The Subway ads with children’s voices dubbed in for the office workers. Not funny and vaguely creepy.
The soup commercials where they talk to the soup factory on can-phones.
Any ad with Flo (Progressive).
I have a question about the Charmin’s little bear with dingleberries and their “Enjoy the Go” campaign, who is worried about this shit? Is it really aimed at people who are afraid they will drop the dingleberries when they are having sex? Or are they solving a problem that doesn’t exist… cause it’s not like you can see back there.
I hate that Lipitor commercial where the guy is admitting what a dumbass he is for not listening to his doctor, and the family member standing next to him says, “Yes, you should have.” Jeez, he’s pouring his heart out about nearly dying and all you can do is nag him about it? That’d make me wish the Grim Reaper had gone ahead and taken me into the next world where, with any luck, there aren’t so many people looking to point out my flaws.
You should have stopped there.
ANY Kay jewelry ad makes me stabby. Hey, how about the one where there’s a storm and lightening scares a grown woman so badly she has to cringe into the chest of her big strong man. You pathetic bitch.
The “Electronic Santa Claus” ad from Target would be annoying enough on its own, but the fact that they run it in every other fucking commercial slot makes me almost as stabby as the Kay commercials do.
I don’t see many jewelry ads that don’t piss me off.
The one I’m here to nominate is an ad for Tacori diamonds (it’s called Checkmate at this link). I can’t tell if that site plays the ad because thankfully my work computer doesn’t have speakers! But it’s some hard-voiced woman singing these retch-worthy lyrics:
Oh, don’t you shoo me away…
La la la la let us play…
:rolleyes::mad:
Annoying.
Yes, although I will give them credit for being just about the only ad to show that kids can be scum, too.
Yup. The woman who can’t survive on her own INSIDE during a thunderstorm wins for setting back the woman’s movement 40,000 years.
Normally I like the State Farm commercials where the insured sings “Like a good neighbor State Farm is there…” and an agent appears to handle the claim (“Can I get a hot tub!” slays me every time…), BUT the one where the guy has backed into another car and his annoying bitch of a girlfriend JUST WON’T SHUT UP and then asks for a better boyfriend, then gets pissed when he asks for a better girlfriend…
I want to strangle puppies that one is so annoying.
Most commercials make me angry, but there’s one, well two ads one product, that currently make my sack shrivel. I believe it’s for an AT&T product, some kind of cell phone or other and showcases a father at his child’s sporting event and be so intent on playing with his phone he completely ignores his own child. The moral of the ad being, “It’s ok if you’re an awful father and a terrible human being, as long as you buy our product.” I would point and laugh so damn hard if I could watch the creators of that ad being mauled to death by wolverines. In fact, I hope I get that for xmas!
You’ve completely mangled that commercial. It’s supposed to be for the new Windows Phone. The guy ignoring his son is using a competitor’s phone. The gist is that his phone requires so much effort to check his Facebook, email, Twitter, etc, etc that he’s ignoring his son. But the guy using the WINDOWS PHONE can check all that information faster because it’s all on the desktop at the same time.
So obviously you should get a WINDOWS PHONE!
Or, you know, put your damn phone away during your kid’s little league game.
Dairy Queen ads. That stupid set of lips telling me to “cram it in [your] mouth”. Also, any Jack In The Box ad: I want to turn that giant styrofoam head into packing material.
Those commercials for that new fox show Bob’s Burger make me want to throw my computer against the wall. Nothing in that commerical is funny. Do they think they are being funny cause they are failing.
Also I’m so glad that I’m not the only one who hates those damn Charmin commercials!!! I actually refuse to buy Charmin because of it. I don’t care how good their toilet paper is or isn’t I just won’t buy it. I will actually drive to another store just so I don’t support Charmin and those disgusting perverted bears!!!
That’s the one I came in here to say. I want to punch that kid in the balls.
IN THE BALLS!!!
Anyway I noticed that they disabled the comments on that YouTube video you posted. Knowing the calibre of comments usually seen on YouTube, I can only imagine how rancid they must have been for the company to cut them out altogether for this video.
Triple your triple ditto and raise! 
I hate those sounds IRL, too.
I read one time that when movie makers want to create the sound of breaking bones, they hold the mike up to the cheek of someone who is crunching ice. Makes my skin crawl.
YES! Thank you! I know it’s weird to talk about fictional people like they are real, but she is a giant, hypocritical, bitch!
The funny thing is, the boyfriend had a bigger change than the girlfriend. He got a complete package make over…went from tubby, nothing special face to chiseled abs and pecks, and perfect face…she already had a decent body and face, she more or less just got skankier…I could say ‘well maybe that’s why she’s upset,’ but again…she got her new BF to be completely shirtless, so…
They’re all for the same product - Miller Lite. They also do those commericals about the two delivery guys who mock everyone for not being manly enough.
That seems to be Miller Lite’s demographic - it’s the beer for people who are insecure.
I also agree with this- the implication, HELL, the **STATEMENT **that the two of them can’t have a real Christmas/holiday.
Actually the offensiveness of Christmas commercials reaches new depths of materialism, misplaced values, exclusivity, “you can’t be happy/worthwhile unless you buy/give THIS bauble… and when you do give this bauble, you are a Hero.”
[Don’t even get me started on the cavalier, shallow way the word “hero” has come to be used… that’s a rant for another time.]
The one commercial that rankles me is not so bad because of the ad itself, but rather its’ context. Lately, while working from home, I’ve put the TV on as background noise and had “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” on the “Chiller” channel on. I’ve noticed that several times when they run it, they have an ad for a ‘Christian online dating service’ - for folks who want a relationship under the loving guidance of the Lord, or something or other.
I don’t care much about the ad itself, but I am baffled as to why it would be run on a cable channel specializing in horror movies, and during a marathon of a show that featured two major characters in a lesbian affair, a star who has several sexual relationships (Angel/Riley/Spike) without being married, and general supernatural overtones.
They seem to have toned them down this year, but the Kay jewlery ads with Jane Syemour and her ugly as sin boob-ass swan necklaces and earrings. Ugh, I even started a thread a couple of years ago about them, but they come back every christmas.
