Those KGB commercials...just the idea is stupid. 99 cents for the answer to a question or Google for free, decisions decisions.
I live in Utah, so I practically live in those commercials. Anyways, radio ads are some of the worst. Since they don't have visuals, they make up for it by repeating prices or phone numbers like 10 times in a row. I heard you the first time, dammit! And then the local car dealerships that spoof pop songs or even TV theme songs (like Spongebob, WTF?)- just awful. As for TV ads... Enzyte is definitely awful.
At the moment, a Master's flavoured milk ad here in Australia where two workers, whilst drinking the stuff, burp out a symphony - gross, just horrible and if you have ever smelt a chocolate/coffee milk flavoured burp, that comes to mind every bloody time I see this whopping stupid ad. At least it was funny in Animaniacs: YouTube - Blue danube
I've personally always hated those Gieco Caveman ads. They're starting to get down right depressing at this point. And those morbid Skittles ads. The latest one being the guy who's slowly dieing because his jackass of a friend is eating skittles from his hourglass, causeing him to age rapidly. Oh yeah, that makes me want to buy some candy.
those damn spray n wash commercials. that guy is a freakin pedo. how the hell does he get inside their houses? where the hell does he come from? he like goes up to a random person with a kid and says "hey shes cute and dirty cuz she be on the carpet." if i was her i would be creeped out not happy.
Bulls**t "Limited Time" and Amish fake fireplace ads Every year around the holidays I start seeing these "limited time" offers for some fake collectors crap that has been siiting in a warehouse for 10 years and and the company selling it tries to convince the public if they dont buy it now,it will never be available again yet the next year,its advertised again and the other one is for the Amish-made fake fireplace which defies all logic:how in the hell are Amish workers going to use power tools and machinery if they have no electricity?
there is a local one for a jeweler (I'm guessing KidDynamite has heard it) called Krukemeyer and Cohn. The Guy who does it has a bit of a speech impediment that slurs his words. He sounds like he is drunk.
Am I the only one who wishes are commercials were more like the odder Japanese ones?: YouTube - ???????????????????????????????? OK, that gets annoying after a while, but still...
OK. Now I'm pissed today. That is the epitome of 80's movie theme songs. Now, if they butcher Huey Lewis's Back in Time, I know who I'm definitely calling... ... an assasin.
Those damn anti smoking commercials that show in graphic detail the damage they do. The throat holes, the amputations, and the crap gooping up your insides. I really doubt in this day and age that there are smokers out there unaware of the fact that smoking is bad for you. They arent informing anyone and they just gross me out. I have to change the channel everytime one comes on. I smoked for 10 years before quitting 10 months ago, those commercials didnt want to make me quit, just change the channel.
My list: That KY stuff- where they have the Prude couple talking about schedules, then POOF! they both are in bed, just got laid. The Cheers commercial with that weird wash lady Taxmasters Mesothelioma, Cancer, Insert Drug and or Surgery Here ads. I would love to make a lawyer ad and air it all day long. "Were you recently born and nobody told you that Death was inevitable? You may have a case and we can help you...." Altell commercials That stupid, in denial Saturn commercial Those Hoverround/power scooter/Jitterbug/Liberty Medical ads and about Bob- he's getting lucky more than you in a week. (still hate his sorry ass, but facts are facts.)
I really hate advertisements that act like artificially increasing demand for their product is doing you a huge favor. Disney is a huge offender here. How many times have you heard the words, "Newly released from the Disney vault, and available only for a limited time"? Can't they just release Snow White not for a limited time? How "limited" are these Disney limited editions anyway? I've never actually tested how "limited" these Disney limited-edition releases are, but it seems like Disney cranks them out at the same volume and duration as any other company releasing any other product. Can't they just say, "Newly-restored and now available on Blu-Ray"? Is that so hard? It just annoys me that Disney acts like it's doing us a big favor by letting us purchase their new product only for a limited time. The same principle applies to advertisement practices. It's deathly obvious that many, many, MANY movies/comic books/TV series release inferior products at first, and that they purposefully withhold the good stuff for a double dip. Nobody's being fooled, and this is a standard practice. But it annoys me even further when the re-release is being advertised as doing us a big favor. "Newly-discovered deleted scenes?" Really? It would be less of an insult to our intelligence if the ad just stated that the new version contains "more deleted scenes" or something, but it's just insulting when the studios act like releasing the product they should have released the first time is doing us a huge favor.
