I don't even know if this company is still around (if there are any goons who live in Ohio, please let me know), but I remember these from the heyday of YouTube. They're bone-chilling to this very day. I am almost 100% positive that this Marc Norton fellow is a serial killer with a crawlspace of some kind, and if you ever went into his store, he would brutally murder you. Behold, the Norton Furniture ads: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jubP3t27IQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2z1YroJTRE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kd8BrfhASDU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztzPlgm_S4w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucIJGC4AhKA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLtKCJ-7hJQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKVNssgvgCM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=do0sm7pzstM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDYP7kXLQNA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0O86vpw-CGs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnJN6HNMnUw

Everytime I see a commercial by that crazy motherfucker it reminds me of Senor Cardgage from Homestar Runner. It's scary how similar they are.

Its sort of old, but the Volkswagen commercial that consists of nothing but people laughing starting from an infant and ending with an old man. It has nothing to do with cars, hell I don't even think there's a car in any of the clips they show.

I don't know if it's from being a bad ad or overexposure, but this iPad mini ad is driving me batshit lately. With Christmas ads it's hard to tell but probably both. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnUgfZ1S8aA

Did I really just watch a dude try to finger, then motorboat, then date rape a chick in a commercial?  And yet, when Mahhk pops up and confirms that it's him, I couldn't hold back the laughter.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Htbo1yW6qeU I was watching one of the deeper cable channels this weekend and saw this ad for the Wax Vac, a vacuum you stick in your ear to get rid of ear wax. The guy gets so angry about hurting his ear drum, it's awesome.

Sydney Bottocks posted:Not an gripe, more of an observation: I saw that Vonage commercial with the British lady, and is it just me, or have they finally stopped using that "Woo Hoo" song (the one made famous in "Kill Bill")? Please let this be so. Now let's hope that commercials stop using that one song with the guy who sounds like a duck played back at 8kbps. Seriously that song is terrible and it's on every loving commercial. e:It's really frustrating because it barely sounds like a song is being played at all and because it sounds like that it's loving impossible to describe. iamathousandapples fucked around with this message at 08:20 on Dec 27, 2012 |

The Taco Bell ads advertising the "Taco Twelve Pack" are pretty terrible. Mind you, I do enjoy their product, but, discouraging people from eating veggies, and popcorn in place of Taco Bell tacos just is terrible considering the health problems a lot of Americans are facing.

There's a certain amount of personal responsibility when it comes to diet. I have nothing against a company like taco bell trying to make money through advertising. It always strikes me as funny when people complain about it

Like, it's not the worst thing ever but it's a kinda gross ad campaign to sell junk in bulk.

Right, and even Wendy's is an offender in this category as well. "Hey, were you eating a home made p,b and j? that's bland prison grade food, try our bacon, mushroom and mozzarella chicken sandwich!" The home made pb and j is probably way better nutritionally for you, and you also have better control over what side dishes you can have, drinks, etc. There's nothing wrong with an ad that goes "Eh, what the hell, take a break, go chill with your friends at Mickey D's, and get a Big Mac" There is something wrong when you're kind of being all  against Popcorn (something that is actually a pretty decent snack food health wise) and Veggies ( Which I may add are quite addicting when you have Hummus as a dip.)

Salsa is likely way better for you than ketchup, probably way less sugar, and possibly less salt. If we're comparing ketchup to Taco Bell salsa though, maybe not, who knows what Taco Bell puts in their salsa.

Last I looked, the average jar of salsa is only like 40 calories per serving. Of course, I have no idea how big a serving is, so...

As bad as it was, it's nowhere near as bad as that Windows 8 commercial with some doofy little girl making ugly paintings on a touchscreen while some tone deaf bastard sings some lovely song and butchers "Express Yourself" in the process. There are not many commercials that get "mute as quickly as possible" status but that is definitely one of them.

Alright I've just had enough of that loving salsa commercial where they go apeshit over that guy from NEW YORK CITY?!??!?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2dFWtciNtY Yeah you know what else would be like having salsa made from a company in NEW YORK CITY?!?!? Having salsa from a company in the "southwest", salsa is a mexican and latin american series of sauces and the ones that anyone in america actually eats is one specific one that people have picked up on, salsa from NEW YORK CITY??!?! is just as authentic as salsa from San Antonio. Also why do I give a poo poo if the salsa is made in NEW YORK CITY?!??!? when it's the same ingredients made in the same way every other salsa in america is? The loving salsa in this commercial probably tastes the exact same as salsa made anywhere else in america that isn't made by central or latin americans.
