More very hate-able commercials

Wow, what a ripoff. I actually like the PooPourri commercials - I think it’s the combination of sly humor and the “veddy proper” British spokeswoman. These are just cheap knockoffs of exactly the same schtick, minus the Brit.

One that still makes me wax wroth even though it’s from years ago is the one where the kid sneaks up on his mom and sprays her with a shaken two-liter bottle of soda… and they have a nice giggly squirt fight with the soda and the sink sprayer until she lovingly dabs off his nose with a paper towel.

So, soda all over her, him, the floor, the counter, the walls, the cupboards, the small appliances and god knows what else… yeah, you’re gonna need more than a paper towel unless you just want to leave a layer of sticky smear all over your whole kitchen.

I don’t care what food product Two Stupid Dudes are yakking about (usually burgers or related fast food), I am muting/changing the channel and resolving never to eat any of the crap they’re promoting.

The Sonic morons-sitting-in-a-car especially need to be tear-gassed.

I’m gob-smacked at the V.I. Poo commercial. That has to be fake. It is so beyond the bounds of tastefulness.

But the ants and roaches will be soooo very happy. :rolleyes:

The new Flipp commercial where the couple who can’t stay on budget get schooled by the cashier about this app that finds sales for you. OK, sounds like it could be useful. But the look on their faces when they find out it’s free was overacting in the extreme, they look like they won the lottery and reached orgasm simultaneously. I’ve seen better acting in elementary school plays.

There’s a Dutch one, but I don’t speak Dutch so don’t understand what they’re saying.

My guy bestie detests the Lee “freedom pants” commercial, where the protagonist sails through various events easily with his oh-so-speshful pants, finally ending his day sleeping in his vertical bed with his “Lee woman”.

My friend says he has no need of freedom in his pants and the whole idea of it skeeves him out. Why can’t they just say the pants are a relaxed fit and leave it at that?

I saw this for the first time last night and still can’t believe it’s not some kind of horrible joke. “Even V.I.P.s have to V.I.Poo”.

V.I.Poo: the pre-poo toilet spray

That’s real? :eek: You wouldn’t shit me, would you?

My Google Inbox app is now showing me an ad for Poo-pouri. :smiley:

ETA: is the guy who kicks the pinata in the Lee Freedom Pants commercial sending a signal with his hanky?

What’s up with that old Citroën painted UPS Brown?

Oh, that is so utterly vile. Bimbo with an eating disorder who swallows loads of laxatives to ‘keep thin’ -check. Can’t control her bowels any more, leaves in the middle of a party to drop a huge load in the toilet -check. Calls her turds ‘the devil’s donuts’- check. Producer she’s hoping to impress waltzes in to snort up some coke- check. He thinks, ‘my, her shit smell like rose petals, I think I will put her in a movie!’- check. Just vile all the way around. (not that I don’t think there is no market for this, but making a commercial and such an icky one!..I’m sorry, I’m old fashioned, this is bad taste (ok, bad smell). I wouldn’t be surprised someday to see actual SHIT in a toilet, on tv.

I saw this stuff for sale a couple of days ago, right up by the register. I think it was at Thrifty Drug.

My current hate is the iPhone7 commercial with the balloons and that horribly twee song. The song that shows it isn’t just women that attempt to sing in that breathless style. The song that sounds like Buddy Elf wrote it on the fly. (I love you I love you I love you).

I think that song is actually a fairly interesting cover/reimagining of the original. But I get why you find it annoying, too.

Liberty Mutual continues to fuel my hatred as their series of idiotic ads become more idiotic. Blah-blah-blah-blah-blah…

I’m getting really annoyed with that Subway commercial about some kind of turkey sub …

… not because I’m a cook, but because I’m observant.

The commercial shows the hands of a “chef” laying the ingredients onto the bun. The turkey is on the top of the bun, and then we see the hands putting the cheese on top of the turkey, and then the hands fold the sandwich together …

… and once we see the completed sandwich, now the cheese is on the other side of the turkey.

No, really. As we see the sandwich being assembled, once the sandwich is closed the cheese should be between the meat and the veggies.

But once it’s folded together, suddenly the cheese is between the meat and the top of the bun.

She’s not a Brit. Originally from Scotland she’s now living and attending school in Utah, at BYU. Or she was, when the commercial was made. Here’s a TV interview with her.


Now, has anyone seen the Squatty Potty commerical?
