There is a commercial that plays around the Harrisburg, PA area (EagleChick, you'll probably know which one I'm talking about) for a Hoffman Ford dealership with these two little kids. They talk about getting you a good deal on a car and if you don't your "supposed" to call the little kid- Call me, Ryan he says. I swear these kids have been doing these commercials since birth-soooooo annoying!

Has anyone seen the latest Saturn commercial? It starts by playing some freaky music and then they show a picture of roads, traffic situations, the interstate, etc. And instead of cars driving, it shows people walking---but they are acting like they are in cars....all while the freaky music is still playing. It's hard to describe. Anyway, at the end it shows 3 new models of Saturn. It's just WEIRD!!!

I agree with what someone said earlier about Snuggles. He used to be a cute bear and now that the Porupine is around, he turned all cocky and arrogant. I want to ring his little neck!!!
Ok, this just bugs me--why are their woman in all the cleaning commericals?? Especially pledge, they show women with the new mit that catches dust better. DON"T MEN DUST???? or clean? Orange clean actually shows a man cleaning, so I really want to buy that stuff now that I saw that. I just can't stand seeing all these woman home cleaning up after everyone. Show something that will make woman happy--men cleaning the house !!!

is anyone sick of the sally ride commercial??? I think its a commercial for office depot. They play it during eevry commercial break. If you didnt know she was the first astronaut in space well you know it now.

The latest commercial to freak me out is a Verizon one...
It shows some guy doing a stare down with a ferrit and then he sticks out his tounge and the ferrit attacks it and is making some hiddious noise as the guy wrestles to get it off of himself...
In the mean time he S.O.S's a buddy who as he's walking up the steps to the house the "Can you hear me now" man is walking by and the ferrit tounge boy is running out screaming...
JUST NOT COOL!

When i worked at Hollywood video, we had to play a tape on all the TVs in the store. It had previews, interviews.

But most of all, it had that annoying Hollywood Video commercial where that guy is talking the woman about how you can rent movies for five days, and he starts talking all fast hen he explodes, then his co worker goes "He's really into special effects."

That commecial played 22 frickin times on a one hour tape.

Oh I absoulutly LOVE that one!! The first time I saw it I was on the floor!

I also like the Mt. DEW commercial with the two guys in the car and the one guy goes back to the 24*7 for his DEW because he left it on top of the car. He flips the car over at top speed and snatches the can right out of that random dude that was going to drink it.

My other fav is the FOX sports network with the clay-mation[sp?] versions of James Brown, Terry Bradshaw, etc.(a la Lipton tea commercials)The setting is a backyard bar-b-q and mini-Teri Bradshaw goes up to this pretty blond woman to talk to her. He says something to her and this woman [a full size human] looks around to see who is talking to her and when she realizes it's this talking voo-doo size doll-man, she screams bloody murder but what made me fall on the floor laughing was when she full on kicked him across the yard like a football and he landed on the grill!!
Yeah it's twisted but funny as HE**!

Alot of the ones listed here I think are actually funny. The only ones I dont like are the corny ones like Old Navy Brady crap. Stupid.

And the TRUTH ones--I LOVE them. I don't smoke and I wish no one else did either.

DELTAQTE 09-15-2002 05:36 AM

Oh heck yes! I HATE the ferret one! What is the purpose??? it's just gross!!

I think the man dancing around in the joe boxer commerical is so stupid.

I agree with whoever said that snuggles is now cocky and he used to be all nice and say "it's snuggly soft!" now he leans on the box and just has a smirk on his face, WTF???Can I get some of my childhood back please???:D


Britney's pepsi commercials, what is the purpose?

I'm sorry, I appluad TRUTH and what they are trying to do, but some of those commericals would of gotten them beat down. The woman leaving the baby there and running off. I would of thought it was a bomb for real!

aggieAXO 09-15-2002 07:15 AM

Ha ha ha this commercial cracks me up for personal reasons-I was kissing a ferret at work (I was trying to distract it while technician was getting some vitals) and it attached itself onto my lip so I was running around the room with a ferret attached to my face trying to get it off. I had a huge fat lip for several days-I have to admit it was pretty funny :)

I know this thread is about ones you dont really like but I really like the Snickers commercials. The lifeguard at the beach is zoning out looking at the sea gulls flying aver his head and there is a guy drowning and calling for help. A young woman is at the base of the lifeguards high beach chair yelling at him to help the drowning man. Then we see a group of people form a human chain to go get the guy...The announcer comes on and says something to the effect of..."Hunger, don't let this happen to you".

Peaches-n-Cream 09-16-2002 02:00 AM

I like that Joe Boxer commercial with that cute guy dancing. :D

txdiva 09-16-2002 10:45 AM

Those Butterfinger commercials creep me out, especially when that guy pulls his false teeth out so that his wife can have a bite of his Butterfinger...GROSS! And the one at the movies...:eek: I hate seeing that girl with chocolate all around her mouth!

FHwku 09-20-2002 01:40 AM

i like the elevator commercials for a video game called Monkey Ball 2.

NinjaPoodle 09-24-2002 02:15 AM

The Steve Madden Shoe ads and commercials are nasty! The girls in them look warped and deformed! Yuck!

UFRushee05 09-24-2002 03:49 PM

I don't think anyone has said this...What about the Dial Soap commercial... Where this one sweaty gross dude comes over and uses the towel hanging outside the steam room and rubs it all over his sweaty body and then puts it back where it was hainging and then this other guy comes out of the steam room and is all clean and fresh and holds that old dirty towel up to his face is makes and "ahhh" so clean and refreshing noise!! "Dial...you're not as clean as you think!"

I CRINGE EVERYTIME!

Has anyone seen the commercial for the "REVO HAir Straightener" It's this brush that twirls in circles and supposebly striaghtens your hair! It is so CREEPY! All these women doing their freaky looking hair and the suddenly, they become these magical 80's styles. And how many of you actually style you hair smiling like that. Try it in front of the mirror and you'll see how ridiculous it feels. And this one lady like plants her face on this curling iron and it just makes me die laughing every time!

To add to that, most of the food commercials where any food prep is done, it's always done by a woman. Or any type of child illness, it's always the mom or the couple together who take care of the kid. Why can't it ever be just the man?

OMIGOD! You are so right! That is gross!!!

ADPi~Ally 09-24-2002 04:36 PM

Ok the is the old school anti smoking commerical....

It's where that old lady has the hole in her throat, and she sticks her ciggerette in there and takes a puff then blows it out. Then says this could happen to you.

That commerical seriously freaks and grosses me out. I turn my head everytime it came on, cuz I couldn't watch it. It gives me the hebbie jeebies.

DigitalAngel126 09-24-2002 05:25 PM

i'm not positive if it's dial, but there's another 'youre not as clean as you think' commercials.. .it shows a dog home alone, drinking out of the toilet, and then the lady that presumably lives there gets home and he runs down the stairs....ONLY TO LICK HER ON THE FACE :eek: :eek: :eek: yuck, and the worst part is, she's enjoying it...shes all like 'hey boy, hey buddy'..or whatever... its not like nauseating, but it made me made because now i feel like i should wash my dog's mouth out and brush her teeth if she ever wants to lick me!! YUCK!

chideltjen 09-24-2002 06:14 PM

maybe it's just me but the adds for juicy fruit gum have been kinda scary... in an evil amusement park character/barney way. It's that one with the giant fish walking around and there is some other girl and they sing that "caring is sharing" song and then when the fish steals the gum from the lady the lady decides it's appropriate to tackle the fish as it runs away. Perhaps it's just the whole fish out of water thing. I don't know... it's not really scary... just really WEIRD!

vanda 09-24-2002 06:19 PM

A new one!!!
 
It's for the new excedrin chewables and the mother is chasing her little boy all over the house. The voiceover introduces the new chewables as the mother is taking one and getting a glass of water. You think the water is for the excedrin , but no, she catches her son and makes him spit a goldfish out of his mouth and into the cup of water.

My other commercial is the Ikea commercial with the lamp. That guy that talks at the end creeps me out!

lifesaver 03-03-2005 04:20 AM

How about the AARP one with all those chinese men named Ping running around. I get all creeped out when he wakes his wife up in bed "Hello sleepy-doo!" Just the way he says it. And then she throws the flower at him, lol. Creepy.

I just saw this last night for the first time...Ping is creeping me out! Although I did see a really funny commercial last night for Toys R Us...mom walks in the door and says "boys, I have the new Grand Turismo"...and you see the kids running and dad running behind them. Because the kids are so far ahead, the dad jumps the railing and totally destroys the armoire but gets to the game first...it's really funny!!!

I have seen that commercial so many times and I still crack up. :D

kayla0deegee 03-03-2005 05:33 PM

I hate that commercial where the guy makes that girl's face out of starburst and then when she comes in there he start's to eat her nose off...i was like ummmmm............ok!

James 03-04-2005 12:09 AM

Did we mention the Tampon thats used to plug a hole in the boat?

Thats hella absorbable.

33girl 03-04-2005 12:24 AM

The Corti Slim ads remind me of the cheesy infomercial from Requiem for a Dream and creep me the funk out. And they're on ALL THE DAMN TIME.

Oh, and what is with the ads that are like "well this whitens your teeth 200 shades, but most dentists feel that's too extreme" and such? It's like, professionals think this product would be dangerous and life threatening but we DOUBLE TOUCAN DARE YOU to use it.

GPhiLlama 03-04-2005 02:45 AM

There's an anti-drug commercial that I saw as a little kid-the one with the girl sitting on the bed, hugging the bunny, and she eventually drowns. That one terrified me when I was little. I then saw that they were re-running it, and I still can't watch it!

tinydancer 03-04-2005 11:28 AM

I hate the one with the tomato emergency room. All the tomatoes are being brought in because people squeeze them to see if they are ripe. ewwwww

It has about made me swear off tomatoes.

vanda 03-04-2005 02:32 PM

The one where the guy walks down the street in a fur coat but when he gets home, you find out they are rodents who run off his body and back into their cages.


Also during the Christmas season I hated the Mojo Vox commercials.

mmcat 03-06-2005 09:59 AM

a local jeweler ad...
it starts panning up on what appears to be a naked front chest area with breasts wearing a tuxedo jacket as a diamond necklace is pulled up with sexy music. about half way up, a discordant chord is played and the camera goes to the face...of the male jeweler. "if it looks this good on me, imagine what it will do for her."
big bad creep out.

FAB*SpiceySpice 03-06-2005 10:00 PM

Ok I don't know if anyone has said this yet or not, but there is this new Arby's commerical that completely freaks me out. The Arby's logo, the hat thingie, follows this guy everywhere, like he sees him in the parking garage, following him in traffic on the way home, sitting outside his house when he gets home. I don't know why it bothers me so much but man it is the worst thing ever. Plus, there is no Arby's that is even remotely close to CoMo so the ad being shown here is completely unnecessary.

sugar and spice 03-06-2005 10:15 PM

I forget what this is even an ad for, but it's the one where the shrimp is eating something, and it turns out to be popcorn shrimp -- and not just ANY popcorn shrimp, IT'S HIS KIDS. YEAH, NOTHING SAYS "YUM" LIKE SHRIMP CANNABALISM. Whose great idea was that?

ihearttrisigma 03-07-2005 10:05 AM

Burger King
 
I this this aired around the begining of the year and it was with a guy and the Burger King King in bed. The guy wakes up, turns over and the King is staring at him. The fact that the King doesn't talk, and his face is this huge plastic thing just creeped me out!
If anyone in Philly was listening to Y100 around this time, they had a hilarous discussion on it!! Ahh, how I miss Preston and Steve in the morning...:(

even the new BK ad is wierd with Hootie singing.

tinydancer 03-07-2005 11:56 AM

I just realized that it was Darius Rucker!! Sorry, it's still dumb.

DeltAlum 03-07-2005 12:31 PM

Any, or all, of the prescription drug commercials when they list the possible side effects at the end.

Basically, they say, "Take this and feel like crap -- or even die."

Swell.

HAHA that's like Miss Piggy in the Pizza Hut commercials where she's eating pepperoni. Dude, WTF?

Dionysus 03-07-2005 03:58 PM

Ok, this is a local commercial because it's advertising this commedian who's coming to a near by comedy club. They show a video of him doing stand-up comedy. HE IS SO UNFUNNY!

"For women, if it isn't funny the first time, then it's never funny. For men, if it isn't funny the first time.........then it's funny the 10th time!"

"A TOE? I.don't.have.no.toe!"

:eek: :confused: :rolleyes:

That one is creepy too. Hes being stalked by that hat.

Another one that creeps me out is the Budweiser commercials that are old commercials, from the 60's and they have that really bad piano playing in the background, and those close ups of the people are REALLY close up. Those people drinkign look like my mom and her friends when they were in highschool. I cant handle that crappy music. I can hear it from anywhere int he house. I have to mute it.
