Annoying Commercials - The Orange Mane

Kaylore · 11-04-2006, 08:16 PM

Do you ever hear/watch a commercial and it makes you want to break your radio/TV?

There are two that are like that for me right now. The one on the radio is that Linux Financial commercial with John Shibley. The way he says "re-fehnance" and his annoying use of the word "Cash" conjures the image of one of those used car salesmen from the south with the big cheezy smile. And I hate their stupid "It's the biggest no-brainer in the history of Earth" comment. Yeah, in all of the history of our planet, getting "re-fehnanced" for more "cash" is the one choice all mankind can agree is the easiest. My brother was in the car with me during one of them and said "Bigger than eating food!"

The second one is on the TV and it's that Enterprise rent-a-car commercial with those women walking and one of them annoyingly shouts "let's go guhrls!!" and the rest of the car commercial plays like an Oil of Olay add with the women moving in slow motion and fawning all over the camera like they just got married. DIE!!!!!!!!!

Thoughts?

Local commercials are generally schlockier than national ads, especially the radio spots. The ones that piss me off are the radio ads that get your attention in the car by playing a siren noise. For a split second I think ambulance or cop before I realize its some devious prick who just kissed away any future business we potentially might have done.

The guy who does the ads for Goodtimes grates on my nerves to the Nth degree. He's just got a deliberately annoying voice that makes me want to burn down a Goodtimes restaurant.

I hate the Shane Company commercials, where he gets into some fake conversation with the person, and while one is talking, the other is like "uh huh, yeah, uh-huh, mmm." It makes me want to drop sugar cubes in the gas tank of the jerk who put those commercials together. They're not having a real conversation. They're each on their own track, laying down commercial tape individually. Tom Shane never met any of these ya-hoos.

Far and away, the most annoying commercial of the year has to be:

HEAD ON, APPLIED DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD
HEAD ON, APPLIED DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD
HEAD ON, APPLIED DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD
HEAD ON, APPLIED DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD
HEAD ON, APPLIED DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD

I hate the commercials where people are driving and all of the sudden someone crashes into them while they are talking. They just bother me for some reason.

Thankfully, the political commercials will go away after today (Tuesday). Those are the only ones that really drive me batty...

I think they're hilarious. Some of the stuff they try to argue in those is just hilarious.

Clockwork Orange · 11-07-2006, 12:04 AM

It always annoys me when commercials have people, who are supposed to be average joes, talking nothing like actual people talk. An example would be a Burger King commercial where some schmuck will walk up to the counter and ask for "A juicy, flame-broiled Whopper, hot, crispy french fries and an icy cold Coke." If some a-hole in line in front of me ever actually said all of that, I'd want to stab him in the neck with a pencil. Fortunately, that won't happen because nobody actually talks like that.

"Have a cream soda or some damn thing."

GREAT movie.

I hate the constant repetition of crappy commercials. There is no reason to play the same commercial in consecutive breaks, or in the same break for that matter.

I have to mute the NFL Network during commercial breaks. The repetition is maddening.

Billy Clyde Puckett · 11-07-2006, 06:26 AM

I hate that hillbilly singer trying to look tough to sell Ford pickups.

Like it or hate it? Bob, getting large and going long.

Dr. Broncenstein · 11-07-2006, 08:34 AM

Without a doubt, the John Cougar Mellencamp / Chevy Silverado commercial. Holy ****ing **** I hate that goddamn ****!!!

I hear he attend some church in the Springs regularly

GonzoLays · 11-08-2006, 12:13 PM

Sprite 'sublymonal' advertising is the worst commercial in the history of television.

Obey? Who in the **** are you to tell me to ****ing obey? Aaarrgh, I have never boycotted a product before Sprite lost my 75 cents a month on that one.

Whoever came up with that one should be shot.

Kaylore · 11-08-2006, 12:46 PM

How about that woman from that D-way commercial for satelite internet service with her incesant nodding at the camera and her retarded "how cool is that?" comment? I hate those commercials.

That woman in those Ionic Breeze infomercials is made of plastic.

I also want to punch the guy in those pyramid scheme commercials where the guy says the word "mentor" like fifty times. Another reason to never go to Utah is that half the state is selling soap or inviting you over to offer you an "exciting business opportunity."

The networks do seem to be pounding the same few commercials into the ground during games....is it just me or has it been taken to extremes this year? It does seem much worse than before.

GonzoLays · 11-08-2006, 04:56 PM

We should make this a poll.

I nominate Sprite's Sublymonal advertising campaign. That damn commercial irritates the hell out of me. Seriously, can you find one freaking person that says, "yea, thats a cool ass commercial."

Clockwork Orange · 11-08-2006, 05:03 PM

Any commercial that involves Matthew Lesko. Stop yelling at me, give The Riddler back his suit and go find a government program that involves you being hit in the face with a ball peen hammer.

Almost all of them. But I just phase out when they come on and think about more pleasant things.
