Dear Golden coral why the hell would you ever put out a chocolate waterfall. I can see them at weddings or maybe some kind of place in vegas, but not your cheap ole fast food buffet style place.

Can you even imagine how freaking nasty that thing is going to get after a few hours of the public using it?

The worst part of the recent Golden Corral commercials is a bit at the end that says 'come join us for Thanksgiving!'

This I can actually understand. A lot of people out there have to work thanksgiving and don't have time to cook. As cheap as the place is at least their food is semi decent compared to mc donalds. Also older folks and plain ole people that have no idea how to cook.

A lot of people also just don't want to spend the time or money on what is involved. We're hosting our first Thanksgiving and it is loving expensive and will take forever to cook, I don't blame anyone who doesn't want to/can't go through all that.

I think the worst ad campaign on TV right now is Jennifer Lopez for Fiat 500. If the ad agency that created them is trying to get me to relate to Jennifer Lopez driving around New York City in a Fiat 500, they are failing miserably. I don't give a poo poo about Jennifer Lopez. I don't give a poo poo about the new Fiat 500. I've never been to or lived in NYC at any time in my life (although I'm not badmouthing it here), so I couldn't care less about the commercial, and yet, every commercial seems to go like this:

"These are my streets of New York. These are my people of New York. You see that establishing shot of the Chrysler Building and the Empire State Building? That's New York. The streets of New York are where I'm from, and New York is the place where I roam the streets. New York is my home, and my home is New York. New York New York New York New York New York New York New York New York New York New York New York New York New York, oh, and by the way, I'm Jennifer Lopez driving the streets of New York where I grew up, and this is a Fiat 500 driving around New York on the streets of New York. And just in case I didn't mention it, New York, because I am from New York."

If you thought the commercials were bad, Jennifer Lopez is shilling for Fiat so much right now that she literally had a Fiat car on the stage with her while she performed at the American Music Awards this year. :psyduck:

The New York thing however is just the latest incarnation of her need to constantly remind people that she's from "the streets" and keeping it real as "Jenny from the block" even though she's been famous/filthy rich for quite some time now. It's kind of her gimmick.

On that note, why are people from New York so obsessed with letting people know how loving cool their place of birth/residence is? More so than any other state it seems. You never see a dude like "Straight out the streets of New Hampshire, bitch!"

Anywho, I forget what company this commercial is for, but there's ad out where a guy is at a gas station and the guy behind the counter is telling him about a contest to go to the Super Bowl next year, and he says something like "You can win a trip to Super Bowl EX EL VEE EYE!" :bang:

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.

I love the Hershey's one. It's so simple, no annoying voices or jingles. Along with the ones already mentioned, Corona brings back their commercial each year, the one with the lights on the palm trees. Another simple one.

The other one I'm really hating right now is the TJ Maxx/Marshalls/Home Goods one, where people are running through the mall singing about how much better the stores outside the mall are for shopping. Why would someone bring bags from other places into the mall? Why would a bunch of people happy start running with those weird people? It's so stupid.

They've been running a remake of sorts of that commercial for the last couple years, only the sister is older and they spend the next 30 seconds exchanging creepily suggestive glances.

The one that is annoying me so much now is a Hulu ad, which means I see it waaay to much.

Its the Corona ad, where a girl is snowboarding and it switches back and forth from her snowboarding on snow to sand and back. Finally she reaches the bottom and meets her guy friend who is sitting drinking corona. She asks "you know what my favorite run is?" while taking off her snowboard. He responds "The last one!" and she smiles and sits and drinks a corona

If the last run is your favorite run, then why the hell did you go snowboarding in the first place? Just sit at home and drink corona if you think its so much better than snowboarding.

I dunno it just annoys me, whats your favorite part of your sport/hobby? When i stop doing it!

I always thought it was mostly people from the city of New York that seem to have this urge to remind everyone that they're from there. At least the people I've known from other parts of New York state don't seem to have any more pride about their home state than anyone else.

On the other hand, every Californian I've met couldn't go 5 minutes without trying to find some way to remind me they were from California and how much better it was there.

Everyone thus far in this thread has been talking about the city of New York. Anytime I've met someone from NYC, they just say "I'm from New Yawk," so it's pretty simple just to omit the city part, and everyone will still know what that person's talking about; thus, "New York" meaning "New York City." You never hear anyone saying they're straight off the streets of Schenectady, now, do you?

But that news is amazing. I'm actually surprised that commercial wasn't filmed in Vancouver, B.C., Canada since it's pretty much the stand-in for every major metropolitan city of the U.S., but I'm sure it was too much of a hassle for J Lo to go there :nyd: Here's to hoping I won't have to see her self-congratulate and pat herself on the back anymore for having grown up in a major city like billions of people on this Earth have anywhere.

And I'm still rolling my eyes and thinking that. I thought was sappy, but sweet.

Speaking of, not only is Truvia completely disgusting thanks to an aftertaste that makes Aspartame seem like it's actual sugar, but those jingles are infuriatingly bad. They were nominated for all kinds of "worst commercial" awards and yet they just. Keep. Going.
