VH1 reality show promos  :P

Any commercial utilizing changed lyrics to a popular song (past or present) goes on my s**t list.

VH1 reality show promos  :P


Arrghhh..."Celebreality" is stupid.  Actually, I hate just about any reality show.

I":m sick of the Vonage (?) commercial where the woman is talking about setting up her internet phone service and her husband is doing the robot inthe bacground....funny one, now I am going to punch HIM in the face...

the King playing football is great. Long live the King.

I don't like the Vonage ads either. ::)

Mcdonalds. Man I hate those commercials.

The Vonage ad with the dumba$$ on the treadmill.....and the one with the two nudists gardening! And that music is way annoying.

All the Capitol One ads with David Spade in 'em.....

and any ad with either Jeff Gordon or Jimmie Johnson in it. If one does not follow NASCAR, you would not know why me and a few other fans don't like either of 'em.

Commercials seem to be getting dumber and dumberer. There's some stupid ad that has little kids literally asking to be unhealthy. What kind of example does that set for the young ones? >:(

For some reason, those commercials for ditech.com really irritate me. Especially when they show that fatass loan officer or whatever who shakes his fist in frustration and bellows, "Drat...lost another one to ditech!"

That Ditech guy is so damn annoying. Those commercials are overplayed too.

I can't stand alot of burger king's new commercials. Especially the one with those guys riding on the backs of giant chickens. Really stupid IMO.

I can't really stand to look at any commercial anymore, cause they're all so stupid. Most of them make me wanna http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/08/puke.gif. So whenever I'm watching a show on tv, and the commercials come on, I change the channel to something else for the next few minutes.

i really REALLY hate the commercial for some prescription drug (which is like every other commercial nowadays) where the doctor and his "students" are walking around campus talking about the benefits of the drug as if it's an actual lecture....really burns me up!! SO STUPID!!!!  http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/10/xyxgun.gif

I hate those Capital One commercials, where they play that "Hand in My Pocket" jingle, and it shows a financial advisor with his hand in all these people's pockets  ::)

I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but I find Penzoil ads rather corny and stupid. http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/08/pukeface.gif

I hate any and all commercials for genital herpes medication, erectile dysfunction medication, feminine hygiene products (not pads/tampons, but like douche), that Pepto-Bismal commercial where they dance around touching the parts of their bodies affected by whatever is causing them cramps and the runs and any Burger King commercial with that King. 

THOSE NEW/LATEST VW commercials that try to show you...if you get in a crash, the car will protect you!

When that one car gets t-boned out of nowhere...that loos like a pretty hard hit, not a 'roll into' hit...what we don't see are the ambulances and people sweeping body parts off the street!!

Were the victims just at Starbucks they all seemed pretty calmed down through this event.

I wrote a digital spoof where people talk to each other and get hit then the words : SHUT UP AND DRIVE! Appear at the end.

:D :D :D :D 

Nextel has some pretty horrible commercials out now too.

Radio--

Ovaltine spots.
Tanya Roberts for some Vegas tour package. Really annoying!

Any.

Although I like that psychedelic M&M commercial with the folk music.

I don't like the ones that depict:

Men embarassed to discuss diarrhea, women that are restricted to cooking dinner and food shopping, men that are inept and can't cook, women angry at men staying out late or drinking, ...meh, all those stereotypes.

Radio--

Ovaltine spots.
Tanya Roberts for some Vegas tour package. Really annoying!

yeah...that "MORE OVALTINE, PLEASE!" gag is quite annoying. http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/08/puke.gif

As for radio adverts, I hate just about all of 'em. Especially the ones that take a popular song and change its lyrics for commercial purposes. I frikkin' hate that! >:(

I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but I find Penzoil ads rather corny and stupid. http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/08/pukeface.gif


Yes, I mentioned that one waaay back:


Well I'm glad you kept it up here, cause I can't post in the other thread (since it's in the Playful Penguin Place, which is not open for guest posting), and there are plenty of commercials that I hate.

