This ad's been out for a few months, I believe, but this is the first I've seen online that's not a lovely recording of a camera aimed at a TV screen. Now that I hear it clearly, I realize that Tag Team rerecorded it as "POOP! There It Is!," and I just shake my head.

Subway is back to their annoying "Fast Food Restaurants are EVIL" ads, showing some fast food place that literally should be condemned serving food, and then cuts to their crap rear end food being prepared.

Also love how they still show ads for the HP Touchpad even through it's discontinued and heavily clearance.

I'll second that, that's pretty much my most hated commercial currently on because of that and her awful singing. Those stupid commercials showing a person's arms and voiceover doing AMAZING things with an HP was were terrible back when they did them with Jay-Z and Fiona from Shrek, I don't know what made them think anyone wanted to see them again.

The "Man Up" commercials have always annoyed me mostly because of the horrible premise, but this one is annoying because I can't place the blond guy in it. What else has he been in? I know I've seen him before. This is making me crazy. Was it another commercial or as small part on something? Help please.

The song is loud, and her voice is obnoxiously high. It's just an overall awful commercial, and I think she's awful at singing THAT song because of how annoying it is.

That's the whole point, most people wouldn't ignore physical abuse if it was happening in public so you shouldn't ignore it if you hear someone getting the poo poo kicked out of them though the apartment walls. It's easy to pretend someone doesn't need help or it's not your business when it happens in private.

While the point of the commercial is, as mentioned, that someone would be less likely to get away with doing that to a stranger in public than to their spouse at home, the Bystander Effect bears out that this sort of reaction isn't all that unlikely.

Not long ago I was in a crowded parking lot surrounded by several busy stores when I saw a man holding a woman's cell phone out of reach in one hand and trying to drag her into his truck with the other. He was pushing her and hitting in her in the face every time she tried to grab her phone. People were watching from outside the shops. Some were taking the long way around up the rows of the parking lot to sneak into their cars to drive away. The woman was screaming to the crowd, "For the love of God, help me! Do something!"

There were at least twenty people who saw the incident just in the minute that I was there, never mind those who saw it when it was escalating or those who stayed inside the shops to avoid it, and not only did no one kick the guy's rear end, but I later confirmed with the cops that I was the only person to call 911.

Not only do people have a hard time intervening in situations like this when there's a group of people around validating the instinct to watch and do nothing, but a lot of people just don't really care about domestic violence. Studies have shown that people are three times less likely to intervene in public violence between a man and a woman when they know they're a couple as opposed to when they know they're strangers.

Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.
It seems like every action movie trailer is using this robotic metal sound (best way I can describe it). You can hear it every five seconds on the Rise of the Planet of the Apes trailer. It's getting annoying.

I really want all the miller lite adds to go on for like 30s more, so we can see the one guy realize how lovely his friends are and vow to never hang out with them again. Or see the bitchy bartender from the older ones get stiffed on tips and fired for driving off business.

I'm really goddamn tired of seeing these two scammy commercials ad nauseam on any given channel at any given time: mycleanpc.com and beenverified.com.

I can't take another commercial break seeing the spokesman's neon pink lips plastered on my screen. Too much makeup or not enough, holy poo poo.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6boeAfMhao

I think it's the pregnant woman's ability to speak without moving her square jaw that's kind of unnerving to me, just like Mr. Pink Lips. Otherwise, this commercial sells paranoia pretty well. "It says here you were ticketed for going 5 miles over the speed limit on a country road sixteen years ago. YOU STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM MY FAMILY, YOU PEDOPHILE RAPIST MONSTER!"
