Re: Commercials that just irritate you....

Some of us have said we're annoyed by the "men are neanderthals" commercials, but there is one that makes me laugh. TGIFriday's. These guys are singing out the manly foods they like. "Beef!" "Pork!" Then, the last guy goes, "Vegetable medley!" His buddies look at him funny, so he changes it to "RIBS!" Heh. Amuses me.

Another kind of funny series like this is the "men should be men" beer ad. In it, a man acting less than manly has a huge beer can dropped on him. The latest, the guy starts jumping on a trampoline, doing leg-lift things in the air, and the can drops and breaks through the trampoline surface.

OK, if we're taking a break and listing a commercial we like, I'll add the Citibank Identity Theft commercial with the two old ladies, Thelma & Norma, talking about the motorcycle they bought:

Norma: It sounded like "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh...."
Thelma: No, it was more like "Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb....."
Norma: No, it was like "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh...."

I've seen it many times, but I still laugh like it's the first time. Most of those Citibank commercials are pretty funny.

Those Washington Mutual adds with the black guy leading around a bunch of bankers like they were a bunch of first graders are pretty annoying.

And I hate that they are not calling their bank "WaMu". WaMu sounds like a killer whale at Sea World, not a bank!

I pretty much despise all of the Sprite sublymonal ads. Makes me want to switch to 7-Up. Their "now all natural" ads are more motivating than Sprite's trash.

Re: Commercials that just irritate you....

I think it's time to spice things up a little and mention a commercial that DOESN'T get on my nerves, mainy because I think the girl in it is cute.

I think it's one of the commercial for Cingular(?) where people are talking to the camera about their cell phone provider "dropping the call". The one I like is the one with the girl standing outside a building holding an umbrella, she's really cute, I think anyway.

The others I of course can't stand.

The commercial is for Dunkin' Donuts shops...so only Nor'easters may be impacted by this monstrosity. HERE is a college kid's take on the ad. Pretty funny!

Re: Commercials that just irritate you....

For a moment, I thought you wandered into the wrong thread, Mike.

Edit: Okay, that does suck. But, it's not as bad as their damn "pleather" ad:

Karate: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...07282255502873

Pleather: https://dunkindonuts.com/aboutus/AmericaRunsOnDD.aspx

Then again, I think karate gets the edge.

Have you ever seen the Yellow Book ads where they pretend that Yellow Book makes other products? The girl drinking the Yellow Book soda!!!!! Ummmmm, perhaps she's a bit too young, but woah!

As the hottest woman in commercials, I'd rate her second behind the sweaty dancing girl in the Old Spice deoderant commercials. Daaaaamn.

Re: Commercials that just irritate you....

Can't say i've seen that particular Yellow Book commercial, but i'll watch for it.

The hottest, almost in the literal sense considering what the product is, commercial i've seen in some time is the Tobasco sauce commercial with that excruciatingly hot girl in t. It's ne of the one's that premiered during the Superbowl the year before last.

Re: Commercials that just irritate you....

Um...I've been wondering who the brunette with the long hair is who does the Mercury Montego (and other Mercury models, I think) commercials.

It's been out for a while. Actually, I haven't seen it lately, but I just saw it the other day, which is why I mentioned it here.

I wish I could find the Yellow Book girl, but there's nothing anywhere!

Re: Commercials that just irritate you....

The most annoying ad, that just started airing is the new anti-smoking ad, with the guy in a mattress store, talking about banning sleep. Apparently since a tobacco exec once joked that since so many people die in their sleep they should ban sleep. It was OBVIOUSLY a joke, but the guy in the ad is so serious, and hates cigarettes so much, he doesn't see it that way and treats it like it was a serious statement.

Now, I don't smoke. I have no intention of ever beginning. But, the ad is so obnoxious, that it makes me want to go out and buy cartons of cigarettes.

Re: Commercials that just irritate you....

All of those ads are obnoxious, and I don't smoke, either. "A tobacco lotion!" (laugh track)
post #226 of 567

Re: Commercials that just irritate you....

I've been seeing an anti-smoking commercial here in NY that I could live without.
It has a guy who had his voice box removed cleaning the hole in his throat (traich.. ?) and covering it with a wet ascot as part of his daily routine. He places something up to his throat to amplify what he is saying so you can hear him. Reminds me of Sanchez in the PJ's.
I find this to be one of the most graphic anti-smoking ads yet. But, if it gets folks to think about quitting, I guess I'll deal with it.

I thought I was the only one. She is super cute, there's just something about her. Her features are unique.

Back to irritating, all of those TBS commercials talking about what is 'funny' and if you can laugh or not. Anything that points out that it is funny or should be funny, usually isn't funny to me.

John, now I know who you're talking about. Yeah she's cute. She got kind of a Mila Kunis meets Mia Sara thing going on:

That's her, Mark, and you pretty much nailed the comparison.

Re: Commercials that just irritate you....

Are you going to change the thread title to "Commercials with hot chicks that just excite you..."?

Not sure about the smoking ads mentioned but I imagine they're from that "truth" group. I really don't understand the point of this group. I guess after stealing billions of dollars from the tobacco companies there's plenty of money to be wasted.

The "Mercury Girl" ads drove me nuts. For the first 4 or 5 spots she was wearing the same damn clothes! And they're not good looking clothes, they look weird. It was like she had a freaking uniform like she was stuck on Gilligan's Island or something. I was so happy when they finally let her change clothes.

What the heck do you do with a lubricating mist?

Well, as long as we're going with a theme, I submit the hot woman from the older "VW/Inspiration" Commercial:




Heck, if we're going to have to deal with commercials, we may as well get something out of them.

Does "hot woman from the older "VW/Inspiration" Commercial" have a name?!

I have no idea. I was trying to find info on the commerical, but I couldn't find anything. I'll keep looking though.


p.s. I'm almost positive it was VW, but I could be wrong.

Re: Commercials that just irritate you....

I hate any commercial where the main character turns and gives a half glance and wink at the camera. The above mentioned hot non-clothes changing girl from the Mercury commercials does it and there is one from Coors Light where some guy does it as well while dancing in the street. For some reason, the little "secret wink" sends me into a mini-rage and I wish death upon those that give it.
