Just realized today that annoying girl from e-surance ad is now in an ad for dog treats. I must learn her name so I can destroy her career.

I've had quite enough of that insurance commercial with the web programmer who makes the stupidest facial expressions emailing Mr. Whitey McWhiteguy's "online dating profile" to everyone.

Mylife.com is the scummiest commercial I have seen in a long time. Some poor old lady 6 people searched for me!  Maybe it's the office and they want me back  ------- Bikini Zone is also driving me crazy since I wear headphones when I watch TV and the audio levels are all hosed up (the left channel becomes distorted and louder than the right channel) Call Me Charlie fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Jul 4, 2011 |

I stumbled onto a pretty amazing infomercial the other day when flipping channels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2FQPGkcDL8 I don't actually speak Spanish, but the gist of it seems to be that you rub this lovely goop all over yourself, then within the hour you transform into your skinnier twin sibling! It's not in this video, but one of the people he brought on stage was a woman who just could not zip up her dress because she was just too fat. Except she wasn't, at all, and the dress had about a foot of room inside it. Made it a bit less amazing when she came out with the dress all zipped up.

She's gotta be wearing some sort of fat cummerbund or something, because that fat bounce looked like rubber and didn't fall out of her shirt. Then she took it off for the "after" shots.

Memphis-area stations used to (still?) run PSAs about the dangers of homemade bug killer. Constantly. I never imagined that there was an epidemic of people making pesticides in their garages and poisoning people's grandchildren. I was wrong. I've looked for the ads on Youtube since I moved away, but no one has ever uploaded them.

There's this Brita water bottle commercial that's been airing frequently. I can't find a video for it but it has an eskimo and a shrill yuppie woman with the most smug and annoying tone of voice. :"OH YOO HOO! BROWN PERSON! DRINK MY SUPERIOR TAP WATER FROM THE MALL INSTEAD!"

Sudden Guts Pill posted:This is a pretty stupid reason to hate a commercial, but the same drat commercial has been playing in front of every single blip video I've watched in the past week (and I watch a fair amount of blip videos). I forgot what it was even for, I think an HTC phone. But it begins with some piano notes and a guy saying "YOU are the next trending topic..." and ends with a little girl singing a song, of which only four words are audible until it's cut off for more narration.

Adult Swim is messing with my mind by playing this really soothing classical song while showing a film clip of some anime. It's a girl on a motorcycle with what I can only assume are cat ear fittings on her helmet. Come on. Even if I was a cat ear anime girl I could wear a normal helmet like people with regular human ears!

She kinda bothered me at first, but then she grew on me, I guess. She's not overly quirky like most girls in commericals, so maybe that's why. Back on topic, I forget what phone it's for, but whoever thought the commercial with the girl screaming at the top of her lungs at a picture of a spider was a good idea can gently caress right off. Commericals are loud enough in the first place, now this one just has screaming. e: Oh, man, a Farmers insurance commerical just played on the radio with J.K. Simmonds, and it was kind of like listening to a Cave Johnson bit. I like that commercial. SpacePig fucked around with this message at 14:52 on Jul 5, 2011 |

I don't even get the point of that commercial. I guess they could be trying to say that their screens are really lifelike, but from what I remember they don't even say anything to that effect. And anyway you can actually see the phone's screen on TV and can tell it's a phone with a picture of a spider on it. It'd be a pretty decent commercial for LSD though.

I hate the audible.com commercials that make it sound like reading is some crazy tedious chore that no real person has time for. The current one has a woman talking about how her grandmother listens to audiobooks, and her tone of voice is full of smug disdain at the concept of ever having an interest in something her grandmother would do. Then we learn that audible.com is different than her grandmother's books on tape, because these days you can listen to them on your ipod at the gym. Rather than, you know, sitting alone at the home hoping that your shithead grandchild will cut into her busy audiobook-fueled workout schedule and call you.

They do mention the colors and screen resolution as I recall so that's something, and if you're going to sell it on that point, I'll even buy the girl's freakout (loud and annoying as it is), but when you're showing your phone getting smashed to poo poo, that's probably not how you want to show the thing off.

It was a samsung infuse that was the spider phone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcr2uWkJkzI I remember it cause I read about this one and a 4.5" non-pentile amoled display sounded cool enough that I had to go into an ATT store to see one. It was awesome. The samsung touchwiz software and weird filesystem running underneath was not. Vin BioEthanol fucked around with this message at 15:51 on Jul 5, 2011 |

Similarly stupid, there's this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vqeXaa1pw8 I'm fairly sure that commercial wasn't made to encourage people to buy a Kindle, but actually to encourage Kindle owners to be smug about owning a Kindle. I mean, if their demographic were people without Kindles, they wouldn't be trying to make people without Kindles look like giant morons, right? Also if that woman in the commercial (the character) were a real person I'd be 100% positive she'd never read a book in her life. Which means she'd already be a Kindle owner.

I mean if she's folding down pages instead of using a bookmark, she clearly doesn't mind a little superficial damage.

Not only are Wendy's commercials terrible, they also make no sense. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsBwtfLvLJ4 I've never met a single person who's ever eaten a frosty on a beach. Or anyone who's ever wanted to. However, I'd love to "Video Chat with Wendy".

Any time a massive advertising agency's board of directors meets up with a massive <whatever> company's board of directors, and they both try to think of something that will seem natural and appeal to real non-millionaires, they end up doing the exact opposite. Come the gently caress on Wendy's, even McDonald's isn't retarded enough to have "video chats" with Ronald McDonald.
