muscles like this? posted:I was watching TV last night and saw a commercial for the latest "Kids Bop" and noticed that they were prominently saying that one of the songs is Lady Gaga's "Born This Way." Sensing that something might be a little off by this I looked online and surprise surprise they use a sanitized version of the song that removes any reference to sexual orientation, race, wealth or nationality. It kind of misses the whole point of the song. Yet they left in all the religious references!

Clamknuckle posted:I just saw a commercial for Wendy's that had a guy trapped in a video game? It seemed like they made a commercial for something else and decided to do a voice over for Wendy's instead of what it was originally for. It looked like they were trying to cash in on the Scott Pilgrim movie. A year after it came out.

I know movie commercials are rarely the greatest thing ever, but the ad for Bucky Larson seems as though it is a calculated effort to be as irritating as possible. Especially at the end with the "RATED R! HA HA HA HA!"

eBay has a new commercial. A man is laughed at and mocked for bringing pen and paper to a meeting where everyone else has a tablet. So while they are doing this, making various comments about how pens are obsolete, he is on his phone buying a tablet on eBay, and then brags about it to everyone. It's not that it's annoying like so many others on this list, it's just mindnumbingly stupid.

ONE YEAR LATER posted:I keep wondering if that is Nick Swardson and if it is man he's gotten fat, maybe too much Arby's is the problem. I am so glad I am not the only person who wonders this. But this ad is terrible. Did they tire of RB that quickly?

Apple seems to have returned to showing teens dancing to a lovely indie song to sell iPods. It plays every commercial break and I'm already sick of it on the first day.

There's this commercial for Accu-Check Nano that annoys the hell out of me. It has this poppy song that sounds like something from a Barbie commercial, and they play it every. single. break.

The ads for "For a Good Time Call..." are the epitome of terrible movie commercials. Very little about the movie, aside from a few "funny" clips, and interviews with the most irritating people at the screening declaring "It's like a guy movie!" and laughing like they saw a completely different movie.

I guess freecreditscore.com decided people liked their original band better and brought them back. Yay.

Are my eyes deceiving me, or is there a touched up version of the ancient Hershey's Kisses ringing bells commercial airing?

Really Lexus? You somehow found a way to make your holiday commercials worse by adding dubstep in the background.

RMZXAnarchy posted:I have to wonder what the market for this tripe is though, since I don't think anybody wants to listen to a hacked-up version of a song, they want the original song. I always wonder why they give you two copies when you order one. Is one CD of terrible covers not enough for some? A backup copy for when parents inevitably tire of it and hide/dispose of it?

SubponticatePoster posted:I don't know how old you are, but back when I was a wee kid (like, the 70s) Wendy's was loving awesome. The first ads I remember for them, even before Where's the Beef? was showing people taking a bite of the burger and then wiping their faces because they were cooked to order, not made at 10am and left under a heat lamp all day. It varies a lot, I guess. The one where I live is consistently amazing. The one in the next town over, 15 minutes away? Complete rear end.

Miss Kalle posted:I ended up getting that stupid Accucheck Nano jingle stuck in my head this moring, and it led me to wonder just what kind of dreams have to be crushed for someone to take the gig singing it. Maybe they had aspirations of being the next Britney or Adele, but here they are now. Someone needs to make "Behind the Music: Commercial Jingles"

Wendy's seems to have picked up the slack in the commercial theme of "Guy who definitely wants to gently caress our latest food product." Thanks, Wendy's, for implying your burger can also be used for masturbation.

Why does James Patterson need to advertise his books on TV? His commercials are usually awful. Now he doesn't even say what it's about, just references the title.

There's a Subway commercial now, featuring a man ordering a sandwich, describing the ingredients in the creepiest way possible to the girl at the register. He has no intention of eating this sandwich, this sandwich is solely for his sexual pleasure. And to top it all off, the woman behind him finishes with an "I'll have what he's having".

SpacePig posted:I think the best insurance mascot is still Erin Esurance, but only because Esurance was forced to stop making commercials with her after searching for her online would turn up more porn of her than links to the Esurance page itself. That didn't stop Progressive from using Flo.
