I am so tired of the Jack Reacher commercial and that loving song in the ad. The one guy just rattles off the cliched agencies a hero needs to be a part of in an action movie "You betta watch it! The guy was part of FBI, CIA, BLACK OPS, Seal team 345, CBS, NBC, Super Secret Super Agent Club, Evolution Revolution, Banana Splits"

I swear to god that the first time I saw the first of those commercials, the one in the meeting room or whatever, the graph wasn't labelled in any way, and it was just "which of these bars is bigger".

I thought I was going crazy, but I think you're right. I was going to point out the lack of labels to somebody a while back and then there they were.

I hate that loving AT&T U-verse commerical with the little girl lecturing her little sister and her friends about how "easy" they had it in regards to their TV watching.

"..and if Dad was snoring on the couch, WE muscled through it."

I know it's wrong to hate little girls, but I do. I hate that little girl.

Also the person behind that Kay Jewler's commercial with the Mistletoe company CEO who is running a meeting and says "Mistletoe sales are at an all time low, yet kissing is at an all-time high! I WANT ANSWERS!" can go to the darkest level of Hell.

Pretty much any and all dating website advertisements.

Zoosk, Christian Mingle, JDate, Cougar Life (UGH), I think there was one that was specifically targeted towards black people as well, but I don't remember the name.

They all reek of "Hey you watching the TV why aren't you married? You shouldn't be alone join our site and pay money so we can "Match" you up with random people, who knows maybe they'll be "The one", Join now! Look at this happy couple we in no way didn't pull off the street and pay to say good things about us. JOIN NOW! JOIN NOW!"

Any and all Jamster commercials can go gently caress off too. I don't want to see a lovely looking CGI Gummy Bear dancing Gangam Style, I especially don't want you to call it cute when it looks like a loving middle-aged man in a green bear costume (Complete with stubble and grungy briefs.), I especially don't want to see it on the supposed to be ad-free Boomerang. Can I just watch my retro cartoons without being reminded that stupid things like this exist?

I'm really at a loss as to why Jamster is still in existance. I recall cringing when their ads first starting airing back in 2005, pre-smart phone era. Kind of in a "Why the hell would someone spend money on such a poo poo ringtone" sort of way, and then they had ads for "Text 34566 to see if your boyfriend is right for you, or your daily horoscope" sort of garbage.

In the world of iphones and androids, their customer base should be down to exactly zero people, yet I still see ads. My only other explanation is that there's some really dumb 12 years old that must still download this stuff.

I would have acted like that when I was 11.

That Grave Digger Fathead cost $100. A birthday gift for me when I was 11 was like $20. $100 was the combined value of all my Christmas gifts.

If 10 year old me came home to see this: http://www.fathead.com/military/vehicles/f-16-fighting-falcon/?src=browse on my wall, I'd have pissed myself in joy.

I agree. Just saw that ad for the first time yesterday, and they spend a full 40 seconds on the kid before they pan over to the Fathead decal. I thought it was a Make-a-Wish foundation ad for all the buildup, and Travis Pastrana was gonna be in the room or something. I definitely didn't expect it to be a Fathead ad, it's all very over the top.

I second this. I also suggest a contest where people edit the commercial footage to show a variety of things when the camera cuts to the wall.

For instance, footage of a Nuremberg rally/the Shockmaster tripping over the 2x4/the Hindenberg disaster/footage of arm-wrestlers snapping their arms in half/Honey Boo-Boo clips/etc;etc. This kid going apeshit over some of the worst atrocities in human history would be magnificent.

I was thinking of posting this, but forgot until I saw your post. What's funny is that this ad isn't super annoying like a lot of terrible commercials, yet I probably hate it more than most of the ads that are way more annoying. I think a lot of it is that it takes until the last five seconds for them to show what they're advertising, so you're watching a kid cry over something that, in a few years after he's past his "monster trucks are the loving poo poo" phase, he will take down and never put back up.

Also, Fatheads are way more expensive than I thought... I was thinking they were like $20 or something like that. :psyduck:

Exactly. I don't think that kid is going to want to invite his friends over to his house when he's in his late teens and brag about having Grrrrrrraaaaaave DIGGGARRR up on his wall.

Or maybe he will. Just imagine his reaction to the first naked woman he'll see in his life. I fear he'd end up like that kid in Stephen King's It who got attacked by Pennywise and it caused his hair to turn white.
