Commercials you love or hate?

[SDFgirl]

I HATE the commercial where the girl is talking directly to the camera, and she's taking asprin all the time, she thought she was fine, but then she heard you can damage the walls of your stomach without even knowing by taking too much aspirin.

Then she says, so earnestly - "I'm not okay with that..." and then she looks down, and looks back up into the camera again and the look on her face makes me want to SCREAM!! I don't know why but I can't stand that girl!

My favorite commercial is for Verizon when all parents are getting their kids' cell phone bills and the call them by their full names..."Buffy Delorian Ridgedale" for the rich kid and "Seaspray Honeysuckle Smith" for the hippie kid! Always cracks me up.

Is there a commercial you hate? Or one you love?

 

[Cruisin]

I've not seen the commercial but I've heard it from the next room and whatever they are selling I definitely would NOT buy.

All the beginning of the commercial is people screaming, very very annoying to listen to. I don't care what they are selling

 

[Sparx]

I HATE The burger King commercials.
But I love that dairy queen one for the moolatte, where she runs into the window, I laugh every time I see that one.
I also hate the the one for asprin.

 

[pfishgirl]

I really really HATE the Geico commercials...

Oh and the one for toilet paper with the cartoon bears taking a dump in the woods.. ughhhhhhhh how gross can you get ??


I like the "can you hear me now?" commercials??

 

[anewvance]

OMG dh and I hate the newest one for the credit card or bank, not sure, that says hate waiting for rewards.... and the lady is making her husband a fruit smoothy using the garbage disposal and then serves it to her husband in a glass... EWWW

I love the GE commercial with the dancing elephants... hee hee

 

[ADisneygirl]

I am a channel flipper -- I flip through most commercials like a man does! lol

But....... I have to say that out of several annoying possibilities for the most annoying commercial, I would pick the Steak and Shake "new up mixed shake milks". Everytime I begin to hear this commercial my brain starts to hurt and I must cover my ears or run to the tv and rip the controller out of some loved one's hands and flip. It's all that mixed up backward talking --- my brain can't process it!

 

[disney4us2002]

Hate, hate hate the Geico commercials. If they were giving away free insurance for a year, I wouldn't take it!!

I really like the commercial where the guy is printing face pictures and sometimes they are pictures and sometimes it is a frame that he puts over his head. It might be Hewlett Packard but it is a hard to describe commercial. Catchy music too.

 

[megan4777]

I love the commercial where the guy is the "cat wrangler." It was on during the Superbowl a few years ago. It is soooooooo funny!!!I don't find many commercials amusing since I have kids!!! Who knew that I wouldn't find so many of them amusing anymore...
Oh, I used to love the Bud bowl competitions during the Superbowl, too.

While I was in FL last month I saw this commercial for Ford cars. The theme song was "Ride it like a Ford" and all these Hoochie girls were dancing around while guys eyed them. Awful.

We have a local commercial here in MA that bugs me too. It's for a locally owned coffee shop. Their commercials always feature waitresses dressed in pink Hooters-type outfits, dancing and prancing around squirting whipped cream on things, etc. I'm never sure if they are advertizing coffee, themselves, a strip joint .. ? I call them the MaryLou's Ho's.



I LOVE Wendy's "Ranch Tooth". Stupid, I know but it makes me laugh.

I HATE that nail fungus medication commericial with the little cartoon guys that get under the nail. Really turns my stomach!

I like the commercial about teaching kids, it has a dad pulling his son in a wagon but for the first 3/4 of the commercial you don't know the kid is there and it seems like the dad is walking along talking to himself.

 

[WatchinCaptKangaroo]

My favorite commercial is for Verizon when all parents are getting their kids' cell phone bills and the call them by their full names..."Buffy Delorian Ridgedale" for the rich kid and "Seaspray Honeysuckle Smith" for the hippie kid! Always cracks me up.

That's a great commercial! And I think it also sends a message that kids are kids and get in trouble across all backgrounds.

I can't stand any commercial that has bugs in it. And I hated those Hundai commercials that had parents sucking face in the back seat. The commercial would have been great without the sounds.

 

[Lachesis00]

Pepto commercials. HATE them!!!

I hate the dove 7 day test... GAG. Glad they shaved their pits!
It wigs me out tho!

Do not care for the "personal lubricant" or "tampax or kotex commercials.

I do crack up at the Milk of Magnesia (sp) commercials... cracks me the old old guy and lady

Oh and I love the David Spade/Capital One commercials. That "guy in the yellow shirt" cracks me up.... he is in other commercials... I forget what... maybe a pringle commercial?


