That one reminds me of those ads for tax lawyers that just make me (irrationally maybe?) angry: "Do you owe the IRS $100,000? We can get that down to $10,000!

Ironically I can't find a youtube video of it, but the youtube ad for Zoosk that starts "Liz, meet Brad" I swear is the only commercial on youtube right now. Someone did take it and try to make it "funny" I guess, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPhRK-5hRI0

Also they're donating a whole bunch of money to FFA based on the views of the commercial on Youtube, and since I work at an FFA school, that's pretty cool by me.

The phone lips one, it makes me happy and sad because the guy they're all rapping at is Fitz from the Lizzie Bennett Diaries, it's awesome to see him with legit work, but the commercial is just so annoying!

Annoying as hell local commercial. The concept is actually kind of funny (at least once) but the grating lady at the beginning saying "We're lost. We're lost. We're lost." What are you, a 5 year old? And I swear this comes up on every station. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6Z4teA9f1s

Kanish posted:I actually like those commercials, other than the fact they play non stop. If I made a pie chart of commercials, about 60% would be "obnoxious at any time;" 35 would be "good, but now obnoxious due to overplay," and 5% would be "good, now don't overplay it."

Just saw an obnoxious car commercial (shocking!) Cadillac XTS: teen/young guy is listening to music on earphones, gets into a car with an older man, and the music starts playing in the car. Young guy says "Did you get a new car?" the key point being he didn't notice until the music starts playing in the car. 1. If you don't recognize the car, why would you ask that question? 2. Does this family buy new Cadillacs so often that he can't tell when they're new?

Mahoning posted:I don't get the "Bing challenge" commercials. The Bing results always have photos and the google results don't. When I Google poo poo, there's always pictures in the results. I wouldn't be surprised if they're intentionally using an old version of explorer or something to make it look like that. My work is stuck on internet explorer from several versions ago (never mind the security risk /eyeroll) and google looks like crap. I got them to give me Chrome, though, for a certain site I have to use, and google is just so nice there.

raditts posted:Luvs already took this one a couple years ago. If you've never seen this, you brought this upon yourself. Gee thanks for that, I had erased that from my memory. But speaking of bringing things on myself, sometimes I get distracted while watching Project Runway (because I'm almost always doing something else at the same time, PR needs like 10% of my attention), and forget to FF through the commercials. And then I'm subjected to things like this rap for the Lifetime show Double Divas: Click at your own risk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGvr3KQOKTU

I can't be mad at that ad because that actress played Jane in the Lizzie Bennet Diaries and she was just the personification of  the entire time. I will always support her. Even in this weird skittles commercial:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fywEqYFtaQA

I know this is my fault for never looking up one of those Youtube ad blockers, but ads on Youtube have started doing the whole "louder than the regular videos" thing that commercials on TV did. I guess I need to start lobbying my senator.

ElwoodCuse posted:there are more Subways than McDonald's in this country. A friend and I were discussing this the other day. Remember when Subway was kind of a new thing? And then all of a sudden they were everywhere? I remember taking a trip down I5 with my dad in the mid-90s where I kept pointing out all the exits that had a subway, because we'd just eaten at one as a novelty in Tacoma. I looked it up and the first one on the West Coast was in 1968, but I just remember the spread of Subway being a thing growing up. And now I live in a town of 35,000 with 4 Subways. And only 1 Starbucks.

muscles like this? posted:So, uh, apparently someone at Covergirl didn't exactly do any research into The Hunger Games seeing as they've debuted the "Capitol Collection." You know, based on the decadent evil society that enables mass murder. They did it last movie too. But really, what kind of products ARE you going to tie to that movie? Makeup is kind of the perfect tie in.

This commercial bugs me. Even if you think that their kids are supposed to be high school students instead of college or older like they look, what teenagers don't lock the door, set the alarm, and for god's sake, leave water running? And then the mom tells them to clean up for dinner... again, it's like the kids are supposed to be three or something. I get that teens might leave lights on, but water running, realllllly? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFyMowdZld0

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!"
