Should be in the "Ads you love" catergory.

I recall watching this and finding the guy who occasionally had pieces on the Daily Show, turns out, it was Stephen Colbert!

There's one he did with Brian Posehn as well, but alas I can't find it.

Did I just dream the Ragu commercial during the Olympics that had the fat kid walking in on his parents loving?

Give him Ra-gu 'cause childhood's tough
Give him Ra-gu 'cause he's sure had enough...

Here's the actual commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWD0wUmO8jk

You...did not. That really happened. I do like the kid's expression, like he gazed upon an eldritch horror that he can never unsee.

I love that food companies are finally just openly advocating that people drown their emotional issues in food.

Seems kind of funny too because November is usually where movie companies dump whatever they don't really care about, unless it's close to Thanksgiving.

I will admit I think I voluntarily watched that commercial twice, and laughed minutes afterward, so it's working.

Anyone from Connecticut should be familiar with Good Ol' Tom, a man who has for years been offering to buy your old gold with some very convincing customer testimonies. If you're not familiar, here's a commercial where a grieving widow makes out with a dog while giving thanks to her dead husband http://www.buzzfeed.com/rebeccae/good-ole-toms

I've always enjoyed them because they're hilarious, but I'm pretty sure that the man claiming to be Good Ol Tom in the newest batches of cmomercials is an imposter.

Good Ol' Tom is Ol' as gently caress, and always has been. He wasn't looking well in the last batch of commercials I saw him in and he's been missing since. Suddenly, he re-appears, healthy, with a goatee, and a slightly off-sounding voice, as if it was an imitation.

There's only two things I can think of as to what is going on, and they involve evil twins and mummies. :ohdear:

It's not banned if you use it for actual medical problems and you have it cleared by the responsible doping agency.

Also no one would be using androgel to dope, there's better stuff out there at this point. Androgel's nearly two decades old now.

Maybe he's just impersonating Jimmy Two Times from Goodfellas. "I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers."

How about that Old Navy commercial with the girl crying out to everyone at school "SHE'S NOT NEEWWW!" because some other girl happens to wear [GASP!] different clothing to school each day? There's also Jason Priestley in it for some reason. Terrible.

The surrealistic adventure became my world.
Here's that miracle whip thing.

Also, I watch CW shows online with MY WIFE and they always run the same three drat commercials: two for two shows, and one "WATCH CW" general ad and it's terrible because whoever sees those ads is already watching CW so why the gently caress advertise them. Hulu has this problem too, I say an ad isn't for me, and they keep showing it time after time. It's not like I forgot I didn't like the commercial or something.

Most recently, the ad on Hulu for "The Possession" is terrible OH poo poo MOTH MOUTH. The creepy kid's song and child screams are redundant and the only thing remotely good about it is the WHO AM I question. It makes me laugh.

Just heard a Skrillex song for a K-Mart Back to School commercial.

It felt really out of place.

Usually if it was for Alcohol or a Car commercial, an electronic song usually fits there. But for little kids doing their own little on the spot fashion show?

not so much.

Did some easy searching, and it is not a Skrillex song by any means.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xl-D7WySICg I guess it sounds really similar to him though? I don't know, I have never listened to Skrillex.

I went back four pages, but I'm surprised no one's brought up the Darksiders 2 commercial with the uncanny valley girl. That would be a badass trailer with the dude on the horse riding through ruined NY city into various hellish landscapes, but it starts with this creepy as gently caress little girl, being carried by her father and gasping in this wide eyed terror - that must've sounded great on paper, but the animation is so unsettling it's a wonder they didn't cut those few seconds out. So creepy that I hope she's the secret last boss of the game.

You might remember a while back when Disney got in hot water and re-edited some trailers/commercials for The Tigger Movie because it used the song Semi-Charmed Life, the Third Eye Blind classic about doing coke and crystal meth. Well, Disney is either supremely lazy or thinks people don't remember Third Eye Blind because the song is back in the commercial for the Blu-ray.
