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

Remember when he spoke like this:
The 1999 Geico Gecko

Instead of like this:
Geico Commercial - Cafe

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

Man, seriously.

I'm torn about these:
"Get a Mac" Collection

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?

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...

Another thing I don't like are the Travelocity roaming gnome commercials like this:
Exclusive Roaming Gnome Interview
So lame.
The thing that bugs me is that I feel like this is taken directly from Amelie. I thought that was a great movie, and it kind of sickens me to see how much these ads cheapen it.

The geico caveman series.  Every time I see this I want to throw something at the TV.

I thought it was OK at first. Ever since I discovered there was a show based off the commercials, though, I've been kind of soured on the idea.

Ah thank you! You just reminded me which advert I meant to post here!

wtf?!? lol

There's a fucking SHOW?!?!?  An actual show that's not just another elaborate GEICO ad??  That programming exec needs to be shot.

I think he probably was: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavemen_(TV_series)

The Cavemen ads have definitely gotten lame now, but this early one still cracks me the fuck up:

Geico apology

Don't tell me that this one doesn't bring a tear to your eye...

Caveman and 3 Doors Down-Bowling

That one's not really that clever, though. And that song BLOWS.

The commercial blows, the song blows and Three Doors Down blows.

It brings a tear when I think of how much the fuckers that thought that was good enough to subject the public to get paid.

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).

This one used to particularly annoy me.

JG Wentworth - Its My Money & I Need It Now Commercial

This one used to particularly annoy me.

JG Wentworth - Its My Money & I Need It Now Commercial

Indeed.

"It's my money and.."

<SMACK>

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

This is one that drove me up the wall because they played it *every* break:

Kitsmiller RV JingleWords

This one used to particularly annoy me.

JG Wentworth - Its My Money & I Need It Now Commercial

Indeed.

"It's my money and.."

<SMACK>

"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.

ah, yeah, I never thought of it like that

I hate these adverts:

T-Mobile What would you do with free texts for life?

T-mobile What would you do with free internet for life?


I even saw them on the Bus.

And you didn't go running to join Josh's band?

Meanwhile, I kind of like this ad. It reminds me of Ren and Stimpy in a way:
Old Spice: Scents For Gents (2009) Commercial - Hilarious

I did, they rejected me, that's why I hate the stupid adverts!

It just annoys me that of all the things to do with free texts and internet, he chose make a band. A band.
I mean... Organising a music festival makes more sense, or running for mayor or selling meth. Just not a band.



Also, that's a brilliant advert, I lol'd.

mmm... yummy cheerleader legs...

I have never hit a woman in my life, but every time I see this goddamn ad, which here lately seems to be every ten minutes, I want to track this bitch down and pound her face until the pavement until there is nothing left but a few bits of brain and three teeth.

Education Connection Commercial Jingle

I think it's the inherent snotty attitude Mac people have, not realizing that they are just joining the cult of proprietary EVERYTHING.

I've not decided if I like these adverts or not yet.

ROWNTREE'S RANDOMS TV ad: Directions

ROWNTREE'S RANDOMS TV ad: Parents Evening

Not bad. Candy commercials are usually pretty great.
I adore the Skittles commercials:
Hilarious Skittles Commercial
I wish I could find the one they used to play in the 90s with a claymation planet... It seems to be missing from youtube.

This is one of my favourites:

Skittles: Pinata

Yeah Skittles commercials rule.

I also can't tell if the old Sega commercials are as good as I remember them. I looked up a few, but they fell short of my memories. Maybe it's just because I was a giddy kid back then and anything video-game-related was magic.

hahaha, those were brilliant.


And reminded me of:
Smarties - Blue is Back

which is epic just for the last line.

Blackcurrant Tango TV ad

also brilliant advert
but kinda old now.
