commericals we're sick of?

[Carl]

I agree that the "I just got some good news" Geico commercial is irritating, and so are the Dell ones.

Speaking of ones not understandable, the sports figure which speaks so fast and with "pet" phrases is completely unintelligible to me.

The Arby's commercial with the oven mitt that doesn't have any ears or a nose. I'm so sick over that stupid oven mitt. It makes me really miss the Arby's commercials with Barry White.

The Orbitz commericals with the stupid looking clay figures.
They are soooooo dumb.

That commercial for the pet medicine......"I got my pets medication and didn't have to go to the vet's office" Aargh! That commercial drives me insane! I hate it!

"Jellin' like a Fellon "what does THAT mean? I hate that one.

The Toyota with the Beach Boys they play it over and over and over and even at the same time on diff channels\


Tampax Pearl I hate that one. It always makes me think of the Mel Gibson character in What Women Want. That type of guy wrote it. The one I really hate is where the girl used the other brand to make a rope and pull up the Tampax when it fell out the open window. First of all, who in thier right mind opens a window without a screen??? Then leaves it open. That in itself says it was written by an idiot.

Bella-I keep wondering the same thing. Why does put the tampon W-A-Y over on the windowsill???????

 

[jan/cape]

I hate the Old Navy commercials!!!!!

 

[married2grumpy]

The Herbal Essence shampoo and body wash commercials. They drive me insane. OH YES, YES, YES...Oh sorry, I was just having an Organic experience.

I also agree with that toe fungus commercial. I almost threw up the first tim I saw that little fungus guy crawl under the toe nail. That's just real nasty!

I so agree, that commercial is SOOOO bad in so many levels!

I cannot STAND the commercial for appliances, OMG it's so bad I don't remember who's advertisement it is, where the salesman is showing a couple a refrigerator and they say "The chefs will love this". The salesmen then has a daydream of a bunch of unruly children, the chefs??? ... then tells the people they sell washers and dryers, too?

I don't GET that commercial AT ALL!!

It is a new one but I hate seeing it " The one with Madonna" I think it for GAP of all things ( like she has ever even been in one ) I turn it as soon as I hear the music.

 

[Mad4Mickey]

Ok I also cant stand the Palmerio one . EWWWW I know them and I still have never mentioned it to his wife. IT is just icky and I cant help but wonder why Lynn let him do those

A-1 Steaksauce. The dog is lapping up food in his bowl then the owner tries it and says, "it's THAT good" and his face is all covered with steak sauce. Not only is it gross, but the noise of the lapping is soooooo disgusting.

I also hate ALL the Hardee's commercials. (Are they a nationwide chain). They must have the absolutely worst advertising department. Right now they are talking about how small their burgers are in an effort to sell
their "six dollar burger". Not long ago they called pigs at the beginning of a commercial that was promoting their new pork chop biscuit. You get the picture - BAD!!

I really dislike any local commercial where the owner feels compelled to do them his/herself. Do these people really think they can act, are decent looking and make you WANT to buy from them??? Especially the local car ones where the owner puts on a chicken suit, cowboy hat, devil costume...whatever! Local attorney adds here are awful!

I'm glad we have a remote. I flip through commericials as often as possible. I find most incredibly banal and sexist. Ever noticed how the women are subservial (usually) in some way to men. Or if they show a meeting, the only woman in the group is the one serving the coffee or taking the minutes. If they show someone in a power position (boss, etc.), ...a man, of course. Get with the millenium!!

Nair commercials drive me crazy...who wears shorts - shorts???

Toe-fungus guy creeps me out, too. Orbitz puppets are stupid, but the cartoon ones are worse!

Almost any pharmaceutical add irritates me! The side effect lines are enough to make you run and scream the other way before you'd take any of these things. I know I wouldn't take a drug that a pregnant woman can't even TOUCH! Really glad I'm not a guy losing my hair! Do I really need to hear about people's bladder infections, constipation, etc.? Buy generic...these companies make enough money!

You know you're getting older when the music from your teenhood is used to sell Cadillacs and Lincolns. Used to be that artists had some dignity about who they sold their music to....I know that many lost the rights to their music, but still I hate hearing a good rock classic used to pitch more blatant consumerism.

Gotta love premium cable...no adds!
