To be honest, I like it a bit more than the original. I think its due to the fact that it's no longer a single loud shrill "WEEEEEE".

I think when it comes to worst local ads are the clear champions. poo poo that doesn't get advertised in more than one city because they only have locations in one city. Like Alpine Loans. Wait for the end where the 'loan officers' or whatever blow kisses at you while holding fake flowers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbNw9Hq3FKA edit: and this doesn't even begin to address the moral cesspool these loanshark businesses represent.

I submit the Nissan Frontier Snowboarding ad for evisceration. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95bpVJJlI6s Remember...fantasy! (And bad CG) More douche packed into this ad than a box of Summer's Eve.

Anyone remember those truck ads they run this past summer that were just some guy singing slogans in the background while a manly voiced man said how manly the trucks were? All I remember is background guy singing something like "How cool is that?" while manly voiced guy said something manly. I'm not describing it well but it felt ridiculously over the top, even by truck ad standards.

The whole 'throat full of broken glass' cliche has been going on for a while now, typically to promote MADE IN AMURICAH gently caress YEAH products. Carhartt instantly comes to mind. This one was on constantly a few months ago. While I guess I understand what they are trying to say, they fail hopelessly at saying it. The voiceover makes zero sense. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGlhmoXQLdM Then they decided to replace it with this gem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq2Ykt_8dLo Right, you jackass, because if the jackets had said 'survive the unthinkable cold' and your assface children froze to death, you'd be suing the company.

That commercial for St. Ives lotion just annoys the poo poo out of me now, and it's probably a combination of it being obnoxiously twee and playing all the drat time.

I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but I want to see every lovely band that's ever been featured in a FreeCreditReport.com commercial get bottled a la the Blues Brothers at Bob's Country Bunker. Except without the being shielded by chicken wire bit.

After seeing another one of those Western Sky loan ads, I decided to look them up. If you borrow $5000, you'll end up paying over $40,000 back. "Yes, it's expensive" is the understatement of the loving century!

DJExile posted:Isn't that if you hold the loan for like a year or longer though? I thought most of these places were intending them as short-term. Yes. In my dealings with the short-term-loan places, it's best to pay that poo poo off quick before the fees pile up. That's why a lot of them are billed as "payday advances", since, if you have a job, you can pay that money out within two weeks at the most. It was something like $20-$25 for every $100, which, while it's a lot, it's still better than the $35 dollars for an overdraft fee at the bank.

According to their site, the $5k loan has a payback schedule of 84 payments of $486.58. I suppose you could pay it off earlier, but I imagine more than a few people wouldn't.

Yeah I've always understood those places to have enormous APRs and such but that was just because they intended the loans to be short-term. Loaning out money for 2-3 weeks at something like 4% interest would basically be useless.

angerbeet posted:http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3451594 This really does look incredible -- except for the biscuit itself, which is something I begrudgingly acknowledge McDonald's does a brilliant job of when it's right. They come out incredibly fluffy and soft in the middle, but the outsides are intensely buttery and have a kind of fried texture to them that I've never seen replicated. Again, there's plenty of room to screw 'em up, but when they're right, they have this pillowy denseness that lets them be really flaky and crunchy on the outside and then as you bite through them into the rest of the sandwich, you end up tasting everything else. I abhor McDonald's commercials and refuse to go there out of protest, but I will admit that I'll always have a soft spot for their breakfast stuff. It's usually pretty cheap, too, which is rarely something I can say about anything in San Francisco.

You're just going about your day, no warning sign that your life is about to get a sudden influx of girls dressed up like cats and dudes slipping in pee or piss or something. Then your day is ruined, maybe your week. I introduced them to this thread and I am so, so sorry for doing so.

Maybe in some ironic way, or unexplainable way. I welcome the fuddruckers->butttruckers->buttfuckers de-volution that is coming too.

What made TurboTax think their new commercial is any good? If you want to compare your product to something that always works and helps efficiency, GPS isn't the one to compare it to. Everyone knows multiple people who have stories about GPS loving them up, even if they themselves haven't experienced it. Add in the popular news stories of people getting stuck in the snow for days because of their gps sending them through an off-the-beaten-path road, driving off cliffs, onto train tracks, and all sorts of other things GPS have done. There's no way I'd want a tax service that works like a GPS.
