I think teeth whitener commercials would be better if they didn't use an actress who already had perfectly white teeth when she was complaining about them being yellow.

The NAD didn’t like the signal reliability claims versus cable that are made in the “Creepy Rob Lowe” commercial, the shorter comparative customer service wait time suggested in the “Painfully Awkward Rob Lowe” spot, and the better picture and sound quality implications drawn in the “Far Less Attractive Rob Lowe” ad.

To be fair I could totally believe DirectTV is just as bad as Comcast at signal reliability, customer service wait times, and picture/sound quality

DirecTV is about a billion times better than Comcast in every way.

Actually, it's more than that. One of those flip books of a rock rolling down a hill is about a billion times better than Comcast in every way.

Maybe so, but I work support for hotels who carry directv and anytime they get snow or rain we start getting all the calls saying directv is down. Cable is never going to be affected in that way. I don't see how directv can claim what they claim when adverse weather can totally knock it out.

Getting brunch is more important to me than other peoples lives.
I keep seeing the Xfinity commercials where the person is moving and people keep giving them dumb excuses why they can't help her move, on no notice, without any kind of a please or thank you. Just "hey--can you help me move?" followed by righteous indignation when they say no or have an excuse. Like, a) why are you waiting until the last minute to ask your friends for help, and b) why aren't you kissing their rear end like you've never kissed before? Helping someone move is one of the most thankless favors you can do for a friend, and you don't get to be mad about them saying no when you ask them the day of, when you're literally piling boxes on top of each other.

I mean, one of the guys is out on a boat in the middle of a drat lake, and you think it's okay to just ask him out of nowhere to change his plans and do you a big favor? Or a friend who's getting a manicure is supposed to just mess her nails up because you can't plan? When there are professionals you can pay, who can get it done in a couple of hours? Nope, you don't get to be mad about that.

^^edit: I hate that one too. The song itself is bad enough, but then you've got a bunch of goofy diapered babies dancing around to "I'm bringing booty back!" Why, WHY choose that song? There are a zillion other songs that would be more appropriate. How about "Happy" by Pharrell? Or, really, just any other song that's not ostensibly "skinny bitches suck and boys like to gently caress fat girls anyway"?

Somehow I'm far more offended by this inappropriate commercial music choice than the cruise ships being advertised with a song about smack, or the coal ads using Sixteen Tons.
I think it's because there's no way anyone involved couldn't have known how inappropriate this song is for a commercial full of loving babies.

Schick has a new bonkers commercial for their ladies bikini trimmer. It has three women in bikinis standing behind tiny crotch level bushes. Two are trying to trim them with scissors and doing a bad job while the third uses the Schick to make a tidy heart.

I used to watch that commercial repeatedly (with the godawful sound muted) to search for any sign of insincerity on the part of the actors, and there is none whatsoever. They created dancing homunculi to perform this abjectly ridiculous routine.

It still makes me feel like I'm back in 9th grade in the mid-90s.
But then again, if a Mortal Kombat game doesn't give you that feeling then they probably did something wrong.
