The Music Bullet is a terrible product and anyone who owns it is probably a terrible person.

CapnAndy posted:Is it the fact that you can't hear DeVito's voice any more without immediately replacing the character with Frank Reynolds in your mind? Because, y'know, that's my problem with the whole thing. Yeah, that's what it is for me. I kinda want to see it just so I can imagine Frank Reynolds being a crazy person as the Lorax. There is no way for me to separate Danny DeVito from Frank Reynolds' character at this point. I saw it mentioned before, and while I normally wouldn't have a problem with the VW "They see me rollin'..." commercial, because the song is alright, it is the fact that they play it every. single. break. that loving kills it for me.

The pigs from that Cici's commercial freak me out on a very visceral level and I can't put my finger on why. I think the one that winks and gestures at the camera is subconsciously reminding me of some long-forgotten animatronic uncanny valley freakshow that scared me as a kid. Ugh.

I know I've mentioned it before, but the horrible, horrible butt-rock band that plays in the airport during that one Free Credit Report (or Score, or whatever) commercial needs to hurry the gently caress up and go die in a fire. Like yesterday. All those "band singing about credit reports" commercials are dumb to begin with, the airport one just particularly grinds my gears. Are there seriously people out there who hear some terrible frat-boy rap-rock about credit scores and identity theft, and proceed to say to themselves "Why yes, I do need to check my credit report. Thanks brah"?

Real tired of the song and real tired of seeing the guys flabby jiggly arms jiggle around like arms of a lady twice his size and age would because he's so happy he got his thousand percent early refund loan at Jackson Hewitt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmynbxyfFjM

It's like, I can get with the super advanced baby who can drive and dance and sit in the VIP, but I am hung up on why he needs to color his facial hair. How old and gray could he be?

He was not loving with me. This commercial has been driving my house crazy for ever. I went to my wife's book club and they were talking about how incredible it was and how awesome that rock is to climb (they all love climbing, except me), and it's been extra obnoxious to me ever since.

Toffile posted:The Music Bullet now you can take your music anywhere with BASS I have something similar to this I use at work with my iPhone but it's half the size. It's basically the accordion part without a plastic case. It works decently for what it is but is nowhere near as good as a proper speaker.

I'm already getting sick of those ads for that Project X movie. As far as I can tell the movie is just "Some teenagers throw a totally bitchin' house party!" I couldn't think of a more inane premise if I tried.

He was not loving with me. Kind of old, but - is that what the song says? I really can't tell if she's singing "OOOOOOOOON" or "OHHHHPAN". I also have no idea what the last spoken line is supposed to say - "I proposed to the rock I really had in mind"?

Like the rest of you, I find this song about as pleasant as hearing fingernails on a chalkboard, so I did some Googling for "somebody left the gate open" and discovered that the song is called "Into the Wild" by some artiste named L.P. (appropriately self-captioned pic below):  I didn't bother to look up the lyrics but I'm sure they're a paean to being unconventional and individual and all that "free your mind" kinda stuff.

The "Jake from State Farm at 3 in the morning" commercial irritates me, because it has the potential to be sort of funny, but as usual the people who made it assume most everyone has the intelligence of a potato and over-explain the loving joke.

High school kids see a ton of R-rated movies, both in theaters and on DVD when they release the unrated cut that you don't need an ID to buy. It looks like some execs said "Hey, a bunch of teenagers loved The Hangover, why don't we make a version of that specifically aimed at teens? And we'll make it a found footage movie since kids love their YouTubes! Cocaine for everyone!"

This makes me nervous because, much like how Superbad kept the 40 Year-Old Virgin Apatow train a-rolling, this looks like it's going to lead to another 3 or 4 years of every movie trying to be the next Hangover.

Gamefly's running the ad where a bunch of people throw hissyfits about their video games being bad. They stopped running it for a while and that was great, but now they're running it again and it's still terrible. Portraying your target audience at as a bunch of irrational children is the worst idea. Even if you think they are!

The current Goldfish commercial, with the mom and kids going through the car wash, incites an irrational amount of rage within me. When that stupid boy says "If we survive this ... it'll be a miracle! " like a complete chucklefuck, I have to resist every bone and muscle in my body screaming at me to destroy my television, then walk to the gas station across the street and set fire to every bag of Goldfish on the shelf. I have issues.

If I've learned anything from reading "Games" then Gamefly is correct in their assessment. I, however, agree with you that those commercials piss me off. I was hoping they were gone forever and yet they're back. Gamefly is poo poo anyways. Good loving luck getting any new release! I hate commercials with nonstop yelling and commercials with sirens wailing (especially if the siren ones are on the radio).
