Yankee fans probably have heard the phrase "Derek Jeter's got an edge" so many times during games. It's in a commercial for tri-state (NJ, NY, CT) Ford dealers, and they say it about ten times during it. They seem to show it about once per inning. Stop it, Ford.

ASPCA needs to get off my TV. It's not enough that their commercials are tragic, it's also that they're typically a minute long. One of them even says, "If you are disturbed by the images you see here, call now." Don't blackmail me.Bliggers- posted:My favourite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksTnfz-F8KE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NsUgLOzVWQ SamBishop posted:I hate both of you so much for having to look this up.

Speaking of New York, they've started showing that Tri-State Ford dealer "Derek Jeter's got an edge" commercial again in my area (the one where multiple people say "Derek Jeter? He's got an edge!" before cutting to Jeter in a Ford). However, now they show it on every station that I watch in addition to showing it between innings during Yankee games. They stopped showing it for about a month, but that was the calm before the storm.

Believe it or not, someone has managed to outdo ASPCA (the organization with the commercial that has "I Will Remember You" playing in the background while pictures of sad animals scroll by) with regards to making really loving disturbing commercials. That would be St. Jude's, which has sad music in the background while showing children with cancer. What are they trying to accomplish here? The only consolation is that it's a commercial of normal length, as opposed to the minute-long guiltfest that are ASPCA commercials.

If the Super Bowl is the place for the best commercials, then the MLB Postseason is the worst. I suppose that having some generic pop group singing a song a million times a game (I hope someone else gets the reference I'm making) is better than Dane Cook's shouting during the 2007 MLB Postseason, though.That DICK! posted:I just saw an ad for Dr. Pepper 10 that went super heavy on the "MAN STUFF" bullshit.

When it comes to those Ford truck commercials with the words that pop up on the screen as Dennis Leary talks, I think of two things. 1. We watch TV so we don't have to read. 2. Any idiot can make a commercial in the same style, but the only ones that I've seen that do it are local commercials. This poo poo has gone on for a couple of years during football. Find a new style, and get a different spokesperson. Dennis Leary rubs me the wrong way- not so much because he probably ripped off Bill Hicks, but because he just seems obnoxious. And I think he's a Republican too.

I'm pretty sure this has been posted before because it's been on TV for a couple of months, but there's a Time Warner Cable commercial out there that starts with "calling all vampire-chasing cooking show fanatics." And it starts out with a Twilight-style vampire instead of the cape-wearing fanged type. I know that talking about what "real vampires" are has become pretty tired, but I can't help but feel a little upset when I see that's what our culture thinks of vampires now.

Hey guys, it's football season again! Guess what that means! If you guessed "new Ford F-150 commercials where Dennis Leary speaks and the words appear on the screen as he's speaking them," you're absolutely right! They've been doing this kind of lazy commercial for at least three years. Give it up.

It looks like our theme for this year's Major League Baseball Postseason commercials is Bruce Springsteen. That's already better than last year's "Written In the Stars" theme and 2007's "Dane Cook being a stupid idiot" theme.

A follow-up to my post about MLB Postseason commercials: another annual postseason tradition is which awful show that nobody will watch is going to be promoted by TBS on every commercial break. Nobody remembers The Frank Caliendo Show for anything other than the commercials during baseball. This year, we're going to be seeing a lot of King of the Nerds.

I hate how every single Apple product commercial is the exact same thing: a white background showing what the iPhone, iPad, or other product can do. Compare them to the commercial for the Google tablet, which shows far more imagination than the "buy our product because it can do this cool thing!" premise of Apple commercials. I guess they don't need to put much into advertising because of the built-in audience.

The latest Sprint commercial about their unlimited data plans made me realize something: Sprint makes a better iPhone commercial than Apple does. Apple and Ford are the death of creative advertising (Ford for their lazy F-150 commercials, Apple for every single commercial they make). Also, have we reached a point where you can't make music without including the voice-mutilating technology known as autotune? If the latest Five-Hour Energy commercial is any indication, we have.

What is the song that plays on the commercials for Grudge Match? Because I'm hearing it play on no less than three other commercials in circulation right now, and it also played on commercials for R.I.P.D. There are definitely worse songs to oversaturate on TV and radio, but enough is enough.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JC6AzmXrNbU My sister visited last month and mentioned this commercial that she found to be hilarious. Before she mentioned it, I had not noticed it at all. But since hearing about it, nary a commercial break goes by without this being aired. There are actually two versions of this- one where the Russian-sounding couple at the end clink their glasses together, and one where they don't. It's got that low-budget local commercial charm, but I'd appreciate it if they played it a little bit less. Also, notice that the video title says it's a "NEW" commercial. It was uploaded five years ago. A search for "Grand Prospect Hall commercial" on YouTube brings up one from 1986, so New York area viewers will be seeing this on their TVs for a long time yet.