For one thing, I hate the current ads for Pennzoil. Why? Because engines don't jump out of cars. One of them starts with a cat sitting on the hood of an automobile. Then, pwing!--the hood flops open (throwing the cat into midair) and out comes the engine. And then a few other disembodied engines start making their way to the service station. Get real! >:( That kind of thing doesn't happen in real life...what are some of these advertisers thinking? ::)

They're still on?

The new Volvo ads on TV...

The Sprint commercials with the guy that goes SEVEN PM!!
Also the latest Tmobile commercials

1. The rich chocolate ovaltin commercials, those stupid chocolate milk commercials.
2. Eye drop commercials with Ben Stein going ''wow.''
3. Kids' products commercials.


OLD NAVY!!!  http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/01/barf.gif

They're still on?

Unfortunately, yes. ::) There are tons of ads out there that make my stomach turn.

Too many to even count. ::)

The one where this woman is shown applying something to her forhead while a female voice says:

"Head-On, apply directly to the forehead!
Head-On, apply directly to the forehead!
Head-On, apply directly to the forehead!"

Crikey, is that annoying.

The UK has been hit with the new Burger King ad, where the King produces a burger from behind him.

Also... I hate commercials with babies and adult voice-overs. Babies are cute for being babies, not for talking and thinking like adults... That's just creepy. ;)

Quizno's..."Mmm...toasty"...I really don't see why anyone would want something like a steak sub or Italian hoagie toasted...
The AOL for Broadband ads!

Quizno's..."Mmm...toasty"...I really don't see why anyone would want something like a steak sub or Italian hoagie toasted...


......because it heats the meat and melts the cheese and makes the sub extra-yummy.

I hate those new Sprite "Sublymonal" ads.

I hate those new Sprite "Sublymonal" ads.



You too? I can't stand those new sprite ads either.

Slowly but surely DR. Zin the car ads for FORD?////

They are playing a little too much!

That Gas-X commercial where the busines lady says "Sales are flatulent... This won't pass gas with Wall Street... I have remained Silent But Deadly on this... We have to Let Rip with a new plan"

None of those phrases really makes any sense in the context of the business meeting.  And then at the end of the ad, the guy who is squirming in his chair (apparently because he is afraid of cutting the cheese) gets a big smile on his face as a trumpet blares.  Does that mean he just farted?

>:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Have you seen Honda brought back that 'Mr. Opportunity' commercial again!

Eyewwwwww!  Too annoying and phoney like any other sleaze used car salesman unless it's just the announcer that's a turn off....


Guess Burger King is hearing the public..we haven't seen the 'King' in any commercials lately now they are using MIDGETS to show how they construct their BIG burgers!

A for their effort of trying to find a hook! Has anyone noticed WENDYS has been around a long time and never had anything to hang their hat on except the news story of their finger in the Chili or just 'Old Fashioned' Burger sign.

Dr. Drew for Viagra! What a sell-out!

Hey, Dr. Drew has always, first and foremost, been about getting nookie.  8)

It is only natural that he be hawking Viagra on TV.  ;)

Yeah, I guess there's no money in advising, "Can't make the sparks fly no more? Maybe it's time to hang it up, bub. Move onto all the wonderful things life has to offer when you don't have to be preoccupied with sexual performance."
"Nah, no thanks, doc. Can you write me a scrip for Viagra?"
"Comin' riiiight up!"
;D

That guy's so ugly, he makes me sick.

I just saw that commercial, and I don't think that's what it means.  I think they were saying that now that he took one of those Gas-X strips, his gas is gone, hence the trumpet (ta-da!).

(Musical flourish)
Voiceover: Heyyy! We're back, and we'll have more music for you in just a moment. First, this just in. It looks like the government is liquidating on foreclosed homes, a lot of these homes may be sold for little or no money down...."

