But that’s the great thing about McD’s…you get both!
Oh, and blessedwolf…
She’s been carrying the little rug rat for around nine months. If she decides she just has to have it during a tie game with 2 on and 2 out in the bottom of the ninth, well that’s her problem.
There’s a local car dealer who says “I wouldn’t lie to you!” in his ads, who really talks in a kind of mush mouthed accent and it comes out “I wudn lajew” He describes the cars and you can barely understand him. It’s so bad a local restaurant has taken to lampooning his ad on its radio spots.
Hershey’s Swoops, there it is!
When I first moved to Norfolk, we were staying in a hotel while we were trying to buy our house.
I turned on the TV and saw an ad for Lowell “THE HAMMER” Stanley, a lawyer. That’s enough to scare you out of the state.
“I’m Lowell “The Hammer” Stanley. Did some MORON cause you to be in a car accident? Were you injured because of some IDIOT? Call me, Lowell “The Hammer” Stanley, at 555-CASH (No lie, the first 3 obviously aren’t 555, but i don’t remember them, but the last 4 are definitely CASH.) and I will make sure you get every penny you deserve from that JERK.”
Well, except for the commission. And court costs. And filing fees. But otherwise…
And we have a similar lawyer ad here. Big burly old guy with a grunty, gritty voice telling me very forcefully that “if YOUR personal INJURIES are keeping YOU from WORKING, Fenster S. SLIMEBALL can get YOU your RIGHTFUL restitution! CALL Fenster S. SLIMEBALL right NOW!”
Much screaming and shouting, you say? That’s kind of like absolutely everything on TV, actually.
The Dodge Durango commercial with the lady who goes “Looook, it’s got a DVD!”
Oh yeah? You got a movie with your truck? Which one?
It’s a DVD Player you numbnutted twit!
I don’t know why this gets under my skin so much.
I hate that commercial, too! And one similar to it as well–the one for Febreze, where this teen girl keeps closing and reopening her closet to get a whiff of the fresh scent. Then it shows her spraying Febreze on the crotch of her jeans. Hell, girl, toss those things in the washer, why doncha?! I mean, really, that is just too gross for words!
I just have to defend the McDonald ads for a moment here - my mate is in the one with Laurenece Delallio in, so we have to like that one.
The rest annoy me.
Lil
I know someone else already saw the commercial I was talking about, but I’m still posting anyway, heh.
Swoops.
“SWOOP there it is. SWOOP there it is.” I want to hit something just hearing it in my head.
Gee wizz where do I start? I agree; MacDonalds, WhiteLies, and ALL the boner pill commercials. Erections lasting more than 4 hours should be reported. 4 hours?! what would I do for the other 3 hrs. 55 mins.? But the reality shows are getting to me. The show where the chick has to pick the straight guy WTF “The Donald”
Marry the ugly guy, aw crap gotta go American Idol is on :rolleyes:
There’s an ad for Enterprise car rentals with a guy talking about how he can rent any kind of vehicle for any occasion. In the background, on his driveway the vehicle in question shapeshifts as he speaks, ending with a minivan changing to a convertable, just in time for a woman to get in the passenger seat. Unfortunately, while it’s a minivan a group of young girls in soccer uniforms pile in, and when it turns into the convertible they’re nowhere to be seen!
I have to scream “The car ate the children!” every time I see it.
Rental cars: Dingoes for the 21st century. Tonight on FOX.
Apparently, Lowell “The Hammer” Stanley is now Lowell “Mad Dog” Stanley.
He HUNTS FRIGGIN IDIOTS! How do I know this? because he told me so, and even put it in big, bright yellow letters on my TV screen. He also gets MAXIMUM MONEY.
Also in big, bright yellow letters on my screen was “MAD DOG BITES THEM IN THEIR ASSETS.”
This guy freaks me out.
I agree with the above, but here is one new trend that bugs the shit out of me.
For some reason television shows think the viewing public is far too stupid to retain what happened in the show before the commercial break. The show does a recap of events after the commercial break like it happened in last weeks show -and they do it after each commercial! It was only 2.5 minutes ago! I think I can remember.
The first time I see this shit on a show these days, I flip the TV off.
Ugh. That Hotels.com ad with the woman measuring the distance from the hotel to the museum. She has the impossibly long tape measure and gets to the museum, looks at the end to see how far it it, and lets it go.
But she’s got the wrong end! She has the end with the “one” on it!
The doorman standing at the hotel, apparently holding the other end for her, is just standing there holding it, not paying attention to how far it is at all.
It annoys the ever-living crap out of me.
Those ads for some upcoming series of football games. There’s one that aired a year ago where a woman is trying to talk to her husband who is either huddled in the fetal position or spaced out, not responding. Then some other guy explains that Fetal Dude’s got PSSD (they make a point to say it’s pronounced “Pissed”), which stands for a fictional syndrome that relapses every time NFL football season ends. But don’t worry, because on March 19, the Arena Football League will cure his PSSD.
Most ads are cool, with lots of pretty graphics and stuff. Any time I see a commercial that stereotypes men as football druggies, I rip the TV in half with my chainsaw, then kick it.
FYI…
I did a google search and checked several places.
It appears Buzz Aldrin was the second person to set foot on the moon.
Your welcome.
You’re that is.
my this is a yo-yo of a thread.
