Is anybody else annoyed by this Bass beer commercial besides me??? The whole gen-X, off-handedly sage and kweul Bass campaign gets me. Including the sweatshirt guy advising that we draw up our lives in pencil and then do it over again, and that there’s a difference between the Right Girl and the Right Now Girl (watch out how many Basses you enjoy with him). The whole campaign is so infatuated with (what’s meant to be) it’s own grass-roots, shoot from the hip, disarming hipness, that it ends up looking the opposite to me. :rolleyes:
Is this just me? And what other commercials annoy the @#!!& out of you for some reason?
Although getting out of Nebraska is a sentiment I can completely get behind (I spent 10 months in the hell that is North Platte, NE), I agree that these commercials are incredibly irritating. The black guy who talks a little funny bothers me the most.
Well, now I have to see this, since I am from Nebraska. I haven’t seen it yet.
I hate any commercial that oversentimentalizes Christmas while still being commercial. You know, the ads that imply the real way to show love is by buying Product X. DeBeers comes to mind.
I started this thread without realizing there is a big similar one going on in Cafe society. So I’m getting repetitious here, but how about the Frosted Mini Wheats (?) two sided biscuit arguing with itself in various settings?
GREAT however, is anything Ikea. Best ever, over all the years they’ve advertised!
ANY of those goddamn diamond commercials. There’s that one where the guy is a loser becasue he bought his wife a stuffed animal for their first xmas. Listen, I bought my wife a nail gun one year. :eek: Worked out great. Chainsaw another time.
I actually know the guy who does one of the Bass Ale ads. Not any of the ones you mentioned (pencil guy, “right now girl” guy or Nebraska guy) though, the other one.
He also does voice-overs for the Madision Square Garden network commercials in NYC.
Ok, I bet Get Out of Nebraska was a strain of that Bass campaign only played to a few areas, and so is not widely known. The last line is something like…“So that’s what inspired me to get out of Nebraska and come to the big town here.”
Oh, and for annoying Christmas garbage, I’ll nominate the Lexus ad that shows various rich young white men surprising their rich young white wives with Lexi.
Well, at least there is one ad, I think it might be for Mercedes, where a rich young white wife gives her rich young white husband that toy model car, then he sees in the pic she snapped that a real one is outside in the background of the picture…
Fair is fair, but somehow she strikes me as so cocky and impish I kind of want to slap her…
