I'm staying with my girlfriend in Michigan for the week to spend Thanksgiving with her family. I always love the ridiculous local commercials I would never get to see otherwise. There's this whole series about gambling addiction that is just hilariously bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eS7Wl09HUOQ Speaking of local commercials, here's a classic from where I currently live in Florida. It's old, he actually injured his eye and is even more amazing with an eyepatch now (he apparently rejected a corneal implant or something...he pops up on the local news with updates on his condition occasionally), but this might be the best one he's ever made. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqeelZtrqyY

LeJackal posted:Activia/TruBiotics/Whateverthefuck probiotic fad product commercials. It's pretty much a textbook tampon ad applied to something else, which makes it even weirder "Hey, ladies, this party sure is fun, but shouldn't we be thinking about our... special problem?" "Is this about poo poo or blood, Martha?"

Also pardon the double post but I really hate the commercials for work boots where they're just mistakes like a construction truck trapping itself in bollards or a misspelled street painting (keep claer) because the dude filming these with his cell phone has the most grating laugh I've ever heard Especially because they keep playing them in pairs

It's literally just this off-camera dude giggling like a loving maniac in a poorly lit, undecorated room. It feels like the kind of thing he'd show off in his murder-dungeon when he brings in his victims "Can you believe what the IDIOT FUCKERS did here? If only they had worn more comfy boots, am I right?" *horrible screams*

Maybe there's a ranch council?

They have to remind people that eggs, milk and cheese aren't going to kill people with globs of cholesterol. They really are advertising to counteract the endless health segments on the nightly news that tell us dairy is the one thing that will kill us all.

I have never seen a USPS ad about sending letters. It's always about the different methods you can use to send packages, which is, y'know, useful and a good use of a commercial.Shimrra Jamaane posted:Oh my loving god, has anyone else seen that K-MArt "skipping" commercial?

Cottonelle has been trying for the better part of a year now to make a "thing" out of the complex process of wiping your rear end then following up with a baby wipe. I can't imagine what they intend to accomplish other than selling baby wipes to adults. raditts fucked around with this message at 15:26 on Nov 27, 2013 |

There's a relatively new McDonald's commercial that features two idiots spouting out a bunch of football gibberish comparing these things to how great this McD's deal is. I can't find a copy of it on youtube, but this commercial is driving me insane. It's like 20 seconds of the dumbest poo poo that makes zero sense. It is literally someone smashing together football terms into sentences. "It's like running the I-formation, out of the wishbone!" This has no meaning what so ever, and I have to see this commercial constantly during games.

The JC Penny with everyone singing about how they shouldn't bother to clean up the dishes so they can go shopping immediately after is increasingly getting on my nerves. Almost as much as that goddamn pig who has to show off his car insurance app. Why are you bragging about features I don't ever want to use? Why are you using an insufferable CGI pig? Who the gently caress goes to a football game and then fucks around with his goddamn car insurance app while telling everyone about it instead of watching the goddamned game?
