Fucking Dove moisturizing commercial (very lame; please share your own infuriating commercials)

2. The shamwow commercial. 'Buy a shamwow because you’re going to spend 20 dollars a month on paper towels anyway!" Who in hell spends 20 bucks a month on paper towels? I doubt we’ve spent that in the last 3 years.

Not that the ShamWow is good or anything, but my parents have three puppies, and they spend about $15 to $18 on paper towels every week.

I hate the go daddy ad where some presumably hot chick is pulled over by a presumably hot police chick who then identifies her as the go daddy girl, whatever that is. Says the police chick:

I love go daddy domain names!

And it looks for a moment like she might be having multiple orgasms while licking her lips and fantasizing about domain names that reside with a particular internet domain registrar. But then again who doesn’t get wet thinking about that?

She then starts ripping off her clothes and the commercial abruptly ends, suggesting that you go to the go daddy web site to see what happens next.

Hey everybody, come see some hot girl-on-girl action so that go daddy dot com can get a page hit!

That’s like two rolls of paper towels per day. Picking up dog doots must be a full time job at mom & dad’s place.

Put me in the pro AT&T Rollover Mom camp too. Mom wins over snarky teenagers every time. But what really got me liking the series is the latest commercial, where the Dad wastes minutes by giving them to the dog. When Rollover Mom finds sees this she gasp doesn’t act bitchy to her husband. In fact she is pretty sweet towards him. Finally a commercial in which a woman seems to actually love and respect her husband. She actually behaves differently towards him than she does her children. We know she is capable of complete full-on bitch mode, yet she exhibits restraint when interacting with her husband, even when she is upset with his behavior.

My most hated commercials right now are the Toyota spots with that faux-folksy version of Let Your Love Flow and the cheery-cheeked enthusiastic white people prancing around in asparagus costumes worshiping a Prius. Its all so nauseatingly twee and cutesy and smug. I think the Prius is a fine car, but goddamn that commercial makes me want to punch the teeth out of anyone who owns one, just by guilt through association.

Maybe it got to me so bad because I had to watch it every ten minutes while watching a season’s worth of TV shows on Hulu.

Ah yes the Hulu commercials.

I do not receive any TV signals (antenna or cable) since January and I just found Hulu.

I was subjected to two Brooke Shields commercials:

one telling me over and over and . . . about how to get thicker longer lashes WITH A PRESCRIPTION!

one about toothpaste (ha ha I forgot the brand.)

I did not have any opinion about Brooke prior to the commercial but now I want to smash her face in.

Also from memories of TV I dislike:

the old plastic looking faced man who wants me to go to 6Flags while dancing about to some music dynamite would not get out of my head.

any commercial about feminine products.

any commercial with some hotty laying on a bed just about to make a call to a “friends line” “cause thats where all the best guys are.”

Ditto everyone on the bears using TP

My current most hated commercial is for some credit card or another.

You’ve got your run-of-the-mill hottie commercial wife flouncing into the living room wearing some fancy-schmancy dress. She models it for her run-of-the-mill doofus commercial husband who is duly impressed and he goes off on a flight of fancy about where he could sweep his wife off to and where they should spend all the credit card points they’ve collected … Florence? Rome? Venice? Where should we go honey?

As it turns out, they can’t use their points for a European vacation, because sweet-ums has spent it all on a dress. At this point the husband smiles. The end. Use our credit card.

On what effing planet is this going on? Because here on earth, hubby is still yelling, sweet-ums is filing for restraining orders, and there’s $3,000 dress in shreds hanging from a back yard tree.

Beat me to it. My jaw hit the floor.

I don’t really mind the Bush Baked Beans with Duke the Dog; I don’t buy canned beans, but I’m a sucker for dogs, and so I think they’re kind of cute, really. But this latest one, they’ve got Duke at a college football game interviewing tailgaters about what kind of baked beans they’re eating, and in the background is a faint marching band to make it sound ever so collegiate. And what is the band playing? On, Wisconsin? Across the Field? Tiger Rag?

Why, no! It’s Gesù Bambino, an Italian Christmas carol.

What the fuck?

Sounds like they’re feeding the puppies too much laxative. Cut it out!

The one where celebs are handing an iphone or something around, and it changes to suit each celeb. Yeah, knowing Whoopi’s background is her as Dracula is really gonna make me want to buy one…

It’s the world’s least convincing commercial too because this product is supposedly all personal and made for them, like they can’t live without it, and yet each one handles it like the first time they’ve ever touched it and it’s made of unicorn tears and costs a hundred trillion dollars. They glance furtively at the camera like “Now? Ok - this? Pass it…now? Ok, PHEW now it’s THEIR problem.”

There’s a Levi’s commercial that I’ve seen twice now that scares the living crap out of me.

It’s got weird, scratchy music, shaky camera work on black-and-white film, and subtitles scrawled across the bottom by someone who can barely hold a pen. The first time I saw it I thought it was for some dystopian, post-apocalyptic horror movie and then the “Levi’s” logo appeared. It doesn’t make me want to buy jeans. It makes me want to crawl into a concrete bunker until the radiation levels go down.

I’m obviously not their target audience.

It’s Walt Whitman reading from his poem “America,” the recording of which was apparently preserved on wax cylinder. I think that part’s cool as hell, but I agree that the commercial itself sucks.
