There has been a stunning increase in radio commercials wherein people loving say "hashtag" in dialogue. Like "I fell down the stairs, I feel like I'm some sort of hashtag moron." It makes me want to go on some sort of crusade of violence. Also a Toyota commercial does it too on the TV so its vaguely relevant to this thread.

That new jerk IS annoying. And as a dude who lives in south Texas, a guy busting through a wall with a sledgehammer screaming "¡MÉXICOOOO!  " would freak me out.

What is Bill Hader doing in a commercial for cellphones? I really loved the guy on SNL. It's sad to see there three brightest stars wind up in terrible places. Sudekis is doing terrible movies featuring Jennifer Anniston, Samberg is doing some really stupid cop drama/sandler movies, and Hader is now reduced to this.  .

FuzzySkinner posted:What is Bill Hader doing in a commercial for cellphones? That's about on par for what SNL people do, they go and do big name comedy films but since the films are big name they have a lot of production and blah blah they turn out poo poo because it was a big movie with a now big star so whoever is financing it wants it to make more megabux and it ends up lovely. I mean really think back about how many SNL stars go on to immediately make something pretty good that isn't a smaller production, a niche thing, or years after they left the show. You'll come up with some but then you're forgetting all the other stuff they've done that everyone's forgotten that was similar to whatever this pot dealer movie with Sudeikis is (is it actually bad? I do kinda like it looks good). Also comedians aren't writers and have bad taste or something. edit: Take Dan Aykroyd for example, you may think oh The Blues Brothers and Ghostbusters but then you're forgetting 1941, which came out right after he left SNL, or whatever Mr Mike's Mondo Video is, also right after SNL, you forget Neighbors (I'm presuming it's a lovely movie), and Doctor Detroit, or Spies Like Us, or Nothing But Trouble (a movie he wrote and directed keep in mind). People from SNL have a lot of misses too you know. Also SNL kinda sucks and always has  edit: Actually in other commercial news, Marineland has made a new commercial with their same ol lovely annoying song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AZVooO1FZM If you don't know what Marineland is it's a lovely waterpark thing near Niagara Falls that is pretty infamous for having a commercial that ran for like 15 years (seriously it's been about that long) all over Canada and parts of the US with a really catchy but horrible song. Here's the old one if you've never had the pleasure of being subjected to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1XOzE15iPk piratepilates fucked around with this message at 00:50 on Jul 27, 2013 |

Is anyone surprised Andy Samberg is turning into Adam Sandler 2.0? The first time I saw him I immediately thought "is he gonna be this generations Adam Sandler?" Not that I think it's a good thing to be or anything, but just like the 2013 edition. I loving hate that Scion commercial, and all commercials that do that poo poo. Especially Kit Kats. Go gently caress yourself, kitkats.

I never thought he was funny in the least bit. Just like Sandler. The only thing worse than Sandler are his hardcore fans.

He still writes for South Park (whether that's a step up is arguable) and I think I saw him the other day on Craig Ferguson about a movie he's in / going to be in, so it's not like he's doing nothing but cell phone commercials. They're pretty funny commercials so I don't see what the big deal is.

I think that was The To-Do List, which he's in and his wife directed or something along those lines, which seems like a good movie but also on the smaller scale of things. And I didn't say anything about those commercials because hell I'd do those commercials, some company decided to pay him megabucks to talk about how great the Galaxy or whatever is for 30 seconds, that's a good deal. edit: you son of a bitch did you quote me and edit it out or am I going crazy

I guess advertisers must have heard me complaining about "I Love It" and decided to stop playing it...and start playing "Can't Hold Us" by Macklemore in everything. Also shame on Hot Pockets for trying to pass off their product as some kind of gourmet treat that won't burn the gently caress out of your mouth.

It's not really a TV ad, and I don't know how widespread this is or not, but at the store where I work there's this Snapple advertisement that gets played over the loudspeaker every so often, with this announcer guy and this old man talking about half-and-half iced tea and lemonade, and the announcer treats it as the most AWE-INSPIRING, MIND-BLOWING THING EVER. I have to hear this poo poo every hour for eight hours a day while I do inventory and I am just so sick of it.

Yeah, I've been in stores where there is a terrible loving commercial about the store that comes up several times in my short shopping trip. I think to myself "If I had to hear this thing for 8 hours I would kill as many customers as I could and then myself." I also wonder how people who drive the loving ice cream truck don't go insane and just start mowing down kids with that horrible music.

Its part of their hilarious product relaunch where they're trying to appeal to Millenials because their studies told them that Millenials know what Prosciuotto is. I'm not joking about that. Chasing Millenials while cutting costs is the same reason KFC now has no bones in its chicken so prepare to experience the joy of being targeted to by people who don't really understand data.

Is it just me or are there WAY too many kids making GBS threads their pants (or making GBS threads in general) in commercials this year? To wit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCuyMbyFE_U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZjREqarKLI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GZVUfKFwMA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOS8T_LIo6E It's not "cute" or funny or anything.

I think to myself "If I had to hear this thing for 8 hours I would kill as many customers as I could and then myself." It's annoying, but after working at a store that played loud music/ads on a CD (so they would repeat constantly throughout the day) I found that eventually you just kind of tune it out unless it's really super obnoxious. I kind of stopped noticing there was even music playing at all most of the time. OK, Christmas did kind of make me consider suicide but the music was only partially to blame.
