I usually have Teletoon on in the evenings to watch Futurama and American Dad, and this Zoosk commercials plays at least once during every show. So I've had the privilege of seeing it about 5 times ever night for well over a year now, and it doesn't look like it's going away anytime soon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I61n_kkRRHA

Doc Hawkins posted:Is this the one you guys are talking about? Seems pretty innocuous to me. This reminds me of a short horror story Clive Barker wrote about two villages that compete with each other every decade by strapping all their citizens together naked to form two giant golems, and then they fight each other.

RillAkBea posted:Granted you're not as bad as that one guy somewhere on the forums who was mortally disgusted when he found a chicken spine in his fried chicken.. the horror! I remember watching one of the travel shows where the host was eating the local cuisine of fried water beetles and giant grubs and stuff like that. Anyway, he was having a hard time getting it down, but his local guide loved the stuff. So the hosts asks the guy if there are any foods that he can't stand eating and the guy said that he absolute can't eat cheese. When the host asked him why not, the guy said and he couldn't understand how anyone could eat something that was basically spoiled animal tit-juice.

So far I think I've seen the trailer for the claymation movie, ParaNorman, about 5 or 6 times on tv now. This wouldn't be memorable except for the fact that the commercial is over a minute long and at the end says that it won't be in theaters until August, 2012.

Even after seeing it on tv about 30 times now, I know I shouldn't like the Microsoft commercial with the young couple announcing their wedding, but the girl's facial expressions make it funny every time.

I used Quibids for a while and I wouldn't quite call it a scam. It's basically not any different from any lottery or other game of chance. Someone is going to get the big ticket items for cheap, but the chances of that person being you is extremely slim. One useful thing about the site though is the "buy it now" option which lets pay the full price of the item at any time, minus the value of whatever bids you have already sunk into that item. So say there was a $100 gift card up for bidding and you bid on it 100 times ($60 total) and never won it, you could decide to just buy it outright for another $40. You would take a hit due to taxes and shipping, but it's not as bad as being completely out of your bids and ending up with nothing. I eventually quit using the site after I used up my first bid package since it was just too random. But overall I came out ahead as I won about $100 worth of gift cards with my initial $60 investment. (minus shipping fees) Vakal fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Feb 1, 2012 |

Zifnab posted:Or you could just buy the $100 gift card for $100 dollars Well, that's just if things don't fall your way and you're forced to buy out. There always the chance you could get lucky and get the $100 gift card for 60 cents. Hence the gambling aspect.

There's a new commercial for Post Grains cereal that's pretty annoying. It's basically just has a bunch of women wandering around in a field saying how hard it is to eat right so just eat their lovely cereal instead. "They say you're supposed to count calories, eat more protein and cut down on carbohydrates, but that is sooooo confusing. Just eat our cereal instead because it's made of grains you see so it's healthy and we're women and everything we put in our bodies is healthy because we're women and we know best!"

Not really a bad commercial, but every time that A&W commercial comes on with the two guys singing, "It takes two, baby!" it makes me look up since the one guy sounds so much like Jack Black.

I get a kick out of commercials for junk food where the only semi-positive attribute they can say about their product is that it's "A source of food energy." Always in fine print of course. Must be a legal thing.

veedubfreak posted:5 hour energy works perfectly fine when I make the 15-17 hour drive from my house back to my parents' house once a year. I'm in the same boat. It's probably just a placebo effect, but a bottle of energy drank does seem to make the last couple of hours of a 10+ hour drive not so horrible. Of course, a bag of chocolate covered espresso beans works even better.

They'll get in your house, kill you, eat you and use your precious quilted bathroom tissue to wipe the remains of YOU off their hairy asses!" The original commercials used to say "better than that kitten brand" which was obviously the Royale brand toilet paper. I guess they must have been threatened since now they say "bird brand". I have no clue which one that is.

Rogers Canada has been running a long series of "hip family" ads for the last two years or so to promote their phone and cable packages. The thing I find amusing about them is that they keep using the same woman to play the mom of the family, but the father and children keep changing. The best theory I've come up with is that she's a black widow that kills her family and re-marries every 6 months just to get out of Roger's restrictive data plan contracts.

I still think the most unrealistic commercials are the ones for paper towels or other cleaning supplies where the kids spill something or make a huge mess on purpose and the mom just smiles and happily starts cleaning. We were all kids at one time and we all know that is not how that scenario would play out.

Clear Blue has been showing the same drat commercial for the last 2+ years where one women announces to her friend that she's two weeks pregnant despite never visiting a doctor because the magic stick told her so. What makes it odd is since the commercial is so old now, the baby would have either been born long ago or else the woman has been living in a delusional state.

I've always wondered, when something like Star Wars is shoe horned into a commercials to sell a completely unrelated product, which party is footing the bill to have the commercial made and have it air? Do they go 50/50 or does some company beg Disney to let them use Star Wars so people might actually give a poo poo?
