Title: Annoying Commercials Post by: bsfins on May 01, 2008, 01:08:21 pm (can you tell I'm bored out of my mind today?)
Lately I've noticed the commercials have just gotten very annoying...The 2 that have been the worst for me... The Progressive commercial with the annoying store clerk..She makes me want to throw something at the T.V..It seems like they run this commercial 50 times a night..... The subway $5 foot long commercials...Same thing,It seems like it's on constantly.... Here's what I have for both of these.... (http://xs227.xs.to/xs227/08184/stfu_pen_teller209.gif) So any commercials you find annoying? Title: Re: Annoying Commercials Post by: TonyB0D on May 01, 2008, 02:37:56 pm wow i was just thinking of the subway commercial. not to mention their subs are garbage, but goddamn that song is GHEY. who'd they get to write that, john mayer, DMB, or jack johnson??
Title: Re: Annoying Commercials Post by: BoSoxGrl on May 01, 2008, 04:05:51 pm The creditreport.com commercials...funny the first time until it's stuck in your head for a fucking week.
F-R-E-E that spells free credit report.com baby. UGH HOWEVER, the new DQ commercial made me laugh hysterically. Anyone else see it? Title: Re: Annoying Commercials Post by: SportsChick on May 01, 2008, 04:22:07 pm Commercials? What are commercials? Isn't that what the DVR is for?

Title: Re: Annoying Commercials Post by: Sunstroke on May 01, 2008, 04:36:01 pm I can't believe you guys don't like the freecreditreport.com commercials. Those are the coolest jingles going right now. "so, instead of looking fine and rolling phat, my feet are sticking through the vinyl and my posse's getting laughed at..." The Subway commercials...definitely annoying. Title: Re: Annoying Commercials Post by: BoSoxGrl on May 01, 2008, 05:12:23 pm you mother f&**ker. it took me 2 months to get the one from the seafood restaurant out of my head. now its back. thanks a lot :( I'm glad I'm not alone...glad I can help!Title: Re: Annoying Commercials Post by: Dave Gray on May 01, 2008, 05:48:03 pm HEAD ON.
APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD. Eat me, head on. I would never buy you on principle, because I don't like having your message screamed at me, like I'm a child. Title: Re: Annoying Commercials Post by: StL FinFan on May 01, 2008, 05:56:55 pm ^ winner for most annoying commercial ever
Title: Re: Annoying Commercials Post by: Guru-In-Vegas on May 01, 2008, 07:15:32 pm Damn I must watch almost NO t.v. I have no idea what commercials you guys are talking about except the Free Credit report one.
Title: Re: Annoying Commercials Post by: BoSoxGrl on May 02, 2008, 08:59:33 am HEAD ON. APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD. Eat me, head on. I would never buy you on principle, because I don't like having your message screamed at me, like I'm a child. Ladies and gents, we have a winner. Title: Re: Annoying Commercials Post by: Buddhagirl on May 02, 2008, 09:09:01 am I can't believe you guys don't like the freecreditreport.com commercials. Those are the coolest jingles going right now. "so, instead of looking fine and rolling phat, my feet are sticking through the vinyl and my posse's getting laughed at..." I love this one just because of the blonde in the backseat that looks so trippy while playing his guitar or whatever it is. Title: Re: Annoying Commercials Post by: MaineDolFan on May 02, 2008, 09:18:22 am It's not so much an annoying commerical like the ones outlined here, but it's so poorly written it comes off as annoying.
The spot is for Subaru. It starts with showing people getting ready for the night life, people dancing, a dj spinning in a club. The voice over is something like: "You dream about nights like this. The fun. The energy." And then it completely shifts into talking about a car without any seque on why the car has anything to do with the "fun" and "energy" of "a night like this." It shows the car driving, opening a moon roof, no one more word about the first 12 seconds of the commerical. It's really amazingly horrible. Makes me wonder if Nickleback wrote the spot, it doesn't make sense. Title: Re: Annoying Commercials Post by: Dave Gray on May 02, 2008, 11:05:31 am Damn, Nickleback is taking a ton of shit on the boards these days.
They are like the "go-to" band for hating....sorta like the Vanilla Ice of this decade. Title: Re: Annoying Commercials Post by: TonyB0D on May 02, 2008, 02:23:36 pm Damn, Nickleback is taking a ton of shit on the boards these days. They are like the "go-to" band for hating....sorta like the Vanilla Ice of this decade. they are! they're AWFUL!! every song sounds the same. they're so bad that when they opened for bon jovi at giants stadium, everyone tailgated until we heard they were finished playing. THEN everyone starting filing in!

