New most hated Commercial

[13alOrioles]

The worst commercials are the local lawyer commercials, hands down. A few years back one of our local personal injury lawyers was all fired up in his commercial, had gun footage from planes dropping bombs in the background.

Ever notice how between Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, Nissan and Toyota they all have the longest lasting trucks on the road? Each just has a different way of saying it.

I can't remember which company it was but there was a commercial on at the beginning of the college football season. It followed these kids around their school during the day and they couldn't answer any questions in their classes, were just completly dumfounded. Then they show them on the football field that night, dominate, and say that football is everything.

Any commercial where you can hear someone eatting. That drives me nuts listening to someone eatting or chewing ice, just incase you guys ever want to torture me.

I was listening to WFAN during the Mets - Cardinals game and a commercial came on. It was one of those male enhancement commercials, the slogan was something like "take today, preform tonight."

Hardees commercials usually are just dead awful. They outta do the world a favor, show their burger calories and grams of fat on their commercials and put themselves out of buisness.

Ok.... already tired of the relatively new Jay-Z commercials...

If I tell you what I got, will you shut up already? Geez.

2 have been bothering the **** out of me.

1. DLP technologies with the little girl and the elephant, "it's amazing, it's the mirrors." I just want Ray Ray to come out of nowhere and crush the little red head mid sentence. What the hell does she know anyway? Why is she smugly lecturing adults? She probably can't even read yet but somehow understands the science behind high definition television? Bull****!

2. "This is oouuurrrr country!" Maybe it's because I hate country music but that stupid, wanna be patriotic montage makes me want to punch a wall. Oh yea, why am I supposed to buy a Silverado again? Because I'm American? I will never purchase a Silverado just because of that commercial.

If you don't consume, you aren't an American. Go back to France, you tree-hugging communist.

Which ones, the HP notebook ones, or the ones where he's rapping (I think it's Budweiser)?

I have many varied reactions to these ads.

On one hand, I think Jay-Z was (is?) a great rapper, and I fear that this exposure, plus his inevitable "comeback album" (right, his "retirement" wasn't a publicity stunt, no, not at all ) will spell the end of Jay as a worthwhile artist.

I also find it deliciously subversive that Average White People throughout the land get to watch commercials featuring a former crack dealer. God knows, white collar criminals have been on commercials for years, so it's only fair that the double-standard be lifted. Plus, something tells me he hasn't been hanging out on the corner too much recently - too busy with Beyonce. Statute of limitations, y'know?

It's just funny to imagine some middle-aged housewife in Oklahoma going, "Oh, honey, who's that rap guy on those commercials? Jay-Cee? Is that it? I really like that song!"

Then "Moment of Clarity" pops into your head:

"Pop died, didn't cry, didn't know him that well
With him doin' heroin and me doin' crack sales."

Only in America!

That song needs to un-write itself. Immediately.

I can't stand the WebMD commercials. I know its only a 30 second commercial, but it seems like it goes on forever to me.

[Cornbread]

I hate the new Honda Ridgeline commericals. It must have came on every break during the Ga Tech/Clemson game. It's The one with the trucks all in one big herd and at the end you see the dog riding in one of the trucks. Aren't those some ugly trucks?

I'm a bit late, but I find the Jon Lovitz Subway commercials absolutely hilarious. I've been screaming "Eat the sandwich!" in that hilarious accent all week. Bush's shrug is awesome too. And the Lil' Jon one cracks me up as well.

Anything beats Jared, but I really found these two to be the funniest on TV right now.

What's worse, the fact that they're making a Santa Clause 3, or the fact that the commercials are proclaiming it "one of the greatest holiday trilogies of all time!" Um, not hard to be, since I couldn't think of a single other "holiday trilogy" to save my life.

And how has this thread been going on this long without a mention of "I cracked open my head here, here, and here..."?

[Pedro Cerrano]

The new Chevy commercials with the John Mellencamp song is intolerable. That song has been stuck in my head for a day now.

I was thinking the same exact thing with the Santa Clause commercials. Also, the incredibly stupid subtitle: 'The Escape Clause'? What? Is that supposed to be funny to anyone?

Yeah, and the cracked-head one... I would name it by the company who's advertising with it, but I really have no recollection of what they're selling. I've seen the commercial a million times, watching through the terribly awkward and non-sensical monologuing and I still have no idea what's going on. First there's a bunch of people talking about random injuries, and then there's this old lady talking about SOMETHING, I can't really figure it out cause it just comes out like gibberish, something about "if you're gonna RAIL against it..." The entire old lady monologue sounded like the writers wrote something cohesive and sensible and then got out the Crazy Thesaurus and re-wrote every word. Or maybe it's the fact that it's a COMMERCIAL and no one watching cares enough to listen to every word some terrible actress says.
And don't get me started on the pure weirdness of "I have a titanium...

It's like he read a book called "How to Unintentionally Mistake Realistic Acting With Complete Awkward Trash," conveniently located on the shelf next to the Crazy Thesaurus.

I can't believe the song is what people are complaining about... how about the exploitation of King Jr. AND Rosa Parks in the same commercial? Meant for the sale of TRUCKS? And to make it appear so they're not just playing to White America? Next to a clip of NASCAR... which is right next to a clip of the fallen towers?
This is the stuff that pure satire is made out of.

Those Chevy commercial are just flat out awful. I can not beleive that they don't atleast mix up their ads with different songs or something. It has to be the most played commercial during the World Series.

Then they had him sing the darn song live before game two of the World Series.

In the interest of full disclosure, here are the full, unedited lyrics to that song:

I can stand beside
Things I think are right
And I can stand beside
The idea of stand and fight
And I do believe
There’s a dream for everyone
This is our country
From the east coast
To the west coast
Down the Dixie Highway
Back home
This is our country

There's room enough here
For science to live
And there's room enough here
For religion to forgive
And try to understand
The other people of this world
This is our country
From the east coast
To the west coast
Down the Dixie Highway
Back home
This is our country

That poverty could be
Just another ugly thing
And bigotry could be
Seen only as obscene
And the ones that run this land
Will help the poor and common man
This is our country
From the east coast
To the west coast
Down the Dixie Highway
Back home
This is our country

The dream will never leave
And some day it will come true
And it’s up to me and you
To do the best that we can do
And let the voice of freedom
Sing out through this land
This is our country
From the east coast
To the west coast
Down the Dixie Highway
Back home
This is our country

Pretty lame song, even though Mellencamp's a political progressive, and I have respect for some things he's done. Why do protest songs these days have to be so lame? Neil Young wrote "Ohio" in like 20 minutes - come on!

This begs the question, though: Why did he sell this song to Chevy, in the process allowing it to be neutered even more than it already was?

Anyway, a bad song, and an even worse commercial.

Indeed it is...I change the channel everytime it comes it. The fact that we're using Rosa Parks,MLK, and 9/11 to sell Chevys is disgraceful. The song makes my skin crawl. Then it was played before Game 3. I can't escape it.
