Hopefully not at the same time.
The dating ads that were showing up on my Facebook page for a while were really cracking me up. I was seeing two types of ads that just made me /facepalm:
An “Over-40” dating site telling me that they could hook me up with over-40 single women … while the photo accompanying the ad was clearly of an 18-23-year-old woman. And one time, the girl in the photo didn’t look a day over 16.
Then there were the “Christian Dating” ads that had photos of large-breasted women showing plenty of cleavage. One photo was of a woman in lingerie, sitting with her legs spread.
In both cases, it was like there was some script randomly searching the Web and attaching photos of women to the ads with no attempt to make the photos actually match the ads.
This is a ad that airs in Trinidad on TV so probably no one else has seen it but it drives me nuts!
It is for White Oak brand rum, so a crowd of people is standing around when a cargo plane flies overhead and dumps millions of gallons of White Oak rum on them which causes attractive young women to dance around in joy in their wet shirts.
I’m sorry but if someone dumps rum on me from the air I will be in incredible pain as it burns the hell out of my eyes and nose.:smack:
Did YOU ever have to do that? I used to work with a professional carpenter and you should have* seen* the stuff we used to knock down walls! :eek:
<bolding mine>
Hell yes. I can’t think of a commercial that irritates me more than the latest one with the pig at the football game. Why’d they have to make the piggy such an overwhelmingly obnoxious douchehog? I used to think he was so cute, with his wee pinwheels and his cute little piggy squeal and then they had to turn him into a frat boy? What the fuck is up with that annoying way he talks: “well, uh, I liked to disagree, but uh, that’d make me, uh, a liar”. Grrrrrrrrrrrr. It doesn’t help that he’s so absorbed with his phone while at a football game. I know the point is that you can manage your policy from your phone but it just adds to his overall unlikability.
Also, the new Wendy’s chick gets on my last nerve, and I’m not sure why.
There’s one for an insurance company that talks about the trouble with people is that they’re people. It then shows a neighbor cutting a tree limb onto a car in the driveway, a truck that takes off a door just before the lady is going to get out, a car on the freeway behind another car with a mattress (IIRC). The implication is because of these jackholes, my insurance needs to be great. Huh?! If you drop half of a tree (that’s overhanging my property no less) onto my car or you run into me, it’s YOU who will need the great insurance or I’ll be seeing you in court.
And then there’s the one where the woman says she found out from the census records that her ancestor was the only doctor in his town. How did the census records show her that? Did she look at every single person’s entry in the census for that town to see if their occupation was doctor? The census wouldn’t say the ancestor’s occupation was “only doctor in town”.
:smack:
The point is that Xarelto replaces Coumadin/Warfarin. When you’re on Coumadin, you have to repeatedly have blood tests done to see how the product’s clotting factor is working, and the doctor has to adjust the amount of the product you take. With Xarelto, and other products like it, you don’t have to be chained down to the house/hospital and keep having the tests done.
I agree. Except that the pig DOES get all manner of hot human women lusting after him, so maybe he’s doing it right?
It’s his pork loins.
There’s a new one for e-Harmony where Warren’s granddaughter is telling him about how, “My teacher is wooking for dates on-wine, but he’s not oosing e-Hahmony.” She then lisps about how teacher’s bound to fail (and presumably die “awone and unwuved”) because he’s using inferior sites.
My immediate reaction:
-
Why the hell is a teacher telling his young students, about his attempts to find a relationship? Does he have serious boundary issues?
-
Why isn’t this child seeing a speech therapist?
The redhead? Eating a chicken sandwich is the very least I would do for that woman.
Yes, I’m aware that this is the most obvious straight line in the history of this board.
Did anyone see the one for Old Spice with the mothers spying on their sons? <shudder>
I fuckin’ hate the commercials where people deliberately destroy their cell phones or laptops in order to get new ones.
Every family’s different, I suppose. In my case, both grandmothers lived at least into my college years and I did learn quite a bit about the times they grew up in. I asked many questions which were gladly answered. Although one of my grandfathers died when I was seven and the other a decade before my birth, I knew a lot about them, too. Then again, ours was the kind of house that has a lot of pictures and other mementos, so the subject tended to come up.
(Not exactly about a commercial, but product directions. I hope it’s not too tangential for this thread.)
I have to use denture cleaner to maintain this retainer-like device I wear at night, to treat my sleep apnea. When I first started doing this I noticed the instructions on one brand of denture cleaner says to dissolve the tablet “in very warm (but not hot!) water”.
What the hell does “very warm (but not hot!)” even mean? I’m pretty sure it means that boiling water from the teakettle is right out, but beyond that I’m vague.
The thing that irritates me are commercials for credit cards, where they show the card being swiped so that you can see the card right-side up. That’s not where the magnetic strip is! They should show the cashier saying “uh, the strip is on the top, you need to put it in upside-down. Sir, that isn’t going to work. Sir, you are doing it wrong.”
Hey, don’t be talkin’ smack about the future Mrs. Kimballkid!!
Even though she doesn’t know I exist, that’s a minor obstacle.
The Toyota commercial where the Dad is at the dealership with his son. He talks about how much he loved the new Tundra he bought last year so he is giving it to his son and getting a brand new one this year. The son say something like “cool, do I get the boat too” and the adults laugh at him like he’s an idiot.
You just gave your son a one year old 40,000 dollar pick-up truck and now your laughing at him for asking for a boat???
I saw her first. Back, you jackal, back!
Since he used another site, the kid says ‘I told him it’ll never work out!’, Warren of course laughingly says she shouldn’t have said that. (wink wink). Then she says ‘I told him all the hotties are at e-harmony.’ which of course Warren replies that he never said that. (nudge nudge) Ugh, I hate that commercial.
