Commercials

[Devanshu]

I was watching the AFLAC commercial today and I was wondering about the most annyoning commercial I've ever seen. I cant stand Gilbert Godfreed(sp?). What are some of your favorite/least favorite commercials?

[mastersmurfie]

Zoom Zoom Zoom...

Mazda commercials suck...that song just gets stuck in my head for days!!

[Rookie64]

Luckily, I don't watch much network TV...but the one that grates on my nerves most is the Bob Seger Like A Rock song.
Seems like the longest running commercial ever...seriously, how many years now has it been that they aired that.


My favorites, were the MTV...everything else sucks spots that quickly got yanked...and Where's The Beef ads for Wendy's.

Best commecials:

The VW commercial with Trio - DA DA DA in the background. Two guys drive and pick up a couch, it smells, so they drop it off.

The Fed Ex commercial where the guys are talking like Captain Kurk saying "Or we're doomed". Hilarious

[Devanshu]

I hate the arby's oven mit stuff. Every time that commercial comes on I want to shoot the TV.

The one where he flew off the guy's hand out the sunroof was funny.

I like the (Visa?) ad about identity theft, with the chick in the beauty salon talking like the hacker..

"... and $20,000 to finish my robot... my girl robot.... heh heh heh heh heh.."

most annoying... most beer ads.

[Devanshu]

But stuff like, "I dont get this jogging thing, it's not giving me a workout at all" and "Got a great new sandwich, gonna be really, really bust, got to get in SHAAAAPE", I find really annoying.

[tgpo]

"... and $20,000 to finish my robot... my girl robot.... heh heh heh heh heh.."

"This is gonna be the best prom ever!"

I like the one with the old lady. "Mamaseta"

[northcat_8]

I don't watch much network TV...but,

"Can you hear me now..." I almost changed wireless companies over that commercial.

Mazda "zoom, zoom" commercial...that ends with the little kid saying "zoom, zoom".

Also the miller Lite commecial where the guys can't taste their beer and the one where all the people are falling like Dominos.

[VCDHunter]

All adverts suck but the worst are the hair/beauty product commercials, the ones with the made up science. But all adverts suck.

Classic.

The Fed Ex commercial where the guys are talking like Captain Kurk saying "Or we're doomed".

I love that commercial. Do you know where I can get a high quality version of it?

[tgpo]

Naw. I'd like a quality version of both of them, the Fed Ex and the VW commercial.

[alenhard]

Most annoying have got to be the Valtrex herpes/genital warts commercials.

They always show attractive people out hiking and camping and playing in waterfalls under a beautiful moonlit sky with no worries in the world.

Yeah right. Who's gonna act like that when their genitalia is falling off?

Edit: I forgot about that stupid CarrotTop guy. He's the biggest retard in the world.

[housepig]

this is true - I find pharmaceutical commercials annoying in general... "go tell your doctor you need this drug you saw on tv" is the grown up version of "go tell mommy to buy you this cereal - there's a toy in the box!"

doubly bad are the ones where the ad specifies nothing about the malady it treats - if you go by the ad, Levitra will help you get your aim back, so you can throw a football through a tire swing... so it works on your eyes? or your shoulder? or your eye-hand coordination? no, silly... it works on your pee-pee.

Well spotted

the new wave of mcdonalds commercials.. they've got one for every segment of society.. the most disturbing ones are the ones that target the ***** community.. i think i heard them say "get your black ass in here and spend your crack money on a double cheeseburger beotch!"

although this wont stop me from eating at mcdonalds (i'm just being honest here), i do wish that somehow mcdonalds would go bankrupt or something

I especially hate the ad where it's the dude who cant stop smiling. I dont remember what the name of the drug is but either something about male enhancement or a substitute for viagra.

I like the ipod commercials because they have decent music. I saw an amusing citi bank credit card one today...there is a lady who's putting up "lost hamster" sings with a reward offered. A guy walks by and sees the hamster in the lady's shirt. The hamster makes its way to the front and the guy slowly reaches in trying to be inconspicuous but the lady turns her head and pepper sprays him...and then the announcer says "there's an easier way to get a reward" and the usual junk they say that I block out.

what's funny there are all the people who are asking the guy "new haircut?" "get a raise?" ... can't figure out what's different today with the guy...

you never see him from the front, below the waist. what's different today is that he has a raging boner.

I know the one you're talking about but it's not the one I'm referring to. The one I'm talking about is where he jumps in the pool, comes out, and has no trunks on anymore(now I'm definitely sure its the male enhancement drug) and everyone just stares at his crotch. Another one is with the same guy and he's out bowling and switches his shoes with a huge black dude by accident and when he goes to return them, the attendents at the desk just stare blankly at him and of course, he has the stupid wide grin across his face.

To me, just about any commercial is annoying on TV. I would very much prefer to watch a DVD movie.

I received 10 commercial spams in my email Bulk folder this morning and this isn't all, heaps of junk advertising in the mail box as well everyday.

TV commercialism is getting worse and advertising scams are a new breed.

WTF, only the news on TV is enough.

First, let me say that Jeex is just being himself with this comment. That's why we like him (even if he is a fudgepacker).

I must add, however (since I grew up in Atlanta and know something about black American culture), the commercial where the black dudes are playing basketball on rollerblades has got to be the most absurd audio-video production in history.

Man, do you know what would happen to a brotha' if he showed up to play ball with some ROLLERBLADES on???

It wouldn't be pretty, man. And to top it off, he dunks to end the commercial. On skates. Stupidest crap in the world.

I hate ads that try to be cool (i.e the new McDonalds ads).

[Forum Troll]

LOST ANOTHER LOAN TO DITECH!

[BobV]

Can't stand stupid Mac ads, the ones where one person is speaking on a white background and the little tune in the back ground... aaaah it drives me nuts. At least I have not seen them for a while....

However who can remember Full minute ads on TV. Every ad was a full minute! I think the worst were Doubblemint Gum ads..

Did you see where Eminem sued Apple for the one where the little kid was rapping his song? I think Apple sucks, but I enjoyed that commercial. Eminem is just a big baby.

[Capmaster]

Or these scenes where two women are sitting at a restaurant supposedly discussing the merits of their sanitary products ......

[BobV]

And how about Spike Lee, didn't he want to sue the Spike TV network for useing the word "spike"? What an ass.

OT, but this guy named Mike Rowe put up a web page advertising his software business and called it Mike Rowe Soft.com. Microsoft sued him to stop using the name and will probably win :P

they've settled with him, due to the bad publicity. and he even made money on eBay, auctioning off the documentation!
