That one is especially annoying!!!:mad:

DSTinguished1 07-07-2004 01:22 AM

This might just be me but that commercial with Della Reese and them ladies singing just bugs me for some reason.

The Truth 07-08-2004 11:30 AM

Okay well I am about sick of Stacy Rumplestein or whatever her name is. That Starbucks commercial is outtaline. First of all I don't appreciate them putting them Black men in those outfits. Why do they have to look like they back in Frankie Lymon's heyday. The man with the afro could have had it shaped just a lil bit better. That choreography is horrific and did I mention those tan outfits. How come Ms. Rumplestein could not have went and sat in her car if she wanted some privacy, why do the singers have to be jackin folks up on the wall and throwin papers in people face. Damn Starbucks!

"Dan the expense report can wait and Bob no she's not interested in a second date no no no no leave her alone"

I can't stand that commercial either. But I think that her name is Stacy Rumple or Runkle because the song is "Oh, this is Stacy Runkle's time..it's stacy's time to clear her mind...." and on and on. Whatever her name is, the commercial's annoying.

The OLD NAVY "air" commercial ~ I want to stab her

TOYS R US Commercial ~ Black woman walking the aisles with 2 Black kids on her legs saying thank you over and over. Today was my first time ever seeing it but they have shown it about 6 times today.

I hate commercials.

I love that commerical. But only because it reminds me of a funny SNL sketch. "Don't get me started, don't EVEN get me started" LOL

For some reason, I have seen white folx slow dance romantically to Bone TnH's "Crossroads".

No lie. I was at a New Year's dinner and dance ($50 a pop, mainstream, i.e. Caucasion crowd), and they were playing a lot of R&B songs, and when "Crossroads" played, everyone got into the slow dance "lovey-dovey" mode. I was like, What the freak?

But anyways, Gina, while I agree with you wholeheartedly, that was something I never understood.

*Hijack mode OFF*

Ohhhhhh the imagery! LMCCAO

I am also sick of those "Midnight Love" compilation discs.
(("Nawwww, my brotha. You got tah get yo' own."))
Can the people not look like extras from "Shaft Goes to Africa?"

:rolleyes:

tinydancer 10-30-2004 08:03 PM

Just saw a new AOL commercial that's stupid. The lady comes into the board room carrying her baby, then proceeds to hand off the baby and get up on the table and walk all around saying what she wants on AOL.
Lame, lame, lame.

1savvydiva 10-30-2004 09:11 PM

Yeah the Emerald Nuts commercials are stupid.

I also dislike the one where the girls are sharing a room and one of them draws a line down the middle of the carpet. The other one uses some stain remover and adjusts the line so that she had more room. The pose where she puts the cleaner in the other chicks face is just STUPID!

preciousjeni 01-16-2005 06:24 PM

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
 
M&M M'Azing Candy Bars...

Have you SEEN the commercial with the little girl who lays her torso on the ground (tummy down) and takes her legs all the way around her body??????????

It's reminiscent of the new release of the Exorcist when Regan/Ragan when she comes down the stairs backwards turned over on her hands and feet. TOOOOOO CREEPY!

Missam05 01-19-2005 01:27 PM

Oh my..
 
I meant to post this earlier when I remembered the name of the drug they were selling but it's the one for the medication to cure toe nail color..I want to say Lamisil but I don't know if I made that up or not..

They have that disgusting looking creature who flips up your toe nail (which makes me cringe thinking of the pain that person is acutally going through) and then he jumps in..oh how disgusting and painful if that's really what happened..

delph998 01-19-2005 03:46 PM

i hate that one commercial when that lady goes to the outlet and yanks it out of the wall. it makes no sense at all! i hate it.

tinydancer 01-22-2005 08:01 PM

Has anyone seen the Tomato Emergency Room one? It's awful!!

Missam05 01-24-2005 04:48 PM

The Nature Sweet tomato commerical??

I'm scared to squeeze them now.."So how do I know if its ripe Mr. Tomato?"

tinydancer 01-24-2005 05:24 PM

Yes, that's the one. Honestly, it has made me stop buying tomatoes!!:eek:

RedefinedDiva 01-29-2005 01:40 PM

I HATE the Twix commercial with the Black couple. The husband is sitting on the couch watching TV when the wife walks in and asks if her butt looks big. The camera zooms in on her butt and it looks enormous. The husband hurriedly stuffs a Twix bar into his mouth to refrain from having to say that her butt is big.

