Agree, also. The smug, know-nothing dolts who wonder if the guy will be working on a train make me want to scream. It’s GE, forchrisake! Even if you don’t know anything about GE, you’re an ass for not listening to your friend when he explains about his new job. Who is this ad intended for, and why?
The dogs get in and she gets in but I still say the sled magically disappears and reappears.
And the one where he’s talking to his parents. How did those idiots have a son smart enough to do software development at GE?
It almost seems like they’re being deliberately cruel with his father saying “you can’t pick it up, can you?” and his mother insincerely saying “it’s okay though, you’re going to change the world”.
Dude, get the hell away from them and don’t look back.
I do kinda like the one with the friend who wrote the app to put hats on cats, though. (“I just put a turbine on a cat!”)
Everyone is fawning over the cat hat developer and he can seemingly talk all he wants about his job but when the GE guy tries to get a word in edgewise about what he does he’s angrily told “it’s not a contest”.
The guy needs new friends.
If that woman in the Experian ad put her feet on my desk I would do all in my power to ruin her credit rating.
Look at her wimpy husband:“I know she can be difficult, but I must support her if I expect to get any sex this quarter. She keeps my testicles in a vault somewhere when I am not using them.”
Yes, that is why they put the GPS devices in a position where you can do both.
You watch the road but can take a glance at the GPS device.
Your idea of not having the GPS work when the car is in motion DEFEATS THE ENTIRE PURPOSE of the GPS.
The purpose of the GPS is to show you when to turn while the car is in motion so you will not get lost. It have audio clues as well as visual. I take it you would prefer to stop and pull over every 500 feet when you are close to your exit?
As far as distracting the driver goes, do you ever drive wit ha passenger? That is more distracting than a GPS. You spend more time looking at them then you would a GPS.
Some of the commercials I hate (and a few have been mentioned) is the
Experian add with the woman who puts her feet on the desk.
The State farm with the woman who got a perfect score but her guy says men are better drivers. She may be a great driver but his assessment is that men in general would be better.
A radio commercial for Sam Adams where a guy says “it is smooth but it does have flavor” The use of the word “but” here is supposed to mean a contradiction. “He is short BUT can dunk a basketball.” “He is not athletic BUT is a good dancer”
This past year was this one: http://www.ispot.tv/ad/75Pq/buick-black-friday-sales-event-black-eye
My problem with it is that the guy that bought the vehicle saves 8k but spent 32k one one thing while the guy with the black eye got things that everyone can use.
Panera Bread. “clean pairings” soup and sandwiches, one of those maddening mini-movies or slices of life where you’re watching shiney happy people with a lot more friends and relatives than you have ever had in your entire life (a la Olive Garden jolly reunions) and you are forced to sit there watching the kumbaya and “inside jokes” - and marvel that ‘Dan is back’!! WTF?
Yeah. And “clean pairings” is odd-sounding, even in an advertising world full of similarly meaningless phrases. (So your competitors sell UNclean pairings, Panera? Is that your claim?)
It makes it sound like Panera is either against miscegenation or for ethnic cleansing. :eek:
Ha! If either were the case, their clientele would plotz.
I kept seeing the phrase “puppy monkey baby” somewhere or other in online articles about Super Bowl commercials. I didn’t understand what the phrase meant, so I Googled up the commercial.
Eeee-yuck! Anything that thing touched would get thrown away from me as far as possible. And I like pugs, too.
Who at Vermont Teddy Bear Company decided that what a woman really needs for Valentine’s Day is a 4-foot teddy bear??
Also, what kind of woman puts up with a man who thinks it’s romantic to present her with a Pandora bracelet in a hollowed-out book? :mad:
teela brown, yeah, that was total fail for me. I didn’t commit to memory what the product was, I was too busy trying to figure out what the fuck I was seeing, and decypher “puppy monkey baby”. And then reeling in ick.
I thought nothing could be worse than the hoofing heifer jiggling her bits everywhere while warbling on about how “Christmas doesn’t happen” without her. I was wrong.
In the running …
1 . Lil’ Wayne taking champagne normal people drink (or christian their boats with) and cell phones normal people use to stay in touch, and making a mess both as if to underscore that even if you give a thug nice things, they still don’t know what to do with them. A ringing endorsement of their culture (or lack thereof), for sure. Yeah, 'cause everyone spends their downtime pouring expensive champagne on their phones while leaving a sticky mess for someone else to clean up later like it’s totally normal.
2 . The women with the V-Jay swaggers, prancing about as if they finally found and cleaned their formerly unwashed cooters for the very first time, ever.
3 . The creepy dead-eyed box-faced auto-tuned Sketchers chick. I will officially never buy Sketchers.
Did anyone mention the old bitch that had to re-use old catheters? It runs on the shut-in channels, Hallmark and our local digi-net. She wants you to know they have self-lubricating options that no longer burn! I have to mute or turn that every time. Sad thing is, those are my “safe” channels that I leave on overnight while I’m sleeping, so I don’t wake up to some stupid crap in the middle of the night. Too bad the commercials are so objectionable (they are also rife with trans-vaginal mesh lawsuits ads), as well as the thrice-repeated relacore belly-fat ads.
The one I’m hating right now is for (I think–I keep blocking it out) LG phones? Some Android cell phone. The one with the creepy bearded guy whose face is on everybody in the commercial. It starts out in a subway car, and eventually he ends up standing astride a couple of bulls in a “running of the bulls” thing. I don’t know if I’m supposed to know who he is, but I don’t, so I just find him annoying and the commercial thoroughly moronic. The music’s annoying too.
Okay, I hunted it down. Here it is.
A irritating one is for some pretzel company with a horrible woman who looks like a death camp commandant’s wife. I sure as hell would’t buy anything she endorsed.
She *is *scary and creepy.:eek:
