Anyone in the NYC area get the hilarious 1-800-Pain-Law commercial with the super nerdy black guy that sound like a cartoon character? It's been running for a while now but it's one of the older ones and seems to be getting phased out with slightly better quality commercials. "I had the right of way! I suffered pain! I needed law!"

This is a local commercial that played last Christmas, and for some unknown reason they just started using it again during the day and late at night on Comedy Central. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JF_j-3S6tBk Little John commercials are the fuckin' best. Also, the chick in the T-Mobile commercials seems to have something wrong with her left ankle, or she isn't used to standing in heels. I noticed that she wavers alot of that ankle when standing still, especially in the ad where she's dressed like a race car driver. It doesn't ruin anything, she's still cute, and it's barely there,but it's on of those things that I can't unnotice now, like the Fed Ex arrow. enigmahfc fucked around with this message at 18:58 on Aug 7, 2011 |

I HATE the cellphone commercial, so much that I can't even remember the company, where the husband comes in and says, "I got us a messaging plan" or the like, and the wife says, "and where is this nonexistant money coming from" and then something to the effect of "I should have married [some name]." What a hateful bitch. It's not funny, at all, she just comes off as a hateful bitch. I guess this is taking the "dunce husband, smart wife" routine to the next level?

I think it ranks up there with those horrible yogurt ads where the wife snaps at her husband for trying to find the Boston Cream Pie she's been secretly eating. Her back is turned to the fridge but she interrupts her phone call to turn and bitch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdRLYqP7ZoM I long for him to snap back, "I'm looking in my loving fridge, bitch, what does it LOOK like I'm doing!? drat."

A few years ago there was a PSA on PBS that just showed a baby monitor on table with the sounds of a baby screaming and coughing coming through it for a good 30 seconds before someone reaches over and turns the baby monitor off. I guess it was about second-hand smoke(I never watched to the end because SO.loving.ANNOYING) but jesus christ, how did they get the baby to scream and cough like that? Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

Reminds me of this commercial about the Adult Pertussis Vaccine, which has a similar delivery: listen to a baby cough and wheeze for 30 seconds. While I get that having whooping cough as a baby sucks, listening to what sounds like the same two coughs looped doesn't make me more sympathetic to it.

That AT&T ad that starts with some douchebag in Generic European Village saying "duh excuse me, my great grandfather used to live here" into his phone to translate to some bewildered old man. I like to imagine that if they had extended that scene the old man would've said "So loving what, you think I knew him just because I'm old?"

I know it's true from firsthand experience, but watching that cat wheeze and gasp for air broke my heart.  I'm glad I haven't seen the baby one, it'd probably hurt to watch even more.

Part-Time Robot posted:There was a PSA about secondhand smoke I saw a few times that had a cat coughing and wheezing for a good 15 seconds or so, then had a text screen mentioning feline asthma from secondhand smoke. When I lived in Pittsburgh, the local rock'n'roll station, WDVE, played a commercial talking about vaccinating your kids. And the background was a child with whooping cough and his concerned mother reassuring him. The cough was so over the top, people called in thinking it was a comedy bit and asking them to replay it!

Friends or coworkers asking for a bite of something that looks good isn't really uncommon so that doesn't as much bother me, but the kids voices are grating. That said, they're at least not nearly as bad as they were in those older spots in the office.

There's a longer version of that commercial where they argue about how to do it (on three or go) and then do best two out of three. I saw that version first, and only once. It makes more sense, but it's also more grating.

It's a dumb ad for other reasons but it sounds more like you're projecting your own issues on to it.
