Aw, I like those. "They were all out of Snickers..." "NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" *hurls garbage can* "...so I got these Snickers Dark Chocolate instead." "YYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!" *hurls another garbage can* I love it because he hits the exact same spot on the car with both trashcans. I know it had to have taken multiple takes, but damn it's awesome. And I know I can't be the only one who likes to yell during that "HEY THAT'S MY CAR f***ER!" |

Anybody who's watched TSN will know this one...
It's the one that has a kid crying in a crib for 30 seconds, with the end mentioning that the kid's mom had died to a drunk driver.
Nothing against the message of course, but this commercial has been airing the same way, for almost 15 years...You would think they would update it.

FYI, if I want to eat at Subway when I am at the lab or class, I just have to walk 1 1/2 blocks to eat at the very Subway that he ate at to lose all that weight. And no, they don't have anything up about him. No clippings, plaques, or nothing. |

If that kid's been a baby for fifteen years, it's got a serious growth problem. |

The Visa Check Card commercials. Mainly because they make it look like it is much easier to use plastic then anything else.
And who uses a credit card to buy a $1.25 newspaper?

I hate all of the Erin Esurance commercials. I don't get what Samurai Jack-looking espionage has to do with car insurance.
I do like, however, the Geico commercial where the gecko admits his own luck and mortality.

I guess geckos make for cooler mascots than spies. |

That new ad with the two guys "rapping" about McNuggets makes me want to find their mothers and firmly slap them in the face for bearing such children into the world.

"I'm into nuggets, y'all, I'm in--OH CRAP CAR" (SPLAT) And those Guinness ones annoy like none other. Well, besides the Free Credit Report ones, especially because of the logic. So, you wouldn't marry someone just because she has bad credit (which wouldn't matter as far as his credit's concerned)? And how would he find out, watch as she checks her credit? Steal her identity (leaving her dressed up like a pirate in this restaurant, serving tourists in T-shirts)? The mind, it is boggled. |

First off, I hate that song from the free credit report commerical. So some hacker steals your identity and you go from being a CPA to a fish food restaurant worker. That makes perfect sense.
Second point, I want to married Erin Esurance.
I could probably fill a page with my grips about commericals over the years, but I will tell you guys one story that will hopefully amuse you. I listen to a lot of AM radio. Back in 2004, I was regularly listening to the Jim Rome Show, a sports talk radio show, then the shows that followed until the Milwaukee Brewers game. Anyway, around June they started running commericals against a politian, Roger Brefski. This little old lady was talking about how her husband is dead and left her the house and now Roger Brefski wants to kick her out of her home and put her on the streets. That wasnt exactly what she said but that was the subtext in what she was saying. Well, they ran these commericials every commericial break, sometimes back to back, all the way until sometime around Christmas, long after the election. I was so sick of that little old lady complaining about Roger Brefski that I didn't care if he was a Communist, I was voting for the guy. I've never been so excited to vote in all my life. Get to the polls and find out he wasn't on the ballot. He was running in the next county over, where they couldn't pick up the radio transmission for the ad that has been playing a hundred times a day for 5 monthes, then another month after the election. Funny thing is, that year I went to Milwaukee to see a friend and the same old lady was complaining about a politician down there. I'm very bitter about the whole thing.

Some commercial in which some black guy keeps talking about "Don't miss out, call the number and get back to school. They wont call you, so call them, get off the sofa and make something of your life ............" and it just goes on.

"YYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!" *hurls another garbage can* Same here...now that I think about, Snickers has three of my favorite commercials. 1) Guy spells "CHEFS" in the end zone 2) The guitar playing singer 3) Feast Don't forget Batman! |

I have to get on my high horse for this one:  I will probably gonna catch hell for this one but I'm gonna mention it anyway. Commercials showing diseased children from third world countries. OK it's terrible and I feel for them and in fact I regularly donate to charities that help these guys out. But I can't stand when I'm watching something that puts me in a good mood and feel happy and jolly and then they go to a commercial and you see some hungry diseased kid with the message 'This kid is hungry and is gonna die unless you help'. Thats a mood killer. |

I'm with ya, Gojira...somehow, I think rationally explaining things, rather than tugging heartstrings, would do a helluva lot better.

Thats a mood killer. I agree with you. I am well aware of the problems people face around the world. It's not that I don't care, I just don't always feel comfortable hearing about it. Also, they have been talking about these problems since before I was alive and somehow they never get any better. I'm certain there are enough generous people in this country plus the foriegn aid we pay in taxes, how come there are still starving people? To brighten the mood, I will mention another one of my least favorite commericials and people who watch raw can relate, that is the truth commericials. I would have quit smoking years ago had it not been for these smarmy, holier than thou commercials that run constantly! Now I just do it to be spiteful towards the truth people and hope that maybe I can sue them in the future for damages. And one more thing. How bad were last years super bowl commericals? I can barely remember any of them and the ones I can remember are for how bad they are. |

A commercial that I don't mind, but has been stuck in my head recently, is the FreeCreditReport.com ad. They say a man should always dress up for the job he wants So why am I dressed up like a pirate in this restaurant? It's all because some hacker stole my identity Now I'm in here every evening serving chowder and iced tea Should've gone to FreeCreditReport.com I should've seen this comin' at me like an atom bomb They help you with your credit and send you e-mail alerts So you don't wind up serving fish to tourists in T-shirts "I should've seen this comin' at me like an atom bomb" I hate that commercial just for that lyric. What is that supposed to mean? As for a commercial I hate, it's the one for the Strange Wilderness movie. When they show the shark and have that guy making stupid mocking noises over the footage, over and over again, it make me want to do bad things. |