That's as far as I get in that commercial....I don't even remember what the scam 800# company is called.  I just hate the ham-handed way they try to make it sound like the DJ just came back from commercial break!  "More music"? This is "talk radio."  The jerks. What I remember from the times I listened through the add was "...if your last name begins with A-M call right now, If you're last name begins with M-Z, make a note of the number and call tomorrow!"  But then tomorrow, the announcement says the same thing.  But my last name begins with "S," so when do I ever get to call for the free house that the government is giving away because some poor schnook couldn't pay his mortgage?  (You know it's all bullsh*t anyway, whatever it is.)
http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/11/bs.gif


This is an ad on Air America.  Unfortunately, Air America has trouble attracting the bigtime accounts, so they have to sell ad time to every scam artist with a 1-800 number. It's frikkin' embarrassing!

Heartburn, nausea, indigestion! Upset stomach, diarrhea!

Hello, I'm a Mac

Gawd, how I hate those fracking commercials.  Every time I see one, I want to reach through my screen and slap the snot outta that smug annoying Mac.  And it does not help when almost every word is a lie.  It is no wonder that most Mac people really do not know anything about computers, they are not even smart enough to use a mouse with more then 1 button.   :D

Ironically, I found the following picture about an hour after I made this post. 

Political ads which I don't agree with. We're bound to see a lot of those this year, since it's a major election year.

You are SO right! I hate those commercials. And I'm definately not a Mac person either. Viva Windows XP baby!

I don't know if they show this ad nationwide in the USA or if it is just in PA, but they run this ad where a kid gets on and says "I started getting big.  I mean really big.  Then my doctors helped and my school helped and now I am not big anymore.  It's awesome".

I've got to think that the ad makes some fat kids feel bad (i.e. that they are not "awesome")  :-\\

I hate those ads too! Then again, I hate all but a few commercials.  What bugs me about Mac users is they're always telling me how much better Macs are than PCs, and how you don't have to guard against all those viruses and spywares.  I just say, "You know why I need a PC? Because I couldn't do my focking job without one!!!  I have to be able to interface with software the rest of the world uses!  I don't have a cool-dude graphic artist job, y'know!  Actually, I do have an old iMac.  It's over there in the close, haven't even plugged it in for three years!
;D

Lionel, the talk show host, for Denny's.  "Lionel" the wisecracking, smart-mouth lawyer who has a syndicated in various markets.  He's quite witty and mordant in his style   His talk radio program is sponsored in part by Denny's, so he does a bit for them, "Hey, Lionel here for Denny's..." and he goes on to extol the qualities of the Grand Slam. 
http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/08/puke.gif

You figure most of these guys aren't crazy about the product they gotta pedal, but you know if Lionel wasn't getting sponsored by Denny's, he'd go on a ten-minute tear on how totally nasty the place is.  He'd describe the food in the most nauseating terms possible, he'd rank on the crummy service, he'd have a go at the weirdos you see in Denny's at 3:00 a.m.

Maybe Denny's was so afraid Lionel was going to rip into them one night, they figured they'd better buy him off!

It's that feeling you get when somebody's talking and you know he doesn't mean a word of what he's saying.  It's like when Big Mike the playground bully gave you a bloody nose, and Mrs. Grundy hauled him over and made him apologise to you in person, "I'm sorry I punched you in the nose, it really wasn't a nice thing to do, and I'll never do it again..."

"It is no wonder that most Mac people really do not know anything about computers..."

I disagree with ya PC repair, Dude.

I've worked with all versions of Windows since 1992, (OS/2 and Apples before that, as far as non mainframe computers go), and I've also done tech support, but Mac users -- in my opinion -- have a better understanding of their computers than most -- not all mind you -- Windows users.

People who buy Macs tend to do it simply because they just don't like MS, which is basically why they use Unix or Linux at work too. All the Mac users I've come across are the type of people who don't mind working with something that's different and aren't afraid to learn something new.

When I did tech support a year ago I thought it would be the Mac users that would cause me the most problems since I never touched a Mac before that, but I soon found out it was the dreaded call from Windows 98 users that made me cringe -- and I have two PCs at home, one's an XP and the other is a Win98 !

