By far the most obnoxious commercial currently on TV.



I also have to just laugh at those beer commercials that act as though being able to taste your beer is some major revolution. :capitalism:, I guess.

So nearly every ad that I see on streaming services like Hulu is terrible, especially since you see the same ones over and over.

But one set that I’ve been seeing a lot of lately that I think are so clever and charming are the new LEGO ads.

I can’t find them on YouTube or anything but they all take place at an airport gate with the (LEGO) gate agent announcing over the loudspeaker to the (LEGO) passengers why the flight is delayed with funny reasons:

-the wings are the plane are gone
-economy plus is gone, with a garbage truck in its place
-there are now 9 sets of wheels and we’ll be taxiing to the destination
-etc.

It could just be me, but I despise those Modelo commercials that use "The Ecstasy of Gold" music from The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. They're trying to associate that music with their brand, and that pisses me off because I don't want to think of lovely beer when I hear that epic music.

Agree. The slow-motion work on every single one annoys me too. Also that they’re really reaching for heroes - like, thanks for being an aerial firefighter, but c’mon.

I would say that they made the whole thing up but the guy named Mac Book is so devoid of any charisma or personality that I know that they really did look for a dude named Mac Book.

I hope it was worth it to have some monotone bro pitching your product.

If that commercial didn't air 40 times during your average football game I would actually enjoy it. The lead singer winking and the song having a part that goes "GET UP, GET UP, GET UP" while they stay immobile are great gags.

This is probably the most annoying commercial on television right now. It's so cringey and false. Plus, there are like 20 songs that go "Valerie," including the original song that Amy Winehouse covered.

I took it as he acts like he doesn't like the song, but then he asks Alexa to play it for him; and then oh ho! The grandson catches him listening to it! And yay, they have something in common I guess?

It's a stupid commercial without a clear message but oh man the horrible ADR is so off putting because it sticks out so badly. As far as the message I assume the commercial is trying to push Alexa to millennials/gen Zers who need a toy to keep their pet elders entertained so they don't need to hang around so much. At the end of the commercial the poor old guy went full Stockholm on the Valerie song in a bid to keep the grandson around for a bit longer :smith:

Peyton used to be ok but after the success of whatever ad 10 years ago where he talked about his "laser rocket arm," everyone in marketing/advertising must've thought he was so hilarious and now he won't go away.

Me too. I have absolutely zero clue what - if anything - that dumb commercial is even trying to say. It's on so many levels of irony, I guess, that it's completely incomprehensible.

I hate the "clever" Sonic and GEICO commercials too, but at least those ads have a message that tells us something about the product.

I guess this would be the thread to ask. There's a commercial about some town that's super into sports. In the one commercial there's a kid who doesn't like sports or something and the dad is upset.
Long story short, the dad is one of those "that guy" actors and I can't place him and it's been driving me nuts. He looks like a mix of Dean Winters and that creepy hitman guy from the last season of justified Jonathan Tucker. Does anyone know what or who I'm talking about?
Edit:VV drat you're good!
Edit 2: Thanks for the lead, it's This guy.

I think you're talking about the Dr. Pepper "Fansville" commercials. I don't know the actor though, but he does look familiar.
