Doctor Butts posted:I have been watching a lot of hockey and this is one of the Skyline Chili commercials that are in constant rotation on my local channel. Not only is that commercial bad, Skyline Chili is the absolute worst chili I've ever had in my life. Maybe it's a regional thing but sweet chili is an affront to God.

PaganGoatPants posted:The HR Block ones with that one dude with the stupid voice annoy me. "Get your billions back Americuhhhh!" I love it when commercials use songs that are totally against what they're trying to sell or provide. Hell, the song's title is a shortening of "For the love of money is the root of all Evil." I enjoyed AT&T's commercial with the two engineer dudes strutting into their headquarters with Turn Down for What playing, along with the lyrics being audible. I haven't seen in it a while but I enjoyed the notion that some corporate schmucks didn't understand that the "fire up the loud/another round of shots" was about smoking jazz cigarettes and imbibing the devil's juice.

Riptor posted:Fairly common in New England actually, especially Maine. But your point stands I tried a Grape Nehi (which I had heard about from MASH) and a Moxie on the same day. The Nehi was unbearably sweet and the Moxie tasted like spiced mop water. I learned my lesson to never drink olden time pop* from there on out. * Except for Dublin Dr. Pepper and Cel-Ray. Those are great.

This is America, motherfucker, we crossed oceans and fought wars and all kinds of brave poo poo and putting yourself into debt is nothing next to those. What are you, some kind of pussy? Give us your money, bitch. I came here to post this exact ad. gently caress this ad and gently caress the assholes trying to bilk more people with the broken ideology that is the American Dream. Also, "we crossed oceans" has a pretty different meaning to a black person, Quicken. Just saying.

Like if someone pokes me with ten or one fingers it feels the same, or draws a letter on my back I have no idea what they are drawing. gently caress botox. My brother's fiancee has terrible migraines and she had this suggested to her by her primary physician. I was leery of it before but goddamn does that sound terrible.

Kawalimus posted:This one I keep seeing now is a car commercial some stupid family singing "Buddy Holly" by the band Weezer. I've seen three iterations of this sort of commercial and every one of them is completely cringeworthy. The other two were families singing "Sweet child of mine" and "Crazy Train". What annoys me is that no person under 20 is probably going to know who Weezer is nowadays. And then the Grandpa chimes in and no person over 60 is probably going to know who Weezer is. That commercial made me realize that Weezer is loving Dad Music now and it made me feel old even though the Blue Album came out when I was like nine. Sneeing Emu posted:The newest TV spots for Ex Machina explicitly show scenes from the end of the movie and it's goddamn infuriating. They also promote the movie as "SEXY ROBOTS" when it's so much more than that stupid tag line. Ex Machina is a good movie with terrible marketing. I was going to skip it until a friend told me that it was one of the better sci-fi movies he's seen in a while. The marketing made it seem like something completely different than what it is.

I hate the GMC commercials that pop up twice or more during every commercial break. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VizF-6UdWUE But I find it hilarious that they use an instrumental version of The Who's Eminence Front which is about people using expensive poo poo to try and hide their pain. It's perfect.

MrSlam posted:The Bene Gensserit from Dune do a similar thing called the Missionaria Protectiva  computer parts posted:Sonic is kind of your midtier "oh i'm hungry and i'm in the car" sort of restaurant. A lot of people like their Slushes though (and it is good in the heat). I grew up where Sonic was a local franchise and I agree. Their food is kinda greasy and not all that good, but they have really good shakes and slushes (Ocean Water is the best). The one Whataburger I ever went to (in Dallas) was kinda meh though. I was disappointed by it after so much build-up from my cousins.

raditts posted:I was gonna say, is this a legit opinion based on actually seeing it or is this the usual "thing is popular, goon must hate" thing, because I've literally heard nothing bad about it. I honestly believe it's the whole "it's wildly popular so it's bad" mentality. It blew up outta nowhere and now it's popular to be the contrarian that thinks it's not good. If it's not your cup of tea, that's cool and I can understand that. Saying it's terrible is just outright hyperbole.

Dental costs are pretty hosed up I have a medical condition that's causing me a whole bunch of dental pain and stress on top of the rest of my other issues and I'm basically turbo-hosed for 12 months until my insurance kicks in and that still doesn't cover my co-pay which is going to be outrageous. Healthcare in America is a loving joke.

"Hustle", indeed. Michael Scott posted:Let's try to post the ads we poo poo talk, so we can all properly hate ourselves and the society we have become. As a person that's done some teaching, showing a teacher having to work a second job to provide for his family is really loving sad and a little too real for me. In any other country that would be a loving condemnation and not something made light of and exploited by lovely hypercapitalists.
