More very hate-able commercials

Here it is:

It’s Jar Jar Stinks!

The one I hate is the insurance ad where they are sitting around the table and recognize a TV ad with Flo, and all the people at the table are played by Flo. I don’t get the point of the ad, either.

Doesn’t he want the word “evoke”, not “invoke”? Invoke is something quite a bit different.

I believe the guy you’re referring to is Chaz Dean, the creator of Wen.

That’s because Wen doesn’t get your hair clean. I tried it, it doesn’t produce any suds, and does not clean your hair. That’s their spiel, that the models haven’t shampooed their hair in years. Because Wen is not shampoo.

Aww, that little bladder is adorable. Something about its eyes.

:wink:

It’s supposed to clean your hair, but not overly clean it. Don’t strip all the oils.

:open_mouth: Is the mouth meant to be the anus???

The bladder is somewhat endearing…I think it’s the way it’s always tugging on the lady’s hand, kind of like a little child.

They were definitely going for the cute turtle look…but that mouth…at least the bladder’s mouth doesn’t correspond to actual human anatomy.

This. Then you wouldn’t kill someone else on the road, the way my father died.

My new truck has this feature in the radio -

It

a) alerts me that I have a new text message - from who it is, etc
b) if the truck is in motion - it wont allow me to read it - but it only tells me that if I click the button to go read it while the truck is in motion.
c) I can set auto-responders - like “I’m busy driving, I;ll respond later” - which, you know, really isn’t very helpful - the person already knows I’ll respond “later”.

I have yet to figure out -

If they know the truck is in motion - and therefore I can’t respond to it - why not just say “you have a text message from … to read it, the vehicle must be stopped” - or bettter yet - DONT ALERT ME AT ALL until the truck is stopped.

Its literally one of the most stupid features - similar to the GPS stuff - I can pick from pre-determined addresses while the truck is moving - and lots of other options - but I can’t use the address entry - because, you know - I never have a passenger with me that might want to type.

Then there’s the Phillips commercials with the frenzied woman in a blue T-shirt barging into breakroom conversations or taking over a tour-bus-like vehicle to interrogate strangers about their bowels and shove the product at everyone. HATE HATE HATE those commercials.

I also generally hate Carl’s Jr., whose ad people seem to specialize in disgusting. If they’re not enthusing over how messy their food is, they have Paris Hilton sleazing her way around (a hard-partier who has a significant percentage of your audience wondering how many different STDs she has currently is probably not a great spokesperson for FOOD).

To Simster:
I think that a GPS itself should not function if the vehicle is moving, either.

That’s of no use to me, and would be a dealbreaker if I was buying a new phone. That’s probably why manufacturers don’t do that.

well… there’s a lot of things you seem to think that are purely idiotic in nature, so we’ll just add this to the list.

You do know what GPS is used for, right?

Yes, I do, and for a purely practical reason: so the driver won’t watch movement on the screen instead of keeping eyes on the road!

The older girl from Modern family for Dominos saying that she sent her sister a pizza emoji and her sister texted back some silly photo and likewise for her brother. What did she think would happen? “Oh crap, my sister needs pizza!”? Also, you’re on a successful TV show – buy your own damn pizza.

There is a dating website called “Farmers Only” which, I guess shouldn’t be surprising, features only women of the Caucasian persuasion. Every time I see it, I just think of the scene from Blazing Saddles.

“Hey where the white women at?”

I came in here to mention that very commercial. Every time it comes on, I yell, “EAT A FRIKKIN’ SALAD!” at the TV. (Because “eat some frikkin’ chili!” doesn’t have the same effect.)

Most Americans taking opioids, it seems, would rather take another pill than change their diets.

This rant does not apply to those people taking opioids because of a major illness, and who are unable to move around or eat much. YMMV. IANAL BBQ. IANAD.

Would you please explain those abbreviations (except for BBQ)?

I am not a doctor. I am not a lawyer. Your mileage may vary.

Thanx :slight_smile:
