OK, what TV commercials really bug you? Make you want to scream at the TV every time you see them? Leaving aside the stupid dads and always white burglars, here's a couple that I see all the time lately...
Back in the early days of TIVO, I recorded a ‘best commercials of all time’ TV show. You know what’s coming, right? I played it back and tried to skip the commercials, then gave up. It was ALL commercials. LOL
Especially since Trivago and the likes are all lies. I have compared hotel web sites to those Trivago type websites and the hotels are always cheaper. Think about it, why would they let some outsider sell their rooms cheaper than they can? They think we are idiots.
The party in the bar where everyone is a captain. Yeah, shut the helicopter down and go out for drinks in your flight suit WITH YOUR FLIGHT HELMET STILL ON.
I think Marie Osmond has a contract with Slim Fast or whatever that tells her to lose weight for the filming time and then get fat again so they can repeat the process.
“I played it back and tried to skip the commercials, then gave up. It was ALL commercials.”
I can just here Uncle Si telling this joke ...
I can’t deal with that kind of stuff either.
She must be told to get fat between filmings so she can lose the weight again?
If that's the one where Mom & Pop are sitting up in bed, reading, when the kid pops in, then I hate it. Mom handles the discipline while Dad is a useless ornament. Just another 'Dad is a dunce' commercial.
I would like to see both Flo from Progressive and Paul from Sprint hung or shot on live tv. Does that say something bad about me?
The BK king is one creepy bast&rd in their commercials.
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
I remember them both. And “Smoke X cigarettes” Smooth, refreshing, satisfying! If you go on youtube to old cigarette commercials, you can find one for a guy working on his car and says, Sometimes I forget to eat but I never forget to smoke!
That’s what Netflix is for....
And all the 'Black' women are as light skinned and Caucasian-looking as possible. It almost seems as if the ad agencies feel forced to include Blacks and are staying as far away as possible from anyone who looks African.
If you go on youtube to old cigarette commercials, you can find one for a guy working on his car and says, Sometimes I forget to eat but I never forget to smoke! What? Now that’s an addiction!
Reminds of when the Simpsons had Itchy and Scratchy doing a cigarette commercial.
