Why the fuck do you show me commercials of your car doing things that it cannot possibly do - even your disclaimer says “cars cant jump on trains” - so - you’re trying to sell me on the idea that the car is so great that it can get me someplace early by avoiding traffic - and it can’t do it.
That or the woman driver is a maniac with a death wish.
Atleast the Jeep Commercials show the jeep doing something it can do - you know, drive thru snow doing 4x4 things - I don’t even recall a disclaimer about “don’t do this”.
“old spice made a man out of my son” - think they’re trying to get in on the Axe sales with unreal promises to youth about what it takes to get a girl into bed?
You know, because I’m sure that all young women really want to sleep with boys that smell like gramps.
I came here to say exactly this! I want to punch that braying jackass right in the nose. Not only is she obnoxious, but WTF moron thinks a fast food restaurant is NOT open in the daytime?
That was frickin hilarious. I too hate… HATE the car on the train commercial. HATE IT. I hate it because it’s so over the top stupid. It makes me want to picket the ad agency that produced it. It angers me that someone got paid lots of money to suggest this commercial and another to approve and pay for the commercial. And it plays ALL THE TIME.
There’s one running right now that’s a sort of public service message about the importance making sure your overweight child gets some exercise. It features a young boy who is constantly playing on his cell phone, and a grandma who can’t seem to make him get up to do anything.
The kicker? The kid is using a flip phone…and it doesn’t even look like one of the handful of models that’s still on the market. Out-of-touch stuff like that really bugs me for some reason.
Uh, well, that might make sense, if I had any clue the Lincoln was an electric hybrid. But that is conveniently not mentioned. So I’m left with wondering what “gas model” is supposed to mean.
Anyone who would own a farm or ranch with that much mud really would be a doofus to own a truck without four wheel drive (look at the truck’s front wheels when he gets stuck).
I seem to recall that this same ED drug company ran an ad showing a guy pouring refrigerated water into the radiator of an overheating car.
The latest ad that ticks me off is Southwest Airlines, with the “Carpe Vacay”. I lose all respect for mainstream companies when they try to be cool by using the latest catchphrase. And I don’t think “vacay” is even a catchphrase. I’ve heard it on morning talk shows, and Oprah, and that’s it. The opposite of cool.
Domino’s Pizza is running an ad where they tell you to order online because their telephone service is so shitty. “We hire incompetent fucks to answer the phone, so get faster pizza online!”. Hmmm.
Hey, maybe he’s the mysterious 5th Golden Girl, since he’s always hanging out next door to them anyway.
Anyway, I hate this commercial for cars or something, where all the cars have been replaced by 10ft tall infants. Dumb, but I get the point, idiots baby their cars, so come be an idiot with us. But the song that plays is just so damn annoying. If they were cats on a fence I would throw a boot at them.
I also thought that KFC one was bad. Bad enough that even though I only saw it once, and even then only caught a part of it, my immediate reaction was not “OH BOY KFC FOR LUNCH” but rather “wow, I hope whoever came up with that campaign gets fired”.
The Ricola ads are truly obnoxious. Chruterchraft !! I had a fairly positive opinion of the Swiss/Austrian/German culture until these commercials completely destroyed it all
The Honda “I’m-here-to-be-helpful” commercials with the let’s-abuse-the-helpful-Honda-salesman irritate me. Most of all, the animated snow scene commercial with the prima donna pengiun who cons the salesman into diving into ice-cold water. He comes up with a salmon and is almost frozen stiff. She curtly kicks the fish back into the water and says, “I had salmon for breakfast. Go get a snow crab. They’re on the bottom.” I would kick her bottom and propel her into the water and holler, “Go get your OWN damn snow crab!!” :mad:
Apparently I had missed the entire commercial…when they show the kid playing video games, he’s playing a freakin’ Super Nintendo. What rock have these ad people been living under?
TBG, I think the giant baby ad is downright creepy.
