Hey, I don't recall anyone complaining about those old York Peppermint Pattie commercials whenever someone bit into a York Peppermint Pattie, they would "get the sensation" and have a spontaneous orgasm, so let's not get into the whole Herbal Essence bit. Frankly, I know some folk on GC that could use a good Herbal Essence/Peppermint Pattie moment to loosen some of that uptight tension (j/k, j/k, j/k, yall) :D :p

As far as feminine hygiene commercials, I hated those Tampax commercials featuring the Grambling State University dance team. It killed what I thought was a sexy seductive moment for me and then I wound up with my.....oops :o But I digress. ;) I saw that commercial so much in 2000 on Game Show Network during Match Game '7x I was afraid the GSN announcer was gonna say, "Match Game, sponsored by Tampax". I would have to go into MG withdrawal for awhile if I heard that announcement.

Ummm....Maybe I'm tripping, but I don't EVER remember anyone having a "spontaneous orgasm" on the York Peppermint Patty commercials.

Watch "I Love the 80s Strikes Back" - 1989, and when they discuss the York Peppermint Patty commercial, you'll see the guy have an orgasm.

I would also like to add that Old Navy commercial with Lil' Kim on it. I absolutely hate the ending where she says, "You're in the hood now bebe." :mad:

I am cracking up on here!

Lawd yes! How triflin was that! The camera's all up in the mix & then they are gonna bust out talking about a tampon? I was tooo thru with that mess!

then those old commercials with the older black couple & the wife keeps talking about her husband being constipated. I think it's for Milk of Magnesia. That is soo nasty to me.

I just saw this commercial on TV. Now they are promoting chocolate chews! Just the though of him being constipated and chocolate chews makes me want to hurl!

Get Airbourne Baby
 

There are a series of commercials...very low budget...a man is standing next to someone who either sneezes, or coughs (one has him seated on a plane next to a person in a cast & IV's..and the man yells NOOOOOOOOOO like a crazy fool - then the announcer says "Airbourne, created by a teacher who was sick of catching colds from her students".. and the voiceover has a little kid saying "get Airbourne baby!"....The first time I saw it I thought it was a joke...now I keep seeing newer versions...the joke is old now.

And although I think it was mentioned..I am tired of Whoopi in those Slim Fast commercials...I know they want to use "real" people and not models but she is hardly the picture of fitness to me :p!

Re: Get Airbourne Baby
 

are these airborne ads only in bk, or a specific channel? i havent heard of them.

and yeah, whoopi doing slim fast doesnt motivate me to lose weight. just please dont let them have rappers writing 16 bars to some bad tunes advertising slim fast. cause u know that would be next.

You know since I posted this I have not seen the commercial?;)
when I thought about it...it was always on Channel 7 during Oprah or Wheel of Fortune, so its possible that it was just a local commercial.

oh nm then cause im never home or watching tv during this time of day, let alone channel 7.

but lets talk about the commercials we like:

how bout the sprint commercials where the girl braids the whole family's hair (including the dog's!) and she keps talking because her minutes dont start til 9pm? its so funny!

the new geico ads are hilarious as well. better than the gecko.

I hate that stupid one minute weave commercial. I don't know if it's just shown in the New Orleans area or all around, but I absolutely hate it :mad:

I love that Diary Queen commerical about the cheesequake blizzard. The one where the man is carrying the little baby. That commerical is sooooo funny. :D

The commercial I really can't stand is the Quizno's Sub with the singing rats. I really don't understand why you would have rats selling anything, plus the song sucks that they are singing.

I agree with neosoulchild, that new Dairy Queen one is hella funny with the baby kickin his dads azz.

Here are some more commercials I simply can't stand:

-The waffle commercial where the man is pouring syrup into every little square and then puts blueberries on it. Then his wife (or woman anyway) comes into the kitchen, holdin a baby and says "you didn't go to work at all today..., did you? The commercial looks so cheap

-I can't stand that McDonald's commercial with that old school rap about the old lady swipin a card to have her little meal.

