I hate that Phillips milk of magnesia commercial with the random lady on the bus asking "Anyone here suffer from occasional constipation, diarrhea, bloating?" Sure, strange lady, I'd be happy to discuss my bowel movements in public with a total stranger!

Bloody Hedgehog posted:Not really a huge loss. Several independent studies have shown most of the products don't do a drat thing, and the ones that do give very limited whitening, and it doesn't last. You really have to go to your dentist and get a professional whitening to see any appreciable improvement. But if your not whitenenng, your yellowenng!!!!

Rirse posted:Pretty sure this ad was mentioned before, but tired of the "Bing Challenge" ads where they lucky find the world dumbest people who somehow liked that crappy search engine over Google. I too love to look at random pictures of tacos when trying to find a place to eat. I choose Bing!  I also hate the ad for Silk soymilk that says something like 7 out of 10 people preferred it over regular milk on cereal. Bull loving poo poo. I've had soymilk on cereal. I used to regularly buy and drink Silk. It is in no way better on cereal than regular milk and there's no way in hell anything approaching 70% of respondents said so.

There is no such thing as a soy cow. The balls on that corporation to even put their product in the same category as milk are incredible.

Anybody see that razor/trimmer commercial where the guy starts off all scruffy and then gets more and more respectable looking and says things like "I'd hire me" amd "I'd date me" until at the end he is clean shaven and he says "I'd gently caress me". It's so obnoxious and disgusting.

Black called it "Soy Juice", which is a much more appropriate name for it.

There's one (yeah, there's more than one) with a guy that eventually ends up looking like a gigantic, punchable rear end in a top hat and every time it airs all I can think is "NO ONE WANTS TO gently caress YOU, SHAVE THAT poo poo. Worse still, if you pay attention, they're shaving their body hair as well. Just stop it. Now. The other commercials that are currently annoying me are the match.com commercials. No bitch, your dog is not excited about your dumbass date. Shut up.

I'm a somewhat hairy dude, so everytime I see a guy on TV or a movie with absolutely no chest hair I roll my eyes like crazy. I don't care if people waste their time doing so, but if people didn't know better they'd think that is how most men look.

Gaunab posted:I'm tired of hearing I Love it by Icona Pop. It's appearing in more and more commercials. Its such a great example of nobody caring what the lyrics of the song are so they can blare the phrase "I love it" over and over again. Good god is it hilarious though that a song about destroying material possessions is pushing like what, 4 different products right now? I'm waiting for it to show up in a car commercial.

CCR's "Fortunate Son" used in a commercials because if you truncate the lyrics, it sounds like a patriotic song. (It's an anti-war song about rich, privileged kids not having to fight in Vietnam, while the rest of us do) Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life" used in a "Rugrats" movie & Cruise ship ad campaign. (It's about being a heroin junkie) I'm sure there are many more examples.

The single most infuriating lyrical mismatch has to be Garnier Fructis using the Transplants' 'Diamonds and Guns' to hawk shampoo. Because nothing's better for hair than heroin, right?

Axe's "Shower like a Hero" body wash ad is driving me insane. 1) The score feels like a flagrant rip off of some of James Horner's music for the Star Trek movies (of course Horner steals a lot himself so for all I know it actually is him.) 2) They are running it ALL THE GODDAMN loving TIME, piggybacking it in EVERY commercial break on Syfy alone.

That drat 1800 tequila commercial where it "pours you a shot" is back, and it still makes no sense. If you pour the shot into the cap while the cap is still on by turning the bottle upside down, how the gently caress do you take the cap off without either: 1) Righting the bottle back up, and having the shot pour out of the cap back into the bottle or 2) Having tequila pour onto the bar because you didn't tip the bottle back up because you're a dumbass and wanted that cap-shot? Also, even if you do it the way it would work and pour the tequila into the cap to get a shot, that's nasty, don't put your mouth on the cap that goes back on the bottle. I don't care that the alcohol will likely kill any germs, it's just gross on principle to put your mouth on things other people might drink.

You're supposed to pour it when it's three-quarters empty or less. Otherwise, when you level it to pull the cork and cap out, it'll spill. The hole in the cork should be small enough to not allow the cap to spill when you take it off. It's still pretty stupid.

Anyone who's been watching anything on Blip has probably had to deal with Home Depot's latest abortion of an ad campaign, where they're trying to cash in on the popular internet cats going around by making their own "wise cracking" internet cat. I almost didn't want to talk about it because it's so pitiful but I have to know that I'm not the only one who's putting up with this poo poo.

There's a Firestone commercial with two identical early '90s Dodge Caravans, one a sputtering jalopy and the other a clean original with Firestone tires. The jalopy is slowly parallel parking into the last parking spot on the street, and the clean Caravan just whips around the corner and does a 180º handbrake turn into the spot the jalopy was trying to get into. Every time I see it, all I can think of is, "What a tremendous rear end in a top hat for taking that guy's spot!  "
