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

commercials that bug you

Post by Zaphod »

one that bugs me is that one for a cruise line where its the woman filming her daughter like its a nature show and she's looking for an endangered species and it turns out its the daughter smiling. and the daughter is like twelve, maybe as old as fourteen but no more. and when she is smiling she's flirting with a twentyish jetski instructor. what the fuck, lady? it's one thing for the jetski instructor to want to bang this girl since they're probably in some banana republic where sex with minors is ok and even encouraged, fuck, she's sprouted little boobs already. but for the lady to seem thrilled at the idea of her daughter applying her new found jetski riding knowledge to riding this adult seems a little bit wrong to me. would she tape her own daughter fucking some random grownup like bunnies just to have a record of how happy her daughter was when she got her first money shot in the face?

Geico's 3 different ad campaigns are annoying, The Caveman, The Gecko, and the kid who wants to kick that nascar driver's ass.

The caveman commercials don't even make any sense anymore. I don't even bother to try to figure out what's going on with those.

I've never seen that Quizno's commercial. It's funny, but it could get old quick. Like the ones they had with dead rats, or those with the talking baby. I hate talking babies. Something about that disturbs me. Speaking of which, the fucking eTrade commercial where the baby is not only talking, but vomits. That commercial has to be prohibited in the Constitution somewhere. Or at least in the Bible.

The ShamWow commercials are so weird, I'm not quite sure they count as "annoying." They're just strange.

The Carnival Cruise one (I think that's who does it) I've tuned out and never thought of that way. But you're kinda right. Plus, it's playing "Lust for Life." Families don't listen to "Lust for Life" on cruises. College kids play "Lust for Life" while they're getting blasted and fucking random people at frat parties. Kinda adds to the sick pedophilia aspect, don't you think?

This was brought to my attention by a friend.

This is a classic, too. What moves!
Shit. I can't think of a good signature.

I HATE the freecreditreport.com commercials where the douchebag is always singing some retarded ass song.

I just figured those didn't qualify as "bugging" me, so much as "inducing me to want to commit murder."

You can even do it there, since they have seating free of charge.
