....and he's married now! and he has chores!....-eek-

-1-800-SAFE-AUTO. I hate all of them, especially the ones where they show people "singing" the jingle in the shower.
-"Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now?"
-"They took 5 seconds and made it 5 seconds." "They took Joe and made it Joe." Okay, whatever, shut up already.

Then there's always the absolutely disgusting ad for some toilet paper, where we get to see a nice CLOSE-UP view of the area to which this product is to be applied, with a variety of people wagging their asses in the camera.

Mmmmm, very attractive idea for an ad. -rolleyes-

(I guess it's the "Bathroom tissue for dummies". For individuals that just *might* not know where to apply the product.)

No, not really....but runnin' to get some trim wouldn't hurt anything. (You can keep the beer. They all taste like crappola anyhow.) :)

I'll second that.

Wal-Mart commercials...Always...annoy me.

Abranut 02-23-03 07:25 PM

That new Subway commercial with the guys talking on the bus.

"Hey, are you going to work at Subway?"

"Yeah."

"Would you mind telling me what sandwiches are new at Subway?"


AHHHHHHHHH!


My left one could've written that damn_commercial.

costanza187 02-23-03 07:55 PM

Can you hear me now??? Hey Verizon, can you hear me? that guy is freakin annoying!

chowderhead 02-23-03 08:06 PM

Jarrid and the Subway commericals -smug bastard.
The Eddie the Echo McDonald's ads - annoying.
The can you hear me now guy - very annoying and blatantly lying.
The naked guy running like an idiot in the Nike Ads.

Dr. Phibes 02-23-03 09:13 PM

That car commercial with that girl in a barret (spelling?) doing that really awkward "dancing" in the car. I believe it's a Mitsubishi ad, it was spoofed on the first skit on the first episode of the Dave Chappelle show. The girl in the real commercial actually makes me want to harm someone.
Also any of the "truth", drugs are bad, or better still the "buying a $5 bag of pot supports terrorists who kill Americans". Those have got to go. At least those ones are good for a laugh though.

Additionally, he's quite a scary-looking man.

Hideous.

- "Can you hear me now"
- Jared and his "friends"
- Celine Dion/Randy Newman singing commercials.

BizRodian 02-23-03 10:37 PM

Yeah, the other subway guy who goes around being an ass to other resturants is a **** too.

redskull47 02-24-03 09:25 AM

Ok, all the commercials everyone's listed are indeed annoying. But I cannot believe no one has mentioned the unholy hellspawn that is
CARROT TOP!!!

I assume it takes a lot more than just ONE person to run a major long distance company. It therefore boggles my mind that a whole board room full of managers, consultants and stock holders could ALL agree that this bizarre-looking homonculus was not only funny, but THE one person to best represent their corporation to the public.

He makes me long for the days when David Arquette was doing these CALL- ATT commercials. You know, if we could somehow clone Carrot Top and drop the clones on our enemies, that would be 100 times more effective than any bomb we could threaten any country with.

fujishig 02-24-03 09:45 AM

On a side note, I just saw that Leno commercial they play at the theatres, before a film airs (I was watching Daredevil). That whole beheaded carrot top thing was right on...

Tsar Chasm 02-24-03 11:08 AM

Well, I think this thread is all the proof they need to know that commercials work.

God Bless Tivo.

HistoryProf 02-24-03 01:07 PM

The Marijuana is worse than we thought ads.....propaganda BS.

Celine Dion in a car - i want her to die...or at least never ever ever sing again.
Coors Light Ads
Bailey's Irish Cream ads
Jared the subway deuchebag
Olive Garden ads

My favorite new tv promo: ABCs "Hold your Breath Sundays" - Why? so you can't smell the stench coming from the set? (thanks to Jimmy Kimmell for the perfect joke on that one)

and the clear winner: Digiorno "it's not Delivery!!" - NO ONE HAS EVER IN THE HISTORY OF PIZZA EATING EVER REFERRED TO THIER DINNER AS "DELIVERY">>>>NO ONE _ NOT EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
