There’s a new Lowe’s commercial where a couple is getting a new kitchen. Although it appears functional, the kitchen must be wiped from the earth. Instead of using crowbars to remove old cabinets, they use sledgehammers. Those morons don’t have a garage that needs shelving? Or maybe they just love splinters and extra labor.
The one that’s been driving me nuts recently has Jeff Bridges (I think?) talking about Olympic “athaletes”. Something about hearing the word “athalete” is like nails on a chalkboard to me. (Actually, nails on a chalkboard don’t bother me, but metaphorically speaking…)
God yes, the “athalete” commercial. Don’t know if there’s more than one, but I think the one I keep hearing is voiced by Morgan Freeman.
Woo! Fish!
Am I the only one plagued by Dreamlite and it’s godawful jingle? Please, someone tell me this isn’t a hellish vision only I can see.
One of the home monitoring commercials has a woman talking about the time she was alone and fell. She spent the time on the floor imagining her daughter and grandchildren being forced to live without her.
To paraphrase Homer Simpson, “No child should outlive his parents!”
You have never heard of shotgunning a beer?
They are simple taking advantage of a market that already exists. The binge drinking market; 18-25 year olds.
Wide mouth cans, vortex bottles, flavored vodka. The way to make money peddling liquor is not to advertise it to old people, but to sell it to kids.
I call it the Jager effect 
The other silly thing about this ad is the bowl of grapes that she conveniently scatters within arm’s reach while falling. Yay, sustenance!
There was a commercial for a dustbuster-type appliance a while back… maybe it was the Dustbuster. There are some women sitting around a table with a bowl of popcorn. Some of the popcorn spills on the table and the hostess runs for the Dustbuster to vacuum it up!! At my house, we pick up the popcorn from the table (or floor, if it’s been there fewer than 2 seconds) and EAT IT.
Of course, maybe the hostess’s child had been working on his e coli science experiment on that table last night, so she didn’t want to take a chance?
Angies List.
That one woman, who is “Busy busy busy busy”. I can’t stand that line and her smug look. “Oh Angie, I have her on speed dial”.
WTF? A website that you have to call? I’ve never actually looked at Angie’s List, but if I have to call them, fuggetaboutit.
There’s this commercial for a stop-smoking aid that apparently causes the user to hallucinate that there’s a tiny funk band performing right next to him or her. Isn’t it difficult enough to quit smoking without giving yourself hallucinations?
Every single ad that’s running for **any **political candidate right now.
Not sure if it’s a national ad, but we have one now that’s for a website (or service or whatever) that will buy back your old cell phone. The pitch man is a smarmy idiot that makes you feel like you need to take a shower after watching the commercial.
Life Alert
I agree BUT…the one with Romney singing “God Bless America” (it’s an Obama commercial) is pretty awesome.
All the others, even the Obama ones, can go to hell.
Lovely, I was wondering where it was.
Pretty much - add in the baby stockmarket ads.
Mark Jacobson Toyota has started running on that is a cacophony of voices saying “shop shop shop shop shop shop shop shop”. I haven’t made it all the way through the thing yet, so I’m not really sure if it’s supposed to have a point.
Sonic, FTW!
I found the one I’m thinking of. It’s a Duracell commercial.
“There are ath-a-letes everywhere who trust Duracell.”
The thing that pisses me off the most about this commercial is that Kit Kats don’t make that sound! Kit Kats hardly make any sound when you break them apart. They’re lying!
I saw an ad for marshmallow flavored vodka, and thought, huh, they’re marketing to 8 year olds now.