What is the motivation behind that commercial? Don't make me jump up on a soapbox! :mad:

LXA SE285 03-02-2005 02:19 AM

Hate, hate, hate Anna Nicole Smith's TrimSpa commercial:

"Want a Vi-per?"

"Want some mo-ney?"

"Like mah bo-dy?"

"TrimSpa, baby!"

Substitute "crystal meth" for "TrimSpa" and we're gettin' somewhere. (Who knew kids who rode the short bus could grow up to be sex symbols?) :confused:

The new Allstate commercial where the lady is in the parking garage and she finds that her car had been broken into. Now while she is inspecting the damage, Dennis is off to the side talking about how having your car broken into is the scariest feeling in the world and how Allstate can help. I'm looking at him and wondering, "Dennis, why aren't YOU helping her?" Give her a hug, call 911 for her, call security, something other than just standing off to the side!! I know Dennis looks good as usual in the commercial, but this paricular one just irked me.

I HATE that commercial!! But I guess when you haven't made a record in umpteen years and you got kids you gotta do something!! :( :o

RedefinedDiva 09-24-2006 08:52 PM

TTT
 
I HATE that Sprint commercial where the Black guy is twisted like a pretzel on top of the file cabinet, talking 'bout that's the only place he can get reception. :rolleyes: That crappy commercial has been coming on for what seems like EVERY commercial break on EVERY channel that I'm watching. It makes me sick.

I'm chiming in. I hate this commercial with every fiber of my being. Just to let u know, the company that makes the Natural Enhancement products with "Smiling Bob", some of the execs and workers are being indicted for fraud. I think they lied and said that researchers from Stanford and Harvard contributed in making the product. Big surprise.
I highly doubt that scientists with their reps on the line would contribute to research for a product that's hawked by "Smiling Bob" on late night infomercials.
That's just my 2 cents.

I hate the Bellsouth commercial where the family is looking at the dad's pictures from his trip. One pops up and it's him being kissed by two women. The little girl says "Dad, is that you?" the wife smiles and says "whatever". Did I mention these people are black???? I was like, "Oh hayle naw". I got mad at hubby for no reason and told him if he evah did that, he'd be limpin' up out the house.

How come the VW crash commercials SCARE the heck outta me! I've been in a lot of accidents so every time it comes on it's a bad flashback.

Seriously, those commercials are the worst.

I hate the commercial of the Black mother and daughter with secrets.

Black mother: I paid a guy $200 to take you to prom.
Black daughter: Whatever Raekwon from around the way is taking me to the prom.

SECRET DEODORANT. Blah blah blah:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

... see, I think this ^^ is the funniest commerical on TV right now!!

DSTdimepiece 09-25-2006 02:53 PM

^^ you seen the new version of this. It starts with that annoying chant. all the sudden out of the blue screen comes an angry looking black man. He again says the chant, states I hate your commerical but your product works.

It's a little more irritating than the original.

I feel the same way about the one that advertises the Black Male who sings "Unbreak my heart" in the valley girl voice. I think that commercial is so degrading to African American men. He looks like a dayum fool sitting on that workout bench in them lil biddy azz shorts and singing that dayum song!:mad:

MsDelta797 09-26-2006 12:57 AM

I have three....

The one that I absolutely hate with a passion is the Honey Bunches of Oat where the lady sticks her head around the corner wearing what looks like a shower cap and hollers...say it with me yall..."Are u hungry?"...hate it, hate it, hate it :mad: :mad:

The other one is the oreo with the little girl and her grandmother licking the white stuff. Why do they have to lick the cookie like that :eek:

For my New Orleans folk, yall remember the commercial where the couple say that they got a cash advance so they could go on vacation and the man sings...."Who's the man that got me some cash"
....then they had the nerve to have a second one where the couple was on the beach :eek:

DSTinguished1 09-26-2006 01:13 AM

You know what commercial bothers me? This might be silly, but I always get a little irritated at the commercial with the young black male sitting at the kitchen table with his mother. He begins to tell her that he found a way to pay for school and something about him joining the army yadda yadda yadda. I guess the part that disturbs me the most is the mothers reaction to her son. She seems sooo uninterested, apprehensive and apathetic to what he had to say. It just makes it seem like black mommas are not excited about our children's future. I don't know maybe I read too far in into that commerical.:p
