But their new tagline is great: “He’s dull. But he’s brilliant!” It works on so many levels, and shows that he can laugh at himself.
And I enjoy the caveman series. Doesn’t make me want Geico insurance, but I’m entertained. I like how the airport walkway one has no lines at all. Silent comedy is hard.
There is one that is possibly the worst add for a product in the history of time.
It’s some party game that aparently has things you are not supposed to say and a little buzzer you use to beep out somone who says it. It’s a group of happy-fun-hip-20-29-year olds™ playing while the girl keeps screwing up and the guy keeps beeping her. (whoa, it just came on at this point in my typing). The girl keeps getting more and more pissy until it eventually shows her being a frigid,humorless, bitch.
It concurently reminds of the loser who wrecks any type of game, because they can’t accpet their own incompetance, while it points out that actually getting the game is a waste because at any party there will be ‘one of those’ and it will never get used, and be no fun.
I think that’s for Taboo. Yeah, it’s awful. The woman holds a grudge all the way home and buzzes her husband whenever he talks to her. Not funny at all.
Wait, isn’t that the one where the girl’s boyfriend/husband is going out of his way to “buzz” her? I think her actions were justified – he was acting like an ass.
I hate the BMW ad where they show the two little kids opening their gifts on Christmas morning and they both start screaming, “YES! YES! YES!” I want to slap both of the kids and then the idiots that thought their home movies from last Christmas would make a good commercial.
I’m aware of the fact that I have an inexplicable hatred for this guy…
There’s a Sam Adams commercial where all their employees talk about how much more hops they use than anyone else, yadda yadda, but then at the end there’s this dude with this creepy smile on his face that says “Don’t be afraid of flavor, my man!” and it absolutely burns my fucking toast. I hate him, I hate his smile, I hate his condescending comment. Don’t be afraid of flavor? Oh, so I’m afraid of flavor because I don’t drink your shitty ass horse piss beer, my man? I want to break my glass of Hammerhead across your smug fucking head, my man. Fuckface bag of shit.
Can’t remember now, but has anyone mentioned the Captain Morgan’s Rum commercials? “Everyone’s got a little Captain in them.” That line is really stupid. Like everyone’s walking around a little drunk. There was one commercial where they were listing everyone with “a little Captain in them” and it was a dentist. :eek: I don’t want my dentist to have a little Captain in him!
Some of the later ones are actually kinda funny - right up until the end when whoever “has a little Captain in them” lifts up their left leg like they’re peeing on a fire hydrant. That just looks stupid.
Except in order to get to the tagline you still have to endure 28 seconds of Tom’s irritating drone. And I never get there because I inevitably change the station.
