After seeing the Hardees cheddar biscuit commercial I think I need my ears cleaned. With an ice scraper.

Speaking of a horrible tech-based company who has yet to put out a single ad that isn't offensively stupid: Tiger.com.

It really does sound like they're saying Orgy Wonderland. Hmm. Also, on the subject of misheard awful jingle lyrics, that loving ninja car commercial. It has the Asian chick from the North Korea episode of Always Sunny (I think?) and it just keeps playing what sounds like "I'm a ninja, I'm a horny ninja." I'm pretty sure it's actually saying "hoodie ninja," but I don't know what the gently caress hoodies have to do with anything. The song is annoying as gently caress and keeps getting stuck in my head.

For the longest time I've thought the name of this thread was "bring out the McNugget Bong" as if Mcdonalds was running some add to appeal to stoners or something. Anyways, any add on Canada's Comedy Network is just painful to watch, particularly the ads for Picnicface. Once upon a time they made funny youtube videos, but now they make terrible unfunny skits involving Andrew Bush, a fellow from my home town who's ego would enable him to drive in a car pool lane. Maybe there are people who are attracted to a show by a series of Honks by various characters.

I've never had a problem with gamestop or their ad's (or at least the ones with the bunny thing) that said i can't stand the battlefield 3 ad. I got 99 problems is an awful song mashed up with other awful songs way too much. Hell they don't even have to put music in the drat ad all they need to do is show carnage and destruction and most men 18-54 will watch in awe. quote:Also, on the subject of misheard awful jingle lyrics, that loving ninja car commercial.

It's supposed to be "hoodie ninja". Problem is they're saying it too fast and it comes out horny ninja. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_tn_HVdB9s . I've never seen an asian drive so well

There's an add that runs on Hulu for Cirque du Soleil's Iris show. The man narrating it starts off with a french accent, then drops it completely, then affects it again and then drops it completely for the final length. It's really annoying.

I swear I just saw a version of this commercial with different audio. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtzLnfxGO30&feature=related There were kids chanting "Yeah!" in the background while the announcer just said random exclamations like "awesome!" "go!" "give your soul wings to soar!" It was bizarre.

Ebay girl is pretty horrible, still, I haven't seen anything this year for back to school or Christmas that comes close to "are you rockstaring* me?". Come on marketing guys. *: it's that look you get, when you dress like a rockstar.

The part I hate more than anything is that fucker going "POWER TO THE PLAYERS" at the end of the ad with the unbelievably nerdy sounding voice. Are there really people out there that eat this poo poo up? (Judging by those YouTube comments, I guess there are. It's almost enough to make me feel ashamed to play games at all  )

I just loaded what seemed like a greatest hits of commercials into the video server of the TV station I work at. Guess I get to enjoy seeing The Clapper, Ove-Glove, and ChiPet spots all for the next two months.

Anyone who watches NBC shows OnDemand has probably been through the Hell that is FIVE loving trailers for In Maude We Trust playing throughout a given half hour program. It's the same ridiculously long, painfully unfunny trailer every time! At this point, I'd rather watch a full commercial break of different commercials than see that poo poo again.

The only recent ads that infuriate me these days are the Arby's "Good Mood Food" ones. I can watch/listen to the commercials but if I hear the jingle at the end, it pisses me off an unbelievable amount for a reason I cannot explain. Even if I am in the other room and I hear the 2-second-long song, I will get upset. It's just one of those strange mystery triggers. The mute button is my friend.

Like I imagine she really bitches at him about chicken sandwiches when they are not on camera and he hate fucks her when she comes home yet again with more chicken sandwiches, and schemes to kill her with poisoned wendy's chicken sandwiches.

Not that I hate it, but it just keeps coming back: How old is the Hershey's bell choir Christmas commercial? And for that matter, what other long-lived Christmas commercials are out there? I swear I saw the Liz Taylor White Diamonds ad last winter that looked like it was fresh out of 1993.

The Hershey's Kiss bell choir commercial is from 1989 according to this answers.com question with a reference to the Hershey Archives (I always thought it was 1987), and White Diamonds came out in 1991 the same time as that old rear end commercial. Some other long running commercials: - M&M's "HE DOES EXIST!" "They do exist!" commercial with Santa and the M&Ms (from about 1997; still shown every year) - Folgers' Coffee commercial with Peter coming home on X-mas day and waking everyone with coffee (circa 1985; ran for many moons until about 10 years ago) - Fruity Pebbles' commercial with Fred finally giving Barney some cereal (circa 1988; same situation as the Folgers' commercial) You Are A Werewolf fucked around with this message at 04:50 on Nov 15, 2011 |

Wagonburner posted:Do Pantene, Selsun, Motorola, Skoal, Cadillac and on and on make any sense in English? They're not really that bad of gibberish. Pantene is named after the original primary ingredient, panthenol. Selsun comes from one of its ingredients, selenium sulfide. Skoal is a toast exclamation in some Nordic languages. Motorola is Motor + Victrola because they were making car radios in the '30s. Cadillac is the name of the French settler who founded the first settlement near Detroit in the 1700s.
