Above the Influence.

yeah i saw that coming, but that's a given...


wendy's... but neither of the other two are very far behind... in one you got some creepy stalker in a king costume, and in the other, it tells you if you're hungry to eat candy rather then real food.... the wendy's thing is just plain retarded....

When i think about commercials that suck i cant think of anything but esurance, i hate those commercials with a white hot fiery passion, i dont even remember the other commercials because im so enraged by esurance.

lol i don't hate it, but i do agree... those commercials are just fucking ridiculous.... lol but it's not them that made them popular.... it's everyone who's too lazy to do things the convential way that made them so popular....

they did what any company would do that wants to succeed... find a 'weakness' and exploit it... in this case it's being able to print out everything you need on the spot, from your home...

I dont know about you guys but those Helio commercials PISS ME THE FUCK OFF. "Its not a phone, it's a helio". No Its a freakin' phone! A PHONE! P-H-O-N-E!

And those Burger King commercials scare me. That King guy is frightening.

Oh and I almost forgot those credit card commercials for the easy to go card that you can just swipe and go. But then theres always that one asshole who pays with cash. Yeah, because it takes a whole 3 minutes to get out your wallet. GRRRR!

slipknotpsycho
10-01-2007, 01:54 AM
ok if we're gonna start naming others than the three originally intended.... here you go:

those 'local numbers' like lava life and all that shit.... "when my friends ask me to go out and party i tell them no, i tell them the hottest party is right in my house.. i'm calling <insert number> where i can meet all the hotest local singles.... blah blah blah"

like all the intresting out going, 'worthy of my time' people are on that line.... no it's the same people that call the phone sex numbers.... which i'm sorry if it offends someone here, but all that's on those lines are pathetic no life losers who are too afraid to go out and meet anyone...

rebgirl420
10-01-2007, 02:02 AM
^Oh I know! I see those lava life commercials all the time.

What about the Girls Gone Wild commercials? Sooooooo stupid. And there on all night, over and over, and over. With that stupid tropical music. STUPID.

I think GEICO's commercials suck in a big way. I hate the cave men, and the gecko isn't any better. They get my badvertising award.

I like the Verizon "A dropped call can change everything" campaign. Well written. Well done. Especially the golfer who calls home to ask his wife if she agrees that it's a good idea that he return to the PGA tour.

I don't like them because they don't do their job, which is supposed to be selling insurance.

The point of commercials is just to make people remember the name, maybe not so much with car insurance, but if u see a commercial that you like for chips or some shit, and you go to the store and see those chips your more likely to buy em.

yeah it is a phone... however I like the one where the dudes like "hey scuba guy" and the big whale comes and eats the chick, it was so random the first time i saw it i cracked up

the king is creepy as hell...

I hate those VW ads that show the accident happening, one of them is so simillar to an accident I was in that almost killed me I hate when they come on.

The commercial where they are like "If you drive under the influence, you will be caught" And when they pull the guy over and are like, have you been drinkign sir? And all the liquor pours out of the car?? Like what does that have to do with drinking and driving? I do not agree with driving drun kas 2 of my friends died VERY recently from it, but I just dont get the massive flood fo alcohol pouring out of the car when they open the car door. Why would you drive with a car full up to the steering weel of alcohol that is not contained in a bottle? Is it saying drunk people like to take a bath in liquor while driving intoxicated? I don't get it if someone could elaborate on this for me it would be nice.

Im pretty sure what they're trying to say is that if u drive drunk its very obvious.

Commercials for Enzyte, via the almighty mister I-injected-my-face-with-a-quart-of-botox 'Bob'. Also, 'Head On'. If it was 'Weed on', I'd be down for some of that.

Personally, I've always thought a product should sell itself, also thinking that's what commercial marketing need to focus on - the product itself.

Birdgirl, are you talking about the AT&T ad with Roger Clemens talking about going back to play with the Yankees? If so, I like those too, am not sure if are referring to something different.....

I kinda like "The King" in the BK ads. He reminds me of my sister's husband, 'cause he has a big head too, and they favor each other in a weird way.

I don't know what commercials annoy me the most, but I don't like the SunCom commercials, when they ask stupid questions like "Why aren't cookies called bakies?" and "Why aren't stop lights called go lights?"

And now they have a new product for arthritis:

Maybe they will come up with something for hemmohroids?

Roid On!
Apply directly to your bunghole!

Can't wait to hear that one.


I think the BK king is a little bit creepy, but I like the Geico gecko and the cavemen. I like how the cavemen have all these modern neurotic hangups and are so sensitive about their feelings. It's good enough for a 30-second commercial, but I guess they actually made a TV show out of the caveman concept, which seems really stupid.

miley
10-04-2007, 12:53 AM
I think the caveman ones are decent but i agree with ya that the show will probably be lame.

10-04-2007, 01:05 AM
Cmon that essurance chick with the pink hair is super hot. lol.

^^ truth

the new wendys commercials are mad dumb. the bk king was better when it was new and unintentionally creepy rather than like over the top creepy now that theyre milking it.

snickers ones are nice actually, ROASTED (or is it happy? sounds like happy my friend swears its roasted though) PEANUTS SOAR OVER CHOCOLATE MOUNTAINTOPS AND WATERFALLLLS OF CARAMELLLLL that ones awesome when im baked. and the black dude at the end in awe goes 'the worldddd!'

and that snickers one where the huge whale fish thingy dolphin barfs up a mouthload of fish on the diver feeding him. i loled at that one.

That Feast one snickers is running now is super lame as well as the one with the 2 guys making out that they ran at the super bowl last year. That one wasnt so much lame but more just creepy. I do agree that the one with the guy playing guitar is cool when baked.

I never watch them. If there's a show I want to watch I always videotape it and fast forward through all the commercials. If I'm just trying to enjoy a show I don't want all these annoying commercials telling me to buy a bunch of garbage I don't want or need. I hate television commercials more than just about anything else in the world. :rasta::rastasmoke::jointsmile:

How is even possible that Taco Bell's name has not been dropped in this thread yet? They've made commercials so mind-blowingly stupid that at times I refused to eat there. For real. Maybe it's just me, but I actually do base some of my consumer decisions based on if I liked or disliked the commercial. That's why, on the rare occassion that I get fast food, Jack in the Box is where it's at.

Nah, but some of the worst commercials are when you know the company paid top dollar to have an athlete push their product, but they can't act worth shit.

The video in the ad will be even better still.

I think the BK king is a funny mother fucker, creepy or not, id be happy as fuck if some guy woke me up and hooked me up with a bacon egg and cheese croissantwich... anyone ever played the 4 dollar xbox360 game they used to sell called Sneak King? Funniest thing ever

The cavemen were funny for the first few advertisements, but i do agree that the sitcom is a mildly retarded idea backed up with funny ass characters.

Ok I have to be honest I hate all commercials, and now if you have noticed the volume on certain ones are really loud, now that pisses me off hard. :stoned:

The one commercial, I think its for AT&T, something about getting money back for signing with them and the kids like "Hellooo mp3 player". God I want to punch him in the face. And at the end of the same commercial theres a couple saying they will use the money to learn to dance salsa, damn I want to sock them too. They just look and sound so stupid.
