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

Seeing ads for various computer/laptops/tablets that show their versatility for work and play. "it's a laptop!" Flip. "It's a tablet!" Flip. "The screen/keyboard detaches!"
You know the commercials I mean.


I think it'd be hilarious if the average guy giving the testimonial starts going on about how much porn he watches and his laptop/tablet is great for any situation where he needs to spank it.

The Gieco Gecko is getting more and more annoying with each new commercial. The current one has him in the middle of the street in Bristol going back and forth between Tennessee and Virginia. There has to be an alternative ending to that commercial where he gets ran over by a redneck driving a Ford Pick-up lifted with monster tires.

That stupid box from the Progressive ad must also die.

There is a Pelaton commercial where the trainer is yelling "They can't stop you! They can't break you!" Who is trying to stop and/or break someone from riding an stationary bike?

The only ads I see are on youtube & I'm able to skip them after the first 5 or 10 seconds. Haven't seen an ad on television in I can't say how long. Life is weird these days.

There was an ad for dirtygal on Hulu the other night and about halfway thru it, my GF says “What are they selling exactly?” and I yelled “OHmigod get out of my head!” because I was thinking the same thing.
