I hate the commercial in which multiple women are walking around on a city street in their black underpants. I couldn’t tell you the brand, because I always change channels to avoid seeing it. I suppose they’re a new kind of anti-peeing-in-your-pants brand.
Oh, THAT Hannah Davis! From the barely-wearing-anything Sports Illustrated cover. I guess there’s not much left to see.
Maybe because the Rob Lowe commercials were a pack of lies. Shame because I loved those commercials.
Expect a line…
Am I the only one who sees the “Jake from State Farm” commercial and wonders why the woman doesn’t flip out at the end because her husband is clearly having phone sex with another guy. I thought that they were going to address it in the sequel where they go to therapy but they just keep ignoring the big gay elephant in the room.
How about the State Farm one where the guy is shown saying “I’ll never do that [date, get married, have kids, move to the suburbs, buy a minivan]”, only to be shown doing that exact thing in the next scene. The commercial ends with him looking at his sleeping family and saying, “I’m never letting go.” By the logic of this ad, he’s either about to slaughter them or file for divorce.
I like that State Farm commercial; it’s kind of sweet.
Edited to add, here it is.
I just don’t like the Verizon Mother’s Day campaign. Especially since I had to sit through the same damned commercial ten times while watching iZombie and The Flash online. There are at least four versions of this ad, but I had to see the exact same version ten times in the course of watching two shows. C’mon, can’t they mix it up?
I wonder why he’s on the phone at 3 in the morning talking to his insurance company. Couldn’t it wait until business hours?
I like the ad, it is indeed kinda sweet. But, I have had the exact same reaction to the last line. It should just show the sleeping family and fade to black.
The one where people are oohing over how the vehicle they’re looking at is just as luxurious as a Lexus or a Mercedes and then act all surprised and shocked that it’s a Chevy. You mean you couldn’t tell from all the GM badging all over the fucking thing? It’s right on the steering wheel for cripes sake.
Yes. A million times yes. I hate that commercial so much. I would actively not buy a Ford pickup truck even if I needed one, just because of that commercial.
I love my Verizon service. But I despise the new Verizon ads so much I am thinking of switching.
I don’t know if this has been mentioned, but Comcast has appropriated the Brady Bunch song “It’s a Sunshine Day" in one of their ads. I hate that song and I always have. When I hear it I want to cancel Comcast. Problem is that I live in BFE, and Comcast is my only HD option.
I only watch five TV shows, and I watch them online, the day after they air. Three shows on The CW (iZombie, Arrow, and The Flash); one on FOX (Gotham), and one on NBC (The Blacklist).
Just this week, I have been forced to watch the exact same Verizon commercial more than 20 times. It’s not a “bad” commercial, it’s a “lame” commercial. It’s the one with the two brunettes talking about their husbands giving them a Samsung Galaxy S6 for their birthdays, and they call their mothers. What makes me hate that commercial is the fact that there are at least three other commercials in the same campaign, and yet I’ve been served up this one particular version of the commercial over 20 times over the course of four 1-hour shows (FOX lets me watch Gotham with my ad-blocker on; CW and NBC won’t show me anything with my ad-blocker on).
Energizer Eco-Advanced batteries: Kid is working on a box that “takes old things and makes them new”. So they shove an old tired kid’s truck in and an ATV comes out. They shove in a plastic dinosaur and out comes an apatosaurus that starts browsing in the back yard. So…the eco-advanced innovation --it’s got to be super damned cool, yes? And it sorta is. Batteries made from recycled materials. Yeah for the environment!
Then the asterisk. Batteries are made from 4% recycled materials. Um…meh?
Don’t get me wrong, I applaud what Energizer is doing in at least trying to recycle their batteries, and a little research indicates that they’re trying to increase that percentage to up to 40% over time. But…4 percent? Let’s just say that the magic box that makes dinosaurs is overselling things just a tad.
Yep. I mean- 40%, sure. But 4%?
With one front tooth missing she would be Alfred E. Neuman’s long-lost sister.
With your WHAT??!
I hate the miserable castrato who sings falsetto in the Doctor Pepper commercials. I don’t know where your testicles are, but see if you can’t locate them and have them surgically reattached, will you?
Falsetto. Jeez!
