re: Annoying Commercials

what about the Pepto-Bismol commercial with the line of people doing sort of an f-ed up version of the Macarena, grabbing their heads, chests, stomachs and butts as they chant:

Headache, Heartburn, Indigestion
Upset Stomach, Diarrhea!

re: Annoying Commercials

Anyone see that cheesy Applebees commercial during Monday night Football this week where the football team lost and got to Aplebees just as it was closing, and a bartender, the manager and one waiter are still there and supposedly stay open just for the team? How in the world do they expect to be able to cook for and feed an entire high school football team with a guy who really only makes drinks, a manager and one waitress. It was stupid.

How about the new line of commercials where the chick goes "AIR? OH MY GOD I LOVE AIR!!! IT'S LIKE WHAT LOTTERY DID MY NOSE JUST WIN!!" I can't remember what they're for, but i wanna pull that office chair out from underneath that chick and laugh at her after she falls on the floor.

ANY QUISNOS commercial!
The FANTA one with the hideous girls dancing around singing "Wanna Fanta don't you wanna Fanta"
SO many more!

CJR, you and I need to get together. :)

As for the Peto-Bismol Commercial, I LOVE that one! My 83-year-old father was singing along! Then again he uses pepto for all those problems about twice a day.

I get annoyed by the charmin commercial

Hey little fella
better change your touch
What you thought was enough
Might be too much

It's more cushiony than ever before,
Chamin Ultra, less is more!

When they say "Less is more"
Less is more!
It's more absorbant than
the regular rippled brand for sure!

What'cha used to love
Now you're gonna adore,
Charmin Ultra,
Less is More!

Cha cha cha, Charmin!

Can I turn the tide of the thread for a sec? This week I saw a commercial that made me laugh so hard that tears came to my eyes - the car commercial with the couple that keeps trying to beat one another to the car in the driveway......brilliant!

re: Annoying Commercials

yea, I liked that one also.


Here in Chicago a local business called Illinois Title Loans has Mr. T (that's right Mr.T doing their commercials)

In one of them he says "everybody need money every now and then. even Mr. T been broke a coupl-a times."

TOO funny!

re: Annoying Commercials

I love the diamond commercial in the Piazza. That guy is HOT!

I hate:

The Old Navy commercials. They are, as usual, vomitous.

The maxi pad commercial with the groupies waiting for the band after a concert.

The Domino's Pizza commercial with the grandmother teaching the family how to rip and dip. "Now you got it!" Yeah, that's really hard to do. Thanks, Grandma.

The Whopper-head commercials. Idiots.

Any commercial that features cute animated bears taking a dump.

"Gotta go! Gotta go! Gotta go right now!" Since when did we need commercials for this?

I don't watch commercials anymore because of Tivo. But from what I have seen; the Gary Coleman Cash Call commercial takes the cake.

"Gotta go! Gotta go! Gotta go right now!"

hahahahahahaha

I recently saw archive footage of a commercial Courtney Cox was in about the same time she was in the video for "dancin in the dark" It was a commercial for some sort of feminine prodcut. It was the first time the word "period" was used on televison in that context. So we have her to blame for all the maxi pad commercials that have come since.

re: Annoying Commercials

i am annoyed by just about every political commercial. they tend to not give information i'm even interested in and target people who do not look into things. there are far too many.

i also specifically hate the kohl's commercial (i don't know how widely televised they are around the nation, so maybe you might not know this one). the commercial itself is fine, but at the end of every one there's this lady who sings the word, "kohl's", in the most irritating voice. it's like she's singing and getting punched in the stomach at the same time.

re: Annoying Commercials

The paper towel ad featuring a kid shaking a bottle of soda that he opens up and it sprays all over the place. The mother turns around and sprays him with the hose from the kitchen sink. It's irritating as all hell. What a horrible message they're sending.

GAH! If I'm thinking the same commercial you're talking about, I love that one!

And the mother is the fabulous Liz McConohay (who's name I know I just butchered, but I too lazy to look it up).

CJR - I guess that even though we are from the same town, we don't think alike!! I have to turn the channel every time that commercial is on. Oh well.

re: Annoying Commercials

I haven't seen that paper towel ad since it first started airing, but I'm sure if I saw it all the time it would grate on my nerves.

I found it highly amusing re: Annoying Commercials

re: Annoying Commercials

those ridiculously hardcore TRUTH ads by the anti-smoking people. first of all, if they're allowed to advertise on TV, it's only fair that cigarettes be granted the same privilege, during certain times of day or on certain networks at least. secondly, they go too far and it's upsetting to my constitution. i'm not a smoker, for the record.

re: Annoying Commercials

Commercials that really annoy me are the ones that don't tell you what they are about!! Like some of the ones for prescription meds. It's like "gee...that's a nice name, but what the heck is it for?!"

I really like the Geico commercials. Specially the one where the gecko breaks out singing 'everybody was kung-fu fighting!! Those guys were fast...as...light---ening..." lol

re: Annoying Commercials

i watch an insane amount of tv (sometimes i tivo and get to skip) so i see an insane amount of commercials. and they are ALL ANNOYING. kohls, the animated bears relieving themselves, the pepto, the kid making a mess- i hate them. then, there's the ATT GSM one that is on EVERY FIVE SECONDS. dude, i don't care that you got in late and couldn't call but now you can. you don't have to tell me all the time. i also hate the Folley's commercials. "always something there to excite me." so. irritating. jc penney "it's all inside" is played ad nauseum as well. locally, there are disgusting ads for something called "empire floors" and the jingle is just...eugh! and for some reason, there are three different companys that clean carpet, and they all hate eachother- kiwi, dalworth (call 187-8433, because the next best hting to new is dalworth clean!) and stanley steemer (tough on dirt, gentle on carpet!) are in a war over who cleans carpet better. the old navy commericals- "air? i love air!" and "history? i love history!" have got to go. i can't tell you how many ads i mute! OH and the worst are the revlon "i beeeelive in love, i beeeeeeelive in loooove!" that are on litterly every commercial break for every show on the air.
....maybe i need to cut down on my tv viewing...

"That Six Flags man is the scariest thing I've ever seen. Who the hell is that guy?"

I admit it, I AM the Six Flags guy.


Here's one from a while back that I kinda liked:
A man and a woman are sitting in a fancy dinner. The dialouge indicates it's their anniversary and no, he didn't forget to get her a present. He then produces, from under the table, a shoe box with this look on his face like "ta da!" Her face drops. He says "but, you like shoes." She yes, well yes I do." He then look at her and says "just open the box" She does and immediately looks up at him with a shocked look. He reaches in and pulls out a glass slipper. The scren then changes to the Disney logo and the word "magic" end of commercial.
