Actually, the best thing to do is to click on the “Report Bad Post” button in the upper, right-hand corner of the offending post. This will take you to a form that you can then fill out and submit to the mods. After getting notice of the report, we’ll take a look into it.
Alert us, and we’ll step in if necessary; if you try to do so yourself, you’ll take the chance of breaking the forum (or the board) rules and earn a warning. We’d rather that not happen, so we’ll be happy to look at the problem. We may not always agree with the reported post, but we’ll look into it.
Miss Flora and her stupid cranberry choir. God, i hate that commercial. If you’ve not seen it, Flora sings about the urinary tract and how cranberries aid in avoiding infections. And she has a cranberry choir. Gahhhhh!
First of all, this not news. We have long known that cranberry juice is helpful in warding off UTI’s. Second, I do not want to hear people singing about their innards.
The Geico caveman: I love him! Come on, he’s smart, articulate and kinda cute.
I think the commercials are very clever and I wouldn’t mind seeing more of them.
“walking upright, discovering fire, inventing the wheel, laying the foundation for all mankind. Good point. Sorry we couldn’t get that to you sooner.”
Actually, there is a new caveman commercial out, but it’s kind of disappointing. It’s a caveman seeing a therapist about why these ads upset him. They used the wrong caveman, and it doesn’t look like his makeup was applied very well either. Bummer.
Dung, I agree- the new Caveman commerical is a big letdown, and they should have used one of the two main cavemen instead of the new one- he doesn’t have the caveman “look” the other two have.
I’m coming to this thread late and didn’t read the whole thing, so forgive me if this has been mentioned already…
There’s a DirecTV commercial that is in fairly heavy rotation that has background music with a male singer with double-tracked vocals that are out of tune with each other and it drives me absolutely batshit insane. It goes something something …sooner or later… something something . I’ve been trying to find out who does that song so I can hunt them down and kill them.
Yeah, I have seen the one with the therapist and it was meh. I hope they can do something better, but I don’t think they can top the “talk show” commercial.
Holy cow, I moved away from Houston over 15 years ago, and Mattress Mack is still at it?
I’m wondering if he’ll go national, like Empire Carpet. I was living in the Chicago area over 20 years ago, listening to them sing, “588-2300…Empire…”
Now 20 years later, they’ve animated the Empire Carpet guy, and it’s now an 800 number, “(800) 588-2300…Empire…Today.” (They must have had to switch their name to “Empire Today” when they went national.)
Yeah, the look on the caveman’s face when the lady says “looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the rock” is fantastic.
The airport one is made for me by the old style tennis racket bag over the caveman’s shoulder. Perfect.
Embarq. It’s also a TV ad which was funny once. The utter sincerity of the singers cracked me up the first time I saw it (especially the singer shaking the present he’s holding right at the end of the song), but it got old fast.
I personally hate the Popto commercials and also the Wendy’s commercial where the guy is eating some sort of manly burger and gives his girlfriend a bite. Suddenly she starts slouching, changes the TV to some sporting event, outs her hand down her pants and asks him to pull her finger.
Yeah Poysyn i hate that crap too. I don’t eat Wendy’s burgers but if I eat a “manly” meal I surely will not burp or poot. I can conduct myself like a decent human being when eating food I like. Stupid shit.
Those Italian liquer ads that pepper the airwaves during TDS and Colbert. I can’t stand them. I will never drink whatever it is that they’re selling (can’t recall name).
I hate most commercials-even if they’re clever–it gets old really fast.
I think it’s Amaretto di Saronno (sp?) – the one where the bartender gets all googley-eyed when the woman licks the ice cube? “Damn! I’ve never seen a tongue used like that before!”
The Yoplait commercial with the two women comparing the lusciousness of the whipped yogurt to various sensuous experiences such as dating a massage therapist.
I can handle most of them until they get to the part where one says something about shoe-shopping and the other one says, “…for chocolate-covered heels…”
:rolleyes:
Chocolate-covered heels? WTF is that supposed to mean exactly? I can handle most commercials–in fact, I tend to like a lot of them–but they have to at least make some kind of sense. Chocolate-covered heels…for god’s sake…
There’s a recent Arby’s ad that shows several construction workers paying no attention as a couple of stone foxes walk past them, then starting to whistle and go ape shit when a chubby guy saunters by eating an Arby’s sandwich and sucking suggestively on a straw in, what, a milk shake? I can’t believe a real construction worker would react that way to a fat guy with an Arby’s whatever even if he’d been starved for days.
