Most Hated Commercials, Holiday Edition

Is this original? I need to know whom or what to credit when everyone burst into applause when I use it.

It’s better than the one in which he shows up after his own funeral.

That hug at the end is creepier than the coffee commercial, by far.

Oh, I have no offerings; I stick to DVDs and Netflix this time of year.

Not original, but I can’t remember where I first heard it.

There’s a particularly obnoxious Jared’s commercial (yes, I know “obnoxious” and “Jared’s” are redundant) in which a moderately attractive woman walks through a clothes-filled walk-in closet the size of most bedrooms while talking about finding the right thing to wear for the occasion and then finds a magic door to Jared’s, because apparently this woman of privilege doesn’t have quite enough baubles in her life.

Not quite sure what’s so off-putting about the commercial except that it’s just tacky and ostentatious.

Maybe that they are indirectly associated with a pedophile? :eek:

Wrong Jared.

Would I get a warning if I said, “Fuck Me!”?

That’s the people I complained about somewhere or other in this thread or the similar one. Not just diamonds - expensive jewelry also.

Man: And for Christmas I’m giving you and everyone world peace.

Woman: But I want something pretteeeee.

Man is clueless, woman is greedy and whiny, and Tom Shane needs to have his lights punched out.

But then you wouldn’t have a friend in the diamond business.

OTOH, the men in the latest crap, err crop, of commercials are stunningly dense. It’s Christmas! I love her! I’m giving her a dishwasher!

Those men come across much better if you assume - as I do - that they’re passive-aggressive men with shrewish greedy girlfriends who’re trying to wheedle diamonds out of them. Trolling for the holidays.

Also, Tom Shane has the absolutely worst voice to use in advertising: smarmy and grating. It’s worse than Brook Dubman’s smarm.

This is the worst holiday season I’ve ever seen for pushy jewelry ads (worst offender - Kay’s).

I am really, really sick of the “this is how we do it” Dish network ads.

This is how I do it, Dish. (click)

Star Wars nerds may want to sit down and not be holding (nor even next to) anything fragile:

Star Wars: The Force Awakens | Family | Ram Trucks
–which apparently are also the Force.
I find this really offensive, like a bad joke.

That’s a shitty commercial, like virtually all car commercials, but I kinda love the fact that pick-up trucks - as traditional a symbol of alpha masculinity as you could ask for - is being advertised by associating them with laser sword wielding space wizards.

There is no “geek culture” any more. It’s just “culture.” And that’s awesome.

This is an over-statement/wishful thinking.

Wasn’t it Dodge that was advertising their trucks were good for the heroes of the Hunger Games, too?
