Any commercial trying to sell me CDs, especially Kidz Bop CDs. Horrible little brats who cant sing (or dance) songs that are already overplayed so much that you're sick of them --and these versions have been editted so that they're kid friendly... Disgusting.
An old Twix commercial about a guy trying to get with someone at a party. He is pretty shady—obviously an attempt to connect with college males. This continues to an online advertisement where you choose untruthful and manipulative answers to help him get laid. In fact, if you tell the truth, she just sends you home. Admittedly, a nice way to enforce perceived differences between the sexes. You can still find it on Twix website, though I'm not if they edited it—I doubt it though.
Adverts up here are a lot to do with local businesses. And you have some pretty pointless businesses, who produce a lot of pointless adverts. Case in point: Gillies.
Most subway commercials. I find it annoying how most of their commercials are about how if you don't eat at Subways you will get horribly fat. That or if you don't choose subway you might aswell eat your money. Any commercial that asks you to text some number for something.
The commercials for Carl's Jr restaurants, I don't know if they show them anymore-but for a long time they had the "If it doesn't get all over the place it doesn't belong in your face" motto and the commercials always showed gross messy food dripping all over the place. I'm a very clean eater and messy eaters have always kind of nauseated me, so I HATED those commercials, they made me want to throw up. Lease appetizing campaign ever, really. Not that I'd eat fast food anyway.
Bluurgh, half the adverts people have mentioned here sound terrible. -- This reminds me of an old cooking programme ad. Showed a load of couples in a fancy restaurant, and they started chucking all this really nice food everywhere --tons of it. Such a waste, and it was so effing annoying the way all these 'celebrities' were giggling like small children as they smeared mash over each other. So mature. *sour face* Ha I'm a grumpy git but GRRRR it was awful. ....all these on this thread are a good reason to not watch channels that screen ads I spose!
I'm not uptight or anything, and I'm a pretty playful person in general, but I'm totally with you on that because food fights in movies/tv have always really angered me. I've gone hungry in the past and food is NOT something you waste. Nor should it be portrayed as such, that drives me crazy!
It's the only ad that I always mute when it is shown . I think someone else mentioned the ads which tell you you text a number and get something in return?
the speeding one. it say's if you hit a child at 40 mph it has an 80%chance of dying, if you hit a child at 30 mph it has an 80% chance of living. in the advert when it says the first bit, you see a girl being ran over, she dislcates her knees and breakes her arm and crackes her head open. when it says the last bit she gets up, all her bones go back to normal and all the blood goes back up her nose and face, then she walks off. its well creepy
I didn't do it. I have an alibi. But I won't feel guilty over my opinions about him. He was unbelievably obnoxious as a pitchman. Obviously that isn't a capital crime, but I will be glad when his commercials have run their course and are shelved forever. Mays was 50 years old. The same age as Michael Jackson.
The first time I heard of Billy Mays was reading this thread yesterday. Being otherwise unoccupied I wandered off and Googled him. Now I find out that he dropped dead a few hours later. That's one bit of knowledge that's not going to help me in later life.
This thread was the first thing I thought of when I heard that. That was the second thing. Crazy coincidence...
I'M TYPING IN ALL CAPITALS THIS WEEK IN HONOR OF OUR HERO, BILLY MAYS. HE DIED FOR OUR STAINS. Teehee.
Condolences to Mrs. Mays, but I wont miss him. OxiClean is pretty awesome though, for being glorified hydrogen peroxide and water.
Unless you need it to remove movie theater butter from a white shirt...because I bought that stuff when I worked at Harkins, and it did nothing for me.
We lost a national asset . . . his voice could melt enemy steel. That said, I hold no malice toward the man and extend my condolances to his family.
