RicardoLuigi... Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 well, i watch t.v. frequently, as i'm sure most people do... ...and there are always so many commercials i can't stand, which isn't too hard to understand seeing that i'm not spending my time watching t.v. to see hours worth of commercials every damn day, i want to see my frickin show! so, just post here the commercials you find to be extremely irritating beyond belief. here are mine: that dumb hershey's commercial where the girl is eating a s'more and she's talking about how her boyfriend and her always see who can make a better s'more and then she says "i totally win" and takes a bite. that part is so F***IN DAMN IRRITATING i can't even stand it. and you hear the hershey bar snap when she takes a bite. aaaaaaaaaaaarrghhh! and then she says "it's like a hershey bar sandwich". it's so stupid. it makes me want to not buy a hershey bar. the cingular commercial with the girl that says she wanted to switch to rollover, but she wanted to keep her number b/c "it's famous". and then the stupid, moronic "867-5309" song starts. and the most irritating part of this one is when it says the five and she lip sync's the five. and i've got one more...the stupid commercial with "attorney lorraine greenberg" on it. her voice is so irritating. she has this weird lisp-ish thing when she says her "s"...*twitches* ugggh. i especially hate the part where she says "we can help you start over with a clean slate and get on with you life". when she says "slate"...i want to break my t.v. anyway...feel free to share.

Also the cingular commercial with the triplets all going to different schools. How gay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien426 Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I switch channels when commercials are on. I despise commercials where people are happy because they use a product and/or devote much energy into getting a product. Always the same, always lame... Also, the extremes of showing either beautiful, shiny happy people or freaks sucks. I think the best commercials don't have any slogans or anything to read...

edlib Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 All commercials are irritating. I try to avoid them at all costs. They are nothing but little 30 or 60 second brainwashing sessions, designed to invoke lust for something the rational part of your mind would tell you that you don't really want or need.

Sivy Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Originally posted by edlib All commercials are irritating. aye, now and again you might see a funny one, but then after seeing a couple of times its no longer amusing at all. I think the worse commercial ever was the 'wasssuppp!' Budweiser one. it was annoying and also there was no escaping it. it was constantly on TV and people were doing it wherever you went. i was glad when that little fad passed.

Dr Edison 007 Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I liked that new Haagen-Das commercial, the music in it made me feel nice and sleepy and the content made me hungry for strawberry icecream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JofaGuht Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 The Enzyte commercials. Absolutely awful. It's so disturbing and headache-inducing it's actually eating bits out of my spine. And they always come in two in a row. And when they put the two in a row, they show them out of order! How, in god's name, does Mike give enzyte to Tom if Mike doesn't even find out about enzyte until the NEXT COMMERCIAL??? I'll tell you why, because the Enzyte commercials are satanic, that's why. P.S. This is going to be a tough thread considering there really isn't a majority for any single one nationality on this forum. I think each post will only have two or so people who even recognize the commercial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Bob guy must be a real prick if he told everybody in town about how he took medicine to enlarge his genitalia. Anyway, isn't that cheating? I don't see why he'd get any respect for taking Enzyte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JofaGuht Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Oh yah, it's Bob. Not Mike. A prick either way though. It's all about fear and consumption. You've got the news telling you you're gonna die any minute, and then commercials telling you that you need a large penis to survive at all in the world.

RicardoLuigi... Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 The Enzyte commercials. i was just about to say that when i read your post. and the dumb viagra commercials where the song "we are the champions" is on. what the hell is that?! oh yeah, and those "identity theft solution" commercials from bank one, where it's got all those people that are talking, but they've got someone else's voice dubbed in, like "helen d." and she's a dentist. and the stupidest part is that the dubbed-in voice is always from a person of the opposite gender. it's like, did it ever occur to you that a girl could steal another girl's credit card?!

Joshi Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I hate them all. "The George Foreman lean mean fat reducing machine! I'm so proud of it, I put my name on it!" Dude, you're hardly worth that name, there was once a time when you were a pretty good boxer, now, instead of laying down the wayside, you're endorsing freaking grills! In all fairness, though, for some reason, i love movie trailers, 9 times out of 10, they're better than the movie. I always like to show up to a movie just intime for the trailers (but after the extended ads that come before it, then again, I usually just go to previews of films that only have trailers). One of few filems that was actually better than it's trailer, was, in my mind, the Return of the King. The part in the trailer when Aragorn says "Not for ourselves, but we can at least give frodo a chance" was brilliant, and made me want to see the movie even more, but the movie was just full of moments, like that, I loved it. Current good trailers, was Shrek 2 (but the movies, better, so it's not in the running anymore) Spiderman 2, I-Robot, and The Incredibles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JofaGuht Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I like trailers, but I don't like the little thirty-second TV spots. Well, I like the teasers especially because trailers seem to reveal too much. Some trailers are just two and a half minute versions of the film.

