Funnily enough, this discussion has made me realize I've been deaf in both ears since I was 5 and I've never had that ringing in my ears.  I guess deafies just don't get it?

Everything just makes me feel like she's really tell everyone: "Hey retard! Nice lovely lunch you got there. Why don't you come to my restaurant and get some food that doesn't taste like vomit. Are you too stupid to know that already?"

The car commercial where the old parents call their son a hippie for driving a low mpg car is really awful.

Saw some commercial on the History channel or something that began talking about the Titanic in a tone that immediately made me think, "Great, another commemorative coin." Nope, it was a necklace. And a ring.

When I'm over at my parents' house I end up watching channels I don't usually. This means I end up seeing a bunch of bizarre commercials I've never seen before. Like today they were watching American Pickers and there was a commercial for a farmer specific dating site. Are there really that many single farmer women out there?

Dairy Queen's been too busy trying to steal some of the Old Spice demographic (badly) and also retired their weird Mouth-based commercials. McDonald's hasn't used their children's characters in ages. The King is now dead. Arby's... Christ, don't get me started. I'd take the Oven Mitt over the "Good Mood Food" crap. But to be fair, I have a thing for redheads, and she is really pretty.

CapnAndy posted:Oh my god, that commercial. I saw it for the first time during Saturday Night Live and didn't believe it wasn't a parody until I actually went to the website. Its a terrible commercial too. Its surprising how specific some of these dating sites can get, like there's a Christian specific site, despite, you know, eHarmony already existing.

I never noticed this in Southern California, but in Northern California, whether I'm watching Hulu or network TV, I get ads from Honda/Chevy, Sleep Train, Citibank, and very little else. It's starting to drive me batty. Do service providers (I have the same provider for TV and Internet) control which ads are shown?

Any of the Hopper commercials. Why the gently caress would anyone think a bunch of annoying people talking in annoying Boston accents would help sell their product?

There's another car commercial where this guy moves back in with his parents after finishing college. They make it clear that he's a lazy idiot who can barely take care of himself. The whole thing comes off as really insulting considering how many people are in that situation for purely economic reasons. but I guess they aren't buying new cars anyway.

If you go into a Blockbuster Video these days, instead of having movies playing on their screens like back in the day, they have a constant loop of HOPPAH commercials. It is absolutely horrible and makes me never want to go to a Blockbuster ever again.

Because people are horrible. I have a coworker who decided to switch to the Hopper and when informing another one of this got "Oh, you're getting the HOPPA? I love those commercials! HOPPA!" Ugh.

I heard a Hopper radio ad that had the announcer guy using a regular voice and then would say HOPPA like a Cheers background character and then just as suddenly back to normal voice.

If it's like everything else, the ad server knows what geographic area you're from and advertisers buy ads with geographical targeting. As a western Canadian it is painful - not enough business buying online ads so you'll get the same poo poo 100 times in a row. Especially this Mr Big campaign https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PP1tbwUeFI HURF CANADIANS LIKE HOCKEY (I do but it's still demeaning)

ElwoodCuse posted:They also used to have some godawful print ads with a sexy, scantily-clad woman delivering the mail but of course Mr. Nerd Shut-in is more thrilled that she's bringing VIDYA GAMES. As bad as they are, none of the Gamefly commercials are as bad as this Gamestop commercial that used to come on like every commercial break when I watched the Funimation channel like 5 years ago. I don't think I ever saw it on any other channel, either.

I'm completely sick of using little kid voices (usually girls) as tearjerkers for things like the PSAs for Feeding America and the American Lung Association. I'm sure they're both perfectly good groups but good lord it's just grating after a while.

TontoCorazon posted:Oh holy gently caress kitkat commercials suck so loving much. Chewing/drinking/slurping sounds are incredibly unappetizing to me, e.g.: - KitKat commercials; - York Peppermint Patty commercials that are aping Requiem for a Dream; - Taco Bell commercials with the guy sucking his Dorito Loco Taco-stained fingers; - Any radio commercial for a soda, ever; and some others I'm sure I've missed. I don't know who likes these things or what focus groups ad companies find that are cool with hearing or watching people eat and drink. Yet somehow I've always liked this commercial.
