I don't think there's many ads written worse than Verizon's. There's never a sentence you'd hear coming out of a human's mouth.

To be fair, they aren't coming out of a human's mouth... they are thinking it.

I will eventually get sick of what is certainly the first in a series of "now I'm a hardcore take-no-prisoners bitch" T-Mobile Girl 2.0 commercials, but for now I'll just appreciate that she's back on my television being mysteriously attractive.

For one thing, her legs go allll the way up.

There's a subway commercial where a fireman steals another fireman's sandwich. Then he's a giant dick about it. Someone decided this wasn't annoying enough so they dubbed little kid voices in over it.

Subways been running commercials based on the theme of adults acting like children with children voices for a while now.

Most of them were based in an office environment.

Subway also runs separate commercials for their particular 5 dollar sub of the month, breakfast promotions, and another one that I'm forgetting.

I NEED that "Crazy Train" commercial to stop.

Some white family kidnapped some black kid and is now speeding around farmlands in the middle of Iowa. What happens when the ice melts in the black kid's cup and he can no longer make the shaking noise?

I don't think I've ever seen anyone scanning a QR code in an ad. Ever. They're up there with social media experts and Second Life when it comes to welfare for tech nerds caused by execs being clueless.

There's a Party City commercial that advertises their New Year's stuff.

Highlights are people having more fun with blowouts/paper horns/rattlers than real people will ever have in their entire life. Also, "WANT TO PARTY LIKE A BRO? WE GOT YOU COVERED"

This thread is making me want to re-watch all of the redhead Wendy's commercials to see if she's always been a huge bitch or just a bitch since the school play commercial.

Doh, I got that one mixed up.

I think they're a little different. The Eastwood ad at least a little more concise whereas the Dodge ad just felt like it took forever.

I detest the commercials but they are kind of brilliant.

The kids who watch it will be like "Heh, that kid is cool and funny"
The parents who watch it will say "Awww, that's so cute"

Someday, He'll call her and she will come running and fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and she'll pray, "I want to throw my TV into traffic"

Two most hilarious things to me about those commercials:

1. Find God's match for you
Granted I'm not an expert in how God works but I am suspicious that God would refer us to a paid website.

2. The song in the background.
The verse "I want to fall in love with you" is kind of hosed up. You want to?

In the end, I would rather watch another ChristianMingle commercial than another Zoosk commercial.

I have been watching a lot of hockey and this is one of the Skyline Chili commercials that are in constant rotation on my local channel.

I only bring this up because whoever edited the commercial didn't catch the fact that the kids mother is obviously coaching her kid on what to say, like its been rehearsed hundreds of times:

Turns out in later versions of the commercial, they got a dog.

And a Grandpa
And Kids

Anyway, I was looking for the commercials on YouTube since they really bother me and I had no luck, so I Google'd it and someone else was as bothered about them as I was. And that article includes the 3 versions of the commercial, and the article isn't that funny.

I'm pretty sure everyone in that commercial is in on the joke except for Michael Bolton's hair plugs.

That's an extremely shady business practice. And naturally they don't ever mention this in the commercials.

If you pay attention, you'll notice the name of the website in the commercial changes every few months even though its essentially the same commercial. Re: Quibids and Beezid which I'm pretty sure are the same company.

edit: I keep seeing the Safe Auto jingle commercial and its really annoying.
