And where did you FIND those lyrics?
A suggestion: I’ve noticed when watching shows online or on demand, if you wait a little longer than just one day, some of the commercials drop out of the video stream. I guess some of the advertisers pay for a specific placement within a specific time frame. I’m sure it’s not that way with all shows, but at least some of them you can avoid the commercials if you exercise a little patience (or if you’re too busy to hop on a show the day after first airing). Hope this helps lessen the suffering out there.
What’s the deal with the commercials that repeat a tag line over and over? “Why would you say that? Why would you say that? Why would you say that?” from an office supply store and “Get it, use it! Get it, use it! Get it, use it!” from a travel site. It just makes me lunge for the remote.
Ugh, they’ve recently brought that damn giant baby (that’s really a car) back.
The first one is because she’s wired on caffeine which led to the suggestion of decaf.
Yeah, that’s actually pretty funny.
Sorry if this one’s been hated on already, but I’m not going back through the whole thread.
That Captain Obvious guy, the bearded one in headphones in a gym, creeps me the hell out. I don’t know what he’s selling, because I usually have commercials muted, but I’m not buying it whatever it is.
Some Milky Way candy bar commercial has people screwing up their job (painting highway lane lines, giving a tattoo, etc) and responding to the criticism with an exasperated “I was eating a Milky Way!” (Hey, there’s at least two of them)
Milky Way: The candy bar that makes you an incompetent asshole.
Actually, I like that commercial, because I understand the feeling of viewing the car as one’s baby.
This new Poise commercial just moved to the top of my Most Hated list.
Pee pads … period pads… I know, let’s have an arts and crafts challenge! WHO WRITES THIS STUFF?
I have to wonder if the symbolism in the Koch ad I just saw during Face The Nation was subconscious.
“Every day you’re getting it done” the image is a woman literally spinning her wheels on an exercise bike.
And “American worker” seemed associated with toilet paper coming off the line.
Yeah, I dont get it. :dubious:
Okay, that made me laugh out loud. I don’t care who you are, that’s funny, right there. 
St. Jude Children’s Hospital has a donation commercial that starts out with a narrator asking, “How would you feel if your doctor told you your child had cancer?” The first time my son heard this he asked, “How the hell does my doctor know my kid has cancer? 'Your prostrate is fine, Mr. Bigboy, but I can feel your son has leukemia.”
Neither do I; years ago Milky Way had a commercial with a rural telephone operator. The only thing bright about her was her eyes, which shone as if they were electrified. “What do they all want to talk about?” she said cluelessly.
Actually, the use of pads and tampons as craft items has been around a long time. I always assumed (hoped?) it was meant as a joke though.
Oh! I do like the one where the employee wants to know the appropriate microwave cooking time for fish (specifically, I think it was cod). Nothing can clear out a break room faster…
Wanna bet? I once overcooked popcorn! Think about it! :eek:
I’ve smelled overcooked popcorn…specifically, overcooked artificial butter-flavored popcorn. It’s a whiff of fresh air compared to microwaved fish.
Artificial butter popcorn smells like pee to me…
Hear, hear! I saw that and said to my husband, “Donner Party Mini-Wheats?” It’s weird enough that someone thought that commercial up, but even weirder that someone, somewhere along the way, didn’t say, “Ya know, this may not be the best way to advertise our product…”
