Annoying Commercials

[DomCasual]

Has anyone noticed those GMC Keys to the Game commercials, where James Brown provides insight into a matchup from next week's games?

This week, they ran it during the AFC Championship. It was something to the effect of, "The keys for the Bears in the Super Bowl are to score more points than their opponent and avoid destroying the city in riots should they win. This has been the GMC Keys to the Game."

It always reminds me of some generic commentary off of Madden football.

They're pretty annoying.

The Wendy's "$2.99" commercial drives me batty. I think of a more annoying commercial right now.

Ew, no kidding. That guy eating the small french fries looks like the kind of guy that eats his boogers.

Well, I never looked at it that way before, but know I will every time, guaranteed.

Single worst EVER. Who wrote that **** a 3rd grader studying advertsing. Its obvious they were using the "say if over and over to drive it into the weak minded sheep" theory but WAY over done.

They must have actually gotten complaints so they did the spin off commercials of "HEAD ON....HEAD ON.....HEAD ON....I HATE YOUR COMMERCIALS BUT YOUR PRODUCT IS AWESOME...."

I actually told the wife if you EVER buy that **** I'll have a fit like you've never seen before. I forbid the use of that crap in my house based on that commercial.

any commercial with pay a ton

CUT THAT MEAT!CUT THAT MEAT!

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

I hate any advertisement where they try to trick me into paying attention to it or participaiting in it. Attachments to the Sunday comics, sticky notes on my newspaper, "surveys' that are actually sales calls, mail that is designed to look like a check, etc

How can GEICO insurance sustain THREE major TV ad campaigns at the same time ... and still keep rates down?!

1 - The gekko with the Aussie accent signing up jungle reptiles and doing talk shows ...
2 - The cavemen enduring prejudice and psychotherapy while they ponder existential questions ...
3 - Celebritys telling real-people stories (Peter Graves, Little Richard, Movie Trailer Guy, Verne Troyer)



For heaven's sake, Budweiser barely advertises as much as GEICO does.

Honestly, I know some people really like them, but I think the cavemen thing is stupid. It was kind of funny the first time I saw it, but now it's just become annoying.

The caveman needs to just get over it and move on with his life. Seriously.

[BroncoBuff]

The line, "It's my mother ... I'll put it on speaker," in the psychologist's office, just after he proudly and successfully stands up for himself, is a very, very smart line ... and very, very funny.

[-Slap-]

Some of the caveman spots still make me chuckle.

It makes my kids giggle to no end.

This isn't one I hate, it's one that makes me giggle every time I see it. An NFL commercial where the guy goes into the lockerroom and sits on the table next to the guy with the dislocated finger. The way the guy faints just kills me.

Smiling Bob should be ****ing shot. A lot of times.

As far as the radio goes, no commercial makes me want to drive my car over a cliff MORE than that stupid sunshade awning (or some form of deck covering) commercial.
"Harry" as he's called while being intterupted repeatedly by some trailer trash no talent hack of a voice over, is simply trying to let us know the benefits of having a retractable awning for those hot summer days .
The woman that keeps asking him to TELL THEM ABOUT THE DISCOUNT HARRY honestly has the most annoying voice I've ever heard. ever. and the vigor with which she interrupts asking the same vaunted question just makes my blood pressure rise. I'm guessing she's probably not married (or if she is he's probaly deaf) because no one, AND I MEAN NO ONE, could stand the sound of her voice for more than 15 seconds at a time. AAAAAHHHHHHHH



Tell them about the discount harryyyyy
(shut the **** up lady)
Tell them about the DIScount harrYYYYYY
(holy cow who the hell is this pterodactyl)
TELL them about the DISCOUNT HarrYYYY
(Temperature rising, Vision blurring, Rage . . . taking . . . over)

HARRYYYYYYYYYYYY

(explosion of fists and obscenities, she would be lost)

wow. hopefully that commercial never comes on again

I HATE SIRIUS RADIO ADS! I listen to NFL Radio quite a bit, and their ads are atrocious. All of them for GoToMyPC make me want to kill. Then there are the ones for that business opportunity - where the "boss" is talking to his employee, saying, "Hey, where did you get the money to buy that car? Did you read ?" Or how about Lucinda Basset for the Midwest Center for Anxiety? That woman would make me nothing but more anxious.

Amen on the Sirius Radio ads. Can't stand them. Almost as bad as Jerry Rice saying "uh" every other word when they have him on.

I also agree about the repetition on the NFL Network TV channel. Ugh.

My top nomination for annoying is the Orbit gum ad campaign. "Dirty mouth?" I never get the humor - it is just BAD.

HAHAHAHA I wondered if I was the only one who noticed that. It's seriously painful. I started saying, "Uh" everytime he said it, and it just makes my wife crazy. She hates that channel as it is, but the Jerry Rice thing just pushes her over the top.

I always wonder if the other host (Bob Papa, I think?) needs medication after doing a few hours with Jerry Rice. It would frustrate the crap out of me - I'd always want to scream, "JUST SAY IT, DAMN YOU! SAAAAAY IIIIT!" Throw in every caller starting the call with, "Hey, Jerry - big fan here."

"Um, thanks man. Um, it's great to, uh, hear from, um, the fans out there. Um, uh, uuuuuum, it's good to, um, to hear from you."



"JUST SAY IT, DAMN YOU! SAAAAAY IIIIT!"

I think Papa has to work with Carl Banks, too. He's another one I'd want to beat down if I ever had to spend a few hours with him.

Absolutely. When they first brought Rice on, he was in primetime slots. Now I only hear him, uh, at night. I guess, uh, they figured out, uh, that he is no good at radio. And all the callers slobbin the Rice knob when they called in was more than I could stand. I quit listening to that channel for months because of Rice. A couple of years ago, they had Dan Reeves in the morning and Schein partnered up with John Riggins in the afternoon. It's all been downhill since.

That's the one I am talking about. "HEY, NICE CAR, BOB!"

How would that commercial ever make you want to call to get the CD?
