In the same vein as Nominate the stupidest. . ., I’ve noticed a tendency for commercials to celebrate the meanness in people lately. These people usually happen to be women (if you can nominate a bitchy guy, you get double the points!).
My nomination can change every time I look at TV but for now it’s the wife who, upon her husband telling her he got the whole family telephones says something like, “Oh yeah, how much is that costing us? You’d think you’d consult your wife before spending all that money. I know I should have married Larry Smith.”
The guy in the commercial should also win a prize for the most dickless wonder ever belittled by his wife in a commercial by not responding with, “Suck it, you bitch” but by muttering 'The phones were free."
The free-phone wife has supplanted the guy doing the household taxes wife only because I see her more often. You remember that wife. Her husband is struggling to do their taxes with a program he bought and all she can do is make him feel like an ass by talking to the box the program came in. Bitch.
There’s always the woman talking on the phone to her friend about all the yummy “desserts” (actually yogurt flavors) she has, and her husband is raiding the fridge behind her in a cake-seeking frenzy. Near the end of the commercial she stops and snaps at him, “Babe? What are you doing?” like the man can’t look through their own fridge or something.
I think there was a followup commercial where he’s bragging on the phone about the awesome desserts he’s been eating and losing weight on - exactly like she’d been doing - and she gets all bitchface as she wiggles an empty yogurt container at him, like she’s going to bust him for the same stunt she pulled.
There’s also the one where a guy goes to buy his lady a ring and his credit card is maxed out and she says something like, “Can’t you try the other one?”
And that is why people have credit issues these days.
I disagree. He turns into a morning person, takes over her exercise machine, grabs the remote from her and changes the channel. Yet he doesn’t understand why his wife is mad at him.
There was a McDonald’s commercial that very quickly got pulled. Mommy comes home late from work, but…she’s got McD’s happy meals. After giving them out, she asks her daughter, who appears about 4 or 5 years old “How was your day?”
The little bitch’s reply? “I’ll tell you later.”
I would have taken the burger from her hand, thrown the whole happy meal in the garbage, and put the child into her room until she learned some manners.
Haven’t seen it in a while, but there was a Walmart commercial where the wife comes home with steak, but won’t tell her husband that she bought it because it was super cheap (and no doubt has a quality to match). She preferred letting him wonder if he forget her birthday, or anniversary, or something else important. The bitch can’t just tell him “Hey, these steaks were on sale,” - she’d rather ruin his enjoyment of the meal by making him wonder after each fucking bite when the other shoe is going to drop.
Sticking with Annie-Xmas’s horrendous brat category: There was an ad for a certain brand of fish sticks a while back, where the mom served her little girl the inferior brand of fish sticks, whereupon the little monster started berating her mom. “Minced fish?!? You gave me fish sticks made from minced fish?!?”
Mom then gives her the better brand, and she exclaims, “Now that’s more like it!”
If that was my kid, she’d have found herself sitting in the corner with nothing to eat but the shitty fish sticks for a very long time.
I didn’t see her as bitchy or hear bitchiness in her tone. She was simply curious. Maybe a little befuddled. The fridge was bizarrely neat like everything else in TV land, and she just didn’t understand what he was doing.
The bitch on the Bluetooth at the Beer Store, it think it’s for Bud Light, I could be mistaken.
“Would you like to go to party…giggle…with ME?” and the guy is all like, “Sure!” then he notices that she’s talking on her Bluetooth and she gives him a dirty look. Then again at the cash register when he thinks she’s apologizing. That commercial makes my skin crawl, she’s such a stuck-up bitch.
Yes! Everytime I see it I want to shoot her in the head. I know it’s supposed to be funny but it’s not in the slightest bit. She’s so unlikeable that nothing could make it funny.
Well, the men in commercials are usually too busy being stupid to be bitchy.
The name was John Clarke. I always notice it because there’s a New Zealand comedian by that name that I’m a huge fan of. (Remember “the front fell off”? That was him.)
I gotta admit, that commercial made me giggle the first time I saw it. And, too be fair, he was up at 1 in the morning saying things like “You’ll do that even if I’m married? mmm, sounds good.”
Nope, the OP’s Orchid Lady commercial “wins” the commercial fail contest on all fronts. (1) Bitchy horrible lady (2) Pussy husband who practically breaks into tears when telling her the free minutes came with unlimited texting (3) that unlimited texting probably cost SOMETHING, but nobody asked about that, and finally, (4) I never can remember who the commercial is even FOR, which is a big big failure. Or maybe not, since this commercial is so ill conceiived that I would be loath to buy something from that company anyway.
Yes, wife is being an uberbitch, but to respond to “How are we going to afford X?” by saying “It was free because I bought Y”… Uh? No need to worry about the cost of the motorcycle because they gave it to me free when I bought the BMW? Suuuure.
