My dad came in tonight and asked me if I knew the name of that loving "SOMEBODAY LEFT THE GAAAAYYYYYT OOOOHHHHHPAN!!!" song in that Capital One (I think) commercial because he loves it. He was not loving with me. I wanted to smack him.

Maxwell Lord posted:Heh, this was a joke on an old Doctor Who episode ("Remembrance of the Daleks"). The Doctor and Ace see a van with some weird looking aerials on it, the Doctor says "What do you suppose that is?" and Ace says "I dunno, TV detector van?" (They're in 1963.) "The Young Ones" built part of an episode around the TV detector man showing up to bust them because they hadn't paid their license fee.  Speaking of British stuff, on HGTV there's commercials for "Love it or List It" that play this almost-but-not-quite take on the Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go" that bugs the poo poo out of me because they never quite get around to starting the song. In a similar vein, there's also a commercial that airs quite frequently on that channel (I think it's for Lowes) that sounds damned close to "U.S. 80s-90s" by the Fall. Neither of these are bad things necessarily, more that it's just annoying because it makes me want to hear the full song when they air.

Valentine's Day ads are getting kind of crass this year, I've seen at least two separate ads (one for the new Twilight movie on DVD and the other for some flower thing) that tell guys to buy these for their girlfriend because, while the guy himself might not like it, if he does he'll be getting sex later.

Yeah, DeBeers has taken that joke Family Guy commercial from, like, season 1 and made it a real ad, essentially.

Yeah, I saw the Twilight one watching Archer last night. I loved the implication that flowers, chocolates and cards are old-hat and generic, but a DVD is the perfect way to say "I love you".

Maybe it's because I'm a loveless old goon, but there's a local jewelry store commercial that plays over the radio here that pisses me off. It's these group of girls who are together talking about valentines presents they've got, and one comes in and says she doesn't have to worry because she's been "dropping hints" about whatever jewelry they're trying to sell, and then another one texts her boyfriend about it and all but demands it. And they all have a laugh because it's "only $99" I think it was that "Only $99" that bugged me the most, actually.

But when it comes to jewelery "only $99" is probably a good price. I mean I get pissed off at the Kindle ads where they try to imply that it's a bargain item because people usually spend twice that on sunglasses, apparently, but jewelery is the one item that can and does demand that much money to get something decent.

If you have to exchange expensive trinkets for sex...what does that make the woman? It insults both genders, ironically the target gender the most, and yet the gullible just eat it up.

Grandpa Pap posted:"The Young Ones" built part of an episode around the TV detector man showing up to bust them because they hadn't paid their license fee. And then Viv ate the tv  Valentine's Day is probably the most misogynistic holiday out there. Every commercial for it pursues the whore angle as was pointed out (get her jewelry/a phone/lingerie and you get sex! If you don't she'll never gently caress you again!). It's also insulting that you have to calendar a day to do something nice for your wife/girlfriend. I know there's nothing inherent in Valentine's that says it's a "women's" holiday, but that's how all the advertising is skewed. I can't remember the last time I saw or heard an ad geared towards women buying gifts for men.

I also don't like Sidney Crosby appearing in 75% of all commercials on sports channels. That guy's sure been using his time on the shelf well.

Farbtoner posted:The commercial for Acts of Valor, in addition to looking like an awful movie independent of literally being a recruitment film for the Navy SEALS, amuses me to no end because somewhere over the past decade Eminem went from being one of those thug rappers who's corrupting our children to being patriotic red-blooded OORAH music. I watched the Super Bowl on NBC.com and instead of the normal commercials, they basically ran the same Act of Valor, GE, Budweiser, and/or Chevy commercials during every break. That got old pretty fast. On the plus side, we weren't subjected to the halftime show.

The worst version of the ad is the Adult Swim varient they have, where it talks about it's being a guy guy movie and if you don't see it, then your a pussy. Movie looks so awful, don't think anyone will want to restore it in fifty years!

No kidding. I once wanted to get a friend (A FRIEND!) something nice because she was getting her wings as a naval aviator like a week before Christmas. She'd been talking about how she didn't have any nice jewelry, so I thought I'd get her something. I don't really recall what I got her. Some sort of gold necklace. Pretty sure I cracked $200 on it. It was close to half of all the money I spent that year on gifts.

The weird thing is, I've seen it on other people's TVs and it sounds like noise in a commercial, but there's something about the TV in my bedroom that makes it sound just like a real loving smoke detector. It's so annoying at night.

Local commercial here. White girl rapping about this place that sells lovely old dell business line computers for 2x what you can find on ebay. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yi76OgITLAc My wife hates it cause she thinks it's a bad Nikki Minaj impersonation. Little does she know that this girl is supposed to be some legitimate white female rapper trying to make a name for herself locally. I just found this out looking up the vid. Its horrible. edit: I wish I could find their old ads with "the bargain hunter", a really bad crocodile hunter ripoff. Vin BioEthanol fucked around with this message at 18:31 on Feb 13, 2012 |
