I actually like the Burger King commercials. I would only go there for breakfast when running late or on road trips as it was the only option left. McDonald’s has magnificently bad service (at least around here), Wendy’s always ends in multiple runs to the bathroom, and Taco Bell is unspeakably foul. Burger King always had excellent service with acceptable food. Now, because of their new commercial, I am much healthier as I can no longer conscionably patronize their establishment. No more fast food for me!
His fucking stump fucking twitches! It is the grossest thing I have ever seen on TV.
On the subject of credit card commercials, does anyone else find that Mastercard commercial with the woman singing “My Favorite Things” to be really bizarre?
They show her engaging in a bunch of expensive hobbies like racing vintage cars, taking anti-gravity flights, and fencing in fancy locales.
So either she’s incredibly wealthy, in which case I assume the commercial doesn’t apply to me, or she’s abusing some absurdly high credit limit and is in debt up to her eyeballs, in which case her lifestyle is horrifying.
Diamonds. She’ll pretty much have to.
Is it just my imagination, or has he toned it down a bit? He didn’t seem nearly as…yelley in the new putty something or other commercials as he used to be.
I was thinking the same thing. Still loud, of course, but not as …
Good one. Yes, I hate the Visa ads. I’ve actually purchased things with cash - and believe me, it is much, much easier.
Not all of them. Mmmmmm, I’m loving it.
Lawyers must love you, you just slurp that sewage up, don’t you?
Another thing I noticed in that one: apparently everybody just carries their card loose in a pocket so they don’t have to waste time looking through a purse or wallet for it.
I’ve also seen a new Domino’s commercial where the husband informs his wife that they have 30 minutes until the pizza arrives, then suggestively adds “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” (and suddenly is wearing nothing but a barely-fastened short robe) His wife looks at him and says “What are we going to do with the other 28 minutes?”
And then there’s the whole series of V-8 commercials where people get bopped on the forehead with the heel of someone’s hand because they aren’t eating vegetables. Especially the one where the wife keeps doing it to her husband until he finally says, “You can do that all you want, but I still don’t like V-8.”
Now see. Around here the least consistency in quality and slowest service goes to Burger King. I suspect it may have to do with the franchise managers, your areas has good ones, mine just don't seem to give a frack.
Right there with you on the cutting down on fast food though. Lost about 15 pounds since I did.
Put me down as another one in the hate column for the celebrex commercial.
The soft soothing voice that sounds like it should be coming out of a suicide booth in Futurama, going on and on and on about how this product could kill you in horrific and painful ways, and as a minor afterthought.
Use this product.
Yeah, that makes me want to use it. This product is so dangerous that 90% of the commercial is devoted to the side effects. :dubious:Who is the wife in that commerical? She looks so familiar.
I wasn’t going to slog through the 7 min commercial I found on youtube so I haven’t seen this part, but why is this homophobic as opposed to misogynistic?
Head On, apply directly to the forehead
Head On, apply directly to the forehead
Head On, apply directly to the forehead

Head On, apply directly to the forehead
That, my Dopers, is the all-time worst commercial. At least they took it out of rotation to hawk their other, equally ineffective, rip-off homeopathic remedies. Yet that commercial bored its way into my brain such that whenever I see any of their products advertised, that is all I hear.
Sounds like a challenge, doesn’t it?
I like that one, it makes me laugh.
If you dislike the commercial with Robert Jarvik, MD, pitching Lipitor, then you may be pleased to learn that it’s being investigated by a Congressional committee.
Can’t it be both? Actually I was just going by the attitude of the people who said it. The way they said “Burger Queen” sounded like they were saying “Burger Fag.”
I’ve only ever seen it twice, while visiting someone who has satellite.
And that’s twice too many times.
I know these are meant to be national ads, but I cannot pass up on mentioning Eastern Motors.
Stop the madness. Please.
Belvedere maybe? It’s some kind of liquor. Hip party, lots of chic people and the lowlife sonuvabitch guest goes over to the wall of the house he’s been invited to and DRAWS A FREAKIN’ MOUSTACHE and/or GLASSES ON A VERY NICE ORIGINAL OIL PAINTING!
AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!
You completely worthless, scummy jackass! That paining’s worth more than your miserable self. That’s your thanks to the soul kind enough to be your host? What’s next… are you going to hold a lighter to the apartment’s sprinkler and trash the entire abode or something? AAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH! Then he does that too!
Yeah, put this idea in the minds of young people you’re trying to sell alcohol to. Belvedere, you’re a bunch of losers and I’ll cheer the day you go out of business.
That commercial simultaneously baffles and disgusts me. The “lowlife sonuvabitch” is Vincent Gallo, which is just a big heapin’ helping of “Huh? This is who you want your product endorsed by? Seriously?”
