Commercials You Can't Stand One More Time

Why do they play the same tv commercials over and over and the same ones every ten minutes?

I will scream if, even once more, I have to see the Domino's Philly Cheesesteak Pizza commercial where the woman in teh home store tests a door bell and a bunch of drooling, half witted, beer bellied morons come running over to her. If I ever would have had a desire to try this pizza which sounds a little disgusting, this commercial would stop me.

Also, I want Lil Kim to keep her fat booty of my tv screen.

They were actually fun when they had Carrie Donovan flaunting her unnatural obsession with that mangey dog while George and Weezy were ski jumping.

Yea the new Old Navy commercials I can't stand them! It might have to do with the fact that I work at Old Navy For the holiday season but I just can't deal with them ore the don't on the CD we play at the store.

The Old Navy commercials, where Fran Drescher does little more than smile directly into the camera.

I hate that radio commercial for that cheese...Alowet, or however you spell it. I would really like to know what advertising moron came up with that one. I will purposely not buy their product because I hate that jingle so much.

Fran Drescher is probably the best part of the Old Navy commercials. I certainly don't want to resemble those idiotic models. Fashion is at a new low. Probably because it is trying to mimic the 70s - the worst fashion decade in American history. The only people who think 70s fashion is cool are those who didn't have to live through it.

LOL Well, I didn't have to live through the 70's, and I'm glad. I don't like the styles from that decade at all. The 80's weren't that great either, but at least people had more individual style during that time. 70's clothes were just, BLAH.

Right now, I HATE that stupid commercial for McDonalds with that IDIOT "caroler" who puts a microphone up to a STUPID musical stuffed animal. The way they TERRIBLY edited it, his DORKY head bouncing doesn't even match the music. I HATE IT!

I feel a little better now.

I forgot about this commercial until I saw it this morning....The Build-A-Bear one with the girl sitting on her bed singing some weird song I've never, ever heard. God that girl has a terrible voice. My guess is she's the daughter, granddaughter, or niece of one of the big names involved with that commercial.
The song goes something like, "Oo sha-la-la, oo oo sha-la-la-la" and then the bunny joins in. **Cringes just thinking about that girl's voice**

That particular MacDonald's commercial never fails to make me laugh!

I'm with Theaterbaby!

It's the new commercial that drives me the wildest. The little Lolita is singing some Britney-esque ditty in her pink suburban boudoir and her smug mom comes in, whisks her to the mall, where they buy a teddy bear, dress it like a teen Ho, then return home and we fade on Lolita listening to the bear robotically sing the same Britney-esque number (yeah, a weird come-hither "shalalala" the telling musical hook). WHAT is appealing about this?! Is the ad about helping your little overly sex-ed up teen rediscover her inner bear cuddler? What?

"Is the ad about helping your little overly sex-ed up teen rediscover her inner bear cuddler? What?"

I think it's more about helping your little overly sex-ed up teen sex up her stuffed animals by dressing them in tight pants and crop tops. Why try to change the teens of today when you can just change the toys instead. *please note sarcasm*

LOL I was just watching the Little Debbie commercial on tv where the kids in the classroom sing "My Girl." I think that commericial is adorable, and the children in it have really good voices.

Any commerical with James Earl Jones in it. I think they discontinued the one where he's doint stunts for the wireless company (I hated it so much I can't remember which one it is).

How about the commercials with the jingle "Gotta Go, Gotta Go, Gotta Go Right Now." Those always make me cringe! How much do those people in those commercials get paid? Can you imagine their recognition? "Oh, I remember you! You were in that bathroom commercial, and you had to go BAD!"

[Mister Matt]

BudFrump - LOL!!! That really put a smile on my face.

I haven't seen this mysterious McDonald's commercial. Is it running in Chicago? I always enjoy the Marshall Fields commercials here during Christmas. I wish I could have bought a single of Three Mo' Tenors singing that jingle-jangle-jingle song from last year. This year, it's Bond. I saw them perform live at Marshall Fields for their renovation promotion. If you haven't heard this incredibly talented classical/instrumental/disco girl-group, give them a try. Marshall Fields is selling their single from the Christmas commercials this year.

That's too funny, Bud.
If you think it must be tough to be an actor in the gotta go commercial, imagine what it must be like to be the person who neds prepartation H, the woman who doesn't feel "fresh" or the guy in the Phillips commercial who always has constipation. I don't think I would want to be known as any of those people.

I once had a guy come up to me in Times Square and yell out "hey, you're the guy in the Benneton ad. That's you on the billboard over there". I have always been glad it wasn't a billboard for an STD like in the episode of Friends or a cosntipation remedy ad.

I never did like the distasteful (literally) Meow Mix commercials, with the cat always singing. However, now that I haven't seen any in a long while, I start to miss them...

[jrb_actor]

LOL--I spent 4 hours in a Meow Mix cat costume to greet their big wigs and their bank big wigs at a meeting one day a few months back. Thank goodness I only had to listen to about 15 minutes of the Meow song coming out of the ears of the van made up to look like a giant orange and pink cat--complete with tail, eyes, whiskers, and wagging tongue!

Actually, it looks worse but it tastes great. We've got a local commercial here where a teacher is asking kids about Rhode Island. First kid says Rhode Island is the smallest state, second one says Rhode Island is the "Ocean State," third kid starts going on and on about a college tuition program in Rhode Island. It's a good program, I guess, but I am so damn tired of that commerical!

what about the Hershey's Kiss commercial where the kisses play "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" as if they were hand bells and the last one goes "whew" at the end? Jeez, get a new Christmas commercial people!!! Every year we have to look at that thing a thousand times...

hopefully now that we're past Christmas, we won't see that rip-off of the "dancing Broadway" commercials: the one for a stereo store where the hapless polo-shirt and Santa-cap clad dancers poplock a bit with cheesy downlights to an inane holiday pop song. It just looks desperate and sad given the excellent dancing commercials of the past. The cheapo production elements really are pitiful.
