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.

They had a commercial in ATL a while back for some company that would turn your phone back on if Bell South shut it off. They had this straight up stereotypical black woman in the ad. I hated that ad. She would be like, "It wasn't my fault it was my cousin"(You have to see it to understand.) It also had the typical headbob and all of that nonsense.


I don't like the Lawyer ads either. I especially don't like when the lawyers have Hip-hop or R playing in the ad like we're supposed to believe that he listens to that. C'mon now. Then you actually go into the office and there is not ONE minority person working there.

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. 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 !!

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.

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!

[DELTAQTE]

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!

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.

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
