Why, God, why did these commercials get made?

Finally saw the new Aflac commercial.

On behalf of the state of Minnesota, I wish to apoloize for giving that damn duck a new voice. (Yes...the new voicer is from my home state.)

So Minnesota's so small that you all know each other?

It is a fly-over state.

Have anybody ales seen the commercial with this little brat selling her dad's golf clubs, and watch to a pawn shop. Since, he steal some of her mac n cheese during dinner. I will never get why people keep making commercials with little unlikeable brats in them.They aren't really cute to.

The worst is those commercials that advertise Greek shit. No one wants to buy that.

You know, just to get back at you for that idiotic comment I think I'll invite the entire population of Greece to join this board. (Or at least as many as I can get e-mail addresses for.)

Nooo, I don't want Greeks here

But unfortunately you are the biggest Greek of them all

I thought the greeks came out at night?

Or possibly the freaks.

Greeks are freaks

J.D Wentworth commercials should be banned. The singing is fake and the song just annoys me. I have to change the channel whenever one comes on.

There's a commercial I'm thinking of that's for hydro power or something, and all it is is footage of a 7-8 year old girl in what I might remember being a white bikini (please god I hope I'm remembering incorrectly), playing in the surf at the beach with a voiceover. The video has absolutely nothing to do with what they're advertising/promoting, aside from both being about water, and the way the girl is tumbling around in the waves was really, really creepy. I've been trying to find the ad on youtube for some months now, but no go. I don't remember what the organization/company was.

I just saw a commercial for Align probiotic that seems...familiar.

It shows a person with poor digestive balaced...being portrayed as a person leaning to one side as if doing that one move in Smooth Criminal the wrong way. They even walk while doing that lean.

*on phone* Hello...makers of V-8? I think Align just stole your schtick...

Pudding face.

Because nothing says "Our pudding is delicious! Buy some!" like a monstrosity from the uncanny valley.

Heh..."Pudding Face" Dad looks like an extra from the video for the song "Black Hole Sun".

Fu-u-u-u-uck... That's supposed to encourage people to buy, is it? And I thought some of our adverts were bloody awful! [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Douche ads that must be seen to be believed.

Talking hands with stereotypical accents ("sassy black handgina", "ditzy white handgina", "Latina handgina", etc) that form your "vertical smile" and say "HELLLLOOOO FROM VAGINA-LAND".

I'm not kidding.

That big robot compilation pic I posted a while back prompted a friend and I to have an evening of nostalgia looking up the old morning children's shows and cartoons we used to watch.

This clip of the Wide Awake Club contained a few mins of Mask, a precursor of the X-Factor and finally a selection of adverts, starting at 6.00, (including one for the Transformers Movie).

The one I want to bring to your attention starts at 6.40. It seems to start innocently enough, with an 80's housewife telling us how brilliant her new toaster is... well, just wait till the end...



WOW!

Taco Bell seems to make it their mission to have the most annoying ads in the history of mankind. they had one for a while that used a "lounge act" (played by a comedian I actually enjoy) singing about how their new burritos had FOUR TIMES THE STEEEEEEEEEEEAK FOUR TIMES THE JUICY SUCK-YOU-LENT STEAK

I saw it every. goddamn. commercial break.

TuneUp! You got what I neee-eeed!

Seriously, this is an awful commercial, but I love it. AUTOMAGICALLY!.

Nine pages and no mention of this bastard?



You think that's bad? About five more have been released and I heard they have a further 20 in the pipeline.

For unknown reasons, the thing that annoys me most about these adverts is rhyming "go to" with "motor". It's just not right.

Spoiler:

Stepping into the douchebag persona for a short time (Because women never like a thin core of meat byproducts surrounded by artificial colorings and flavors), isn't putting your hands that close to a womans crotch (An attractive woman, no less) a good thing? Especially when you're a rat-faced loser.

Spoiler:

Just everything about this kid pisses me off. From the hair to the outfit to the voice. I can't imagine any normal parent saying "Yes, Strange fluffy child, I realize my car is dorky and that I am destroying my child by continuing to use it. I shall make amends immediatly. I'll just give up eating because our family doesn't have the budget for a new car."
