A couple of these "eat like that guy you know" Velveeta ads are making the rounds online and getting under my skin.

The ham radio one particularly irritates me for whatever reason. "ALL the Koreas!"

I just saw a new version of that Fiat commercial where the car drives into the ocean, with that annoying Italian song's lyrics translated into English, followed by Somebody Loves Potatoes. :suicide:

For some reason I always picture George W. Bush as the narrator for those commercials.

Locally, there is a radio commercial that consists of nothing but a female vocal singing "Look at that new Toyota".

You seriously have issues.

Go catch more racoons in a net and step away from the computer.
I cannot remember if it was an ad for welchs grape juice or breyers ice cream, but they had an obnoxious kid who would read the ingredients from a competitor product and perfectly pronounce the chemical ingredient names and then mangle "natural" because kids are cute and look how he can't pronounce a simple word. loving drove me nuts he could pronounce 30 letter chemical words but not natural. I get it was suppose to be a play on words for nature but annoying as poo poo. gently caress you stupid kid and advertisers.

I also hate anything with the fosters farms chickens. Why are they hell bent on becoming foster farms chickens when that means they'll be killed, cooked, and eaten. Always bugged the poo poo out of me.

It was Breyer's Ice Cream. Can't find the specific commercial, but here is a somewhat similar one from the 80's:

Yeah, it pisses me off when people get upset about "chemicals" in their food. gently caress off, everything's a chemical, the dose makes the poison, and a lot of scary-sounding things are perfectly safe and beneficial. I want preservatives in my bread so it doesn't grow mould just by looking at it. What would happen if these people had an infection or something?

"Pen-uh-cil-un? That sounds dangerous and chemical-ly, better not have any of it!"

Also the reason why we can't have irradiated meats, which would be a tremendous boon for food-safety.

I don't like those style of commercials in the first palce, but the dog food ones drive me extra crazy for some reason. The Blue Buffalo(? I can't remember) ads that ahve been airing lately are just full of people that think you're some sort of monster for feeding your dog anything less than whatever dumb poo poo they're pushing. "Why would I want my dog eating something like 'chicken byproduct meal'?" I don't know lady, but I can pretty much guarantee you that your dog doesn't care so long as it's in a size that fits its mouth and isn't difficult to chew. And even then, your dog probably wouldn't care. It would probably eat garbage, then grass, then throw up because it ate grass, and then eat that barf.

Dogs will eat antifreeze if you leave it out, that doesn't mean you should give it to them.

Unlike the hype over all natural and organic and free range or whatever in human food, meat by-products and corn are objectively bad for pets.

Pretty much this. If it gets people to pay more attention to what they are feeding their pets, then douche on you crazy commercials.

I think the commercials (and maybe even companies) are more concerned with taking your money by convincing you that those other foods are garbage than actually having healthy, natural products for your dogs.

Makes you wonder just what they truly mean when they say natural, but I imagine the best way to better learn about their products is through a factory tour if anything.

Doesn't that apply to every advertisement ever? In regards to Blue Buffalo commercials, they kind of put their money where their mouth is by showing you how to better understand what makes up your dog's kibble. Compare that to advertisements for products like Beneful, which touts having food that looks like vegetables (orange and green kibble bits, how clever) and it has a "taste your dog will love", instead of it actually being good for them.

I won't even get in to the whole "natural" segment of your post because I completely agree that the industry is barely regulated when it comes to animal food.

So the "Scroogled" thing- I've seen the ads on TV and in the banner above. I get that MS is making a good point here about Google's casual relationship with privacy, and it's effective in that it points to them as a superior alternative.

But I already never want to see or hear the word "scroogled" again.

That God-drat Vonage commercial.

"Enormous, huge bill."

"It was gigantic!"

"I'm Laura Pruden, and this is my last phone bill."

"My last phone bill!"
*Cue stupid, P.O.S. "woo hoo hoo" song that was only popular because of Kill Bill

I think what grates on me most, is they have like 6 or 7 people in the commercial, but on that drat Laura Pruden chick says her name! Like...why have just the one person say their name? I feel like there must be a longer version out there that I've never seen where every person says their name,
"I'm Laura Pruden,
"I'm Steve Smith,
"I'm Jill Santos"
