When it comes to those Ford truck commercials with the words that pop up on the screen as Dennis Leary talks, I think of two things.

1. We watch TV so we don't have to read.

2. Any idiot can make a commercial in the same style, but the only ones that I've seen that do it are local commercials.

This poo poo has gone on for a couple of years during football. Find a new style, and get a different spokesperson. Dennis Leary rubs me the wrong way- not so much because he probably ripped off Bill Hicks, but because he just seems obnoxious. And I think he's a Republican too.

Awesome.

I never cared that much for those "do the jingle" commercials, but the level they went to with this is awesome. I mean...the past year or year-and-a-half they've had these commercials on the air, they were also filming brief scenes of this break-dancing guy just so they could put it all together in a cool vignette/mash-up thingy.

Dedication.

The funny thing about it is that it seems that in most of these the actors in the commercial had no clue it was going to happen.

There was a time last year when it seemed like 90% of commercials on TV were doing that creatively bankrupt "the words being spoken are appearing on the screen with wacky accompanying pictures" thing, I'm glad it's limited to only lovely Ford(?) commercials with Denis Leary now. Although I'd still like him to be run over by a Ford truck.

It even has a flap in the back so you can poopy.

The one where the blonde lady slurps down her milk as loudly and annoyingly as possible might be the worst ad on TV.

I think that's the biggest issue I have with most ads right now, is when they make things sound loud and annoying on purpose. The new Guiness Black Lager commercial is in this category too. It doesn't make noise when I get goosebumps ad people.

Yeah, that's Aubrey Plaza from Parks and Rec. She's quite cute, but not in that commercial. I guess it fits her personality, but it just made her seem rather bitchy instead of really dry.

Maybe it's because I'm just getting old and aren't "with it" anymore, but I was just discussing with a friend a few days ago how comedy today can either only be awkward situations (with a quick zoom up to the awkward person's face so everyone can point and laugh at the stupid idiot awkward baby moron), or people being condescending arrogant smug prick assholes to one another for no apparent reason other than to one-up the other person being a bigger condescending arrogant smug prick rear end in a top hat in order to be "funny." These commercials are taking the latter to a whole other level. Holy poo poo.

I honestly don't know why I'm so mad at these two commercials; I mean, they're just commercials that will be gone by the New Year, but holy poo poo those are just mean-spirited for a time when people should be in good spirits. Also, seconding Santa bringing stuff for free :(

another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

"Crazy Train" Honda commercial has to go. Now. I don't want to see the Asian girl go "AYE Aye aye" ever again.

I mentioned Christmas ads that have run forever (Hershey's bells, Liz Taylor White Diamonds, etc.) in my last post. I was reminded today of another one which is on a more local level, is equally recycled, and is one of the creepiest commercials I can remember seeing.

It's an anti-drug PSA aired in Southeast Ohio sponsored by a behavioral health center. I doubt I'll be able to find it online, but the commercial starts with a still picture of a wreath and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" playing in the background on a deep organ. As the narrator describes the horrors of drugs and addiction, the background image changes to a pile of pills, syringes, and other drug paraphernalia. The playback of the song slows until it grinds to a halt, synced up with the narrator's speech ending with the warning to "get help...before the music stops".

The commercial looks like it was made in the '80s and still gets the message across by being extremely creepy. In fact, it probably loops endlessly when you arrive in hell.
