If there's one thing that's worse than seeing an awful commerical it's seeing the same bland spot during every...single...break. Like that Audi one during the Emmys last night. I don't care about careless loving roads and people anymore! I just want Audi to die and stop showing this crap.

Magikarpal Tunnel posted:The worst part of the recent Golden Corral commercials is a bit at the end that says 'come join us for Thanksgiving!' You'd be really surprised at just how many people go to Golden Corral/Old Country Buffet/All-You-Can-Eat places on Thanksgiving. It's crazy.

DJExile posted:I'm trying to figure out which car ads raise my blood pressure more, the Chevy Volt one where they seem to be mocking the drat thing: At least the Volt ones are mildly funny. "But it's got a gas tank" "It's got an electric tank here" "Electric tank? Really? Is that where you pour the electricity in?!"

redshirt posted:So glad that douchebag from the Hanes commercial is back sticking his junk in MJ's face, but now he's got a new job as smug douchebag for Chase credit cards or something. Focus groups have proven: America loves douchebags! gently caress your observation. All I can see when those Hanes commercials come on is that MJ is trying to bring the Hitler stache back. I can't get over it.

ProfessorGroove posted:For Pepsi right? That might have been the worst commercial I've ever seen. It just reeked off "what do the kids these days think is cool?" Elton John might as well have announced he must go because his home planet needs him then flown off frame by frame at the end. At least then it would have been ironic instead of insulting. I think he may have been referring to the general presentation of Elton John as a king of some realm. That said, I disliked the commercial as a result of some contract for the X-Factor winner (Contest winner shall appear in a super bowl ad for pepsi). Pepsi shot themselves in the foot by throwing in this unknown (how many people watched X-Factor anyway?) to sing to Elton John. Now everyone is trying to figure out who this girl is instead of talking about the commercial/pepsi. You put any main celebrity in there instead and you've got a decent commercial.

iastudent posted:They kind of disappeared off the face of the earth for awhile, but recently they've been coming back somehow. There was one in my hometown when I was growing up that closed down when I moved out about 7 years ago, but then a new one popped up in there about 2 years ago. Same thing goes for where I'm living now. I think there was a time when Little Caesars was all about being both a pizza delivery service and a Chuck-E-Cheese style playground/party destination (at least in my area it was). Then the business tanked and they closed a lot of locations and ditched the whole party thing. I think they've been slowly building up their network of cheap and fast pizza pick-up and delivery locations since.

I saw it more as an extension of the whole "let's put what were saying on the screen because people reading it mean it'll sink in more" trend like from the Ford Truck commercials was Denis Leary.

DrBouvenstein posted:And to contribute, gently caress VW for that stupid "slap-back" Beetle ad...which everyone else probably loves. But that song is terrible. Plus, at one point, the lyrics say something like 'right hand slap back!' but he's clearly slapping with his left, what with driving a US car and all. This almost belongs in the "Things that unreasonably enrage you" thread.

Rirse posted:While I was on vacation Florida I kept seeing this awful ad for some used car lot named Courtesy. It had a bunch of people singing off key to a variation of the Ghostbuster theme, but about the crappy car lot instead. Can't find it on Youtube through. I will never understand local car dealerships' obsession with using the Ghostbusters theme.

So it only took 2.5 days for NBC to go through all their available Olympic commercials. I'm already sick of them which is sad because some are alright. But jesus, I do not need to see another Coke or BP commercial and...Oh...there it is again. Thwomp fucked around with this message at 14:49 on Jul 31, 2012 |

I'm so sick and tired of Verizon's stupid shared data commercial. The one with the tuba. It's a horrible commercial about an absentee father who couldn't be bothered enough to show up to his son's lovely recital. It should be focused on the grandparents who presumably live very far away.

What the gently caress is up with this Verizon commercial with the over the top IT guy and the incredulous cubical worker. I don't understand the point of having either in the ad. Who is the audience supposed to relate to? Also, it's on every other NFL commercial break. gently caress it and it's lovely tablets.

Y-Hat posted:EPG made a great front page article about Lexus commercials two years ago, which were even worse than the ones we have now. They operated under the assumption that everyone knows the "Lexus December to Remember" jingle. Someone at Honda really must've loved his Jack Sparrow bit on SNL and thought "this is how you sell cars to young people."

Speaking of Nissan commercials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiprDsiDvIQ I wouldn't hate this so much if the NFL wasn't playing it every other break. Also, I don't care that there's a disclaimer, what's the point of showing the car doing something it clearly can't? How does that sell more cars?

DJExile posted:It's purely there to show off the car in a stylish way, not much more. Showing the car doing extreme things like that is basically what every pickup truck commercial has done for the last 20 years. There's showing things that are plausible for a car/truck to do and then there's outright fantasy. And not fantasy like a Kia Soul zooming through space but a weird middle ground where it's impossible and not a part of some stylized theme. Also, it doesn't help it just has bad CG. gently caress it.

Brian Moser posted:What's so wrong with white people that I constantly hear Taco Bell ruins their insides? Is it serious, or is it a joke reference to a movie or cultural zeitgeist piece of humour? Here's a hint, if you stop eating canned food and mayo out of jars, you'll be able to handle Real World Food, and hell maybe even leave the country and eat Other Stuff, too! It is, literally, the only fast food chain that you can consistently bet on getting food poisoning from in less than 10 visits. Ask any given 10 people who admit to having eaten there and you'll find nearly all of them have either had food poisoning or known someone who has.

It's too new even to find a link on YouTube but there's a new disturbing BP gas ad ("I'm giving you a gallon of BP has because you're my best friend."). I only needed to see it once to be both confused and put off by it.

QuickenLoan's new-ish Rocket Mortgage commercials. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=to79_vIukA8 gently caress these for a couple of reasons. 1 - It's really dumb text with a repeating sound effect. 2 - The text is stupid bullshit (you like rockets right? So you'll love our ROCKET mortgages!  )3 - In this one in particular, the rocket keeps going and going when it is much smaller in wideshots. It makes me irrationally angry. :sperg:

Not to say it isn't crazy but NFL games are also stop/start affairs. I'd be more interested in just ad-time versus field broadcast time (all broadcast time during regulation). I mean, yeah, it's not soccer where play is non-stop for 45 minutes or hockey where play is only interrupted every now and again.
