A beer company is invoking Buzz Aldrin, a recovering alcoholic, to sell product? WTF?
What, y’all ain’t “cruckin” like rooster and lovin’ it?
Bahdupbahbahbah, shut the fuck up!
Really? I love this ads! The thought of walking into a McDonalds and seeing loads of depressed people with “I’m Lovin’ it” on their t-shirts seems to strike a chord with me. though my mates and I often play ‘spot the “I love my job - please shoot me” people’.
Anyway, ads I hate - all the ambulance chaser ones. Most seem to go along the lines of ‘Did you fall over? Sue someone!’ and ‘Where there’s blame, there’s a claim’. ffs.
Don’t forget stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I know they pander to the lowest common denominator, but man, is that lowest common denominator ever low. I mean, I know the average guy is stupid, but these ads just rub my nose in it.
This is my opinion too. I don’t always change the channel, but looking at those things does not make me hungry…it has actually the opposite effect.
What were they thinking?
No the tele evangelists are the ones that i truly loathe. Praise god who lived in poverty on this earth. Now please send me a check for ten grand. I mean wtf? Not only do they make me want to kick the tv they make me want to stab it just to watch it bleed.
I’m in total agreement for those damn diet pill commercials. I hate the whole genre of weight loss commercials. You don’t need a machine or a pill! You need to get off your ass and walk around the neighborhood or go swimming or play an impromtu sport of any kind with some friends or do some jumping jacks or numerous other things that don’t involve spend money. Sheesh.
And the Truth commercials are equally disgusting. How about all the anti-drug commercials out there? Now, I would pass a drug test, but I went through my phase and I can tell you that:
- Smoking weed will not make you pick up a gun and shoot yourself. If it does, you deserve to be shot. (You may now exit the gene pool. I hope you enjoyed your stay.)
- Smoking weed does not get you pregnant. Sex does. And smoking weed is more likely to make you NOT want to have sex. That ad is more pertinent to alcohol, a legal drug.
- Asking your kid what he’s doing tonight will not keep him from doing drugs.
- And if you’re lucky enough to have a kid that is honest enough with you to have admitted to smoking weed, don’t ground him! It’ll only make him lie to you!
How about an anti-drug ad warning of the dangers of the date-rape drug? Something that is far more dangerous than a little weed.
I swear, it’s like everyone thinks we are stupid. Oh wait, that’s what the advertising industry is all about.
I hate the ones for Orbit gum. You know, some moron smiles through a mouthful of dirt or mud, showing off his sparkling white smile and fresh breath, due to the gum. Can’t stand it.
ugh the quiznos ads creep me out! Is it just me, or do those “things” look like frozen rats (if you have snakes and feed frozen rodents, you know what I’m talking about)…
ick.
As already mentioned, the new Quiznos ad that makes absolutely no sense to me is pretty shitty. The ad that’s really burning me up this week though, is the McDonalds “i’m lovin it” one with rollerblading basketball? WTF? Yep, looks like an average day in da hood to me. 
They look like dead stuffed rats to me. Like something you’d see in a taxidermist’s. That Quizno’s as is really unappealing.
I can’t beleive it.
31 posts and I’m the first to say that I want to take a baseball bat to those two stupid fucking morons that can’t function if they have to buy food from anywhere other than Sonic?
Those guys should be forced to eat that crap every day.

I hate the McD’s commercial where the guys run out of gas, and then push their car through the drive thru to spent their last few bucks on McD’s instead of gas. Priorities, folks. “I’d rather have food right now than have gas for a week. Thanks!”
And those anti-drugs ads.
Remember the ones about how if you buy pot, you’re supporting terrorists? When I lived in TX, I had some pot-head friends who informed me that most of the weed came from about 100m north, except for the dirt weed from Mexico. Buy USA!
Howzabout the ones telling you “1 out of three reckless drivers tested for drugs tested positive for marijuana.” What about the others? What did they test positive for? ALCOHOL? Anyone have any studies about who kills more people - potheads or drunks?
Then there’s the “One joint contains as much cancer-causing tar as 4 cigarettes.” Well . . . this one got me in a “what a crappy study” kind of way. What kind of cig? Non filter, full flavor, ulra light? As for the pot, what if you smoke it another way? Pipe, bong, gas mask, wtfever. Not to mention most people don’t smoke 20 joints a day (or 5, or however would be neccessary to equal a pack of cigs). Would 4 cigs a day for a few years (since I think most potheads are in a pothead phase, not life-long pot smokers) cause cancer as much as a pack a day for 20 years?
That damn Arby’s ovenmit. The one I hate is where he’s exercising, and they’re on a treadmill or something, and he says that he’s not feeling it. I turned to the Cody when I saw this: “Was that supposed to be funny?” “Ummm . . . I think so.” “Swing and a miss.”
Celebrity Justice. The things these stupid people sue over makes me want to throw things at the TV.
Elimidate. More specifically, the guys who want to make out with all three girls, and then eliminates the one who won’t. I want to ring their neck. She’s not really on a date with you, she might never see you again, and you want her to shove her tongue down your throat? Asshats. “I just wasn’t feeling a connection” = “I don’t think I’m gonna get laid tonight.”
Sigh. There’s more, I know there is.
Del Taco is still in business on the West Coast.
Mr. Pibb is actually a Coke product. 
The Pepsi/iTunes commercial(s?) irritate me too, but mostly because of the girl’s accent and voice.
ARGH! I hate these.
Change-the-channel hate these.
Guy one: Are you gellin’?
Guy two: Like Magellan.
Me: WTF? What does Magellan have to do with shoe inserts?
OR
G1: Are you gellin’?
G2: Like a fellon.
Me: [again]WTF???
Gives new meaning to the name “Iron Mike.”
Saw a new diet drug that was being advertised on the basis that is cost $159.00 a month, so it must work great! I’m sure the fine print mentions limiting calories and exercise as part of the money-pack program.
Actually, most stuff makes me want to kick the TV.
What irks me? I just tuned in to TNT for a Law & Order marathon that was advertised to be on all day today. Instead I found cars driving fast in a circle. :mad:
Technically, no (but good point). They are invoking nobody. Because nobody remembers whatzisname.
Mine’s on the radio (paraphrased):
So, the guy says his son isn’t active and, shocker of shockers! He’s suffering from INACTIVITY!
Whew. I’m glad they 'splained that to me.
