Bud Light – when your commercial contains the line “Now this once in a lifetime event is happening again”, your copywriters really aren’t paying attention.
Well, the fine print on the screen at the beginning of the ad does say “Fictionalization,” so I don’t know what you were expecting.
Damn, I can’t find a link to this commercial, but I see it about six times a day and it always fills me with anger.
It starts out with a nice happy song, and two guys scuba diving above a coral reef. Sweet!
But then: * bang bang bang*. They look at each other and hear it again: bang bang bang.
They look over and see a woman standing in a living room, knocking on the glass of the huge aquarium they’ve been swimming in. Loud and slow, she hollers, “WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR DIN-NER?”
One of them looks around, spots a lobster on a rock, and holds it up for her to see.
She huffs impatiently and leaves the room, saying in an exasperated voice, “Unbelievable.”
It’s a commercial for the Florida Lottery. The first few times I saw it, I merely thought, “What a bitch.” But after repeated viewings I want to hunt that woman down and kill her.
I mean, one, what’s her problem with lobster? Was she expecting the scuba divers to pantomime a desire for meat loaf? Two, if she’s fortunate enough to be married to a lottery winner who can afford to scuba dive in the living room, maybe it would behoove her to get her ass off her shoulders?
When she asks what they want for dinner, I usually say, “A new wife!” or “Your head on a stick!”
I got my head on a stick, sittin’ on a rainbow… 
Or, they’re blitzed on Bud Light. I hear that can happen if you drink twenty-five or thirty of them.
“Clorox knows that, to make a big meal, you have to make a big mess.”
No. No you don’t. I feed around 100 people every day, breakfast and lunch. No big mess.
Frakkin’ amateurs.
I do love the Clorox commercial where the older person is entertaining the children by stringing up raw, whole chickens and making them “dance” on the coffee table. It’s just so freakin’ bizarre.
There’s an antiperspirant commercial that declares, “A woman’s body changes 500 times a day!”
This is how I discover my true, shape-shifter heritage? Do I change into 500 different forms, or just toggle between two settings?
Even if they’re referring to body temperature, the woman shown is a firefighter. If she goes out on a call, the strongest antiperspirant in the world isn’t going to make a difference.
I clean up after our meals all the time and I never use Clorox. Bleach is bleach, anyway.
That’ll teach them to hire Peter Gabriel as a party entertainer.
Is this the one where various amazed individuals describe the Chevy as “boss” or “dope”? What, no one thought it was “groovy” or “gnarly, dude”??? How about “the bee’s knees” or “the cat’s pajamas”??
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
The Honey-Nut Cheerios ad with the bee dancing to Nelly’s Ride With Me.
What does a nutritionally balanced breakfast have to do with smoking a blunt in the back of a Benz?
The bite size Frosted Mini Wheats that have maniacal grins and jump into the cereal bowl and eat other mini wheats just creeps me out. They are mini wheats eating other mini wheats, and grinning like crazy. That’s cannibalism, pure and simple, Kelloggs. Knock it the hell off.
I like Frosted Mini Wheats, but the commercial makes me uneasy about it.
Assuming facts not in evidence.
It could if it’s flammable.
What a swell post!
I’d say the lyrics are pretty clear on that ‘fact’.
If you wanna go and get high wit me
Smoke a L in the back of the Benz-y
Shucks, golly gee, thanks!
There’s a couple different commercials for GTE financial, all about their online banking app. One is a kid who complains that now that his parents bank online he can’t run rampant around the house all the time and now has to do his homework. This brings up a lot of questions;
- Why the hell are his parents at the bank constantly?
- Why did they leave him home alone when they were at the bank all the time?
- How much homework does that kid have that he can never do anything else?
The other commercial is about a dog complaining that his people use the app. This rings very untrue because dogs don’t want to be left alone. Also, how does a dog know his people are at the bank and don’t these people actually work? So wouldn’t they actually be at work more than at the bank? Maybe they rob banks and they just found a way to do it online?
Maybe they are so rich that they go to the bank to wallow in their money Scrooge McDuck-style.
