I can't stand when you get PM'd about your profile and what someone doesn't like about it. And, then get told about how hard their current situation is and about how you are a jerk. Cherry on top is that you have NEVER talked to this person.
Grrr! I will not rest until you take any mention of Eddie Murray out of your profile!

The one in heavy rotation with the little girl singing "My Country Tis of Thee"....
...nothing wrong with the sentiment, but the obvious cuteness factor and the endless repetition makes this my least favorite since the old "Hail to the Chief" car ads a few months back.... ACK! As Witchy said, 4th of July can't get here soon enough.
I think it's the cheesiest, lamest attempt at provoking an "awwww" response. No little kid knows the lyrics to My Country Tis of Thee anymore. I laugh whenever she says "liborty."
I really wish advertising agencies would stop trying to use the "our product = America" exploitation method. It's an insult to America.

seeing as i don't drink this is the closest i'll get to posting in this thread again
i had surgery a couple days ago and all i can say is painkillers
i'm gonna go find some crazy music so i have weird dreams

Wha huh? What happened? Please tell me you didn't get a nose job.
Ha, no, but it would've been nice to size down my big Jew nose. I had a severely bad deviated septum that made it so I couldn't breathe through my left nostril.
It's not that bad(if you have painkillers... and you're not trying to sleep), but there's a whole lot of blood.
-
I had surgery on my nose yesterday. Waking up every single half-hour because I have to sleep upright gets my goat. And my painkillers are downstairs, where my dad's sleeping. Sigh.

The Caveman ad campaign, despite the sitcom, is one of the only really good series I've seen in the past few years. I hate commercials with burning passion, but those commercials are so oddly naturalistic, they're great.
On that note, a rare commercial I enjoy-- the Comcast commercial with Zach Galifinakis. Even though it's a Comcast commercial cross advertising with Spiderman(almost guaranteed to be obnoxious), Galifinakis' delivery of "That means you got the apartment!!" has me cracking up every time.

I hate the ING commercials on MASN. They're just... unbelievably snotty.
First commercial: Money is the root of all happiness! Do not try to find it elsewhere! (sidenote: who the hell does yoga as a spiritual thing anymore? And why is the yoga instructor spouting existentialist theory? Oh that's right! Because all spiritual/philisophical ideas or customs are the same to ING: complete wastes of time. You know what isn't a complete waste of time? Having nice cars!)
Second commercial: You're spending your money somewhere? BLASPHEMY! That is a joke! A joke among jokes! You must never spend money, even though it is the root of all happiness. You must invest it and never spend it until you die. Okay, maybe it isn't a complete waste of money to buy food and clothing for your family, but that's all you get! You materialist ass.

Wasn't that Tom Hanks in that one?
Not to argue - it's not a holiday classic in my mind either.
Whoops, that's what I meant. Apologies to Hanks...

In the same vein as the Santa Clause commercials, I just watched a commercial on ABC Family(or Fox or whatever family it is now)(The Rookie is on) in which they call The Polar Express, the Tom Cruise-voiced creepy-thon CGI movie, a "holiday classic." Riiiight...
-
What's worse' date=' 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..."?[/quote']
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...
...
...
hip, and I go through the alarms and everyone's like what..."
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.
The new Chevy commercials with the John Mellencamp song is intolerable. That song has been stuck in my head for a day now.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.
If it's not out of your head yet:

As a professional commercial-hater(only things I hate more than bugs) I must say, every Taco Bell commercial since the talking dog has essentially been the worst commercial at that time, each new one defeating the last.
"You just have to lift up their little togas!"
You just have to STFU, nonsensical clowns. The toga thing in general was the absolute dumbest ad campaign.
Until the "good to go--- get a job!" commercials came about. What the hell? What is with this recent advertising wave of sticking in completely unrelated storylines into commercials that aren't even funny or worthwhile? What does the "grad home from college rooming with mom and dad" scenario have to do at ALL for the sale of tacos? The worst part of that commercial was one of the opening lines: "Hey son(sic), remember when you asked me to spice up your meals?" Who in their right mind would ask something so stupid and unlikely to their parents? I can't imagine anyone on this planet ever asking anyone but, I dunno, a Taco Bell employee that question. I wonder why the parents expect him to get a job and move out when they act like his personal fast food slave. Don't try to stick an unrelated story into your commercials if they don't even make sense.
And then the clown commercials, another big WTF campaign. I want to know who is actually writing, pitching, and greenlighting these terrible nonsense commercials. Especially when the entire basis of the commercial is the idea that "Crunchy = fun!" What? I have never in my life heard a single adult(or child for that matter) refer to crunchy food as "fun"... or any food for that matter. Nor have I ever had the desire to compare food to the "fun" of a clown. Not even gonna get into the actual aspect of the idiot in the clownsuit, it kind of speaks for itself(well, not really).
One of the most aggravating factors in bad commercial-production is when the people pitching and writing the ad have a false idea of what they're selling. So they end up doing the "This burrito is SO FUN!!!" thing and have characters in a commercials FREAKING OUT about how great a fast food product is. "OH MY SWEET HEAVENS, WENDY'S IS SELLING A 99 CENT BURGER!!!" Do they really think their viewers will watch other imbeciles freak out and get the idea that it's really that important? It seems really pathetic and quite embarrassing for the comedic geniuses who write the commercials.
Rant complete. Phew.