The order of computer awareness by people of their home or work computers, based on my own person experience, are (by the OS they use):

1. Linux (the best)

2. Macintosh (the later the OS version the better)

3. XP (SP2 only! The real dumbasses are still on SP1, and are too stupid to know how to upgrade or why they should be on SP2)

4. Windows Me (Why Me? Because these people always seemed to know they were screwed. They learned about their PCs simply by dealing with Me's constant problems)

5. Windows 2000

6. XP SP1

7. Windows 98

8. Windows 95/Windows 3.1 (believe it or not there are still some of these out there)

:)

I hate that one with the hip hop and the people jumping...I don't remember what the commercial was advertising..

It's a rare commercial that I CAN stand...

8. Windows 95/Windows 3.1 (believe it or not there are still some of these out there)

I would laugh in their face if I knew anyone still running either of those OS.

Well, I do have a Windows 95 Packard Bell. But I just use that to play my old games. I mainly use XP SP2.

"It is no wonder that most Mac people really do not know anything about computers..."

I disagree with ya PC repair, Dude.


Well, let me start by saying that my first corporate job working with computers was as a Mac Tech.  That's right, I started with Hughes Aerospace in 1995 as a Macintosh technician, because they decided to make the company 50% Mac, and 50% PC.  By the end of 1996, they had returned all of the Macs to Apple, and were 100% PC.  The 7200 was such a miserible piece of junk, that even I stopped advertising the fact that I was Mac certified in my resume.

YOu have to remember, I had worked years ago selling APple IIs, and did work on the Lisa.  My mom bought a first generations Mac, and that was all I worked with until I got my first exposure to the PC in 1988 (4 years later).  But by the last 1990's, Mac had become horrible.

People complain about the "Microsoft Monopoly".  Well tell me, what computer does Microsoft sell?  None, because other then Mice and Keyboards, they stay out of hardware.  Even the Routers and Wi-Fi components they sell are simply rebranded USR items.

On the other hand, Apple sells the computer, the operating system, and has 100% controll of any hardware and software added onto the system.  And if you had OS9, you better shell out $140 for OS X.  Oh, and if you want a newer version of OS X (I think they are on the 2nd or 3rd version), that is an extra $140+.  In the same time frame, MS sent from XP, to XP SP1, to XP SP2.  And the cost to upgrade from one to the other is...  nothing.  If they followed Apple's business pattern, XP SP2 would have cost an additional $95.

The idea that Apple does not get virus?  That is as insane as saying they never get hacked, they never crash, and that it is the tooth fairy that puts the money under your pillow.  My favorite little blurb in the last 3 months was when PC Magazine compared a Mac running OS X against a Mac running XP.  They were surprised to find that the Mac actually ran faster with Windows!  And that is the result from anybody who did a side-by-side comparison on the same hardware.

"Based upon the tests and the results, it appears that the Windows XP operating system is actually a better performer when it comes to running the applications compared to the Mac OS X operating system. This performance gap can be as much as 34% faster in two similar applications."

Well, I have a deep background in Mac.  In fact, as recently as 2003, 35% of my work was on the Mac.  I worked in LA for a small on-site service company, and I was the only Mac technician they had.  I tried to teach the owner and the other 2 techs how the Mac worked, how to work with Extensions and the like, and they had no interest.  For somebody who was not used to the "Left-handed thinking" that came along with working on the Mac, it was a foreign language.

In fact, I found it ironic that somebody who started in Mac could quickly pick up Windows.  But if somebody started with Windows, Mac was almost incomprehensible.  And the fact that the Mac runs Windows programs is nothing new.  The PowerPC could do that back in 1994.  The next chance you get to look at a Windows NT disk, check the directories.  You will find "X86" (PC), "Alpha" (Sun and other workstations with ALpha CPUs), and PowerPC (Macintosh).  However, after less then a year, Apple changed the firmware, making the PowerPC incapable of running NT, and causing the end of their partnership with IBM and Intel (after each company gave them millions of dollars in development grants).

And Windows software running on a Mac?  Microsoft could not care less, they are a software company.  They loose nothing at all in any way.  But try to make a card/program that runs Mac OS on anything other then an Apple computer, and prepare to have your butt sued off.  It has been done several times in the past, and always the same result: Apple attack dog lawyers sueing the company into bankruptcy.

