My sympathy for you ran out about the five hundredth time I watched you bitch and complain about that 'so easy even a badadaseragagea' I can't even type it without becoming enraged anymore. You want it to stop applying to you? Get a loving haircut and a shave! Shut the gently caress up about it! We don't care anymore! Have they had a caveman commercial in like, the last year?

I know the DQ Man thinks it's cool and all, but when he blows bubbles with kittens in them, I just worry about what's gonna happen to the poor kittens when the bubbles pop and he's not around to catch them because he's busy beating Mary Lou Retton out of that drat pinata.

They revive them around Superbowl time, too, if I recall right. I'm not a sports person, but my sister's baby daddy is, so I must suffer.

There are a few different ones, and they're all "Let's go to the caveman for a reports on hockey!", and every time he tries to talk, there's something Geico nearby so he gets all offended. They're pretty insufferable, because there would be at least one every break.

Crowetron posted:Similarly, there's a commercial for...I dunno, something, where a guy's interviewing a lady, and he asks "Why should I hire you?" or something similar. And the woman replies "Well, I'm your wife" but I swear it sounds like she says "Well, I'm white!" There's a local commercial for some company (insurance?) that's called Conklin Feinmann, and it has a guy telling a group of potential employees "Do you think you have what it takes to sell Conklin Feinmann?" I keep hearing it as "conflict diamonds."

Since creatively bankrupt ad agencies apparently still can't stop making Mac/PC knockoff commercials, now we have Virgin Mobile doing one where they take the "cool Mac dude" role and put T-Mobile in the "borderline retarded PC guy" role. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cstANB3RHg I wasn't even aware Virgin Mobile still existed.

muscles like this? posted:I have an odd commercial question, I've noticed that a couple of different companies have started using Youtube footage. Are they paying people for these? Even paying Youtube or doing whatever needs done to broadcast those videos is probably a thousand times less expensive than producing a full ad of their own. Plus from the company's side, they look at it as "look, real people using our product/service" instead of paying spokesmen or actors to endorse it.

NaturalLow posted:To contribute, I can tolerate most commercials but the whole Arby's "Good Mood Food" songs are going to kill me. They're one of the few commercials that will make me change the channel immediately on sight. My kid has been singing this for a couple of days, along with the "JAYYYY GEEEEE WENTWORTH! CALL 877 CASH NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" and I feel like a terrible parent. This one drives me crazy. Is this guy making GBS threads that drat much? And, go get the drat extra roll yourself! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYZMlOFU4zM I think toilet paper commercials in general make me furious. The bears from charmin are basically a tv friendly way of discussing dingleberries.

I can't view youtube at work, but is this the one where the "hip, fun loving" couple make fun of T-Mobile and AT&T merging? Like the T-Mobile ads themselves, I'm torn between it being a bad ad, and the T-Mobile girl being hot as gently caress. Now, obviously it's a different girl in the Virgin Mobile ad, but she is also hot as gently caress. (And I suspect is Rachel Bilson, but I can't confirm...)

One commercial, or series of commercials that's really annoying me are the ones for a stool softener. I can't remember the brand, but it has a woman going around to various places and swiping microphones out of people's hands to announce how awesome it works. I know this bitch has done it at a wedding and an airport.

The drat hamburger helper commercials where the hand mascot forces the woman to read spam mail or opens a pop-up ad on her laptop to inspire the women to cook their lovely boxed "ethnic" food like "Mexican" or "Italian." This commercial has no reason to make me rage like it does. I think its the fact that they run them back to back combined with the hand forcefully exposing these women to read obnoxious poo poo so they can get back to cooking.

It annoys me because the children in her family now think that hamburger helper with a flavor packet is mexican food, or italian food. They'll probably grow up to be the kind of people to put ketchup on their well done steak.

Yeah I'm sure I sound spergy and snobby but I don't care, hamburger helper is trash and something you shouldn't really be feeding your kids on a regular basis. Or if you do, don't go telling them its italian food.

I saw the worst goddamn commericial today. It might even beat out the inducing ASPCA commercials. It's a PSA about the dangers of children drowning and was framed like a home video. You don't see the drowning happen, it's just off camera, but you hear the parents realize their kid is under the water and blue. And then you hear them jump in and drag him out. And then you hear them sobbing and trying to wake him up. I can't fault it if it prevents even one parent from doing something extremely stupid, but sweet Christ . I think it's by the same people that did the PSA about the woman who left her kid in the car in the summer.