-I don't like all the Gusher commercials where the peoples' heads turn into the fruit. That's so ugly.

the worst
 

The white castle (or maybe wendy's) commerical about the made with the double decker burger and holding up his thumb looking at both sides of the argument. "single or double" then his girl walks in and says something. he doesn't like it and goes the picture and say single, together.

I think it is so dumb.

I haven't read the whole thread, but I have to chime in with my all-time most gross commercial. I think it's a Lamisil commercial for the toenail fungus. Well, there is a cartoon of a foot (and I hate feet anyway), and out of NOWHERE the toenail flips up and there is some kind of fungi monster that is embedding himself into the toenail bed. He has all his friends under there and stuff...it is nasty! It actually scares me a little...as much as a commercial can, it just makes me itch or something. I always turn my head when that commercial comes on. :o

I love this thread!! So, since I have a little time to kill...

There was/is a commercial in the ATL area for a company that buys junk cars. On the commercial, this older African American woman is looking at her broken down car in the driveway, calls the company, and says something like, "Come get this junk car...be in a hurry!"

Then another woman comes on the screen (from the company), tows the car and gives the woman money, all in $1 bills. She must have given her all of $4!!!

Isn't that an Ovaltine commercial???

I adored that commercial! :(

Cosign on both!!

I can't watch that one! It seriously makes me sick!!!

I cannot stand that commercial with Ron Jeremy selling that "male enhancement" stuff. It looks soooo cheesy and silly.

The Tampax commercial where the couple is in a boat and it leaks and the woman stops it up with a tampon. Eww!

The Swoops commerical where everyone is holding a Swoop and dancing to "Whoomp! There It Is!" How stupid!

Any of those Welch's commercials with the little kids talking about how good the juice is. They just grate on my nerves for some reason.

The Pepto Bismol commercial where the people in the office have different problems and after taking Pepto, they are all doing this stupid line dance.

Does anyone from the Cleveland/NE Ohio area...
 

...remember this commercial circa 1991-92?

It was for a home furniture store called Quality Home Furniture, or the Big Q.

Well, this voiceover guy was singing, off key,"The Biiiiiiig Q, THE BIIIIIIIIG Q, QUALITEEEEE HOME FURRRRRNIIIIIIIICHURRRRRRR!

OMG, not only was it off key, his voice was straining and cracking trying to hit the high notes. It sounded annoying as Hades, and I cringed everytime the commercial came on.

I swear, I wished Simon Cowell was doing American Idol back then, b/c I would have loved to see him call this dude on the carpet and say, "Don't you ever in your life try to sing again. It was that horrendous. And I really mean this!"

C'mon, (former) Clevelanders, tell me that I'm not dreaming this up; it was THAT BAD!

....i can't stand the swoops and tampax commerical...
the ron jeremy commerical...no comment...
if you have seen it...than you know ....HOTT MESS

I HATE the new Kool-Aid commercial with the kids having different Kool-Aid stands. When the girl sees the little boy's stand, she says, "Oh no he didn't!" :rolleyes:

Stop the madness! Why does everyone have to be so "ethnic?" Is it just because it's a Kool-Aid commercial? *SMH*

Any commercial talking about the nastiness of the toilet bowl brush. Man, I hate it when they catch me eating. That is just PURE D disgusting.

Anybody who needs a commercial to spell out the fact that are germs in the toilet has a problem. Drop it already!


Also, the commercial about "Body Soil. What the hale is body soil? That's some stuff they made obviously to make me puke. If you can't sell a product without the puke factor, something is wrong with your marketing strategy.

I hate the new Six Flags comercial with the old man dancing. He just creeps me out. I also hate any commercial where they have someone black dancing when it's not necessary ala the kit kat & pepto bismol commercials currently airing.

