Technically, the tender is a strip of muscle that is attached to, but separate from, the breast. So they kinda do have a tender, but not as an appendage or anything.
Still a stupid ad, though.
I saw that and thought “oh god, it’s an invasive species!”
The Toyota ads asking Ordinary People how they would use Toyota technology to make the world a better place are bad. They remind me of the the Microsoft ads featuring Ordinary People telling how the new features in Windows 7 were their ideas.
I don’t want to hear vague ideas from untrained people.
And for that matter I don’t go to concerts to hear the audience sing.
The thing I dislike about is is that one of the “voices” that the kid hears is something like “you’ll never be as good as your dad.”
The thing is, that’s true. The kid is Diggy Simmons. His dad? DJ Run. Of Run DMC. When your dad was a member of one of the greatest hip-hop groups of all time, a true innovator, and you’re a generic Auto-tuned rapper, you never will be as good as him. Deal with it.
No one has yet mentioned the dating site (starts with a “Z”…zooz, zoog, something) commercials?
The first featured the hot redhead with the guy that banged her head into the bedpost, fell on the floor, etc. etc. Then she says something about “a movie date” while the whole office is looking over her shoulder.
W. T. F. ???
Zoosk
She, and apparently all her female friends, fantasize about her hooking up with a guy for sex, and then imagines everything going wrong, so she just decides to look for a guy to go on a light date with, and all her friends agree.
Who knows, maybe she’s psychic and that’s why she knows a booty call would only end in disaster. 
Ugh, can’t stand that guy. Smarmy is the perfect descriptor for him.
My contribution is the Ford commercials with Mike Rowe (whom I generally like), specifically the one where he “randomly” picks someone out of the classified ads who is selling their older Toyota and brings them a brand new Ford with all the bells and whistles to drive, and then records their testimony about how much better a car it is than theirs. Of course it’s better than your old beater that you’re trying to sell… it’s brand new and fully loaded!
I don’t understand the hate for him. He just seems to be smiling and being friendly. What should he do, frown? Or just have serious look on his face all the time? I don’t seem the smarminess.
Some people just have that look that instantly rubs one the wrong way, and he’s one of them for me. I haven’t given it much thought as to what it is exactly that makes me perceive him as smarmy, but he doesn’t just stand there smiling–he talks about how great State Farm is, and I think the combination of how he carries himself and speaks and his choice (I know they’re not his choice) of words that just come across that way.
Because he has the squinty-eyed Tom Cruisesque perma-smile. I associate that look with Tom Cruise, and I associate Tom Cruise with attributes like “fake” “annoying” and “batshit crazy.”
There’s some drug ad with people who sound either frustrated or bewildered that their asthma “keeps coming back.” Not that their symptoms keep flaring up, that their chronic medical condition hasn’t gone away yet.
I can’t find the exact quote but there’s an episode of House that fits so nicely. He goes off on the parent of an asthmatic toddler- asking if she couldn’t be bothered to pay attention when the pediatrician explained things or was too dumb to understand.
There’s big mattress company that advertises shrilly in Southern California. The spokesman harangues us to replace our mattresses because, as he says, after 8 years our mattresses are infested with dust mites. They then obligingly show an extreme magnification of the critters.
I don’t know if this tactic is working for them, but I always think of them as the company with the buggy mattresses. I would not enter one of their stores for love or money, and I cannot change the channel fast enough when their ads come on TV.
That “Wee wee wee all the way home” GEICO commercial. I’m not sure what annoys me more: The commercial itself or that it seems to be really popular (including here on the board).
Car company spokesman. It’s a dirty job but somebody’s got to do it. 
I saw an ad for this last night, and I laughed so hard.
The AMISH made an ELECTRIC heater?!? Maybe I’m just terribly ignorant, but tell me someone else sees what’s wrong with that.
They actually only make the wood frame, but they really hide that detail on the infomercial. 
Actually, the Amish have no problems making electrical items, they just don’t use them. If an Amish had a job in town as a clerk, he can use the computer/register with no conflict.
Those make us howl, given that we’re smack in the middle of the oldest Amish area in the US. I can pretty much guarantee you that they’re not finishing them inside a barn with all the productive and helpful children in the family aiding them, and they’re not taking them to market on the back of the wagon. The whole ad is really just so blatantly exploiting the connection that it’s roll-on-the-floor hilarious.
It’s like a TV version of a store we have out near the outlets, called “Amish Stuff”. No, really!
State Farm dude is annoying because he just comes on the scene, and he’s like your best friend. Gavin de Becker would warn you to avoid this guy. His gestures annoy me too. He does this thing with his hands where it looks like he’s shaking his hands because he didn’t dry them carefully. And he’s usually butting in on the tail end of an exchange that has nothing to do with him.
And seriously, I’m not going to talk to my neighbor about your insurance!
The new ones where people sing “like a good neighbor, State Farm is there” are annoying too. The one I really hate is the one with the Black couple and the guy says the tagline, and his very attractive girlfriend transforms into a taller, Amazon-esque person that might be a cross-dresser. The point is, the girlfriend is already cute, and a taller, straighter-haired version with ill-fitting shorts is not an upgrade.
Maybe she was just looking for the beef bologna people. Damn.
Most jewelry store commercials piss me off cause what better way to show your love than buying an overpriced bauble… so damn annoying.
Why are all the Cialis couples in two separate tubs? Wouldn’t it be more fun to share one? And what’s so romantic about mundane chores?
