commercials that bug you

most tv sucks these days, but there are some shining examples of good writing, acting, camera work, etc... we call those Deadwood and Arrested Development. Family Guy sucks ass, though...

Moderators: Batman, Zero, John Madden, Bob Ross, General Zod, Richard Simmons

No matter what time of day or channel I have on, it seems like there is an Obama ad. McCain is almost as bad. Come to think of it, it isn't limited to TV. It seems like Obama has bought half of the ad space on the internet, too.

Oh, and there is some commercial for a pest control device that plugs into an electrical outlet. That commercial is frickin' annoying, too. Especially the morons they have giving testamonials.

That almost seems like something PETA would do.
Shit. I can't think of a good signature.

This commercial does NOT bug me. I crack up every time I see it. It's the Verizon "Bad Idea" commercial with the guys on the basketball court. The guy saying "You know what saves gas money? My kids hitchhiking to school.." cracks me up. Every time.

Its a ripoff of an old SNL skit from the Spade, Nealon, Rock, etc days called "Bad Idea Jeans".

Is it just me, or is there something about the super-flamin' Secret Service guy singing about Stanley Steemer around 0:15 in this video that seems more obscene than anything we could come up with?

The Jingos commercial(s).

I detest commercials where they just scream the name of the product over and over. Assholes.

I just saw a commercial for some sort of colon cleansing product called, no shit, "Colon Flow."

I can't help but wonder if they even considered that it sounds an awful like a classic fake commercial from SNL. Because it would take over two-and-a-half million bowls of your oat bran cereal to equal the fiber content of one bowl of Super Colon Blow. :lol:

So I didn't order their stuff, and now I'm just sad that we must live in a world with no Phil Hartmann. :cry:

By the way, Abraham, if I put a nickel in the slot, will you pick your nose?

There was a Dudley Moore movie called "Crazy People". He works for an advertising company and ends up in a looney bin. Somehow while he is in there, he is still working. He manages to get some of the other people to help him write the ads. There were some pretty good lines.

"Metamucil: It helps you go to the toilet. If you don't use it, you'll get cancer and die."
"Porsche. It's a little too small to get laid IN, but you get laid the minute you get out!"
"Paramount Pictures presents 'The Freak.' This movie won't just scare you, it will fuck you up for life."

Anyway, it sounds like advertisers may have turned to the insane for making commercials.
