There’s the one where this presumptive coed sings (obviously lip-synched) about this online college or somesuch in a hopelessly outdated song style which would make Mariah Carey look cutting edge. I find her voice and melody to be eyeball-gougingly painful.
Ohhhh. See, I like those ones. I’m still amused by silly stuff, though.
The money with the eyeballs is emblematic of all the dough you could be saving with Geico if they didn’t have to jack up their rates to pay for the saturation TV ads.
Second the ire felt by the OP. Great song ruined. Bad enough when they use the original, let alone a one note difference in the mimicry + lame vocals.
Weak.
Sauce.
Rant.
Gosh, I totally forgot about ivn1188’s self-promotion to Pit Policeman. Oh, wait…I didn’t forget. I just don’t give a shit.
You know what will never get old? GoDaddy.com commercials. Ah, boobies.
Be grateful that the other self-appointed Pit Policeman, Carol Stream, hasn’t yet appeared in this thread to berate you.
You should feel honored that he made an appearance.
There’s some heartburn medicine one (and I don’t remember the name so that proves the commercial sucks,) and it starts off with some pasty-faced woman on a blind date with some guy who’s having a great time but she can’t because she has heartburn I guess.
So she takes the medicine and bingo! They’re married!!
And I’m like, “Huh? Since when does heartburn medicine make someone irresistable?”
Oh, and she uses words wrong for cutesy effect. “He looks positively regnant!” Ecch. Now I have heartburn. And if I take medicine for it, I might accidently take this slop for it because I can’t remember the fucking name of the product. Great.
Every time I see that commercial I have to stop and wonder how anyone sees that guy as visually appealing at all, let alone visually appealing enough to have a fast-track on “Mr. Right”.
I always imagine his non-stop pantomimed talking to be all about him…what he did today, his star quarterback days in high school, his $500,000/year job, his mansion in Malibu…
I had been wondering why sometimes I got people talking through my computer. It usually wasn’t very clear, often whatever it came stilted, and never lasted very long so it couldn’t be an interference.
“Autoplay” ads on webpages. Can we please take the people who make 'em out back and beat them to death with live skunks?
OK, that’s creative. I like it, but you go first. I’ll be standing way over there…upwind.
That retarded one by Olay and walMart by the tune of " Do your ears hang low?"
If that is the HSUS ad, it is also a pack of lies. I have to mute the sound when that comes on, or end up yelling at the TV… :eek:
Go easy on him, the poor thing obviously suffers from some sort of post-traumatic stress disorder. It’s a wonder he’s even able to function after a trauma like that.
And he’s so in to her that he notices her obvious distress. Yeah, that’ll be a good marriage.
Another awful earworm, except when it keeps replaying in my head the words change to “Do your boobs hang low”.
I don’t hate it, but I want to adopt all the poor little abused kitty cats. I can’t though, because I have too many already. But I want them.
I’m sorry, but what is the lie exactly? Animals do get abused and shelters are full of them. Can you elaborate?
I’m taking you down, Gillette.
The ad (shown in the UK): A man is seen at various points shaving with, or attempting to purchase razor blades for, his Gillette Mach 3 razor. At each stage he is assaulted by a golf/tennis/soccer ball (as appropriate) launched by Tiger Woods, Roger Federer or Thierry Henry. At the end, all three hit him at once and laugh.
The intended message?
The actual message?
I know I must be in the minority, but I can’t hit the mute button fast enough when any of the Howie Long car commercials come on.
He comes off as a condescending. self satisfied asshole, and really doesn't make me want to buy a car from him. Of course, from some of the commercials they used to run for hummers, "douchebags buy our cars" seems to be a selling point. So perhaps that's the demographic they are shooting for.
