Donut | Thursday, January 31, 2002 - 09:23 pm     at Phrf's request, and with pleasure, i present to you this thread for bashing those commercials that make you feel like pulling your hair out so that then you have to watch a really bad hairclub for men commercial which makes you feel like puking which reminds me of that horrible commercial where a woman just HAS to have her own oatmeal... |
Whoami | Thursday, January 31, 2002 - 10:08 pm     Hehe, this is a revival of the "Stupid Commercials" one I started at the end of last year (it sunk into archives after a few postings). But, now that someone ELSE started the idea, it will probably take off much better! Let me think of a few. But we better let other people post first, or I'll kill this thread before it gets started. Maybe I should change my ID to ThreadHitMan?  |
Donut | Thursday, January 31, 2002 - 10:38 pm     no whoami! lets hear yours. I killed tons of BB threads myself! and lets not forget that i started, and killed the song parody thread... |
Donut | Friday, February 01, 2002 - 11:14 am     boy, whoami, talking about killling threads; i think i have killed the entire website!! it seems to be down or everyone left town since i posted everywhere last nite! |
Whoami | Friday, February 01, 2002 - 11:42 am     I was going to say the same thing about killing the whole site! I had a bit of trouble getting in a couple of times yesterday (I got "page cannot be found"). Then, it took a couple of hours before I could get in this morning! I thought I killed it. Maybe we did it together? |

Jeep | Friday, February 01, 2002 - 12:53 pm     You guys are not alone! I haven't been able to get in this site all day. I'm thinking about the commercials. I fast-forward thru most of them. |
Whoami | Sunday, February 03, 2002 - 01:03 pm     Well Donut, I shouldn't let this thread die! Let's see if I can think of a few.... Some breakfast commercial I think. First, they show a "Leave it to Beaver" type of family pleasantly saying "good morning" and all, then the voice over says "get real." Then they show screaming kids, chaos, and commotion while the mother gets two kids off to school. After they leave the house, the dad (sitting at the table, reading a newspaper) says, "are the kids up yet?" I hate these "clueless dad" commercials. JC Penney had a series of them a while back too. Aren't we way past the days of openly expecting Mom to do all the child rearing? Sofa Mart had a really tastless one after Christmas. The wife tells the husband to take the tree (all dried up) out to the curb, and he says he'll get to it later. They leave the house, and the tree falls over and sets the sofa on fire. With some of the yearly tragedies surrounding Christmas trees, and knowing how incredibly fast a fire can spread through a house, I didn't find this commercial funny or witty at all! Give me a while, I'll think of some more! |
Neko | Sunday, February 03, 2002 - 01:25 pm     I really don't like the commercial for Pampers Pull-Up Training pants. The little girl says "Don't flush the toilet when Mom's in the shower...Freezing!" I always laugh because she has it completely wrong. I've gotten "flushed" quite a few times and it's diffinately NOT cold water! |
Whoami | Sunday, February 03, 2002 - 11:14 pm     OK, got another couple... The cold medicine commercial, where the "somewhat stout" African-American man is heading up the stairs with a glass of milk. He gets halfway, sneezes violently and spills all the milk. First of all, I have been carrying glasses of liquids many times when I feel a violent sneeze/cough come on, and I always find a way to keep from spilling the liquid! Secondly, if the guy has a cold and phlem filled throat, the last thing he wants to drink is milk that will leave a filmy slimy taste in the throat! The Halls cough drop commercial, where the two kids are beating on the Dad cause he has a cold, and is too sick to take them skiing. "Come on Dad, your bumming us out." He takes a cough drop, and voila, he feels good enough to take them skiing, and in the process teaches kids all over the country who are watching that it is unacceptable for a parent to feel sick and rest, and all you need to do is pound on them with a pillow to beat them into submission and do your bidding. I remembered seeing another one come on tonight that always gets a "ugh, not this stupid commercial again" response, but for the life of me, I can't remember which one it was now! Oh well, it will probably be on again.....ammo for another post. |
