in front of his face.
There’s one commercial that airs during the local morning news (on WRAL, if you’re interested) that plays above the “normal” volume level. It plays this horrible screeching fast-tempo “music” while showing an orange peeling itself. I have no clue what the commercial is for; I always cut the cable box off when it comes on (cutting the cable box off is faster for me that time of day than trying to locate the mute button).