I remember the old days of the Commodore-Atari-IBM-Apple fights, the only difference is that we are now down to only 2 companies.  But I refuse to support or sponsor a company that works in a true monopoly.  This is why I do not support Blu-Ray, and did not support the MiniDisk or the UMD disk.

On a similar note...Mac computers were the only things I used from 1991 through mid-1998 (except for a stint in early '93 when I took a winter intercession class with Apple IIc computers...but Apple also makes the Macs!). I never got acquainted with the Windows family of operating systems until the summer of '98, right after I graduated from high school. Didn't take long. Wait...in June of '94 I may have used a machine with a very primitive version of Windows at somebody's house. Other than that, it was Macintosh all the way.

It's not.  You can buy Windows XP for Macs and you can buy Windows Office for Macs as well.

Okay, okay, I believe ya. Maybe what I should have said is, it seemed inconceivable to me a few years back. Not currently, though.

pretty much every commercial on TV.  TV in general freaking sucks these days.

pretty much every commercial on TV.

Yep...about 95% of the ads on nowadays suck. I can't stand to look at them anymore. That's why I find myself channel surfing during the commercial breaks.

The credit bureaus.  They way the go about it is the most obtuse mockery.  Talk about inciting terrorism!

I hate any commercial that shows people being involved in car wrecks.

Oh, here's one...

International Star Registry

Name a star for the one you love.  How romantic.

Here you are, honey.  Nothing.  Not anything at all.

What are people thinking?  No matter where in the world you are, under ideal conditions you can see perhaps a couple of thousand stars with the naked eye.  You can see a few thousand more with binoculars.  With amateur telescopics and some good charts, you may be able to distinguish fifteen thousand stars.  They ran out of those years ago!

Now, how many people have had a star "registered" in their loved ones name?

"Where's my star, hon?
"Oh, it's up there somewhere."

Suppose Lisa really wants to see her star?  She has to go to a professional astronomy station with high-powered telescopes it take a university degree to operate.  She has to get the folks at the station to help her out.  Dr. So-and-So takes her information and shows her a barely discernable pinpoint smudge on the computer screen.

"That's my star!  The Star Lisa?"

"Erm, no, we are tentatively calling that one Beta-Gamma-XK-711134-GH.  We estimate it has been extinguished for 4.5 billion years."
"But it exists!  My hubby bought it for me from International Star Registry.  It's name is Lisa!  Star Lisa!  I have it right here on the certificate."
"Very well, dear, but I'm afraid we astronomers must still call it Beta-Gamma-XK-711134-GH. You see, there are so many millions of celestial bodies that when we name them, we must..."
"No, no, Lisa, it's Star Lisa! Your lying to me, doctor!"
"Oh dear..."
;D

A scientist on NPR was said the state of New York tried to bring suit against ISR (If I remember it right) because it is illegal to sell something you don't own.
The court saw it more like a person buying a piece of paper and a company naming or renaming something nobody owns.  You can call anything anything you want, so long as you don't infringe on copyright laws or official government designations.
As the scientist commenting on on NPR put it, I could name the city of Albany after me.  I could call the city of Albany "Steve" if I wanted to.  Nobody else would, but I could if I liked.  That's what ISR does with stars.

RPR!

"My dad wet the bed until he was twelve, so it might be genetics"

I wanna strangle those kids in that commercial.  They air that commercial like 1,000 times aday, and it usually comes on when I'm eating.  The last thing I wanna hear during meal time is a bunch of kids talking about bed wetting  >:(

At least a "pet rock" is something to have and to hold!

My point about these stars is that not only is the naming a fraud, but the star may not be a physical entity.  A lot of stars are so many millions of lightyears away the light is just reaching powerful telescopes now, but the star itself went out of business when planet Earth was still a lifeless rock!
So you're giving me the invisible light from a dead star.  Is this  more akin to Carl Sagan or to Jean-Paul Sartre?

I hate any commercial that shows people being involved in car wrecks.

I'm with you.