Whowhere | Monday, February 04, 2002 - 05:52 am     Any and all Mentos and Old Navy commercials. |
Neko | Monday, February 04, 2002 - 07:18 am     Old Navy is the best store though I agree, I don't like their commercials. Ahhhhhh!!!Mentos!! *Runs off screaming* |
Donut | Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 10:43 am     i cant stand moms who dont act normal, like the new ad for gravy and the mom says 'how do you spot a yum?' and then she makes this obnoxious facial expression at her kid, that you would only make if you were getting paid to do what the clueless director tell you to do... |
Jbean | Friday, February 22, 2002 - 09:07 pm     any and all of the britney spears pepsi commercials, including the new "generation" ones! is she ever gonna go away?! also, i don't know which furniture company it is, but it shows the guy going into people houses and making fun of their non-matching furniture. i will never buy furniture from this company, because if they want to be making fun of non-matching furniture, i'm thinking they can buy it for me! |
Jbean | Friday, February 22, 2002 - 09:07 pm     also, the new victoria's secret commercials...can we say soft porn? |
Christina | Saturday, February 23, 2002 - 04:58 am     oh i have one that drives me crazy....Cant remember if it is vic. secret or vodka. A bunch of women playing strip poker. It bugs me cuz i cannot imagine what my 12 year old boy is thinking. I just see the grin. ughhhhhh!!!! |
Neko | Saturday, February 23, 2002 - 10:23 am     Vodka |
Dahli | Saturday, February 23, 2002 - 07:34 pm     'soft porn' *hopes saying it will make it go away...* |
Twiggyish | Saturday, February 23, 2002 - 08:12 pm     We have a retirement community commercial, which airs constantly. During the morning shows, it is on sometimes 2x in a row every other minute!...accck!! I hate local car dealership commercials. We have a local Honda dealership, where the announcer YELLS, YELLS and YELLS about deals!! We always click away from them. The commercials are louder, too. |
Whoami | Sunday, February 24, 2002 - 01:10 am     Don't know if it's a local commercial or not. But the guy who hawks Oxi-Clean and Orange Glow.... Can't he just talk? Must he scream? I mean, realx and take a FULL breath fella!! I told Mom the other day he is the most annoying hawker I have ever seen. Inspires me NOT to buy the product. I mean, if he has to scream it to get our attention, then is the product really not all that great? |
Jbean | Monday, February 25, 2002 - 07:58 pm     twiggy, we have an onoxious local car one too, where the guy yells. they have a new ad almost weekly! there is also a hyndai commercial, i don't know if it's local or not, but they sing this jingle...monday, tuesday, wednesday, hyndai, thursday friday saturday, hyndai....etc etc, until at the end "every day and every way you'll love a hyndai" AAUGH! these car people make me want to rip all my hair out! |
Donut | Friday, March 15, 2002 - 10:48 am     OXYCLEAN!!!!! whoops, sorry i was yelling--that guy is really getting to me too.. and i still cant stand the gravymom's facial expression, as a matter of fact most commercial moms are very annoying, esp. since they seem to hire 23 year olds to play the moms of 14 year old kids! at least that Dove commercial is gone. that was the worst " please dont wear mommys clothes, mommy doesnt wear your clothes" |
Tksoard | Friday, March 15, 2002 - 11:12 am     That stupid Subway commercial where the guy is walking into the resturant and says "Gee, I hope they can talk about something other than food." Stupid Sh1t!!  |
Teddybear | Friday, March 15, 2002 - 12:00 pm     That Mountain Dew commercial where the dad drinks the boys Mountain Dew because they are fighting over it and the boys like "We got hosed". Its some kind of animation thing, but it annoys me every time I see it. I just dont get it. |
Schoolmarm | Friday, March 15, 2002 - 04:29 pm     Oh, Teddybear you are probably too young to remember "Davy and Goliath". They are the characters in the Mountain Dew commercial. It was a children's show put on by the Lutheran Church with little "get along with each other" morals at the end. SOOOO, the Dad drinking the Mt. Dew because the friends were fighting over it....HA! Neither of them get the Dew because they were fighting. "We got hosed!" (And DAD gets the Dew!) I LOVED this show when I was a kid! It made me feel like a kid again to see the Dew commercial. <marm leaves humming "A Mighty Fortress", the theme hymn for the Davy and Goliath show!> |
