Name the television commercial that you absolutely HATE!!! |
|
My candidate is "TAKE ME FISHING." They show it constantly, with a bunch of losers whining "Take me fishing....because I'll be dead tomorrow!" "Take me fishing....because I want to toss you over the side, call it an accident and collect the inheritance!" I DESPISE that commercial, with the sad music and the idiotic people. I thought fishing was supposed to be fun.... :shrug: It makes me want to outlaw fishing!
They oughta have Fredo Corleone do one of the spots. Now THAT would be funny!
What's YOUR least-liked commercial???

Makes me almost scream if I accidentally see that part of it.
Sadly, Fredo is no longer with us. The actor who played him, John Cazale passed away about twenty years ago.

7. that Firestone commercial |
|
I hate jingles, and that combines lame late 70's rock sounds with one.
I really fucking hate jingles. and any commercial that tries to be funny, or original. seriously people... I'd be much more apt to buy a product if they advertised it without trying any frills.

The BowFlew ones, where there's a woman in a bathing suit sashaying around and saying, "I can't believe I'm a fifty-year-old grandmother wearing a bikini." And she's with some twenty-something guy who's leering at her. Euw!

And the women are always better looking than the men.
There are counter ads on the same theme, though, where the fat loser ignores the beautiful woman to grab for the beer...alcoholism as a lifestyle choice!

Everytime that Reagan ad came on, my late father father would chime in with "Do bears shit in the woods?" in the same dire tone as the announcer. It was the one good laugh we got during that election cycle!

25. Old Navy Christmas Carolers. |

I still have nightmares about that little boy holding the sign.
There are also, in the area where I live, these commercials for a local car dealership which feature this Godfather-like guy who calls himself -- get this -- "The Car Fairy". I don't know where the hell they came up with "The Car Fairy", but it's got to be one of the worst series of commercials ever made.
I also hate the new couple they have doing the "Sonic" commercials. The two buddies in the car had kind of grown on me, but now they've been replaced by this weird nerdy couple: "Why do they call it a Ranchero Salad?" "Well, it was originally called a 'Ranch Hero' salad. This farm hand rescued a maiden from a burning barn, and the villagers offered the salad as a tribute. And then they burst into song and dance!" WTF???

50. That running guy lives in a pretty fancy house |
|
Nice floors, high ceilings, fancy staircase. And the fucker can't afford to buy more than one plunger? He has to haul ass all the way downstairs, grab the thing from under the kitchen sink, and run back up, only to see the spreading water creeping from under the door.
Hell, I have one in every bathroom, and a shortie under the sink, just in case! What I learn from that commercial: that guy is stupid. He should flush halfway through if he is gonna be laying down massive logs. That guy is cheap, too, for not buying a plunger for every bathroom, or at least every floor of his house!
