I can't find the commercial on Youtube, but if you have a problem with wifi TVs, try a loving WIFI REFRIGERATOR! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3e5aBh7JUI Here's a video of someone demonstrating it. It's the epitome of "First World Problems." The commercial makes me want to throw a shoe at my television. And if I do that, I'm probably going to replace it with a wifi enabled microwave or something.

See, if the fridge did ANY of that, it would be worth it. But This POS just accesses recipe sites and reminds you to go get your kids from school. If my fridge told me I was out of mustard and planned a grocery list for me based on my usual purchases I'd mortgage my car to get it. This is just a smart phone that keeps your milk cold. Pointless.

THIS. Jesus Christ this commercial makes me LIVID. Who the hell is so permissive with a 10 year old kid that they are AFRAID to tell the kid the cereal isn't "His." This kid is way too old to be allowed to be that picky an eater. My 11 year old saw this and said "That kid's a jerk, he needs to get over it."
If I buy Corn Flakes, my kids eat Corn Flakes. Or they just don't get cereal.
If I buy kiddy cereal it's because they DESERVE it, not because they are entitled to special kids cereal because they won't eat the healthy stuff and then I eat most of it.

This Abilify commercial really bothers me because the "depression" is just loving adorable. I actually feel bad for the little gray cloud as it gets smaller and smaller. He just wants to be your friend you sad bitch!

I'm pretty sure this commercial doesn't do what it intended to do. If you want to show us how your drug can eradicate your horrible sense of self loathing, then don't make the drat mascot look like it belongs on a Care Bear's stomach.

And for the record, no you aren't supposed to know who they are. They aren't anyone, or rather, they aren't twins. They are one person, a voice actor named Ron Maestri. I have no loving clue why they would pull a twin act and bother with making them sound like they are some important celebrity, but they are a lie.

The newest Happy Meal commercial is themed for the new Puss in Boots movie and the kids in it are all hispanic. Cause the cat is Antonio Banderas. I don't know why it bugs me, it just seems sorta demeaning as if McDonalds thinks only hispanics would care about a movie staring a spanish guy.

Especially offensive because he isn't a Hispanic American, he's Spanish. Mexican does not equal Spanish, and most Hispanic Americans do not care about or relate to Spanish people at all.

Oh yeah, it's a terrible, terrible deal that preys on people who are desperate. But places like that, or payday loans, never tell you how badly you're getting screwed.

Except for the Native American banks. At least their ads tell you up front they're loving you.

Exactly why I love the Western Sky commercials. They really hit home the message that "You're a loser and you're broke, but if you're that loving desperate we'll slide you a grand for 15 thousand." Even the drum beat in the background sounds like a man being rhythmically beaten for not coughing up his interest fees. Honesty in advertising folks, got to love it.

On the other hand those loving sappy "Foundation for a Better Life" http://www.values.com/inspirational-stories-tv-spots/110-We-Shall-Be-Free commercials piss me off. The company that does them was founded by Philip Anschutz, the fundamentalist, Kyoto banishing big time oilman also known as "The Greediest Executive in America." It's a blatant and terrible lie that is basically saying "You can make the world a better place for all by not being gay or a democrat, and also by not arguing with big oil and just following the status quo. Don't question authority, just be a sheep." It is made all the worse by the fact that it heavily features minorities and foreigners, two groups that would suffer the most if the people who made this were to stay in power.

The world needs more honest Native Americans and less white liars, is what I'm saying.

Oh...my...God. We know this is a vibrating foot file, WHY do we need to see the literal sheets of flesh peeling off? I could have gone the rest of my life not seeing some woman on TV sloughing off half her drat foot. Also on the youtube version you can't really hear it, but on TV there's this constant droning buzz every time they show the thing in action that causes an instant headache for me.

Yeah, I think Western Sky is still easily the worst of the bunch.

Actually, i really like Western Sky because unlike all the other loan companies they literally say "This is going to cost you a lot of loving money, and you should only do this if you literally have no other choice on Earth at all." It's one of the most honest commercials of our time.

I unironically can't wait for them to fall under the same legislation as real cigarettes. Places are already banning them because the mist is irritating to people, all it takes is one study that says that huffing unregulated chemical water is uniquely harmful or that it makes kids think smoking is OK we won't have to deal with people shoving their smoky robo-dicks in our faces anymore.

I love my e-cig, but would never dream of using it in public and I'm with you on the regulation thing. Mine doesn't even use nicotine anymore (because I slowly removed it) but all I can think of is "If I used this in public someone might think it's real and try to light up themselves and then everyone will hate me." That by itself is enough reason to me to not let it be allowed in public. Those commercials make us normal e-cig users (I hate the term "vapers") look like smug douchebags. Also thanks to Jenny McCarthy watch the drat things turn out to cause Autism.

Plus upon really looking at chocolate diamonds I've realized that they aren't even chocolate colored. They are more light brown, and the "chocolate" color comes from the fact that they loving tint the gold around the gems brown. It's like me wearing a brown shirt and proclaiming myself African American.

I would like to ring in the new year by nominating this as-seen-on-TV thing as worse than even the bacon bowls (they're both going to end in tears, but with the bacon bowls you are only harming people who are fully aware that they are eating stuff out of a bowl made of bacon and willingly doing so). Every single thing about this is upsetting. :ohdear:

(Best/worst part: the "Bird Expert".)

Oh God, this is truly horrible. How many poor baby birds are going to die when the suction cups come unstuck? I've never had a single thing attached by cups ever stay stuck for more than a week. This is the kind of poo poo that ignorant suburbanites buy for their kids, and there's going to be a lot of "mommy what happened to the birdies?" discussions come Spring.

There's this commercial showing for a movie called "The Boxtrolls" that's been showing on every break on NBC. The annoying things in it are many, but primarily this: it doesn't come out until September so most of the "trailer" is people painting models and the song they use is so drawn out and irritating that it makes the commercial feel 20 minutes long. The whole thing is also done in this horribly sentimental way that screams "hey, we made Coraline so you should be wetting yourself right now!" The only actual film footage looks pretty bland and I think by September I'm going to hate this movie.

To be fair they are tucked far back behind a glass partition and kids can't reach it without putting the food on a long skewer. Doesn't stop germs or nasty adults though.

In Utah it's, "Now you have a friend in the diamond business. Open weekdays till 8, Saturdays till 5, closed Sundays. [something I can't remember] or visit us online at Shane-Co dot com."

I don't know why the commercials get under my skin. I think it's his voice. It's the pearl I'm making in my craw.

"I'm Tom Shane of the Shane Company. It's a well-known fact that women's panties drop at the very sight of our Solitaire Earrings and Pendants. So why not make her labia twitch to the sound of your name with our directly imported diamonds, rubies, and sapphires? This Christmas when she sees you holding one of our Tahitian Pearl necklaces she'll demand that you take her right then and there under the sight of god, grandma, and the rest of the family..."

We have him in Georgia too and me and my daughter have a running joke about how he says "Sparkle." Any time we use that word now we say it really slow and over pronounced like " Sparrrgle."
