AAAAHHHH I can't stand those idiotic commercials! So damn annoying. :|
Why don't people just use porn like back in the good old days?
 
McDonalds
Verizon

Sprite - their previous campaign ridiculed all the other soda marketing campaigns because they were alluding to false charactierization of their products - and they turn around and pull that stupid sh!t with the talking "urban" doll? How about they rename their soda "Hypocrite?"
 
omg!!! ok I feel the need to post here because i feel it might be appreciated in this thread...!!!

I work as a director in Hollywood, today I was watching a screening of a final cut of some stupid girl's film. She was bragging about the new orchestrated/electronic score that she just paid for and added to her film, which sounded average at best.

After the screening, I was talking to her outside. A man walked up beside her.

Her: Oh hey! This is my man right here! He composed the score to my movie!

Me: Neat...

Her: Yeah he just did the music for the mcdonalds commercials, you know, the "babababa....im lovin it!!!!!"

(The guy): Hi...I am... (I dont even remember his name, He wants to shake my hand)


I looked at him in the eyes, shook my head and walked to the bathroom. I hate those commercials so much, on so many levels. Maybe I act childish and burnt a professional bridge (haha!) but I dont care, it felt good and it was worth it.


The film sucked by the way, and so does that guy, and those commercials.

I hate ALL advertisements - particularly radio. Every goddamn product has some cheesy jingle that makes my blood pressure rise. Local jewelery stores are the worst - I'd love to dropkick those chodes in the chest.

Damn, I cracked up after reading this post. It's SO TRUE. Plus, "dropkick those chodes in the chest" is hilarious.

Oh yeah, and something about those McDonald's commercials really bothers me. They make my skin crawl. I don't know what it is, exactly; I just know that they're horrible.

I probably would have done something like "OH MY GOD that was you? OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD etc" and forced myself not to rip him apart. I bet he gets that response a lot.

I work for a non-commercial (College) radio station. NEVER listen to commercial radio. In fact, I watch damn little TV - mostly news, sports, documentaries, that's about it. Used to watch the Simpsons and reruns of Seinfeld, the only sitcoms I will EVER watch. Just bought Simpsons 2nd and 3rd seasons, so commercials bye, bye. I generally record my sports events and cut out the commercials, so you see, my commercial IQ is pretty low.

Anybody notice the amazingly, mind-bogglingly high proportion of car commercials? I usually see them at 9x speed! 😉 Does the USA have cars on the brain or what?

I gotta wonder if you are not deluding yourself, if you don't mind my saying so. That's classic.

Ooooooooo... That's the one moment in Jaws I can't stand! hehehe. The chalkboard and Quinn.

God, that annoying as fvck Dr Cinnamon trying to sound all technical.. :|
 
i can't belive no one mentioned BOOST MOBILE.

Now I wouldn't get a loan from ditech if I needed it to save my house.

And if I ever got my hands on that Ditech guy I'd bury him up to his neck in an fire ant hill.
 
The WORST is McDonalds. I saw a fat black lady on the other day and she says in the commercial "A SISTAH'S GOTTA EAT!" My g/f was like, did she just talk in ebonics omg??!!


Next are the stupid Mazda commercials with the little boy whispering ZOOM ZOOM with the stupid Reggae guy singing ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM OH YAH YAH YAH in the background, makes me want to go the the dealership and roundhouse the manager.


Next are the MITSUBISHI Gallant commercials where they compare it to another car and throw bowling balls, or run them off the piers, and don't show the end. No, we have to go YOUHAVETOWAITTOSEEWTFHAPPENS.com. Yeah, like I'm really going to waste my time nor do I give a sht? Just show the fricking end of the clip already u stupid tools.


Honorable mention goes to OLD NAVY and their stupid, preppy, yuppie world of cheer. Morgan Fairchild reminds me of Mrs. Cleaver and I'm just waiting for one of the guys to say to the other GEE WALLY?! WHY ARE THESE CLOTHES SO CHEAP AND FALL APART IN THE WASH AFTER 6 MONTHS? "Because Beaver, they're made with cheapass materials and assembled with slave labor!"

Last is CapitalOne. It should be showing the truth, that all the bad warriors/ghosts/Vikings/<insert evil nasty mean entity here> kill the person WITH the CapitalONe card because they gauge all of their users up the rectum with high interest rates and have suckass customer service... WHAT'S IN YOUR RECTUM? should be the slogan...
