First it uses one of the Windows notification message sounds so when it airs I think I've got mail or something.

Second it claims to kill the mold to make it white, but later in the commercial they have the different colours so obviously it's just painting over it.

Third the application brush is way way wider than any grout lines are going to be, so you waste a huge amount every time you apply it.

And the toothpaste-white grout looks like poo poo if, like in the commercial, the tile is beige.

Well, obviously you didn't get to see the UNRATED CONTENT on their website that they can't show you on TV!


...ridiculous as that line is, it delivered hits to the site and probably continues to do so.

Oh man, I'm right there with you. You know how you joke around about getting pissed at a commercial or wanting to sock an actor in the face, but that loving pee-yushi guy is one of the first ads to make legitimate anger boil up inside me.

I know I saw one of those at the behest of either the last thread or the thread before it. The UNCENSORED version is even more cringeworthy than what they show on TV because it has about a minute more of awkward gyrating.

At least the newer commercials mention what GoDaddy does. The old ones just left me scratching my head, wondering why there was an ad for a softcore porn site during prime-time.

You know Nerf is possibly the most brilliant company ever or the dumbest with the way they market their kids toys. With commercials of guys in their 20s playing nerf tag out in the woods/parks and what have you. I don't know if the nailed their target group or not.

This maxwell House (I think) coffee ad keeps playing on hulu, with a boring white couple having French press coffee in a restaurant (think white tablecloth, a waiter in a tie is plunging their coffee). A dude (the guy is very familiar, can't place him) with a kind of 'blue-collar guy' jacket on comes up to the couple's table with a regular drip coffee machine stuck under his arm, complains about French press pots having plungers, talks about how he likes French fries and then asks the waiter to plug in his coffee machine, so he can make this couple a better cup of coffee.

"But no casual fans knew what was going on the old commercials maaaaaan"

Which is almost literally their marketing department's angle for these new commercials. These new ads are basically every light beer commercial ever, save for the lack of misogyny and homophobia.

Just saw an anti-smoking PSA which was just a fat, bed-ridden woman saying smoking turned her into a fat, bed-ridden woman and she has to rely on people, like nurses or her son, to clean her and change her diaper.

Meanwhile, we are treated to nice close-up shots of her son wiping the inside of her thighs! :gonk:

One of the few concrete links with occurence autism is the age of the mother, where older women are exponentially more likely to have autistic children. I'm guessing more celebrities wait until they're older to have kids.

I haven't tried the marshmallow one but I can tell you that whipped cream and vanilla vodkas are appreciably different. And both make a very good (if not very masculine) white russian.

These are two local radio ads, but there's nowhere else to complain about them.

First is a car dealership "Truck Month" ad where the owner of one dealership crank calls the owner of another dealership and then reveals himself and gets all :smug: over the phone. The other guy hangs up on him and then he gets even more smug about the guy hanging up on him. I would hang up on you too, you fuckface. Then maybe call the police and get a restraining order because this is one of many commercials with this dealership doing the same thing.

The second is an ad for a company doing some kind of clinical trial. The pitch, however, is: "Have you used cocaine, marijuana, LSD..." and then goes on to add other stuff like Adderall, Lortab, etc "without a prescription?" Holy poo poo gently caress, please tell me where I can get a prescription for LSD in this century. In some places you can get a prescription for pot but this isn't one of them.

My favorite thing is every video on youtube with Keener has the top comments related to Garrus. If they ever make a Mass Effect film, they have to cast him as Garrus.

Hulu made me very happy by finally killing the volume on the one Lowes ad that was way, way louder than everything else they show. They could have just brought it in line, but it's now much, much quieter than everything else. May not have actually been intentional, but it gave me a good laugh.