I HATE THAT ONE TOO!!! How could I forget?

I didn't know they were still showing that toenail fungus commercial. I had to leave the room whenever it came on.

I don't especially like the Skippy elephants either.

I LIKE the old guy dancing in the Six Flags commercials. He's nice and peppy!

I thought that one was funny..... One of them has a gold tusk too, and I was lightweight offended.

Okay, that commercial about the kit-kat where the guy takes a bite and starts dancin in his office.....it's funny, but it's annoying, even though it doesn't last long at all.

The herbal essence commercials.....ANNOYING!! ALL OF THEM!!!

Re: Does anyone from the Cleveland/NE Ohio area...
 

Have seen it and yes I hated it also!!

Shortus Cleanus
 

I just saw a commercial for U.S. Expedition Gear Cargo Shorts.

Homeboy is picking up clothes of his bedroom floor and sniffing them, finds his shorts under the bed, and they are so funkdafied, they run away INTO the washing machine. Ol Boy pulls them out and puts them on.

The commercial ends with "crotchest funkiest" AW HELL NAW.

By the looks of the commercial he lives at home, he has no excuse for not doing his laundry. Isn't like he is short on quarters or has to haul it to some skeezy laundromat. If your clothes are so stanky, that they run away into the washer, do laundry or wear something else.

If you go to www.usxgear.com you can watch it yourself.

If you've read
this post, perhaps Serena is doing this with her clothes?

I really hate the commercial when the one chick says, "Such and Such, did you wear my black blouse?"

Then they cut away to the black chick doing the town and living it up in old girl's shirt.

Then the black chick is like, "Uh, does it look like I wore it?"

How nasty and unsanitary is that? How are you gonna wear old girl's shirt then stick it back in the closet? She couldn't even rinse it out, before she put it back.

If I was the "other" chick, I woulda whopped her natural black *zz.

Re: The Pepto Bismol commercial. Watch the lady on the end when she messes up. She starts LAHOA! LMAO

I cannot stand that commercial, but I ALWAYS watch it! :rolleyes: :D

I cannot stand our Six Flags commercial. I don't know if those with locations around the country have the same one or not. This guy is dressed up looking like Elmer Fudd. He begins to dance and such. The music really gets on my nerves. :rolleyes! But, I still watch it like a CASAS! :p

I HATE that commercial. Especially when they grab their azzes when they are doing the little "diarrhea" move. YUUUUUCCKKKK!!

Re: Does anyone from the Cleveland/NE Ohio area...
 

LOL!!!! That guy was pretty bad. I can't believe they played the commercial as much as they did (especially late at night). His voice as the worst!!!!

You mean the one with the shriveled up old man? That's the one I'm talking about.

Yeah, that is the one.

I hate any MENTOS commercial. They hold the Mentos up (after eating one) as if that's what helps them get out of situations. If it were that easy, I would keep a pack of Mentos with me. :mad:

When I read the title of this thread that is the first commercial that came to mind! I think whoever came up with that ad should be made to watch it over and over again and then be fired!

!
 

WTH was that about?? Not only were they rats...they were mutated rats. When I first saw it, I was with my fam watching a game. Everyone was loud and rowdy. But as soon as the stupid commercial came on...SILENCE! LOL

Ok, this is not a TV Commercial (yet), but it is just so bad that I have to talk about it. One of the local radio stations runs a commercial for a bail bond company. It features a traditional west coast beat and rapper (it sounds like Sugu-free). Anyway, the ditty goes something like this:

I'm gonna call the bail man tonight
So I can be free
And go to the house


I just burst into laughter whenever I hear that ghetto mess

I don't like the new toothpaste commercial that shows out here. It's a little glove or something you put on your pointer finger and everyone in the commercial, like, rubs it across their teeth and does this stupid move while saying 'aaahh'. I don't know if anyone else knows what I'm talking about, but that's the only part of the commercial I remember because it's the only part that annoys me.
