Lerxster Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 QUOTE (Mara @ Jan 16 2012, 01:46 PM)I have had enough of the stupid Geico piggie. The first ad "wee-wee-wee all the way home" was bad enough. But the new one, with the pig on the zipline? I want Mayhem from the Allstate ads to barbeque the Geico pig, and the sooner the better. Oh my god yes! Why that f***ing weeing pig deserved a sequel commercial I don't know. I almost sprained my ganecktagazoink trying to change channels. I agree- he needs to wee right into a smoker.

Mara Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Another recent one that annoys the crap out of me - I think it's for cars.com. It has the lady in the parking lot running after moving cars and shrieking, "HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY FOR YOUR NEW CAR!?!?!?" I keep hoping there's a senior citizen back there somewhere who will accidentally stomp on the accelerator, thinking it's the brake, and mow her over.

Yeah but one thing that always annoys me is the VOLUME! Commercials always seem to be twice as loud as the TV show/movie, which often means scrambling for the mute button when you're dying to go to the loo...

treeduck Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 The worst American commericals are the "Had a Bad Day" fantasy football one, the weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee flying pigs one, the annoying Pizza song one and Sam Elliot and his Ram trucks...

Lost In Xanadu Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 The "that's so 6 seconds ago" commercials. Not sure who it's for - but some cell phone company I believe.

circumstantial tree Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 There's a new commercial for the Atkins Diet. This commercial doesn't bother me necessarily, but I think it unintentionally shows why the Atkins Diet is not a good thing. The woman in the commercial, whose name I believe is Courtney Thorne Smith of Ally McBeal fame, looks skeletal in that commercial. It's really sad that anybody would endorse that as being healthy.

They Bow Defeated Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) The "mayhem" State Farm spots. If I was their customer, I would cancel my policy and let them know it was because of these ads. Any commercial that shows reckless, aggressive, dangerous driving, with the small "professional driver on closed course" caption. If I was independantly wealthy, I would make it my life's work to coordinate class-action lawsuits against these guys by anyone who'd seen one of these ads and then had an accident.

I remember hearing they were going to do this, but since the commercials seemed just as loud I figured it didn't pass. But I have to go with the same answer the last time I posted in this thread..."all of them". Thankfully for the DVR I don't have to watch many, except at light speed. I am waiting for the company who makes one in suuuuupppeeerr slow-mo so that people ff-ing can see it at real speed. You watch. Someone will do it!

There is another one in the works, though, that tries to get around that loophole. Yeah. Right. I hope so. I hate when I happen to not ff and the sound is off the charts loud. BTW, I did think of a group of commercials that I do hate with a passion. The ones for free credit report dotcom (don't even want to make a possible link!) The ones where the band plays "catchy" little tunes about getting your credit report. I saw one recently and either the lead singer is different or he changed his look drastically. My guess is he quit because at first he thought, "what a great way to get my name out there as a singer", and then he was known as the free credit report dot com band guy. He probably had to play every one of those stupid songs any time he played at a bar. Poor guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