The commercials along this line that aggravate the blue bejabbers out of me are the Gillette commercials that basically tell you that if you shave with their lousy blades, you'll get the girl, the promotion, the sports car, etc... Target market for these commercials are the human lemming demographic. Title: Re: Annoying Commercials Post by: DolFan619 on May 02, 2008, 02:34:47 pm The Progressive commercials are annoying. Everytime I see that annoying clerk, I feel like back-handing her just so she would shut up. The Sobe commercial where the lizards are dancing to "Thriller" is also really stupid.
Title: Re: Annoying Commercials Post by: bsfins on May 02, 2008, 03:02:40 pm Thank you Dolfan619...I thought it was just me....
**hijack*** I like the free credit commercials,yes the diddy does get stuck in your head.I think it's very well written when you look at the commercials as a whole... The other commercial that I love....the Amp energy drink,with the fat tow truck driver that puts the jumper cables on his nipples and starts dancing to "jump" the lady's cars....After one attempt,he drinks amp,and dances again..Starting the car.... I can't stop laughing when I watch this commercial,they played it a lot during the hockey playoffs on Versus.... **end hijack** Title: Re: Annoying Commercials Post by: Buddhagirl on May 02, 2008, 03:20:21 pm Thank you Dolfan619...I thought it was just me.... **hijack*** I like the free credit commercials,yes the diddy does get stuck in your head.I think it's very well written when you look at the commercials as a whole...

Title: Re: Annoying Commercials Post by: Dave Gray on May 02, 2008, 05:08:51 pm I don't know that these are annoying, but Skittles commercials are definitely weird.
Check this one out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG0zDltjL_o Title: Re: Annoying Commercials Post by: Philly Fin Fan on May 02, 2008, 05:15:47 pm Am I the only person who has no idea what the "head on" commercial is? I thought I watch a lot of TV, but obviously not.
Title: Re: Annoying Commercials Post by: bsfins on May 02, 2008, 05:16:21 pm ^ that's a twisted commercial Dave... :D
Here' the amp enrgy commercial....I didn't rmember it as a superbowl ad.... ??? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecQnqW80zbU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecQnqW80zbU) for Philly the Head on commercial.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is3icfcbmbs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is3icfcbmbs) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_SwD7RveNE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_SwD7RveNE) Longer version They even have one where customers come on,and say I hate your commercilas,but your product works,...I've seen that the most... Title: Re: Annoying Commercials Post by: Guru-In-Vegas on May 02, 2008, 06:42:09 pm Am I the only person who has no idea what the "head on" commercial is? I thought I watch a lot of TV, but obviously not. No, you're not. I only know of the free credit commercials. I only watch like an hour to 2 hours of t.v. though at the end of the night when I'm going to bed. And even then its DVR stuff. Title: Re: Annoying Commercials Post by: Dave Gray on May 03, 2008, 01:20:41 am Watch the Head On commercial, Philly. Then understand that it's played at the maximum volume possible. It's very obnoxious. It's also probably geographical. It was on all the time in S. Florida, and was pretty much unavoidable.

It looks like a commercial thats played on low end cable channels at 1 AM. Title: Re: Annoying Commercials Post by: run_to_win on May 03, 2008, 02:36:27 pm The creditreport.com commercials...funny the first time until it's stuck in your head for a fucking week. My kid is so sick of me singing that song...F-R-E-E that spells free credit report.com baby. The baby talking into his webcam about buying stock is pretty good.

It's also probably geographical. It was on all the time in S. Florida, and was pretty much unavoidable. Yeah, for the longest time I thought these were a joke. I mean seriously, this was the first commercial I had ever seen where I actually questioned whether I was supposed to feel inclined to buy the product afterward. They mocked this commercial on one late-nite show once, either Conan or SNL or something. I can't remember, but it was hilarious. |
