Most Despised TV Commercials

[GMO415]

A recent (fortunate for everyone else) local commercial has some cheesy guy with finger holes cut out in his black gloves so he can slave away over a keyboard like a rock star while ripping off the opening to Ghostbusters and turning it into a plumbing jingle. Before he can get to "who you gonna call?" I've changed stations. I may not be the fastest remote in the west, but I'll do. An auto parts store repeats "Nappa know how" in jingle form for the duration of the commercial.

Now we've got bears with an unnatural affection for toilet paper. When I was little, we had Mr. Wipple springing himself on women that were getting cozy with the Charmin. Momma used to gripe about the cost of groceries. I thought if stores didn't have to pay the toilet paper police, groceries would be cheaper. Yes, I really thought that. It's a wonder I didn't turn into a female Jethro. When you're little and adults can't be bothered with questions, your mind will go to town.

Oh, toilet paper quality is important. Everyone at work informed me I can't just buy the bargain stuff or I'll hear all kinds of toilet paper war stories. Anyone interviewing them about how they felt after using the restroom, they'd say "raw". They started bringing their own. To be fair, it was a lot like sandpaper.

Some of the local adverts are even worse! Coh blimey! They are absolutely atrocious. Particularly those bloody car sales adverts. No I don't want your bloody cars! I'm perfectly happy with the one I've got!

I hate any pharmacudical commercial that tells you how great the drug is then list off 20 side effects it can cause.

Yes, please take this pill for amnesia. The worst that can happen is you'll end up dead from it. No need to worry. Wait, WHAT??? Who the bloody hell thought this through? Honestly! It's a never ending cycle. Take these pills. Oy! Did this pill cause you to lose a loved one? Let's sue those wankers! Oy! Did you lose that lawsuit? Let's so those bloody useless lawyers! It'll only take about another 5000 quid!

They've got this tool auto dealer in Austin that closes out his ads with "I am a veteran and veterans are welcome here". Where are they not welcome? I may call this awesome person and tell him I am a veteran...…..of the Taliban and am interested in a van.

Then there's the ambulance chasers implying that every company that uses their own trucks hires criminal and tries to cover it up when they have an accident.

I actually catch myself waiting for the disclaimers which often include death. I think since they always show people being happy, playing with kids or pets or eying each other like they've just found the Spanish Fly, they should show equal representation and show people with the side effects and a few dead people laying around like a woman in her garden face down, a man face down in the shower and a man just sitting at the breakfast table with some Rice Krispies on his chin and a look of shock, dead as a hammer.

Man,if I 'click-0n' a you-tube video that has a mandatory "must suffer thru 15 second advertisement" as a frontrunner to viewing the video?,,,9 times out of 10, I immediately 'click-0ff' & out from that page

Me too!

I even caved in and bought YouTube Premium to rid of ads on there. Worth it!!!!

Right now the one that sucks the most is the Verizon bubble trance interruption at the park. It’s a scramble drill to get the remote and hit mute...

I can't stand that bloody spokesman. He actually makes the current Sprint chap seem likeable.

Have an obnoxious commercial you'd like to evade? That creepy Verizon bastid getting on your last nerve? What you need is the handy, dandy Remote Holster! Whip that puppy out like Clint Eastwood and show Verizon who's the boss! You don't have to listen to made up "bubble trance" horse manure with the Remote Holster. But wait! If you call within the next 15 minutes, we will hunt him down and slap the crap out of him for you. One slap per customer. Patent Pending, y'all.

CF74 we not only feel your pain, we're thinking about starting a support group for people that want to punch him.

It would worth the price of admission to get a peek inside that brain of yours. I've learned never to sip a drink if I'm going to read your posts or I'll be cleaning the monitor and keyboard.

Too!

Awesomely vivid visual with the breakfast food clinging to the dead stiffs chin CC


+3 points awarded for "brilliance in verbal projection" ,,,well done!

Those Chevrolet commercials of how their car won so many awards and all these people are just so amazed and them opening surprise doors or latches to show their cars

 

[jsb357]

currently Crown Royal water break top the list.

on the other side...

The first "Romo" Corona commercial was cool.

Now they are starting to get stupid.

 

[YosemiteSam]

I cut the cord many years ago, so I don't actually see commercials anymore.

And they love that "real people, not actors" disclaimer at the front. Really? I could have sworn I saw several up for Oscars.

What they leave off the end is "but following a script". And that guy showing them all of the surprises creeps me out. That man has secrets.

I will add to that Crown Royal ad, with that annoying gulping, people making noises with their mouths, like Pringles or Twix. Hell, we know they're crunchy, why is the hell do they think we avoid being around people eating them?

I know I am anal about noisy food but I was scarred several years ago. I took some buds to Bossier City for some gaming and once we got onto I-20, I hear this crunching noise and it's almost nonstop with maybe a second between the first crescendo crunch followed by descending crunches. I began to grip the wheel a little tighter and shifting in my seat and the slow burn began until I erupted. The closest thing I can give in the way of comparison was Jon Favreau's character Danny in "The Replacements" when Gene Hackman tells him to get the ball. My man, Dan, was behind me and eating those bigass Corn Nuts one at a freakin' time, it was sheer torture because no matter how loud I got the tunes, I was listening for the crunching.

But that was just the beginning because after they stopped laughing at me and for the next two days, Dan would sneak around and get as close to my ears without me seeing him and pop one into his mouth and crunch down with his mouth open. But I figured it was karma because I had an office manager in OK that was the worst about that I've ever known and won't even eat crunchy food herself. I would call her from outside the office, disguise my voice and crunch a piece of celery into the phone and she'd go berserk. Guess I got what I deserved.
