They're the middle aged "everyone at the office says I should do stand up" dad so convinced of their own greatness they even did an ad campaign that was nothing but call backs to their previous ads. The only GEICO ad I really like is the "slasher movie" one. The look on the guy's face at the end is hilarious. *sigh* Now I HAVE to kill these people.

Mahoning posted:Are you kidding? I've seen that commercial no less than a BILLION times. It would play like every commercial break over the summer when watching Hulu with ads. Til I ponied up for no ads after canceling Netflix and Amazon. That poo poo shows up on Food Network a lot. Those dumb competition shows are usually my jam while doing house work, but oh my loving God, they have this rotation of about four ads that shows up every commercial break, and that is not an exaggeration in the slightest. Every. loving. Commercial. Break. -Center for Missing and Exploited Children where a boy goes missing for 33 years. -An ad about a faceless creep threatening to leak a lady's nudes if she doesn't do a cam show for him -three anonymous tip line ads where the informant's voice is wildly different than the person (like an Australian male when the caller is a young woman) -an ad about missing teens with 'Runaway Train' playing during it. -the odd insurance commercial pops up too I mute the ads as fast as I can.

LadyPictureShow posted:That poo poo shows up on Food Network a lot. Are you watching this on a service that tailors your ads? My mom's Comcast tailors to her area, which is generally rich but she lives in the poor part, so she gets tons of ads about investments, fancy vacations, BMWs, etc, whereas friends in different areas and of younger ages get "funny" ads and such. If I accidentally connect to the public Xfinity in my building I get ads in Spanish. If these ads are, in fact, being tailored to you...

A regular guy is just in a suit, saying Geico is so easy a caveman can do it, then there's a smash and the camera pans to reveal the "behind the scenes" caveman boom-mike operator who shouts, "Not cool!" and storms off.

No one is more thoroughly confident they're the funniest people on earth than the people who write Geico and Progressive commercials. Some of the progressive ones are just so bereft of anything even close to creativity too. Like as awful as the hump day commercial is, i understand how it appeals to boring boomers or whatever. But the Progressive on ice commercial? Who is that even for?

Progressive commercials are mostly better than Geico's monkey cheese. Progressive on ice and the theme park are definite misses but Flo dating (he's got pics of you on his phone) and Jamie's mansion are good. edit: the 10 second version of this commercial is god awful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNRoNy20QjY

AT&T's "Don't settle for just Okay" commercials really say a lot about them because in almost every situation what they're presenting is not in any way 'Just Okay' but rather comes across as pretty bad.

Halloween is over so it's time for nonstop Black Friday and holiday ads! In the meantime I found a few nostalgic Christmas ads I don't hate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oKY3pnNht0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoeKvqIRyIs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWCZxTxax1M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MadGwgiRgAM Taerkar posted:AT&T's "Don't settle for just Okay" commercials really say a lot about them because in almost every situation what they're presenting is not in any way 'Just Okay' but rather comes across as pretty bad. "Let's be honest - you're not going to have any choice but settling for 'just okay' because your only other options are DSL and satellite!"

What company is going to take the award for “that loving ad” this Christmas season? Like, on the level of the KMart “the lights” one, Hyuandai’s Pomplamoose ad, or whatever the hell it was Apple was doing last year

Taerkar posted:The December To Remember Sales Event is the center square on the bingo card of horrible holiday commercials. Yeah, they suck but it’s been such a consistent level and type of suckitude for so long it doesn’t even register. A big factor is always “who has a song that gets absolutely stuck in your head that’s also infuriatingly bad”, with a good “what the hell is this even for?” Factor also making for a worst-of.

Disney already spamming "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year." Also Will Arnett either needs to stop doing commercial voiceovers, or do all the voiceovers. No in-between.

This isn't a Christmas thing, but Corona* commercials piss me off for a similar reason. They're trying to associate "The Ecstasy of Gold" from The Good, The Bad and the Ugly with their brand, which annoys me because I don't want to think of a beer commercial when I hear that really cool song. * I'm pretty sure it's Corona, but it could be Modelo?
