Technically, she’s a manager (per previous commercial where some guy asks to speak to a manager).
I guess she might be a manager making minimum wage. Wow, that would suck.
A) she likely would be on commission. Most wireless sales reps are.
B) many retail workers would, if approached by a customer, discuss something with a customer similar to what happens in this commercial. IIRC she is wearing a shirt with the company logo on it. On duty or on break, she is representing the company.
C). Lilly is cute, so there.
Hey, Dodge? Shaddap about yer fukken Dart already!
Radio commercial for Cricket phones has a mother calling her youngish daughter.
“Just wanted to check if you remembered your phone”
“Of course mom, you’re talking to me on it!”
(embarrassed laugh) “Oh yeah, right…”
Erm, isn’t that how checking to see if someone has their phone works? You call them and see if they answer? Why the embarrassed “Mom’s so not with it” laugh?
The fiat commercials I have been seeing lately are dumb.
Yeah, even the original Dart was nothing special. A poor man’s muscle car, if it had a 340; a box on wheels that couldn’t get out of its own way if it had the 6. Dodge doesn’t even “get” the Charger - come on, evoking the legacy of the original Charger with a four-door? No muscle car ever had four doors.
At least they got the Challenger right.
What is Paris Hilton supposed to be in that hamburger commercial? Leather lesbian, hooker, stripper? All of the above?
That was a hamburger commercial?
Huh. Never noticed.
(Seriously - that’s not slack jawed guy “humor”. I saw the “hot babes” and tuned out. Figured whatever it was that needed that to sell it probably wasn’t anything I’d be interested in. Turned out I was half right - I like Carl’s JR burgers, but that ones doesn’t look appealing.)
Finagle: I HATE her murdering of “Next to be with you”. I volunteer to hold her down while Mr Big kicks her ass.
There’s a GEICO commercial I FINALLY get: when the guy rides off on the horse, and the letter in End knocks him off the horse. Mind numbingly stupid!!3
How about that jerk who has festooned his home with ads for Crestor–which is supposed to be a prescription drug? I mean, this guy may appreciate Crestor, but he sure overdoes it!
Along with everything else awful about that commercial - I love the song “I Love Paris” (here it is sung by Ella Fitzgerald). I hate that they used the song and changed the lyrics for a soft core porn hamburger commercial.
Who is the other girl?
Not to mention that fugly front clip, which has somehow manged to infect virtually their entire product line.
Most of the progressive commercials I don’t like as well
There is currently a beer commercial ( i think miller lite), where the voiceover says something like: “hey guys, miller lite has less calories, which means no beer gut, which means you’ll be more attractive to the ladies…”
i mean, i don’t feel strongly enough about it to say i’m “offended”, but i have to believe that if the gender rolls were reversed in the advert, it would be big time news and there would be lots of discussion about what a terrible sexist commercial it is.
The current one is the worst. Jan is answering several phones at once and talking to the callers simultaneously. At the end, she puts the phone handsets together and cries, “Tell ‘em Jan sent ya!” So…your customers are talking to each other now? And they’re telling each other Jan sent them? Why?
Five more months of DirecTV’s SuperAssholes.
Flipping thru the channel, sound off, and saw this commercialfor toy foot baths for girls so they could pretend to be at a spa. Seems so crazy I thought it must be a spoof commercial, but apparently the product is real, and just in time for Christmas. When I see shit like this, I always wonder how making these things changes the Chinese drone workers’ perception of the US.
Berocca: this cannot be a real product and a real commercial. This has got to be a parody ad. A spoof on crazy “health” products? An experiment on advertising agency gullibility?
It seems to be a Bayer product, and also appears to be little more than a bog-standard energy drink in effervescent tablet form:
