That commercial is so bad that if you even THINK you've seen it, we're in the same city...there's no mistaking that commercial.
I just checked your email addy, if the headquarters of Fred Smith's plantation (that's what I call it http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif ) is in your city also, then we are definately in the same city. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

Someone else in Boston?!?!

Those furniture ads are wild. I thought the same thing when I heard the oooh ahhh. The ads are all SO corny. I wonder why ALL furniture ads have to be so corny. No matter what part of the country they are from, the commercial is corny.

BTW, Speaking of ads, What do you guys think about Radio ads? THey have got to be THE worst.

I know EXACTLY what you're talking about!!!!!!!! I hate that commercial. My question is why do all of the bootleg/ghetto/lawyer commercials come on in the middle of the day?

North Carolina--but there is another car dealership who uses "we're dealin!" I can't think of there name right now though

*someday...if it's in God's will*

Ok I have another bad commercial. My hometown peeps will know exactly what I'm talking about. There is a small church that advertises their Sunday morning services. Well I guess they decided to pick one of the Rev.'s better sermons and it goes like this:

"Get dope out yo vain and hope in yo brain. You'll neva get nowhere, smoking the pipe...neva. You want to get your lesson out you wanna be smart in school, get rid of the drugs."

Continuing the commercial:

"Get away from the "in" crowd, Get a close to God."

That commercial is so tired. It has been running forever. I know they have other sermons they can advertise to get people to come by their church.

I see those Reconnex ads they are so annoying. I mean if you can pay $50 to get your phone turned on..how about you pay the bill. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/mad.gif I love daytime tv so i hate the malpractice commercials...they drive me crazy

Director--
I thought I was the only one who knew about that 1-800-GO-YAFFA commercial! Her voice grates away at my nerves like fingernails on a chalkboard!!! That commercial definitely ranks #1 on my list!

I also hate the one where the man is fighting a sandwich out of his dog's mouth, then he eats it! GROSS!!!

I first saw this commercial at about 2:30 in the morning with a bunch of my buddies. We were ROFL when we saw it. It was SO ridiculous. We still crack up when we see it now. Its like these people do not watch the commercials they make before they air them.

Okay here in Atlanta, there is a black-owned chain of barbeque and seafood restaurants called 'This Is It'. They have pretty decent food might I add. However, there is a commercial that currently airs, which includes a DJ from the largest Black radio station here, and it shows a woman who is stressed out at work. The DJ is saying something along the lines of you don't have to worry about dinner after a stressful day because This Is It will help. Well after going through all this, it ends with the owners of the chain saying, "We got 'cho mama's back". I can't stand it http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/mad.gif !!

They have a commercial here in Chicago for the law offices of Eric A. Martin and one of his first ones show a man being chased doen the street by a bulldozer ( the bulldozer signifying debt) and after running for a while Mr. Martin comes out holding up a big bible looking book entitled "The Law" and the steamroller backs off. Little do the public know this same lawyer got in trouble a little while ago for some wrongdoing. He has many more and they are all equally cheesy. When I hear his theme song " Like a breath of fresh air, Eric A. Martin & Assocs. I turn the channel.

The Commercials Nikki Goes, "Whatever" at:

1. The Mentos commericials
2. The Old Navy commercials
3. The instant dinner commercials featuring Salley Jessie Raphael, Mr. T., Mr. Miagi, and Little Richard
4. The Burger King and Sprite commercials with the D.G.


Why don't I like these commercials? Because they are void of creativity. I can't stand #4 because the urban target just screams at you...why not choose a different a more creative approach?

I just thought of another commercial that I absolutely cannot stand (it's up there with the Mentos commercials)

I do not like those Apple Jacks commercials: "We Eat What We Like". Everytime I see those commercials, my skin crawls. I have yet to figure out what gets under my skin when those Apple Jacks commercials come on.

oh LAWD I am so ashamed!

I am in a very ghetto commercial here is how it goes:

Our black DJ D Ross and me are in the commercial he says to me:

D Ross: BOO! YO HAIR IS PHAT!
me: I got my hair did at wig it braids and accessories! They have zury(I then list all the hair weaves they have)

D Ross: BOO! I'M TELL YOU YOUR HAIR IS PHAT! AND ALL THAT!

Dang I was typing to fast, I didn't finish!

Anyway, D ross says to me:


BOO YOUR HAIR IS PHAT, AND ALL THAT!

Me: FO SHO! Wig it braids HOOKED ME UP! and if you don't have all the money to get your hair done, they work with cha! Wig it braids and accessories!


ROFL! I AM SO ASHAMED! ME AND D ROSS WAS ROLLINNN THE WHOLE TIME WE DID IT!


QTE

it's ok Soror. the first step to recovery is realizing there's a problem & that you need help. we're here for you! LOL

Okay, just 2 more...

1. That stupid Oreo commercial where the mom tells the little boy to go to bed. He keeps eating the cookies and she keeps telling him: "I'm serious" and "I mean it" and "I'm counting to 10", etc. My mom would NEVER have had to tell me twice, and IF she did(God forbid)... I would have been crying myself to sleep with a swollen behind!

2. That Dodge Neon car commercial where the black man and the black woman are in a bar comparing their Neons. WTF?!?!? Never get your mack on by bragging on your Dodge NEON! Get real!

And I'm Out!

Good morning ladies and gents

I think the worst television commercial I have seen recently was for a Ricki Lake show. The commercial starts with two white women standing in front of two upstairs apartments of what appears to be a run down motel. The two ladies are dressed in flowered house dresses, rollers, and head rags. They are smoking and drinking and laughing. Their lines go something like this . . . "Gurl, did you see so and so?" "I don't believe she had the nerve to blah blah blah" Well, the title of this Ricki Lake show is "White Women that Act Black". Now, why I don't like this commercial . . . excuse this, but it has pissed me off . . . What in the hell makes Ricki Lake think these women are "acting" black instead of just acting like trailer trash?! I am extremely offended by this commercial and I am no longer watching anything that supports Ricki Lake.
Just my two cents.
Patiently learning
and
Learning patience

See, thats why I'm majoring in Marketing, I'm gonna rid the world of ghetto-mercials!

The Commercial that I think is the dumbest is the Jeep Cherokee commercial where they guy ties a rock to the front of his jeep as "bait," like a carrot in front of a donkey.

That is just plain wack ... period.

ROOOOOOOO

I can't stand that commercial either. I know what gets under your skin! And when I'm watching it with my kids I look at them and say "no when you get a job and buy your own groceries THEN you eat what you like"

BlueReign,
You're right!!! That's exactly what gets under my skin. It seems like the kids have too much authority. How are they going to tell their parents what they like when they aren't buying any groceries??!!!

LOL! Can you say G_H_E_T_T_O?
I hate that commercial...

OKAY everyone....now I know I am not the only one who watches BET...how about that commercial that BET plays about 80 times in two hours talking about..."Crazy College girls...video not available in stores...order now...see them do outrageous things...even at Mardi Gras (flashing their breasts on the screen)...girls girls girls..."

I DETEST THIS COMMERCIAL WITH A PASSION...AND BET, BY REPEATING OVER AND OVER, IT DOESN'T MAKE IT ANY BETTER!!!!

lol

*someday...if it's in God's will*

and you notice what color they all are...


LOL it's all love! all I wanna know is do they have to get the girls permission before they sell a tape like that?

I would have to add that beer commercial where everyone is falling like dominos throughout the city.

OH MY GOODNESSS I just saw that commercial a few minutes ago...I was like WHAT THE...? It takes sooooo incredibly long to get to the (what was supposed to be a) punch line.

:mad:

Something irks me about that commercial with the black woman who was so constipated that she couldn't drive a bus.
I think it was an exlax commericial. It always seem like they only choose a certain type of person to do laxative commercials...if you know what a I mean. :rolleyes:

how about every commercial that uses "fo shizzle" or any variant. damn snoop!

and what about the new aol 9. commerical and he comes out of nowhere saying, "wait a mizzle!"

all commercials with snoop piss me off. he needs to get a job like every else.

(this next one may be a regional one-nyc area)

another commercial thats horrible is the ones for goledn krust, with tiki barber advertising their food. and some white couple in the background are like, "isnt that tiki barber?"

like tiki barber is really gonna be in a golden krust.

theres one on bet late at nite with ron jeremy and two nasty lokin chicks advertising some sex pills...its horrible.

lmao! i feel you. and why are them joints 2 for $10? i mean damn. a cd costs more than that. its a damn shame. and the guy who runs girls gone wild is 23 y/o white guy and worth millions of dollars. aint that somethin?

Now WHY did I see that commercial LAST NIGHT...I was like :eek: :eek: because I couldn't believe what I was hearing.. (had my back turned to the tv at first)now that commercial is JUST.PLAIN.NASTY:eek: :eek:

I cannot STAND the commercial about ebay where that chubby, black man is singing about ebay in the melody of the song 'broadway'. He's jumping all around and everywhere he jumps, his 'boobs' follow. I always want him to stop JUMPIN ALREADY!! At first, the commercial had me cracking up, but I look at it now and I'm like "Could someone please tell that man to quit jumpin?!!!"

I HATE that! I agree, the commercial was funny at first, but you get tired of seeing the man jiggle all over the place! :eek:

I saw the commercial yesterday, and I saw his manbreasts jiggling all over the place. Now, I can't watch it anymore.

corny ass CD compilation commercials
 

i was watching the i love 80's series (once again), and why was almost every commercial advertising a compilation CD? most of the time they are advertising the NOW thats what i call music CD's, but this night, they were advertising some CD called "thug joints" or something, and the announcer is this wonder bread white sounding announcer saying these stereotypical phrases like, "call today, and get it crunk in your living room!" and other stupid shit.

and theres another CD that has all the "old school" hip hop joints, but theyre all from the early 90s. that is NOT old school! how you consider "hip hop hurray", "bump and grind" , "funkdafied", and "im goin down" old school?

fall back!

someone let me know...


but lets talk about commercials we like. my favorites are the geico ads...those have me dying! and theres this old one for snickers where the guy is airbrushing the field for the KC Chiefs, and some player comes up and says, "thats great, but who's the chefs?" classic!

I'm still on the worst commercials..this was my first time seeing it today and I was like how gross..it was for the Tampax Pearls where the lady and man were in the leaky boat and she actually pulls a tampon out of her purse and plugs the boat up..shows the string and everything..to me that is so disgusting..

Now that I think about it all the Tampax Pearls commercials are disgusting..hanging a pad down the window (the one were she just so happens to drop her tampon on the bush) and who would actually were all white at a time like that..

GIRRRRRRRRRRLLLLL!!! We must have seen the commercial at the same time because I was on my way to this thread! That commercial should be pulled from the air IMMEDIATELY!!! :mad: :mad:

To be honest, I don't think that there should even be pad and tampon commercials. They should be regulated just like cigarette commercials. We all know that we need them. No need to advertise how they are used, etc.

i saw it too and thought i was so nasty. i've never seen a feminine product commercial where they actually showed the product being out of its wrapper. DISGUSTING!!!!!!

i also hate those herbal essence commercials where the women are always sounding like they are having orgasms because the shampoo is just so good. HOW GOUSH!!!!

I had only seen this commercial once before I started reading posts about it. I thought it was kind of cute, but I didn't see where she actually plugs it in the boat. I just saw where she takes it out of the box, and then they were sitting in the boat. Well, when it came on again I made sure not to turn my head. :eek: I can't believe they showed that much. What I saw would have been good enough for the commercial, because even though I didn't actually see her plug it in I still got the point. But I do find it strange that a woman would walk around with a box of tampons in her purse.:confused:

I will have to defend the commercials about the CD compilations... The one with, "I'm going down," "Your body's calling," "Die without you," and all those other songs, made me remember a few songs I needed to download and make into a CD.

Re: corny ass CD compilation commercials
 

There's also one called "The Down Low". Why, why, why do they have Bone Thugs "Crossroads" on there?? That is not a song that you put on to get in the mood.:rolleyes:
