This is my least favorite current ad--worse than anything else because I see/hear it at least five times an hour and it has nothing to do with the product-- http://www.youtube.com/embed/qoARBNb_hgY?showinfo=0&rel=0 Never mind that the man only needs a fifteen dollar trimmer to get his haircut. Am I in the minority for hating this one?

I hate it but only because I hate Lebron James. He could be in a commercial advertising something I like, specifically tailored to my unique way of life and mention me by name and I'd still hate it because it was him.

I'm getting sick of the DVR rear end in a top hat guy. He's constantly spewing poo poo about his wife for recording stuff when he wants to record stuff, and the tone just gets more hostile each time. I'm hoping the last commercial in the series ends with her divorcing him and him finally being able to record all of the poo poo he wants.. Alone.

Obeast posted:I think a lot of it is that it takes until the last five seconds for them to show what they're advertising, so you're watching a kid cry over something that, in a few years after he's past his "monster trucks are the loving poo poo" phase, he will take down and never put back up. Not to defend the commercial, but more to explain it, apparently it was a home video someone put on youtube that they bought the rights to. That kind of explains why the video is more interested in the kid's reaction and very little about the present itself.

I saw a commercial earlier about some kind of farmers only dating website and I thought it was a joke at first. It isn't a joke. This is real life and yet I don't know what's real anymore.

There's what, 2 million farmers in America. That's a niche market. Probably not as niche as SeaCaptainDate.com, but that's probably because SeaCaptainDate.com is so niche that they have no reason to advertise.

I honestly don't know what's worse...but I'm tempted to say Pomplamouse, because there were multiple ads with them, and they aired constantly. I can barely remember the dubstep-y ones from last year, but that annoying woman's lovely renditions of already lovely Christmas carols are still fresh in my mind like I saw the ads yesterday.

My roommate has an ongoing challenge to use this photo in any powerpoint he does. The latest was on Iranian women's rights. Sadly, nobody asked him about it. But enough of that, have an utterly annoying ad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hp054wMmqK8 HE HE MY FOOT IS SMUSHED IN A CUPCAKE That ad gets old real fast. Also relevant to the thread (and where I dug this one up from): http://www.awfuladvertisements.com/

I've seen one so far, and if I rememebr correctly, it's a guy who's given a smartphone, told to call another phone, which is in another box with the keys to the Lexus. The second phone has the jingle. I actually sort of liked the "Up on the Housetop" Pomplamoose commercial the first time I saw it. It wasn't loud or poppy like every other commercial on at the time. But then another one came out, and they both played constantly. Ad agencies really need to learn how to spread this poo poo out.

There's a Jeep one that shows a bunch of people waiting for soldiers to come home. Then it shows a picture of a soldier coming home in a jeep, and says buy a jeep. I'm probably being too sensitive about it, but I'm not a fan of companies using the troops as advertising unless the troops will somehow benefit from it. Had the Jeep ad been exactly the same, but said something along the lines of "for every jeep bought during time period, we'll be donating to the soldier charity", I wouldn't have minded it at all. The way it is shown just seems exploitative of a lovely situation where a family member can't be home.

Hey you! That's right, YOU!!  Ever wish you could keep a paraplegic, nonmotile parakeet that is only able to chirp and jerk its neck from side to side? Wish you didn't have to take care of the pet you will inevitably cave in and buy for your whining children, rather than being a parent and saying no to them for once in your tenure as the family wallet/doormat? Are you an lonely, unfeeling husk of a human being, only able to interact with a chirping hunk of plastic you don't actually have to be responsible to own? Then YOU need to buy what is essentially a plastic toy for stupid children or weird bird-obsessed adults I guess!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gpYlff6NqY I can't even fathom that there is an  e: I'm sorry, the tail also wobbles slightly, so the plastic bird is not, in fact, paraplegic. Also it is available in non-bird-colored pallet swaps. QuickbreathFinisher fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Dec 11, 2012 |

Flavor Monsters. I'm not sure why they spent so much money to advertise a mediocre cellphone game. The ads don't even capture the feel of it.

Looks like they replaced the music in those K-mart commercials (thelightsthelightsthelights) with modern covers of Christmas songs. I only noticed it today, but I wondered if it was a total replacement of the commercials or not.
