Title: Commercials that enrage you
Post by: Doormouse on October 29, 2009, 09:29:11 PM
Currently there are two that get to me.
Go National commercial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86_lLQQT3zw#noexternalembed) - Why the fuck is John McEnroe so pissed off? This commercial bugs me because McEnroe's response is completely inappropriate for the situation.

Geico Pothole commercial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjMUfIKktWU#noexternalembed) - The voice of the pothole really makes me want to hurt people. I'd better never run into the voice-actress because if she opened her mouth, I'd probably break her teeth. I hit mute on the remote every time this shit comes on.

All commercials enrage me.  I pay a monthly cable bill to have somewhere around 1/3 of the time I spend taking advantage of the service for which I pay filled with garbage I don't want to see. 

I would just cancel cable and have no TVs in the house.  But I'm outnumbered in my house on the cancelling cable issue, so I'm out of luck.

Chris Farley doing the "Fat Guy In A Little Coat" routine for David Spade, for Direct TV. That's just creepy since Farley has been dead for 12 years...

Farley's the second dead person Direct TV has used for their ads. Remember the one with Heather O'Rourke (the little girl from Poltergeist)?

What the fuck is wrong with that company?

I think showing Billy Mays commercials is completely different than taking a dead person's performance in a movie and using it to endorse your product, don't you think so?
Title: Re: Commercials that enrage you
Post by: Doormouse on October 30, 2009, 02:03:23 PM
Yeah it depends on context no doubt. My point is the fact that it's a dead person doesn't bother me.

I love adverts.
Agreed. Even crappy ones. I know this thread is about commercials that enrage a person, but I like the fact that those exist too. Commercials are close to fnords. Everyone watches them and everyone reacts internally and only a few people discuss them.

When we were in India we saw an advert on the back of a magazine for a ruler.

"guy 1: hey, what's your favourite hobby?
guy 2: answering stupid questions,
guy 1: are you being serious?!
guy 2: no, I'm sirious!

You can't always get a straight answer, but now you can get a straight line!"

I laughed so much I wrote down the email address to contact them to tell them how fucking awesome their advert was. ...Never got round to it though..

They've grown on me, but I used to be pretty mildly irritated by them.

The same goes for the change in voices for the Geico Gecko.

Remember when he spoke like this:
The 1999 Geico Gecko (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Qc1H2SMK1s#normal)

Instead of like this:
Geico Commercial - Cafe (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDRjZ-t_X1k#normal)

I've grown tolerant of the new voice, but it used to bother me.

EDIT:
I also hate geiko gecko ripoffs like this superbowl '07 Sobe commercial:
SoBe Super Bowl Ad Stars Naomi Campbell (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8c_uvQ3Mp_8#normal)
Yes I know the Sobe lizard is older than the geiko gecko, but I'm pretty sure this was the first time they rendered him in 3D and tried to evoke a badass version of the gecko. Worthless. That year had some far superior ads. The talking baby one was pretty damn good I thought.

On the one hand I actually prefer PCs, but on the other hand I don't think these commercials are showcasing the best aspect of Macs. In fact I think they're showcasing the worst aspects. I'd be much happier to be friends with the PC guy. I know the joke is ancient, but which one of those two would you hire? Which one do we think has long-term prospects?

I don't think there is anything worse and more annoying than radio ads.

I don't mind radio ads as much because I don't pay anything for radio. 

The only ads I don't mind are print ads, because they gave my hot chicks to use as masturbation material before I could get my hands on pornography (or real boobs).

"Quit yer whining and get a job already!!"

Oh that wasn't why it annoyed me, it was the sense that JG Wentworth was some liberator, that he was sticking it to THE MAN and giving Power to the People. When in reality, JG Wentworth IS The Man, and all "he" is doing is offering a far smaller amount than he'll eventually receive for instant cash to people too poor to be able to hang around and get the full amount over time.

Sure, it's a useful and sometimes necessary service for people in need of cash urgently, but let's not pretend JG Wentworth (or any of the many others doing the same thing) is anything more than a moneylender whose pound of flesh is guaranteed in the form of a structured settlement.

I have no problem with anyone doing this, I just take exception to how dishonest and misleading the ad is.

Orbit commercials, on the other hand, can be pretty damn funny. The one below is great.

Not wishing to sound homo phobic, but commercials with fags piss me off.

Blokes cooking, cleaning or just being camp looking pricks. And they're always in "male" skincare adverts with hot models.

Whats this saying to kids? "Be a bummer and get some pussy". No wonder they end up confused...

I was reading this thread backwards and so when I saw this post I first thought you were being serious.

It was a 'woah' moment.
Title: Re: Commercials that enrage you
Post by: OriginalRessotaspiksMan on November 28, 2009, 07:27:00 PM
Actually I thought he was being serious too.
So I put a load of bootpolish on my face. And started rapping about recent murders with a replica in my hand on Youtube.Called myself the Knightsbridge Massiv Posse.
Then went out, saw a model who was in rap vid with Taio Cruz.
Who seemed to be distinctly unimpressed by my talk of "wasting motherfuckers", or with being called bitch and hoe...

Unfortunately, I've only just been released by the cops...
The worst part was when they asked me how to spell "pussy"...

Makes sense I guess. I actually notice it more this way. They should have just pulled the whole ad.

The most creepy thing about Hard-On Bob is the fact that the government caught him up for tax evasion after finding emails between head executives of the company that detailed their plans. These emails were collected as part of the warrantless wiretapping scandal related to Bush's 9/11 response. I'm not saying tax evasion is something we should be protecting, but I am saying that after these people got busted as targets of opportunity I started reading Tru's posts with less of a smirk.

As far as current commercials, I hate to say it but Flo from the Progressive.com commercials is starting to grow on me with her rockabilly look and all. I'm deeply in conflict with myself since those commercials are otherwise so painful.
Title: Re: Commercials that enrage you

No. Close, but no. Go back to smirking at Tru.

The brains behind Enzyte got 21 years and several million dollars in fines for fraud because his product does NOTHING.

Then, later, six members of Berkeley Nutraceuticals, Enzytre's parent company were indicted on income tax evasion.

But one has little to do with the other.
