OoooOOOoooOoooh Ozempic! "Ozempic can help you lose up to 12 pounds!" [cut] "Since I started Ozempic I've lost 12 pounds!" "...oh!  "  The diaper commercial with the rap about going from bottles to sippy cups. All of the Charmin bear commercials, but ESPECIALLY the one with the bear cub singing to his parents about having a clean asscrack. Ugh. Like those terrible "lol adulting is hard waahh" memes.  Smiling Mandrill posted:But there is a special place in hell for state farm just for playing that "Rise Up" song over, and over, and over. I swear there is not a commercial break that goes by that I don't hear that loving ear worm. Oh that was State Farm? Guess I won't be giving them money any time soon. ghost emoji posted:I've been listening to Spotify at work today. Spotify has played the same Ralph's "thanks to our employees for helping out during These Uncertain Times" during every ad break. It feels like it lasts about fifteen minutes, without saying a single thing. In my experience, Spotify has this Jack Daniels ad that's also really annoying, but of course I can't find it now.

Progressive's new "lol our salespeople are in a Zoom meeting" commercials are so loving annoying. Being reminded that we have to have Zoom meetings instead of talking to people face-to-face is vaguely stressful, especially when those commercials have poo poo like video/audio choppiness and people accidentally talking over each other.

Finally, the answer to all of our prayers -- a commercial even more annoying than the Kars 4 Kids commercial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08Q_BRorEEk Also, the Seamless "beep boop bap beep boop uh" commercials are just so grating. edit: pwn posted:this just ran during Fallon and I thought I was having a fever dream, despite not having a fever Between Kars 4 Kids, Starbelly, and this, I'm starting to think that maybe children just shouldn't be allowed to sing on television.

I'm boycotting Seamless until they cancel that commercial with the "beep bop op beep boop" background music. Also, the Citi commercial with the America The Beautiful piano music can go to hell. DamagedGoods posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uZ7PG3YPuM I thought the Ratt infestation one was funny, then I thought the clogging one was kind of meh. The aunt one killed the joke an is dancing on its corpse. It's like commercials that heavily feature Zoom. I don't want to think about the unpleasantness of Zoom, just like I don't want to think about unpleasant nitpicky relatives. edit: packetmantis posted:The new Jake From State Farm commercials are usually funny, but the one with the dollar store Nick Offerman is just obnoxious. The guy's voice is so annoying. pwn posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5PNR9nN32U Good lord. The one where the guy is on the phone with Jake from State Farm in the middle of the night and his wife comes downstairs, takes the phone, and asks what Jake from State Farm is wearing is stupidly heteronormative. That guy could easily have been cheating on her, either with some random dude who was lying to her OR with Jake. It's not like lying over the phone about what you're wearing is against the law, nor is it like you can't have phone sex while fully clothed.

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:That reminds me: I had the TV muted when it came on, but there was a Captain Morgan's commercial where different bottles of liquor were in a Zoom meeting. I found it on iSpot.tv and it's pretty obnoxious: https://www.ispot.tv/ad/n5RS/captain-morgan-video-call-peeled-orange  It was literally just a conversation between ingredients, and they weren't talking about anything except the orange being naked. How is this supposed to make me want Captain Morgan? It seems like an orange commercial, if not some weird avant-garde YouTube video.muscles like this! posted:It is a super weird commercial because the stuff with the couple is old footage from the original version of the episode but when it cuts to "Jake from State Farm" it is new footage. There was an original version of that commercial? Also, I'm pretty sure that Jake from State Farm is just hoeing around the United States to get people to buy his insurance and then telling them that the insurance was going to be discounted anyway when he wants to break things off.

Gaunab posted:This weekend I watched a movie I'd seen before on tv and not a streaming service. The movie was 90 minutes which is usually bumped up to 2 hours when you factor in commercials but the channel I watched it on must have been floundering for content or something because they took a 90 minute movie and stretched it out to THREE HOURS! Once I realized that I timed it out and they played 10 minutes of commercials for every 7 minutes of actual movie. That's probably what tv is like in hell. When I watch baseball games, the stats have ads on them. The rosters have ads on them. The area behind home plate has ads on it. They minimize the display of the game to have little in-game commercials. Then there are the ACTUAL commercial breaks. If I didn't like baseball so much, I would just stop watching -- it's just sooooo much. muscles like this! posted:If you see the version where it cuts back to Jake and he asks another rep if it is normal for them to ask you what you're wearing the guy who answers was the original Jake from State Farm. So Jake from State Farm is not only a ho, he's an identity thief. Nice.

DrBouvenstein posted:Dear Geico: That commercial is dark as hell when you consider that Casper is A DEAD CHILD. One who died from neglect & exposure, who wants to be loved. fartknocker posted:FWIW, I’m 30 and remember them. The Casper movie from the mid-90’s was okay (6-year old me had a huge crush on Christina Ricci in it) and spawned a bunch of typical mid-90’s direct to video sequels, while the original Rocky and Bullwinkle show was still on TBS, Cartoon Network, and such until like 2002. They may not be the most iconic stuff, and the ads are wearing thin pretty quickly, but it’s not like they were super obscure either. I'm 33 and I feel like every millennial crushed on Christina Ricci, Devon Sawa, or both. That movie was a real sexuality determinant.

I'm starting to think that music in commercials should just be banned. There's no reason for me to hear Hey Ya or It's Oh So Quiet in the year of our lord 2020 in any context whatsoever, but especially not in unskippable inescapable commercials. There's this commercial with a French song sung by someone with a super warbly style, and it's utter loving torture.

Mister Kingdom posted:I'm really tired of ads that use snippets of pop songs. The commercial with the kids singing Joy to the World has been added to my mute list. The only other commercials on the list are the Allstate one with the Edith Piaf song and a couple of commercials that have "Dynamite" by BTS. There's a commercial with an ugly stupid twee cover of Praise You that is borderline, and I suspect it'll go on the list soon too. explosivo posted:this progressive commercial where they're all singing Danny Boy.. Oh dear god why  Weren't Progressive commercials good once upon a time? Their marketing department either got complacent or got too coked up.edit: Timby posted:"You need a loan?

This Colonial Penn where the wife mentions a guy, and her husband says "The 76-year old guy who still runs marathons?", and she says "not anymore" -- I have some concerns: 1) No one talks like that. I don't talk about people I know by specific age. 2) "Not anymore!"  I thought this part was both funny and morbid, and it made me expect this commercial to be about his bum knee or something.

If you told me 13 years ago that a hit song by T-Pain would be a commercial jingle for a local grocery store chain I wouldn't have believed it. Same, but with that LG washer/dryer commercial with "Got Your Money" by ODB/Kelis.

That70sHeidi posted:I think its great to finally see. But they still don't have the consistency right, so it really still doesn't help. Blood isn't urine so it's not going to absorb immediately into the pads; and where are the clots and lumps? I was shocked and delighted that they mentioned "the gush" though. Steps forward!! I've never seen a gush mention, but that's awesome. If bears can sing about their asscracks, gushes can be mentioned. Also, I assume that the nice thin liquid absorbing seamlessly into the pad is just an upsell, like how Subway subs in commercials alway have heaping portions of perfectly layered cold cuts even though we all know that's bullshit.

Anno domini wasn't used until the sixth century; Romans just used the names of whatever consuls were in power at the time. This pisses me off because I am an insufferable nerd. What pisses me off because I'm an insufferable nerd is that the screaming Roman spoke and understood modern English fluently. Also, bothering people who are in the middle of dying horribly is just rude.
