Any Papa Gino's commercial with a doorbell in it. It sounds exactly like my doorbell and it sends my dog into loving hysterics every time it comes on. She's fine with most TV doorbells but that's the only one that sounds exactly like the one that means OMG INTRUDERS MUST BARK gently caress gently caress JESUS.

You could train your dog to not be a spaz.

I've seen 2 Lea Michelle commercials and in both of them she stares directly at the camera while smiling and singing as if to say "aren't you so glad you get to hear me sing?" and all I can think is "no, not especially"

There is a new commercial for the Dodge Journey. It talks about how important it is to get out and have real adventures and says "no one talks about the web sites they want to visit when they die, or fills a photo album with pictures from an image search."

At the end of the commercial they mention that somewhere in the world are 3 hidden Dodge Journeys that you get to keep if you find them. How do you find them you might ask?

The clues are on YouTube....

I don't think it's really either bad or great, just kinda there. I would gladly watch this over any Miller/Coors commercial, though.

And I have yet to see any NFL season ad as knee-jerk infuriating as "SAAAAAAAAAAAVED BY ZEEEEEERO" yet.

It was OK until that idiot started singing, the gently caress was that supposed to be?

Also is this Whitney show trying to create the least believable couple ever or what? It's like a younger Angelina lookalike and some dumpy guy.

I have decided that my second least favorite thing in commercials, behind hearing people eat, is hearing people type. Do they really think if they don't include the sound of someone mashing on the loudest keyboard in the world that I won't understand that someone is typing? This is especially stupid when they use it for touchpad products like the iPad, it doesn't even HAVE a keyboard!

So the new autotrader ad has a guy on his couch with his dog and no other living creature in sight and he says "Why didn't you tell me autotrader also lists new cars?"

Those Best Buy "Game On" Santa ads are just terrible, especially because the moms in them are so loving smug.

Also, Santa's awesome. He brings gifts for free! :(

The one where the blonde lady slurps down her milk as loudly and annoyingly as possible might be the worst ad on TV.

I think that's the biggest issue I have with most ads right now, is when they make things sound loud and annoying on purpose. The new Guiness Black Lager commercial is in this category too. It doesn't make noise when I get goosebumps ad people.

I used Quibids for a while and I wouldn't quite call it a scam. It's basically not any different from any lottery or other game of chance. Someone is going to get the big ticket items for cheap, but the chances of that person being you is extremely slim.

One useful thing about the site though is the "buy it now" option which lets pay the full price of the item at any time, minus the value of whatever bids you have already sunk into that item.

So say there was a $100 gift card up for bidding and you bid on it 100 times ($60 total) and never won it, you could decide to just buy it outright for another $40.
You would take a hit due to taxes and shipping, but it's not as bad as being completely out of your bids and ending up with nothing.


I eventually quit using the site after I used up my first bid package since it was just too random. But overall I came out ahead as I won about $100 worth of gift cards with my initial $60 investment. (minus shipping fees)

So you can spend slightly over $100 to have $100 to spend in a limited location?

I think the reason it creeps me out so much is that I used to do special education assessments and other than the fact that she is reasonably attractive her persona is really no different than that of a mid-70s IQ high school student. If that is actually attractive/appealing to adults I don't even want to think about what that says for the human condition.

Target audience includes people who:

*Lift weights and go to the bar on the same day, which is pointless
*Cannot afford haircuts

Both of them are weird, but the new one where he seems depressed is even weirder. I used to understand commercials. Show someone that people will want to be using your product. Not creative, but simple enough. But who wants to be some lonely, sad shut-in with questionable communication skills who listens to poo poo music and talks to his phone all day? How does that make anyone want to use their product?

Also, does the new one tell him to not get fat when he asks about life?

So, the new Madagascar ads have made it to the radio, so now I hear "Da-da-dadada-dada-da-circus" a bunch of times a day at work. I can't wait for this movie to be out of theaters, and I hope that the DVD release commercials use a different bit. Goddamn am I sick of them.

Also, re: talking babies. The ETrade baby wasn't bad at first because it was strange, but not necessarily absurd. It was a baby making videos about giving financial advice to other babies because ETrade was easy enough for a baby to use. The lo-fi camera and constant framerate issues made it seem not only realistic to a home-made video, but also masked the poor lip-synching and did drop the baby into weird, uncanny valley stuff.

Now, he's out on golf courses making fun of adults for not using ETrade, and now it's in HD so it just looks completely creepy.

Also completely creepy: Babies moving like adults, ie: that Pepsi Next commercial.

The wedding ETrade one bothers me too due to one of the grossest men I have ever seen marrying a fairly attractive women. The one with "the general"
