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!

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.  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:

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  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 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.

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.

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!

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.
