To me (and most other Savannahians), he was just another "injury lawyer" (I guess "ambulance chaser" isn't PC anymore). The local naysayers believe that letting everybody know the ex-police chief was corrupt will scare people away. God forbid one more person WON'T get to eat at Paula Deen's restaurant. It's all a bunch of nonsense and should fade away in a few weeks. Just like the Paula Deen "scandal". Just look at the story in the local paper. Warning: that website sucks and is now under a paywall once you hit 4-5 "premium" pages. Just clear your cookies if you get the paywall warning. His biggest competition is this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LHo5U-GG0Q and this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6Y0GlqagrM

Well I'm not gonna doubt personal injury lawyers can obviously be pieces of poo poo in their own right, all I know is that ad is loving awesome as poo poo.

The Trumoo commercial where the kid asks for something from the fridge, and the mother has to have a battle of conscience over whether to give her kid the chocolate milk that she already bought.

But the chocolate milk has chemicals in it. The very same chemicals that the mom had when she was a kid in the 80s!

As long as we've been talking about things named 'Casino' -- those ads for the Cosmopolitan at Las Vegas, ugh. I don't know if it's possible to be any more pretentious and annoying.

Oh my god, I hate this commercial so much. I have the bland expressions on the models faces, I hate the music, I hate the awkward dancing. The bad thing is the clothes are actually cute, but the commercial is actively making me hate them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rny6JX_2bsE

Just saw a commercial that basically consisted of a guy defending his masculinity after using his wife/girlfriends bodywash by doing man things. Because that girl's soap is totally gonna give you cooties or something, guy who's in his mid-20s.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cihJeu9VQjU This one is running all over the place lately and it's annoying. I hate how most companies feel the need to include social media icons at the end of their commercials as if I could click on them or anything. KFC has been one of the worst offenders of that for a while now because they list all five. They were doing this before they wanted people to hashtag their poo poo too.

Any commercial that features a webcam, or phone selfie is terrible. Epiduo uses one too. Yeah sure, a 15 year old kid is going to catalogue her acne problems on the internet.

Add to that list all of the recent KFC ones. The lady that "just discovered KFC has lunch", the two ladies trying all the different KFC lunches, and don't forget the lady feeding her children KFC. All shot in web-cam style confessionals, like "did you know you can eat KFC? Isn't it crazy! Watch me blow the lid on this WIDE OPEN!"

It's not body wash, it's special vagina wash so obviously if a man uses it his balls will probably just shrivel up and fall off unless he counteracts it by doing MAN THINGS.  The whole thing gets even dumber when you realize the stuff comes in a bottle covered in flower designs, smells like women's perfume and is made by a company well known for making feminine hygiene products. Guy shouldn't worry about his masculinity so much as his common sense.

Men are giant babies when it comes to things that are deemed feminine. I worked at a Bath and Body Works for 3 years, and I always got a good chuckle watching about 2/3 of the couples come up to the store. The woman would walk right in giving no fucks. The man on the other hand wouldn't set foot in the store, literally. Men would stop right at the line, turn around and wait at the rail.

I've seen episodes of New Girl where the hashtag actually shows up a few seconds BEFORE the punchline is even said. Which, obviously, deflates the joke entirely

I'm a guy that worked for Bath & Body Works at one point (I did floor set work once a month after hours. Our team was mainly composed of boyfriends of the girls that worked there.) and even I'm reluctant to go into those stores. I have a special bar of soap from Lush that I use when I'm feeling down. For instance, after manly things like being angry that sports team lost or to get the smell of my terrible cooking that I think is great off of me.

There's an ad for The Voice that they just showed during the Olympics in which Adam Levine and Blake Shelton have ripped the other two judges' chairs out and are using the chairs to travel down a ski jump hill. It is absolutely as cringe inducing as it sounds. And the lovely cgi used to create the "footage" is just the lovely cherry on top.

I hate movie commercials that put a hashtag with the movie's title on the top of the ad instead of just the movie's title. For example, About Last Night. I saw a commercial for Golden Corral advertising their new lobster selections (I can't imagine how awful that will be) and I'm pretty sure this was the song that played in the background. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6VpX-feA2M

Golden Corral's worst offense is their chocolate/white chocolate/caramel Wonderfall, which is a perpetually cascading, multi-tiered fondue fountain featuring melted chocolates and such. I can't even begin to imagine the sheer number of airborne particulates, bacterias, germs and tiny churning food morsels that exist within the Wonderfall, not to mention the amount of people and/or little kids who stick their booger and spittle-covered fingers in the goddamn things when nobody is looking because they're a bunch of goddamn savage animals with no couth. I wish some local news station's investigative team would do an expose on that loving thing and show the public what an incredibly bad idea it is to use it. Now watch the commercial and think about the diseases swirling around in this abomination: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXQejgFYig0 Gonz fucked around with this message at 06:59 on Feb 10, 2014 |

EPG wrote a great front-page article about buffet restaurants a couple of years ago. http://www.somethingawful.com/news/grosser-than-ticks/ I went to a buffet place with my ex once. The food was disgusting and one of the tables had a very rotund man sitting at it.
