What, has everybody forgetton Carrot Top?

Hokeyboy 02-24-03 04:40 PM

Local to South Florida, but this one gives me the squirty brown stew every time:

(sung to the tune of Ghostbusters)

If you need a car,
truck, or van,
Who you gonna call?
Ma-ROONIE!


Absolutely vomitous.

Also, whatever happened to those horrid banshees, the Fantana girls? Good golly! They pick up four banana boat refugees and turn them into a lousy soft-drink marketing gimmick? Puke inducing!

(Mazda commercial)

One of my favorites! :)

Although the women is undoubtably beautiful, the T-mobile ads from Catherine Zeta-Jones are annoying to the "T." They're trying to be chic or something but it's just plain annoying.

gondorspit 02-24-03 06:41 PM

Though the anit-Pot ads are the most offensive, they are amusing enough that I don't hate them. (especially the one where the kids are at the drive-thru, smoke just pouring out of their car, and on like the third take, for whatever reason, they hit a little girl on her bike.)

Subway and Carls Jr. both make their food look terrible through stupid advertising. Listening to other people eat does not make you hungry. And the Clay Henry song got stuck in my head for a week after the Superbowl.

Oh, wait, got one more. There was this McDonalds commercial a while back, I think it was a Big Mac commercial, where they had the absolutely douchebaggiest(I know it's not a word, yet) bunch of people. They each rapped ( I guess that was what it was supposed to be) two words at a time, went something like "Two all-" next person "beef patties-" next person "special sauce" and so on for the entire commercial. Anyone remember that one? That was easily the most annoying ever. I found myself diving across the room several times to grab the remote and turn off the tv when that came on, and I refused to eat a McDonalds during that commercial's run.

No one mentioned the Geico/Gecko commercials. I would love to crush that stupid lizard.

fujishig 02-25-03 01:00 PM

I guess the commercials that people hate are generally the ones that get overplayed... but do their job of at least getting viewed by a consumer. (Though I don't think I'll ever get tired of that gatorade jordan vs. jordan one)

Don't remember the McDonald's rap, but I do remember that time where they started saying the whole menu in one song (Big Mac, McDLT, Quarter Pounder with some cheese, etc.)... even got a little promotional record from it.

Those Carl's Jr. ads are hideous. It's the only time I've considered not eating at a place because of their commercials. I guess it appeals to someone, since the ad campaign's been going on for years now, but ick. (the only one I did like was with the restaurant waitresses singing Happy Birthday).

I dislike that Levi's jeans ad with the running buffalo or whatever because it makes no sense, and they spent a lot of money on making it and airing it during the Superbowl. ugh.

Is that rude Subway guy (not Jared) someone famous? He looks kinda familiar, but I could never place him...

I generally enjoy the Jack in the Box ones...

Forgot that one. Attention Gaico, or whatever the f&#k your name is: Those commercials with the insufferable creature aren't the slightest bit approaching the realm of being somewhat mildly nominally marginally anywhere near providing the least scintilla of a modicum of amusement. The lizard wasn't strangle-worthy on its own; you had to give it an English accent. Then you brought in that retarded dog from the fast food commercials. HAR-DEE-HAR-HAR

Could 'ave been worse. Ze lizard could have ze French accent, n'est ce pas?

Crotchal products!!
 
I don't want to see any ads for crotchal area personal products for sexual, medical, hygiene, or whatever uses !!!

And especially not when I am having my dinner!!!

Exzavier00 02-25-03 02:33 PM

everyone has to check out the Jim "THE HAMMER" Shapiro commercials from Rochester NY.
http://www.armchair.mb.ca/~scissors/rochester.html

This guy is pretty crazy and he must me a desparate lawyer.

also does anyone remember a commercial from the 80s were they had a retarded kid next to a trash can saying "don't throw me away" ?
No one remembers this when i bring it up.

Mister Beefhead 02-25-03 03:30 PM

:D You guys are all nuts. :D

Man, every time I see one of those Carl's Junior commercials on my west coast feed I consider driving two thousand miles for a damn burger. Those commercials just make the food look sooooo good...I assume I'm not alone in this, which is why they've been so long running.

toolbin 06-16-07 07:16 PM

The most advanced piece of technology...


...you will ever pee on!

leeta 06-16-07 07:55 PM

The Burger King commercials with the "King". I cringe whenever they come on.

kenbuzz 06-16-07 10:30 PM

Wow, nice resurrection: 4 years, 3 months, 22 days.

.... and leeta didn't notice. :)

Rockmjd23 06-16-07 10:33 PM

That stupid singing skittles rabbit commercial that all the netdorks love so much.

calhoun07 06-17-07 01:51 AM

I find just about all the Skittles commercials annoying. And Coke commercials.

nateman 06-17-07 09:02 AM

I hate most commercials period but Zoom, zoom, zoom... yeah, zoom, zoom zoom... (Mazda commercial) still remains the most annoying.

clckworang 06-17-07 05:49 PM

Wow, this is one old thread!

I can't believe that no one mentioned the old "whassup" commericals for whichever brand of beer. Those drove me fuckin' mad! Even worse was the trend that started where people thought they were clever by imitating it.

I don't think I've ever found a commercial more annoying than that series of ads.

7Keys 06-17-07 05:56 PM

I hate the Wendy's commercial.

It has the guy with a red pig-tailed Raggedy Ann type wig on. There are a bunch of people kicking trees and all of the sudden guys says we don't have to do this...we want fresh meat on our burgers! Or something dumb like that. Makes no sense what so ever.

Bacon 06-17-07 06:06 PM

McDonald's- those McMillionare commercials make me want to punch Ronald in the balls

Birrman54 06-17-07 06:42 PM

how about the Heineken Light commercials? "Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?" good god they've been playing it for 18 months
