Stupid Commercials

UGH, I hate that commercial along with the Quiznos and new KFC commercials. There's a few more that are reallly dumb but those are the worst.

Matt and I were talking about that Pepto commercial last night and how stupid it is. Especially that man on the right who is fanning his rear end at the end of the commercial.. ummm.. ew?

And the drug commercials - the reason they don't tell you what the drug is for is because if they do, they have to list all the possible side effects and I'm assuming some of them are so long or so scary, nobody wants to hear them!

I hate that dollop sour cream commercial, any Coors beer "half dressed women" commercials, and the Viagra commercial aka We are The Champions! The Old Navy ones are awful too!

We have one in this area for a local flooring/carpet store that is horrible! The owner spends the whole commerical telling 2 guys to NOT put him in the commercial. He then proceeds to hide behind carpet samples and hanging tile samples saying "don't put me in the commercial--leave me out of itl", while 2 guys with some sound equipment follow him around. I want to tear my hair out everytime that one comes on.

I also hate the ones of Mike Ditka at the local casino to the tune of "Everybody Wang Chung Tonight". Everytime I see that the song gets stuck in my head.

I also dislike the one where the older couple are sitting in matching old fashioned bathtubs on the top of the hill. I think it's for Viagra or Cialis. Can't remember which one.

I just saw that commerical for the first time last night! OMG!!! That has to be one of the worse!

I also can not stand the Viargra commercial where the guys are coming out of their houses to "We are the Champions" STUPID!!!!!!

Old Navy commericals are very lame too!!!!

Also hate the canoe commercial for tampons. Would anybody really try that?!?

I love the Pepto and the Dairy queen but hate the Old Navy commercials. How old is Morgan Freeman anyway?

The one that I hate is the one for a Toyota SUV. (maybe Forerunner?) A woman is driving it through the city, over bumps and potholes while applying ALL of her makeup using the rearview mirror. She arrives in the parking lot at work, where another woman is getting out of her Non-Toyota SUV, she turns and has makeup smeared all over her face. I find the fact that they are marketing to ALL THOSE WOMEN who put their makeup on in the car a little offensive.

As for Quiznos, I think those things are creapily funny....I have a t-shirt with them on it "Eat Quizno's Subs...cuz the are good to us!"

Where can I get a spongemonkey shirt? Do they have different varieties? I'd be happy with the quote on your shirt but DW would prefer one that says "They've got a Peppa Bah!"

And add Fanta to the list of bad commercials. I hope that everyone that went to see Shrek 2 was subjected to the same WAY too long Fanta commercial that I was.

OMG...saw the Fanta thing as a trailer to Van Helsing. It was SO awful. Then the movie started, and my friend and I started thinking the Fanta thing was the best view of the night.

LOL Lanshark! I think you mean Morgan FAIRCHILD not Morgan Freeman! He was the guy in Shawshank Redemption.

I have no idea how old Morgan Fairchild is but I'm guessing over 50. She does look remarkable "well preserved" though doesn't she?

Chalk up another one who hates the Pepto-Bismol commercial!

I also hate the one talking about kids and asthma, but they keep showing this goldfish swimming around in fishbowl with less and less water and gasping for breath. I'm not a die-hard animal rights activist, but that one just looks cruel.

I thought of a couple of more commercials that I can't stand. The one for Lamisil with the fungus that crawls under toenails and any Old Navy or Gap commercial.

I agree with the posters who hate the vague, non-specific drug commercials. However, there is one that I like- the one for anti- inflammatory medication that is a parody of the "soft focus- field of flowers- yoga- New Age-y" type of commercial with FRANKENSTEIN!!! voiceovering about how cranky and stiff he used to be. That one makes me giggle every time.

There is one commercial for a Toyota dealership that grates on the nerves- I used to think it was local, but i've seen the same guy hawking for dealerships all over the Southeast. His name is Tom Parks (I think) and he has this dumb, Spuds MacKenzie-looking dog, and a female sidekick named Angie. They are the WORST!!

i hate all old navy commercials...they grate on my very last nerve...i have to change the channel until the commercial's done! i can't stand watching morgan fairchild dance...

i also hate those 1 minute infomercials too...what person in their right mind would hold a sewing machine up to the curtains as they are hanging from the curtain rod and try to sew a seam??? and who really looks quite like that after baking a batch of cookies? and if there's anyone out there who irons like that, please...do everyone a favor...and take the iron away from them!!!

the pepto one isn't my favorite, but i can tolerate that one more that i can handle an old navy commercial!

locally...i REFUSE to ever buy a car from any bob rohrman dealership. his commercials are stupid and they are so poorly acted out...i just refuse to buy a car from him!!

oh...and the gal who's wearing all white...puts her tampon on the windowsill...ummmmm yeah...like that would happen...

I despise the Quizno's rats!! Haven't seen it in a while but I also HATED the KFC one with the wife in the kitchen eating chicken strips but insists they are called kitchen strips. How stupid! Another least favorite, I forget the name of the product but it's for "natural male enhancement". "Bob" is at the home improvement store learning about "wood". Anyone over the age of 12 recognizes it for the not so subtle attempt at double entendre that it is.

My current favorite is the Pepsi commercial where the guy leaves his sandwich and pop on the counter and the dog eats the sandwich and drinks the pop then sticks the cat on the plate just before the guy walks in all to the tune of Secret Agent Man. That's just hysterical!

i swear to you...that would be my cat and dog!!! i love that commercial!!

kitchen strips was awful...

I hate the Fanta commercials. That song just drives me insane. My DBF works for Coke and knows how much I hate those commercials so he is always bringing home the stupid Fanta drinks and singing the song.

I love the Pepsi commercial, but my DBF hates it just because he works for Coke and the commercial is for Pepsi...I tell him to get over it and that he is just jealous because his company sucks at advertising!!!

 

[Bojo]

Agree about that Lamisil (?) commercial. It gived me the willies just thinking about that little fungus guy ripping up my toe nail

And, I too, love that Pepsi commercial. What is it about animals that we all relate to?