I like this one too It's cool

I really like the commercial where the guy is printing face pictures and sometimes they are pictures and sometimes it is a frame that he puts over his head. It might be Hewlett Packard but it is a hard to describe commercial. Catchy music too.

heheheheeee cracks me up!

Im sure I will think of others....

I can't stand any commercial where they treat the fathers like idiots. My latest peeve is the one for the parental control on the cable box. A very young girl is explaining to her father that he can't watch certain things on tv because they've been blocked. If he doesn't have the passcode, he has to ask mommy if he can watch it. So he asks mommy, and she says "No". Every time I see that commercial I tell DH that if I were that guy, I'd put her in her place, but quick. (I actually say something much less PC, but I can't say that here) If the commercial were reversed and the mother had to ask for the father's permission, it would never be on the air.

I HATE that nail fungus medication commericial with the little cartoon guys that get under the nail. Really turns my stomach!

That's the one I was going to say too. Completely gross! Especially when he opens up the toe nail like it was the hood of a car. What is wrong with these ad people!


I'm a sucker for commercials with puppies. I always sit there with a big stupid grin on my face and giggle.


They don't play it anymore, but my fav. Disney commercial was the one with the 2 brothers and the oldest is giving the youngest advice on what to do at WDW. I always laughed when he said, "Watch out for Goofy...He's HUGE!...He's even bigger than dad!"

Since I've been home on maternity leave, I've been watching quite a bit of TV- here goes:

Hate:
The one for kiddie ensure where the mom and little girl are in the grocery store and every time the mom puts something in the cart, the little girl goes "I don't LIKE broccoli/chicken" really snotty-like. I love little kids but if this were my daughter, she would be eating what we ate and would like it! She is not getting an ensure drink for dinner!

That Tylenol commercial that the OP is talking about. Like, what does she want me to do? Staring at all of us like we are all about to jump into the tv and let her know we are not ok with it either!

A few years ago, Terminix had a commercial where it looked like roaches were crawling all over the screen- yuck!

Love:
Love love love the Geico commercial with the cavemen in the restaurant- that guy in the last scene where he "lost his appetite" and the look he gives just cracks me up.

The Beano commercial where the guy is in the hot tub with the 2 pretty girls and has gas. I know it is not the classiest to be laughing over people tooting but it cracks me up.

Hubby loves the HP ones with the pictures.

I know there are more for both categories but my post would be 15 pages!

 

[lovetheparks]

Hate the Geico commercials as well!!

Love the Capital One commercial w/David Spade where he tells the guy who's there to kick his butt he's wearing a yellow shirt and the poor dorky guy gets charged & screams like a girl.

Also love the one for (some car thing) where the guy bring in his trophy from 8th grade debate champ

 

[AllyandJack]

My favorite commercial is the Raisin Bran Crunch commercial where the guy finds out that "Johnson" has an intern. He says, "I'm sending you a death ray...." They think he's giving them the "peace" sign, so they give it back and he says, "No...it's a death ray....forget it..." and storms off in frustration. I love that entire series of commercials.

I hate the Chase commercials. They have this "Life's Perfect, Get Some Credit Cards" aspect about them that ticks me off.

I hate the Always commercials where the woman is in the supermarket and some nutjob comes up to her and tells her to feel the pad. Ick.

I also hate the Mary Lou's coffee commercials. I particularly can't stand the winter one where they're in their skimpy outfits playing in the fake snow together. Puh-leaze! Mary Lou's....The Best Coffee In Town....if that was the case, they wouldn't need the girls showing off their ta-tas. You don't see Dunkin Donuts using scantily clad women to promote their coffee.

 

[EltonJohn]

I don't like the burger King commercials which feature the mascot king. Sorry, but he just looks too weird

I love UPS commercials, "What can Brown do for you?", and other commercials like that. Perhaps its because of all of these sports games that I watch on TV LOL

Forgot to put this one down. Frost Bank has a commercial just of Willie Nelson playing his guitar It's great if you like Nelson, but if you don't like him . . .

 

[tinksgirl]

There is a new one here in MA for foxwoods casino,showing 2 men dressed as pears outside a store,up pulls a car with 3 guys in matching shirts they start beating the pears - 3 of a kind beats 2 pair(pear) its funny

 

[Rhonda922]

I love all the Capital One commercials and I really like the Verizon one when the parents are calling the kids' names.
