If I see one more Progressive commercial, there’s going to be a pink head on a stake in my front yard.
What I would like to see is a law passed that limits the type and frequency of ads on regular broadcast. So for example, if there are six commercial breaks an hour, the station can play no more than three ads for legal aid, tax relief, trade schools, or whatever per hour. Half the problem of these ads is the absolute inundation of them.
I think that’s erin e-surance. The pink one is the cartoon (who is hot), the other is the hot girl obsessed with her nametag.
Oh yeah. I can’t tell them apart because I hate both of them so very, very much. There’s a stick in the yard reserved for the nametag as well.
I can only imagine the health benefits of filling your immediate atmosphere with bio-hazardous waste.
I will HAPPILY Pit TV ads!
…when I was a kid, tobacco commercials were OK. Now those are outlawed, and they try to sell us DRUGS instead!
current unfavourite: the man with Snow White Hair picking up the woman half his age. Viagra commercial. :smack:
Do you know what’s worse? Radio ads. Because they seem to be on ALL THE FUCKING TIME. Thank god for the BBC. I was listening to ‘absolute radio’ (used to be virgin) and this woman kept ringing up hank at the bank to get a loan. SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Anyway, this is funny. Language NSFW (unless you’re Dutch?). Reminded me of The Flying Dutchman’s thread “Amsterdam Pro-Gay Idiots” where he worried about Dutch people’s sensibilities, I thought, needlessly:
I hope it’s real, the Dutch guy I worked with seemed to think so.
It’s not just the flimsy selling point, but the stupid cartoon toilet paper bears are doing this deal where the little one shakes his dingleberry-festooned ass at mama bear. Seriously. Do the makers of this shitwipe really think the best way to sell TP is to show the public (cartoon) dingleberries? Really?
I want to c-i-l-l the Progressive insurance woman. She’s funny looking and I cannot STAND her.
ETA: RTFT (read the thread) Dr. Woo
yup, that’s real.
this i just cannot make my mind up about
but i belive its growing on me
ming
part of the eight and a half pint production team
And then Mama bear chases after Baby bear with a wisk broom and dust pan. Amazing stupidity.
Another one:
For stool softeners…what?
Listen, if I want to soften my stools I go to the pub, guzzle a quantity of falling down water and then scarf down a curry.
Guaranteed to soften your bones never mind your stools
Or you can do what I do: get the Caesar salad at Wendy’s. Better than Colon Blow cereal, that stuff.
We don’t have a Wendys in the UK but next time I’m in the US and can’t find a decent ruby house I’ll take your advice
Three little letters: DVR. It’s probably been 5 or 6 years since I watched a commercial. Ahhhhhh, blessed peace!
Why are there only women on those bloated/hard stools/diarrhoea ads?
If it’s an attempt to make the fairer sex bring gravitas to the situation, it ain’t working.
I loved that Charlie Brooker Top Ten Cocks in Advertising feature. Remember Friendchips? CUNTS!
On that note, I love Jamie Lee Curtis, and I’m appreciative of the fact that she’s aging much more graciously than her dad has, but I really DON’T need to hear about her irregularity, or hear her cajole her “friends” to talk about theirs. Seriously.
And mail it in a TRANSPARENT ENVELOPE CLEARLY MARKED SO EVERYONE WILL KNOW IT’S VALUABLE, but it’s insured, so it’s okay.
Billy Mays is kinda endearing in a “you know he’s trying” sort of way. I really wanna put Vince and Billy in the same locked room with their products and see which one emerges victorious.
Oh my god, go to comparethemeerkat.com, I thought it would redirect but you can ACTUALLY search meerkats!
That’s a pretty nice one.
I think the “Living notoriously well with Jose Cuervo” ads are pretty good, but I’ve only ever seen then on the Daily Show website, never on TV (then again, I mostly watch cartoons so…)
Thanks for the tip on Charlie Brooker - I’m now watching his “Screenwipe” series from beginning to end! He’s awesome.
I can’t believe you guys have celebrities of that calibre advertising solutions to bowel problems! Ahahaha. We only have Nell McAndrew talking about how she’s bloooaaaated and I’m not sure what exactly she does.
