No, I want to shut my TV off every time that stupid family eats some Oreo fudge creme cookies and exclaims a silly phrase that sounds like it could be slightly naughty but really isn't. They can go Franklin Delano themselves. Yeah. It wasn't funny when the gum commercial ran with that EXACT same idea several years ago, so it'll be HILARIOUS now!

It seems like it was written for Ken Jeong but since he's too popular now its just some other short Asian man talking with a high pitched voice. I wonder how much they paid to loop a couple of seconds of "For What It's Worth" in the background?

I don't know why they don't just get the Russian guy back for more commercials, all the other ones just seem to try to copy them anyway and fail miserably.

From my experience Kroger customers are loving retarded. The company I work for does some rebate processing for various companies and one of the subsets for a rebate is specifically from Kroger. Now the rebate form lists specifically what they're supposed to buy but I want to say that 90% of the ones we've gotten from them have the wrong purchase.

Are you talking about the one where the dad says "Our son's an architect" and then they gently caress ofscreen after trading stupid false compliments because no other person would ever consider either of them? Because that commercial makes me really happy I'm gay. So does that one where the wife is pissed about her husband working out with her. I hate that the advertising industry thinks that every last straight couple hates each other. Back to what I originally ranted about...If sunchoked islands often get wrecked for straight men by ginger trollwives and dickspawn as this travel website's commercial suggests, thank the gently caress God for my proclivities. e: I think I used like nine vocab words.

That Charter internet commercial where the girl talking to her parents is subtitled with what she really means bugs the hell out of me for some reason. Maybe it's because her expression looks so totally fake and inhuman.

Okay, the first time I saw the Coors Light "bar" commercial I thought it was a dumb joke for a beer with a dumb gimmick (our beer is always cold so you can't even tell how lovely it tastes!), but while driving today I heard at least three different versions of that loving commercial on the radio, all with the exact same loving "bar = lawyer test" joke. Apparently some ad exec thinks it's the funniest loving thing ever, and that just shocks me.

Does anyone else have local commercials that are not only poorly produced but also EXTREMELY LOUD? Watching the local networks has become almost unbearable because at least once a break some car dealership/insurance company has to tell you about their fabulous deals at the max volume. muscles like this? posted:From my experience Kroger customers are loving retarded.

Yeah, none of the charter commercials have ever really been good, but that's a special case because it's on all the time and it keeps playing off the "hahah the dad has no mind of his own" thing that they seem to love. Also the dialogue is really forced and, certainly, inhuman.

I was watching TV last night and saw a commercial for the latest "Kids Bop" and noticed that they were prominently saying that one of the songs is Lady Gaga's "Born This Way." Sensing that something might be a little off by this I looked online and surprise surprise they use a sanitized version of the song that removes any reference to sexual orientation, race, wealth or nationality. It kind of misses the whole point of the song.

There's a new car ad on (actually a couple different ones), where they tell you to think about all the "missed opportunities" you've had in life, like not writing that book, asking out that girl, or becoming a musician, so don't let this car be another one of those! Making people regret major life decisions seems like an odd way to sell a car to me. Switching to an ad that amuses me, there's one on the radio around here for Washington State Online Schools or something, where they have a male and female voice speaking as if to their child (telling them how proud they are that their 6-12 grade kid is taking online classes at 10pm instead of attending a regular school). At the end of the ad, this happens (paraphrased): Female voice: I know that with Washington Online Schooling, you're getting a quality education on your own schedule, and that makes me proud. Male voice: Me proud. I just love that tacked on male bit at the end. I see what they were going for, the male and female voices are supposed to be making the same point, but by dropping the word "makes" (which would have given the correct impact they wanted), it now sounds like Bizarro has stepped in and touched up the end of the ad.

We have a local Kia dealer that is currently very proud to tell you how "Kia and its parent company sold more cars than Honda last month!" And that this was a reason to buy Kias. Is this kind of like saying you should go see a minor-league baseball team because their MLB affiliate is good? For the curious, Kia's parent company is Hyundai
