I should have listened to my relatives who hate you too. I'm going to put rat poison in your oatmeal. Husband: Yes dear OK dear whatever you say dear. I'm sorry and it's true I'm a worthless human being. Who exactly is this targeted at?

Sporadic posted:Want this I saw this today and thought it was absolutely loving terrible. The worst thing about all of the 'DON'T STEAL MOVIES' commercials that have popped up in the past ten years is that all of us who haven't ever stolen a movie still have to sit through this schlock. If Hollywood wants to blame anyone for their lovely profits, they only have themselves to blame. I've barely been in a theater in the past 5 years because every movie coming out is absolutely terrible.

Box office sales are down because movies/snacks are expensive and everyone has a big-rear end TV now, but DVD sales have got to be dwarfing the VHS generation.

Doc Hawkins posted:People who can retain their sense of humor when a character comedically over-reacts to something inconsequential, perhaps. So you're telling me that in this day and age, comedy gold and having a sense of humor is equal to watching someone belittle and mentally abuse someone else for doing something positive for his wife and family in the absolute bitchiest, most condescending way possible? Am I supposed to laugh at the wife's "overreaction" to her husband signing up the entire family for free unlimited messaging (which I stress is free) while the wife has a huge greenhouse filled to the brim with multiple plants that probably costs (in total) hundreds of dollars a month to upkeep? Call me crazy and humorless, but that's not comedy, nor is it having a sense of humor; that's just a hosed up twisted form of Schadenfreude, and it's a terrible goddamn commercial. Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:The Honda (I think) commercial with the family in the car doing an a capella version of Crazy Train. Instant mute. Oh god, this commercial. If I had to ride with that family during a road trip, I'd probably stick a shotgun in my mouth and pull the trigger. While on the open highway. In the middle of one of their car sing-a-longs.

Yeah, as much as I like the WIP roadcasts, that ad got tiresome very quickly. e: WIP Appreciation Station up in here. On another "They ruined this song" note, I saw an ad this morning for Party City, I think, that used a poorly re-done Thriller in it. It was kids dancing around seemingly at random, singing Thriller. I've never been sadder about a commercial in my life. My sister told me it was an old commercial but it was the first time I saw it.

It's probably a matter of exposure, the Truvia song is far worse but the Arbys commercials come on like 100 times as often. How in the hell did the J.G. Wentworth song not get nominated though?

That's a good point: I think I've only seen the Truvia ones on cable stations like the Cooking Channel. I'm still not sure which is worse - original jingles that try to sound like real (pop) songs, or real songs that are re-purposed into jingles. Probably the latter, especially when they just play the chorus over and over (like in that creepy Hershey's "I Melt with You" commercial).

I can't see any of those "I Melt With You" commercials anymore without thinking of this thread. It always seemed pretty innocuous to me because I had never really listened to the song before, and now I just think of a goon the psoted "IT'S NOT ABOUT CHOCOLATE, HERSHEY! IT'S ABOUT loving!", and I laugh.

You Are A Elf posted:att histrionics Jeez, calm down a bit. Yes, it's true that a lot of the dynamics of many commercials now seems to be "couples loving hate each other. you are all in miserable loveless relationships and are constantly sniping at one another". The commercial's punch line is at the very end when she makes the "oh poo poo I should NOT have said that. oh god." face. It's a terrible commercial, yes, but there's no reason to start spitting bile about it. We still have Poop There It Is for that.

raditts posted:That Bush's Beans dog sure is a loving rear end in a top hat, too. Why does he keep attempting to ruin his owner's business? Where does he think the dog food supply is going to come from after that? I don't like these commercials where some company makes a big deal about their secret recipe. Protip: the common man does not care about your secret recipe. Even if I knew the recipe for coke, the stuff is still so cheap and plentiful there's no way it would be worth my while to make it myself. And when I buy fried chicken from a drive through, baked beans in a can or any other pre-packaged food item it's not because it's better than a version of that dish I could make myself (it's almost certainly worse), it's because it's more convenient than making it myself. Also that AT&T ad is worse than poop there it is. At least poop tried to be clever and funny on some level, the AT&T commercial was just spiteful and depressing.

Probably the latter, especially when they just play the chorus over and over (like in that creepy Hershey's "I Melt with You" commercial). I'm definitely going with the latter, for only one reason: a local car dealership by the name of Gurley Leep once repurposed the opening to "La Bamba" from "La-la-la-la, la-bamba" to "Drive-a-Gur-ley-Leep Hond-a". This was back, as far as I can remember, starting at least in 1990. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK06QxtC6PA They've been doing this for over 20 loving years.

Dog food that is classified as "organic" is without a doubt, much better for your dog in general. This isn't to say "non organic" dog food isn't, but organic dog food will always have a better formula (meat as the primary/heaviest ingredient, grains, etc. - as opposed to many cheaper pet foods that will have corn or chicken by-product aka bones and random organ meats as their primary makeup). It isn't about spoiling your pet at all, so if that's the message you are receiving from the ad you are clearly just misinformed.

And by "better ingredients" I mean they don't have things like corn or wheat filler in them. It's not "organic" is better than "non-organic", really it's just good quality food is better for your pet than the low quality stuff.
