The Infidel

I'm glad to see Rally's has apparently done away with Mr. Bag. Unbelievably grating.

Now I'd like to see an end to the insipid Jeep commercials with the guy repeating "4 by 4 by this...4 by 4 by that...4 by 4 the other thing..." over and over. If only the ad companies knew all the people out here who absolutely LOATHE all things repetitive.

Burger King does have a $4 meal, but it doesn't include the Whopper. But none of the other chains $4 or $5 meals include their signature burger either.

But that's not what they're trying to sell you in the commercial. They want you to buy 2 $5 meals for $10 as if that's a "deal". And, frankly, though I'm sure it doesn't count in this case, I'm always getting very generous coupons in the mail from BK, and there's usually a couple giving me BOGOs on Whoppers and Whopper Jrs. Of course, I can't afford to eat fast food every day.

2 Whopper meals for 10 dollars is a deal if you're not eating by yourself.

Still much better than their hot dog commercial. Ugh.

And the whopper meal thing got me to buy a whopper for the first time in like a decade or so, so it worked.

I am sure it's been mentioned but any Liberty Mutual insurance commercial.

Is your life so sad and cynical that you can't comprehend someone could possibly be giving you a genuine, personable greeting? Just respond in kind, do your banking business, and get the fuck on with your pathetic life, you unbelievable twat. I swear to fuck, if someone came in and started talking to me like that after I've been nothing but friendly with them, I'd tell them to go cower in a dark corner and eat their own ass.

Please watch this and tell me you don't want to stomp on the face of everyone in it.

Agreed. That stupid frumpy chick going on about her car "Brad" needs to go away now. It feels like they've been running that spot for years.

bunkaroo

What a dumb fucking spot. I'm surprised I haven't see that yet. I wonder if that's the commercial BMO got for free by paying for 4 others or something.

Good fucking Christ. I am glad I don't recall being subjected to that back then. Not only would I never buy a Mitsubishi after seeing that, I'm pretty sure I would ram any Lancer I saw on the road.

My latest hatred is the Charter Spectrum commercial with the guy beatboxing.

james2025a

Add me to the list of haters of those stupid adverts. That Brad one pisses me off. The line delivery of that pedantic girl makes me want to hit her in the face with a shovel. Just annoying as fuck.

Oh, and I hate those adverts for some cash quick company where all the people sing some shit about needing cash now. Whoever comes up with the ideas for these things and then the person green lighting them have no clue.

james2025a

He looks seriously pissed off at the end of them. Seems a grumpy fuck though in real life.

"We are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike. We are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike."

RichC2

This ad has been on for over a year now, repeatedly, and it still annoys me.

bunkaroo

Who ever narrates the Mazda commercials needs his nuts cutoff and shoved in his mouth. The ost condescending and patronizing tone ever. "Midnight run for tacos al pastor"....fucking douche bag.

Also, there's some new Walmart back to school commercial with kids singing Whitesnake "Here I Go Again" - not cute, just fucking annoying.

Double_Oh_7

You may hate all these commercials, but the fact that you remember them, and are talking about them, make them a success.

fujishig

Depends. Sometimes commercials are memorable but nobody can remember what the product is. Sometimes commercials are so hated they make you hate the product. I know visibility is everything but that still seems like negatives.

On the other side of the coin, I appreciate Draft Kings taking a shot at themselves with their newest ad, where they all but admit they went overboard with the commercials last year.

Dr. Mantle

There was a series of Sprint(?) commercials in the late 90s or early 00s. They featured a smarmy bitch face Sprint employee talking directly to the camera. They were trying to take business from AT&T, so every ad featured Smarmy Bitch Face talking TO AT&T or to the audience ABOUT AT&T.

I can't find anything online. And it's not the ones with Candice Bergen. I sear this campaign went on for two years. A lot of ad campaigns that over stay their welcome do so after a really good initial commercial (like the Taco Bell chihuahua). These always stuck out to me because they were so terrible, but the company just kept going with it.

It may not have been Sprint. But I feel like I have an innate hatred for Sprint, and I'm pretty sure this ad campaign is the reason.

bunkaroo

Yep they make me remember not to patronize the companies subject me to their shitty commercials.

SuperJim88

Didn't particularly cared for the tone, but the message is actually pretty powerful so I gave it a pass.

The ones they ran during the Olympics were especially bad. The pretty girl who builds jet engines (yeah, because hot girls often take jobs manufacturing heavy machinery) who over-explains her job to her borderline-retarded family.

They're obsessed with teaching us that GE is a digital company and an industrial company. Okay, but what am I supposed to do with that information? I don't know why that information would help me in any meaningful way. Do they want me to buy their stock or something? Should I be shopping for a new jet engine?
Besides Jack Donaghy on 30 Rock did a much better job explaining what GE did than these idiots ever could.

JimRochester

I remember them alright. It certainly isn't going to make me do business with them though. It's the opposite. If a Liberty Mutual rep called me about car insurance I'd hang up on them. Oh, I remember them alright.

Vipper II

I believe it's Aaron Paul, of Breaking Bad fame. They even made a reference to it in S3 of Bojack Horseman.

Quatermass

Are you talking about the MCI commercials?
