This goddamn commercial. THIS GODDAMN COMMERCIAL. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE4bcq8Plzk It's just that loving "SOMEBODAYYYYYYYYY LEFT THE GAAAAAAAAATE OOOOOOPPPEENNNNNN" song that grates my ears and brain. It wouldn't be as bad if this particular ad didn't play 10 times an hour on drat near every channel I watch. Die, Citibank. Die.

Ever since I read somebody say (it might have even been in this thread, I don't remember) that it sounds like "SOMEBODY LOVES POTATOOOOOOOES" that commercial has gotten a million times more enjoyable for me.

Young Freud posted:The new Nature's Grain commercial was inspired by the opening to Lord of War, except instead of a Russian bullet going into an African child soldier's skull, it's a peanut going into a fiber bar. This sounds objectively awesome Mainly because I'm picturing the Lord of War intro, except it ends with a peanut being shot into a kid's mouth.

gently caress you, Sonic. Your food may be good as far as fast food goes, but your commercials are lovely. This one in particular makes me want to run a power drill through my temporal lobe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_FaTdGtEBA Seriously, what kind of idiots would sit in a car and do this?

Sonic commercials are all about calling their customers idiots. I think it'd be awesome if they all came from employee stories but I dunno if they're that brave.

They've been using those idiots in their commercials forever. I wouldn't mind going for some popcorn chicken but they closed both of the Sonics closest to me.

I don't know if anyone else here listens to radio in the Philly area, but when I'm listening to the Flyers on 610 those Colonial Marble and Granite commercials are the loving worst. They have a couple fighting over getting new countertops and announce it like it's a sporting event and it's such a typical local commercial and ugh.

The new one is bad, but not in a way that I can remember it. It's just dumb. All radio ads are bad, though, so whatever.

I think Sonic is based out of Oklahoma City, so the farther away you are from there, the scarcer they become. I was surprised a few years ago when I went to small town North Carolina and saw one. Then again, I live in Wichita, Kansas, so there's a Sonic every 5 minutes. And those two idiots were my first exposure to Sonic commercials, 8 years ago.

The context in which I saw that sonic commercial made it hilarious to me hearing "kansas city shuffle" and "that's sooo kansas city!". That being that just a day or 2 before I 1st saw this ad, I saw someone get probated in one of the IYG android threads for quoting a line from Blazing Saddles regarding dancing in KC. It was something I'd forgotten in the 14 something years it's been since I've seen Blazing saddles.

I don't think the lala one would be so bad if it weren't so long, and wasn't played during every break. As it stands, though, I dread the commercial breaks. Except, of course, the Therian/Saunders ones, which are usually pretty entertaining. WIP Chat ITT.

So apparently now smoking will make me become a double amputee with some kick rear end looking prosthetics. Jesus every one knows smoking is bad for you by now, these kind of commercials just seem like a waste of time. At least the one where if you smoked weed your dog would talk to you was effective.

The only scared straight-style ad that's ever worked on me was a poster in school of a girl covered in hideous tar and mucus, and it said something like "if it did to your skin what it does to your lungs, nobody would smoke".

The 20 piece McNugget commercial they're running right now is terrible. Like the suggestion that the guy should buy one to share with the pretty girl despite the fact that a:that's really creepy/weird and b:he LOOKS really creepy/weird what with that terrible greasy hairstyle.

Several years ago, when I finally found out what they put in Chicken McNuggets, I stopped eating at McDonalds. Period. I'll never eat there ever again. Their drink cups are probably made out of recycled humane shelter dog beds, too.

Ugh. This new wave of anti-smoking commercials. They make it seem like literally anyone who smokes a cigarette will have a horrifying voicebox and a stoma or lose both legs due to poor circulation. Some bullshit. Let me smoke myself to death without reminding me of the consequences, please. I'm gonna go have a smoke because gently caress all your smokeproblems. e: ^^^^^They're probably made out of recycled humane shelter dogs.

gently caress's sake, haven't these anti-smoking organizations figured out by now that people can't be grossed out of their vice of choice? It's not like this is any big loving surprise, cigarettes were called "coffin nails" in the Civil War era and people were writing about the disgusting traits of the habit and the correlation with cancer and heart disease in the freaking 1700s. If "this poo poo'll kill you" hasn't worked by now, maybe it's time to try a new approach.