RicardoLuigi... Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 i just saw this one: it's for the stupid dodge durango, and the dumb fatass dad is driving and his wife (a.k.a. "liz") is showing the accessories to the little baby, and the bitch (a.k.a. the husband) says "liz! what are ya DOIN to him?" and she says "i was just showing little joey the new durango." and then it shows the dad holding his biche (a.k.a. the baby) and he opens the hood up and says "look. that's a hemi." I HATE STUPID MOTHER F***IN HEMI'S. all these commercials with a f***in hemi. what the f*** is so fascinating? it's a f***in engine! and then he says "can you say, 'hemi'?" and the little boy says in the most annoying little nasally idiotic voice "heemmiiii" and he says "that's muh boy!" talk about a whole s***load of asswipes.

Thrik Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I don't know if this is so in the US, but here during the daytime we have constant adverts for insurance, banking, and stuff like that - and they do my bloody head in. It's just.. they're so badly made. I cannot comprehend how the designers of these adverts could possibly think that they are good. It's obvious that they've tried to make good adverts, but they fail so miserably that I'm embarassed for them. A typical example: Advert is desaturated to greyscale, sad orchestrial music playing, people or narrator whining about how their life sucks and their insurance company suck. Then, suddenly something will be given to them or happen to them by the insurance company that the advert is about, and the colours will all suddenly reappear - along with an extremely cheesey and happy jingle. There's even worse ones too - I'm sure that some UK forum-goers here can attest to the almost insultingly bad quality of that Norton Finance advert with the guy walking across the tight-rope holding a box. Just to highlight the insane cheapness of that advert, take a look at the blue cloudy computer effect behind him. No! As you will see, it isn't a computer effect at all! It's a craply painted wall, since they're evidently too out of touch to simply use a computer to achieve an almost identicle effect. The painting is so crap that you can quite seriously see the cracks and bumps in the wall if you look closely. Look even closer, and you'll notice in certain shots there's a darkened horizontal or vertical line in the background - indicating where the corner of the walls are, and where the floor begins is. I'm not even going to bother going into just how ridiculous the guy on the tight-rope looks. Honestly, these insurance adverts are a real problem for me. They are just so bad that they force me to leave the room for a few minutes until they've passed. Even my grandmother agrees that these adverts are horrifically bad. </rant> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Oh yes, and let's not forget that these Norton Finance adverts (and the similarly pathetic ones) tend to run for months and months on end - indicating that the creators obviously think it's good. Jesus, I'd just love to go around to the head offices of all the companies that these adverts represent and give them a good slapping. They really are insulting the nation with these tremendously bad quality adverts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even going to bother going into just how ridiculous the guy on the tight-rope looks. I generally don't look to closely at those adverts, but I know the one your talking about so I'll have a look next time it's on. The one I really hate is the ICS advert, who seem to think that just because "S" sounds the same as "Yes", when someone asks a question about home learning (it's what the company provides) some annoying little woman, can happily say "ICYes you can!". WTF?! That's like, the most annoying thing in the world! the one with the woman talking through the TV at the couple is just plain crap! Think about it, you've just got home from a really lousy day at work and sit on the sofa next to your partner. First of all, you don't start asking if they think you could get into another type of career, you ask when the f*cking dinners gonna be ready and go for a shower! And then some weird chick starts talking to you through the TV. I don't know about you, but I'm, like, "this is freaky!" and switch the set off! Of course, we al know they stole that "ICYes you can!" thing from "Yes! car Credit" and there equally annoying advert (some bitch in a green life preserver comes along and turns crappy cars into nice one with cheap computer effects and a nice tinkling sound) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien426 Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Ringtone commercials: Pay 4 bucks so that your phone plays a crappy midi. Reality commercials: A camera team does a poll and just happens to find the person who can't live without a certain candy and has a philosophy about it, too. The camera is always shaky and the superbly dressed interviewee charmingly smiles into the camera. Baby commercials: Cuuuute babies or small children. Worst are the Citroen Berlingo babies who are dressed up cowboy style and are dubbed to a crappy song. Celeb commercials: Nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 That freakin Flash advert! (Brits will know). The kid has a remote control car and is making mud marks on the nice clean floor. He won'ty let the dad or unckle or whatever have a go on the car, so he gets out The Power Mop and startszooming round the kitchen after the car taking all the mud with it. At which point the little kid goes "Can I have a go?" and he says no. What freakin kid wan't to use a freakin mop when he already has a freakin remote control car (I think at some point the car crashes and turns on it's back, and the kids too stupid to pick it up again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicardoLuigi... Posted July 16, 2004 Author Share Posted July 16, 2004 i have two more: the gayass six flags commercial where the old faggot gets off the bus and starts dancing like some fag bitch. and he's all happy and dancing around, looking like he's having a seizure. it's so f***in god damn annoying. or the boost mobile phone commercials where they have old people talking like teenagers. what is with all these commercials and thinking that old people are funny? before it was babies...then animals...now old people. so stupid. nobody likes those commercials. my mom saw the six flags commercial once and she said "that makes it look like all the rejects go to six flags". ouch.
