Any Ad that has a shitty rap as their jingle.


The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs. It's the same thing, fear, but it's what you do with it that matters. Cus D'Amato

Insurance commercials.
Loan commercials.
Sponsor a dog commercials.
NSPCC commercials.
Any charity commercials.

And the clever, subtle and telling sequence of pre-film commercials at the cinema:

Car > Beer > Car > Beer > Sky > Car > Beer

(If it's Christmas time, you also get treated to a "Don't Drink and Drive" commercial, in between the cars and beers.)

TV commercials might be the most obvious window into any culture or time.

All Geicko commercials, all the ones advertising how so many people made thousands of dollars in their own home based business. rolleyes The one commercial where you can check your credit, starring those same 3 buffons.


And the ones that TIS mentioned in her post.

Most Annoying: the drug commercials that give you a few dozen side affects or warnings and then push YOU to ask your doctor if (Cymbalta) is right for you.

Tasteless: Any Erectile Dysfunction Syndrome drug commerical during sporting events. I've heard many father's complain about watching a sport event with their young sons and they have to endure the uncomfortable moment.

As for "those" commercials, MC, what about the one for Cialis that has the people in bath tubs in the middle of a field?? Yes, you see bath tubs in the middle of a field quite often. And even if you DID, how is that related to having sex, being in a field in separate bath tubs? And my daughter, who starts college in September, is quite frankly grossed out by the one of the couple interrupted by their daughter coming home from college for a surprise visit. lol

Actually, my husband and I were at the airport on the moving sidewalk and he started humming the Geico song. That one commercial in the airport, with the caveman in his tennis gear, still cracks me up.

Late night commercials that tell you that some useless gadget or self help program is worth more than $500 but they will sell it to you for not $500, not $300 but the incredibly low price of three monthly payments of $39.99 and if you act now you'll also get for free.......

Not pending. Stella Artois owns Bud.


BTW The only beer worse than bud is Corona

Although not a real beer, I tend to like Corona at times.

There's a commercial for hair dye for men that plays on a 60s theme, and suggests that all of you former hippies, who are turning gray, need to dye your hair to maintain the spirit of the 60s. The graying male models look like a bunch of aristocrats in their polo shirts, and the guy playing guitar with the young girl hugging him looks like he had never seen a guitar in his life before the commercial.

The model tells us in his pompous accent, Don't trust anyone in their 90s," and then laughs like a horse's ass.

All the NFL Truck and Bud commercials have driven me away from pro football. The games take four hours to play. It is really awful.

Corona's perfect when you've got a hangover.

Stella Artois's perfect for giving a hangover. I love it.

It's a generalisation, of course, but Americans as a nation haven't a clue about beer.

If you're telling me either Corona or Artois are even remotely to be considered "beer," then I refute your remark wholeheartedly.
