I never noticed much about the oreo one except that grandma is random and a waitress.

What's wrong with how they are licking the oreo? I personally prefer to dunk them in peanut butter, but to each their own!

I hate both these commercials. I have to turn them every time they come on.

I don't think that Capital One commercial is anymore degrading to black men as a whole than the one with the two old ladies tlaking like rednecks is degrading to little old ladies.

I personally think it's pretty funny. No idea how it looks bad for black men as a whole.

I think that Cap. One commercial with Unbreak my Heart is funny. Besides, when's the last time you saw Dinka?

This one I really hate...
 
I just saw the commercial advertising one of mercedes benz's sports coupe. It has a man leaving his office job and hopping into his benz, then the next thing you know he his pulling up the the red carpet at the club with his girl. The whole time the commercial is playing, you hear the new '06 remix to "The Jeffersons" theme ("Movin' on Up).

Now I really find this to be degrading! Why do marketing analysists insist that the only way to catch our attention in commercials is to involve snappy hip hop music or food? Could you please give my people some credit? Why we got to pull up to the club in our benz...how come we can't pull up to the White House, or pull up to the school to drop our kids off? Dayum! Dayum! Dayum!:mad:

Picture this:
A girl pulls up in the beauty shop in an old car while Good Times theme song is playing in the background. Good Times as in JJ, Florida Evans yall....anyway... She walks in the beauty shop complaining about not having any money and her car needs repairing. One of the customers tells her to go to Mo Money Taxes. The next day after filing the taxes she is now riding a Lexus. At the end of the commerical, a white dude says: Mo money taxes, it's on like a pot of neck bones then he says ughhhhh like Master P. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/mad.gif Can we say ghetto to the tenth power? I wonder who was the mastermind behind that trash?
I figured someone in here would mention Mo' Money Taxes. I found their latest masterpiece floating on YouTube:

I agree! "Head on, apply directly to your forehead...Head on, apply directly to your forehead...Head on I hate your commercial but your product is amazing!" Who in the hell thought of this?...

Still BLUTANG 05-31-2007 02:30 PM
i hate the "Tony Sinclair" Tanqueray commercials. i mean, come on...

TotallyWicked 05-31-2007 11:38 PM
The recent skittles commercials of the guy dancing and singing 'berries and cream" and the screeching bunny...seriously what were the creators smoking?!

Also the one...forget what it's for, but Robert Goulet is in the episode 'messing with your stuff', I mean it reminds me of the insurance commercials where Gladys Knight pops out of nowhere in a football game :confused: Choose celebrities wisely in your commercials don't just stick them in there and expect their name to sell your product, seems like the concept(s) was formed around the celebrity and not around an actual idea

I actually really like watching commercials, but my bf hates the Sonic commericals. Says they don't make any sense.

OneTimeSBX 06-01-2007 09:01 AM

I like them - except the Hot Fudge Shake one - I HATE THAT ONE!

"When the hot fudge hits the shake part..." I don't know why, but that gets on my nerves.

oh no, even worse than that is the BLT one where the guy tries to order a Blatizzle? i cringe everytime i hear it...

DSTRen13 06-01-2007 09:11 AM
If I see that stupid girl with her bouquet of flower at the office getting upset about her boyfriend when the call gets dropped ONE MORE TIME ... that little whimpery noise she makes is obnoxious, and they play that commercial incessantly!

I have yet to see that one. But I live near a Sonic, so for whatever reason, they don't play those commercials repeatedly like they do in areas that DON'T have a Sonic.

DSTMystique 06-13-2007 11:00 PM
I have two commercials I hate:

1. Those Head-On commercials. I think someone mentioned it earlier!

2. That stupid Wendy's commercial where all the people are in a forest and they are kicking the trees and this white guy is wearing a red wig looking like "Wendy" and he stops kicking his tree and looks around and says something stupid like, "why are we doing this"? "I want a fresh and juicy burger"! Then everyone starts chanting, "Fresh and Juicy Burger, Fresh and Juicy Burger" and he leads them out of the forest....HATE IT!!!!!!!!

The marketing/advertising agencies that came up with these two "gems" should be fired on the spot!

TotallyWicked 06-13-2007 11:12 PM
i'm so not feeling these new taco bell commercials about the mom and her son, and her not believing the Quesadillas cost $1.99...blah so lame!

lovehaiku84 06-14-2007 09:25 AM
I can't stand the phone commercial where the two people are dressed in these big fat "dot" suits (one orange and one green) are talking on the phone like "WHERE U AT?" and "OH DON'T YOU TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD KNOW!". Um, WTF? This commericial is just too hood/ignorant for my tastes.

AlphaFrog 06-14-2007 09:33 AM
I know this is commercials you hate...but I have to jump in and say that the Subway one where the girl at the drive-thru orders the "Badonk-a-donk Butt" kills me. Great commerical.

Like we get Popeye's and T-Mobile commercials and don't have either here last time I checked.

I see the T-Mobile all the time, but I don't think I've ever seen Popeyes...although I have Dish Network, so I might not get the same ones as DirecTv or Time Warner.

Dionysus 06-14-2007 09:53 AM
What about all these commercials about meds?

The Cymbalta one is the worst, they show everyone being depressed. Okay. But, why did they have to show a damn dog being depressed? Just another case of people treating dogs like humans.

Yeah I have Time Warner and see Popeye's commercials all the time. When I moved here 5 years ago I had T-Mobile and they told me it was coming to Charlotte in like 6 months. I held on for a year and still no T-Mobile. 5 years ago, still no T-mobile.

I am tired of the Alltel commercials.

Their only redeeming quality is that Chad is cute. And the commercials themselves aren't that bad...the first time...

skywalker20_99 06-14-2007 10:14 AM
For some reason, I cannot STAND that Old Navy swimsuit commercial. The background music is so irritating! Plus, it seems like the models try so hard to be extra sexy. It just kills me!
