I personally can’t stand the Juicy Fruit ad with the CPR dummy stealing the guy’s gum. That creepy plastic homunculus just gives me the willies…
There are so many
-There is a MTV commercial against censorship. A guy gets in his car, anxiously rips open the cd package and puts it in. It’s a rap song, but with every other word bleeped out. Then some message about censorship being bad. Wait one second! Isn’t that exactly what you do, MTV? Not only do you censor the shit out of songs, but you put mosaic over things? Because it’s offensive? NO. Because it’s controversial? NO. Because you don’t want anyone getting exposure without paying up!

The McDonald chicken strips commercial. Apparently targeted toward creepy cubicle workers who likes to talk to themselves. Chicken strips and mental illness, talk about marketing synergy!

‘People acting like jerks’ commercials. There is some beer commercial about three guys playing golf inside the office. Basically they act like asshats. A golf balls break windows and another breaks a carafe full of coffee while he’s trying to pour a cup. Why they don’t get their asses kicked, I have no idea
I’m with you. When the old lady starts off with, “What this family needs to do is…” I say “…hit Granny over the head, bury her in the backyard, and keep on cashing her Social Security checks.” Of course that part may just be me. 
Any of the penis-enlarger pill ads are beyond tasteless.
Let’s see, there’s one with a breathy blond telling you you MUST take this pill–manipulation at its most blatant; there’s the Enzyte ones with the guy with the goofy grin, you wish to hit him hard; there’s the one in the deli with the Guido-type guy saying “Size does matter” (how would you know? Spend any time in prison?) as he puts a salami loaf into the meat cutter, no subliminal advertising there, no sir.
Besides, none of those pills work.
I’ve not seen the commercial but if the family’s name is Walton, I suppose it could be technically true. 
And I just remembered another commercial that I hate – the “Be Frank” commercials from Ballpark Franks where some middle aged, whitebread asshole rants about anything and everything that doesn’t meet to his approval and then somehow segues into shilling hot dogs. What the hell? Why would anyone be swayed by this?
I’m betting Frank stays drunk on the weekends and beats his wife and kids.
I pretty much despise commercials using any medium. The TV ads that drive me nuts are the ones that “flicker” the screen. Many times I sit at my PC and have the TV on as background entertainment. I usually have a sports program or a nature show on. But when these damn TV ads with their flickering screen tactics come on, it just drives me nuts. I think they might have made some regulation ruling on them, I have seen less and less of them recently, and that’s just fine with me.
That’s what I’m thinking. Have you seen the commercial where one of his friends asks him which hot dog is which and after biting the end off one to make sure it was the right one, gives it to him? And then stares his friend down, practically begging him to make an issue of it?
I’d pound the guy’s head into the still flaming grill if he tried that with me.
I despise the Pringles chip ads with the smug little bratgirl “competing” with the guy with the bag of chips. I just want to punch her in the face.
Also, those slef-righteous anti-drug ads. If those ever stopped anyone from becoming a crackwhore, who wasn’t going to be one anyway, I will eat my hat.
I think what really pissed me off about the DQ commercials is that the humor is so much inferior to the great “preference survey” commercials. For instance, there was once a Quiznos ad where a scientist asks a guy to choose between a Quiznos sub and a generic sub. When he reaches for the Quiznos sub, the scientists shoots a tranquilizer dart at him and then rearranges his hands to make it look like he was reaching the other way.
Background voice: “The only way to beat a Quiznos sub is to cheat.”
Now that’s funny. By comparison, the DQ ad has a very lowly place in the commercial pantheon.
Can’t think of the name of the company right now, but the commercial is for a credit repair or debt consolidation company. At the beginning there are three or four people describing how they just didn’t know what to do, how their debt was causing them great mental anguish, etc. One woman says something like, “I was on edge all the time and snapping at people…”
At the end everyone tells how much better life is now that they have signed up for this company’s service. This same woman says, “… I’m not snapping at people anymore…” But not exactly.
She emphasizes the wrong word and it drives me nuts. Instead of “I’m not snapping at people anymore” - it comes out " I’m not snapping at people anymore".
So what, now you’re only snapping at grasshoppers and stop signs??? I’ve seriously considered calling the number and telling them that its wrong.
Does anyone know if that goth chick and the preppy blonde have made a porno together? Thanks in advance.
