The Jumbaco commercial.

gently caress off. I'm trying to watch the Kings game and you shitlords come in with your earworm garbage.

I'm boycotting them until I can get through a game without hearing that commercial.

Valentine's Day ads are getting kind of crass this year, I've seen at least two separate ads (one for the new Twilight movie on DVD and the other for some flower thing) that tell guys to buy these for their girlfriend because, while the guy himself might not like it, if he does he'll be getting sex later.

If you have to exchange expensive trinkets for sex...what does that make the woman?

It insults both genders, ironically the target gender the most, and yet the gullible just eat it up.

They always have to have a commercial in my Kings games to piss me off.

This is worse than the Jumbaco commercial.

Seems like there is always at least one commercial that irritates me in particular when I'm watching hockey.

Right now it's the mighty wing commercial. It's pretty obvious they are pandering to the youth demographics with LOOK FOOTBALL PLAYERS LOOK LOOK. It's all so very gauche.

That Time Warner commercial with the mom getting people up for black friday really rubs me the wrong way.

I guess it's from acting like black friday is important but there's also some random guy standing in her kitchen at 4am and he's all GET THIS PHONE BITCH.

I don't get NBC sports unless I borrow a cable box, so I have to listen to the Kings on the radio.

I am really getting pissed off with the budweiser ads about being a Kings fan. It's so loving obsequious. Hey guys I know some Kings trivia, buy our lovely beer.

Also the coke commercial.

More irritating radio commercials: The McDonald's ad about gamers.

Sure, all gamers are cloistered addicts. Let me go out and buy your flavorless Big Mac.

Carl's Jr ad.

It's so sexualized, it's almost a parody. The product is an afterthought. Some chick's rear end get shoved in your face, another random scantily scad chick walks into the barn for no reason, and then here's a burger I guess - scene.

So...all Carls Jr commercials ever?

Also, "another random" chick is Paris Hilton. Do you literally live under a rock? A rock on another planet?

I can remember the commercials being more about the product. Guy eats burger, burger drops down with wet sound, "new slightly reconfigured beef sandwich, only at Carl's Jr". That kind of thing.

This is just "hey tits and rear end, buy our poo poo, thanks". At least try to make the hallucinogenic cowgirl gyrations relevant.

Audi is pretty nasty this year. They have one where people are getting other cars as gifts, but an Audi drives by and they are suddenly disappointed.


I hate watching any kind of TV this time of year. Feel like I'm getting swarmed by locusts all the time desperately trying to guilt me or entice me into buying poo poo for Christmas. I swear they talk about Black loving Friday more than anything else now. They'll even invoke it in July and poo poo.

Reminds me of this. HURRY UP AND BUY.

Where did this Draft Kings poo poo come from? Last season they weren't around, and now they're doing full court press on radio and TV and sponsoring teams and actually have draft picks be officially part of the LA Kings broadcasts.

Fox News had a story about the new Mountain Dew flavor at a leading chicken wings chain.

Totally not an ad, as if the regular commercials simply wouldn't do it.

And this was at the gym, I had no control over the tv.

I wonder how much money and time goes into advertising movies in this culture. It's bizarre. We have commercials in commercials. Branding on top of branding.

What exactly is a 'long' burger and why exactly does burger king think smothering it in a 'butter sauce' would be appetizing?

It's a patty meant to fit on their chicken sandwich buns.

The butter sauce comes from them aping Jack in the Box, who aped it from someone much more high end.

RF remotes/devices smoke the absolute poo poo out of IR remotes. The response time is incredible.

Yeah, but I can't use my phone as a remote.

I'm constantly losing my remote and it doesn't have a ringer. It's funny how I got this option now but almost as soon as I get it I have to get a cable box that's RF and I'm back to square one.

I don't know if people have mentioned the Mcdonald's Yoga-themed spot, but I think it's really bizarre. 30 something woman grouses about her life, and then the instructor comes up and talks about Mcdonald's for some reason. It's like they just gave up on coherent commercials and just try to insert their brand into a situation their chosen demographic experiences. This happens to you? Cool, whatever, breakfast bowls.

One thing I won't miss about the Euros: That goddamned directtv commercial. I didn't like it before but they changed the song and it's even worse. The cadence is halting and it sounds like someone's parody.

Seriously, why did Mcdonald's not think 20 seconds straight of shrill juvenile joy would not get on people nerves? They obviously noticed how awful it is and have seemingly made the spot shorter, but still what the hell is going through their heads?

The Mcdonald's world cup spot is kind of racist.

The hispanics behind the counter are teaching the whites eating about soccer. That's not the racist part, the racist part is that the hispanics are pretty much all working at the Mcdonald's and the white people (along a black guy) are wearing dress shirts and ties.

I'm actually liking the Delta ads that have been showing up on the FX app. The music and Grand Budapest Hotel lighting and shots makes me feel the wonder of travel.

Of course to get to the FX app I have to look at their title card in the Fire Stick, which is currently literally a loving dead baby.
