This is gonna be the best day of my li-i-ife... My li-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ife Don't know what it's for; don't care. If I can't reach the remote, I stick my fingers in my ears and scream.

Miss Kalle posted:If that commercial for adicolor sneakers at Champs Sports was a living thing, I would punch it in its face. Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg have a radio ad for mountain Dew kickstart and it's impossible for it to be more irritating. The product itself, the two of them, the ad copy, all of it. So yeah, punch.

If Dr J is inside the magical land within the Crown Royal bag, why is the first thing he does when he gets out is order a Crown Royal? They didn't have booze inside the alternate dimension inside the purple Crown Royal bag?

I maintain the worst commercials ever are the one's that heavily feature the sounds of ingestion or digestion. The worst ad ever was for Sunkist on the radio that features really enhanced sounds of someone slurping up Sunkist out of the can and gulping that poo poo noisily down their gullet. Finished off by a horrid "ahhh" noise that no one wants to hear. I almost decided to crash my car off the cliff in anger from this soda ad.

I flew to LA last year on Virgin American (side note: I will never fly another airline, they are amazing...we had the plane break in mid-air and had to land in Dallas, and it's still the best flight I ever took). They have touch screens in every seat with on-demand programming...one of the offerings was the last few episodes of Season 2 of Game of Thrones. If it wasn't 5 bucks I would have streamed it to spite the parents of small children.

I wonder if I can find out just how many commecials are using that 'Radioactive' song right now. It seems like I can't go through a commercial break on any channel without hearing it.

SolarFire2 posted:I wonder if I can find out just how many commecials are using that 'Radioactive' song right now. It seems like I can't go through a commercial break on any channel without hearing it. At least two that I know of: one for "The Host" and one for that Defiance video game tie-in for the Syfy TV series. It doesn't help that everyone I know insists on listening to that song constantly when it isn't playing on my TV.  Edit: Looks like Wikipedia actually has your answer! Wikipedia posted:"Radioactive" was used heavily in promotion for the video game Assassin's Creed III[10] and the film The Host,[11] and is included in the soundtrack for the video game MLB 13: The Show. It has also been used more recently as the theme in the trailer for the new Defiance game to be released soon. Kimmalah fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Apr 2, 2013 |

Makes me hate the product irrationally. Like Twix, with the tongue-smack-sound after the old guy says "Cloaked in chocolate. Completely different process."

ElectricSheep posted:Kit-Kat commercials are the absolute worst for this. Ugh, both of these times one million. No one eats that loudly in real life unless you're a complete rear end in a top hat or a feral creature that was raised by wolves and don't know how to eat like a proper human. Commercials seem to also do this: got a full cup of something you're drinking? I mean, we're talking the beverage and possibly ice is touching the lid of the cup, that's how full it is, right? If you're drinking said beverage through a straw and take your very first sip, the drink goes SHLHLSHLHLSHSLHLHRRRRRPPPPPSHSHSHSHPRPPPPP as if the straw is trying to get every last drop out of a completely empty cup (even though the cup is full). In commercial-land, every commercial has to inform you that someone is drinking something through a straw by going SHSHSHSHHHLLLLLRPRRRPPRPPPP for ten minutes because we're all too loving stupid to realize that someone is drinking something, so that sound effect is added to reassure us all that a big drink is happening. Gee, thanks commercial. I would have never made the connection  Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:I like how he starts to reach for it but instead chooses to let the situation spiral out of control.

That sound. It's also funny because as someone else in the thread pointed out, those commercials have been around so long that there's probably a lot of people out there who don't even realize those noises are supposed to be the Gimme a Break song.

The fact that table-crack guy already successfully cracked one egg into his bowl sort of undermines their "cracking eggs is IMPOSSIBLE" thing. Clearly he did it right the first time!

If there's one thing this thread has taught me, it's that some people have REAL hangups over eating sounds. I mean, I'm not saying I enjoy them or anything, but the extreme reaction that people have in this thread to them is really something to observe.
