The full impact of the horror can’t be communicated through mere words on the screen. Her delivery really drives it home.
For me it’s a deathmatch between Digger the Dermatophyte and “Gotta Go Right Now”.
I’m sort of hoping it’s a tie.
How about this Nike commercial? You know the one with the scary music and the grim warrior athletes that inexplicably start sprouting masks and weapons and barbed wire? You know, the one that’s so dark and edgy and unutterably ludicrous?
That one.
I gotta admit that any ad with cute puppies is okay by me, especially since in the Brawny ad, the pup is a yellow lab pup, and my favorite dog in the universe is a yellow lab. Awww, itty bitty Isaac! (He was a rescue, so I don’t know what he looked like as a little guy, but I’m sure he was adorable.)
Nobody understands why I refuse to buy a certain brand of toilet paper, the one with the bear ads. They just gross me out.
I like the nike commercial…

I gotta go with Anna Nicole Smith and her helium-voice. Every time I see her TrimSpa ads I fully expect her to rip off her clothes and start to pole dance.
It just amazes me tha they based an entire cutesy ad campaign, with cute pastel bear cubs, on the line “Does a bear shit in the woods?”
I just saw a Mountain Dew commercial where some guy accidentally (using his car alarm controller) changes his male buddy into an attractive female. During the process, the transformee was protesting. Once finished, however, the transformee (now femal) started flirting with the guy. And the guy responded in a way that showed he was interested.
Umm…

The Brawny Commercials bug the hell out of me, too. One commercial I see once in a while that utterly bugs me as well: Some lady is spraying Febreze in her daughter’s closet. She’s saying something about how her daughter is really active, so her clothes get all smelly all the time-- but she sprays this stuff all over it and the smell is GONE! HOORAY! And here I am, thinking that if you have been active and sweated all over your clothes, you should FRIGGIN’ WASH THEM instead of spraying stuff meant to take the smell out of your sofa all over them. Silly me. :rolleyes:
The really annoying part of my personal boycott of said toilet paper is that it’s good toilet paper. I’d buy it if they’d just quit with the damn bears.
Maybe she’s trying to overcome the smell of patchouli that her daughter has been using to cover up her other “activities”? 
Y’know, last night I saw a commercial where a guy in a supermarket grabs some sort of deodorant spray off the shelf, sprtizes himself with it, and all the hot chicks within smelling distance go into “bitch-in-heat” mode and physically attack him.
I not much for PC, but this commercial is egregiously sexist, and pathetically stupid. I fucking HATE this commercial. I’d like to find the guy who wrote it and punch him in the nose. Not even Digger gets me this riled up.
No, the Body Spray commercial (can’t remember the brand) is my new all-time most-hated. FUCK that piece of shit made me angry.
That’s exactly how I feel about Carl’s Jr. I used to love their burgers, and I’d buy them again once they fire their ad agency.
They’re on an anti-roll: their last 3 campaigns have been:
- People slobbering and dripping condiments on themselves.
- How eating their fast-food burger is SOOO much better than eating in those horrible, horrible restaurants with waiters & stuff.
- Obnoxious fetuses.
It’s been a few years, but Rally’s used to have the campaign slogan “If it doesn’t get all over the place, it doesn’t belong in your face.” Their commercials all featured people noisily slurping up burgers that were dripping gunk all down their shirts. The sound of lip smacking was prominent. When finished with their burgers, the people (who had condiments and bits of meat stick everywhere on their face between their chin and their eyebrows,) would then lick their shirts, the table, the placemats, slurp on their fingers… loud, wet slurping noises accompanied all of this in an attempt to drive the point home. I have a pretty strong stomach, but these ads always made me want to puke. I couldn’t drive by a Rally’s without feeling ill.
Leviosaurus, are you sure you aren’t talking about Carl’s Jr? I hated those ads.
I’ve never heard of Carl’s Jr. Maybe they are the same corporation? It appears that these days, Rallys is owned by Checkers: http://www.rallyshamburgers.com/home.html hopefully this means Rally’s stupid campaign bankrupted the chain and they got snapped up at fire sale prices.
I’ve moved out of the midwest and stopped watching TV, two moves which have mercifully spared me from seeing any more of these commericials. The Carl’s spots I’ve read about on this thread sound similar, but don’t seem to inspire the same level of utter revulsion the Rally’s commercials did for me and my friends. If they are in fact the same, then you who see them regularly have my sincere pity.
Odd; based on that rallys/checkers link there’s no connection between the two. But that IS the Carls’ Jr ad campaign – the same drooling, slobbering, smacking, dripping, and the same stupid tagline: if it doesn’t get all over your shoes, it’s not worth shoving in your piehole.
The commercials I really hate are those Verizon ones. “Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now?”
DAMNIT, YES I CAN HEAR YOU! And I hate you. What a stupid tag line. And what gets me, I’d actually heard people saying it trying to be funny. Man, that’s beyond lame. At least they’re not as popular as they used to be.
The same goes for that Capital One commercial. “Tic-Tac-No. Enney, Meeny, No. Marco Pono.” First of all, it’s got David Spade saying it, which is enough. And second of all, it just sucks. If you say any of these trying to be funny, well, you’re not.
No, no, no! It’s Marco Pol-no! ::thwaps bclouse with a little stick::
::bclouse grabs stick, beats Lev to death::
I love those commercials!
“Hawaii?”
“A-no-ha!”
“Saint Thomas?”
“Sain’t happening!”
“Something?”
“I’m predicting a NO-storm!”
