Bad Commercials

[Runwildboys]

Anyone seen the new Coors Light commercial, in which they say, the best things in life are the unofficial things, like "unofficial air conditioning" (while showing a guy sticking his face in the beer fridge) among other "unofficial" things?

Then they end the commercial by calling Coors Light "The Official Beer of Summer".

Is it just me, or should someone be fired over that?


Whaddya got for bad commercials?

Yeah. It's pretty bad. And sad. And somewhat inappropriate with worldwide heatwaves going on.

I just don't understand how nobody caught the fact that they say "unofficial" things are the best, then refer to the thing they're advertising as an "official" thing.

Personally, I get bent out-of-shape with ads from liability attorneys ("Did you use xxx and subsequently develop skin rash, diarrhea, etc. then you may be entitled to financial compensation") and from pharmaceutical companies (it seems they develop a medication and then invent a disease for it to cure)

And they always tell you not to take the medication if you're allergic to it.

All of the recent Taco Bell commercials.


But the worst are...
All of the pop-up adds on the internet.
All of the emails you have to block.

I've never thought about it until I read your post. But yeah, how are you going to know if your allergic to a medicine unless you take.

And why would you need to be told not to take it if you do know? Lol

The question is, does taco bell food or commercials rot your body faster

MeTV playing the same commercials
Over and over.

JJ Walker, Joe Namath and now William Shatner doing the same scripted commercial to get people to call and get their zip codes checked to see if they can get more medicaid/Medicare benifits. JJ Walker saying the word Money is enough to make me cringe.

Why do they need to tell people to cook the food inside a frozen dinner? Not all food is meant to be crunchy.

One old lady spills coffee in her lap and they have to put up disclaimers. Caution - this is a hot beverage, do not pour it in your lap. Especially if you are coming through our drive through naked.

My mother, who is currently living in an assisted living facility, listened to Joe Namath, called the number and, inadvertently canceled her insurance for something far inferior.

It took six months and attorney threatening a civil suit to get her old insurance plan reinstated. What a scam.

They really need to tell their demographic that "Fiends" is "Friends" without the "r"? How stupid do they think people are? It reminds me of when I was a kid, and there was a robot named Tobor advertised on TV. At the end of the commercial a narrator comes on, with a disclaimer voice and says, "Tobor is robot spelled backwards".

Thanks, pal!

The worst commercials I’ve seen in years are these Dr Pepper commercials with this bizarre character called Lil Sweet.

Yeah, those are really senseless. For one thing, everyone knows women don't like short guys!

I am glad that they warn us. Without that warning, there would be an epidemic caused by people taking medications that they were allergic to. SMDH

Joe involved in a scam? I thought he had straightened up after repeatedly telling that reporter that he wanted to kiss her. On a side note, Joe is much more entertaining when he is under the influence of alcohol.

Here's a recent one. It's like a Conan O'Brien sketch. Even ends with a narrator with a "German" accent.

Since I don't have live tv currently, only have it when NFL/NHL is on, I miss a lot of commercials luckily.

Definitely seems they have gotten stupider as time has gone by. Not quite at Idiocracy levels but pointing that way.

The superbowl ads recently just seem to go for that stupid/shock factor for people to simply talk about the ads.
