Default Re: Bad commercials enfuriate me. wtf.

the worst one out right now is the dude signing the 56 million dollar contract refusing to take the deal because they didn't throw in a subscription to ESPN the mag.

COME THE [censored] ON. Then they talk about adding some POS mp3 player to it likes its the end all be all of everything.

When I am watching live tv, I pause that goddamned commercial. This is why TIVO will eventually rule the universe.

"I'm lovin' it" infuriates me. Actually, any McDonalds commercial ever infuriates me.

Here's what infuriates me.

The current new tactic of networks, in retaliation to fast forwarding Tivo/DVR users, is to show a advertisement for the show that is currently playing during a commercial break, so you believe that the show is back on, when in fact there are more ads to come. Jesus, that's a run on sentence worthy of Jerry Springer's final thoughts.

i work at an ad agency in nyc. it's amazing how many [censored] commercials there are. even more amazing is the fact that these commercials were actually green-lighted by their agencies.

This thread is worthless without particular examples.

But yeah, they often piss me off too. Supposedly that's even the point with some of them -- makes 'em more memorable.

Im sorry I know this would add to the discussion but I wasnt even watching TV when I started to get mad and I was so blinded by my rage that I couldnt even come up with a stinkin commercial. Id like to believe that thats a testament to HOW bad they are, I cant even remember them.

The Tiki Barber Dish TV commercial is horrendous.

Sadly this makes me smile. Mainly because I have a goofy friend who looks and talks like Tiki barber...he looks so much like him we call him Ronde'. However his real name is nick.

Others have noted it, and I apologize that I went for the quick one-liner quote than fully explain, but you didn't give any examples that started off your rant. That makes it a bad start. It's picking up since examples are being given.

My contribution: I hate Apple's "PC vs Mac" commercials. I do like Geico's "Cavemen" commercials.
