Oh.. Sorry about the above the influence thing. Makes much more sense now. Cmon that essurance chick with the pink hair is super hot. lol.
Dont forget the weird BK commercial with the Chinese guy acting like a snake.
Its not the characters i dont like, i just hate the stupid fucking things they say like oh its a robot thats a insurance provider im gonna fuckin shoot it with a laser beam, WTF its so fucking retarted,and theres a fuckin giant nonexistant robot cutting down trees for paper the auto insurance companys use, as if they also make their own paper. FUCK ESURANCE.
sorry if im ranting, i pretty much hate esurance more than anything in the world
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....Quote:

Yeah i'm with ya on that man. Relax, smoke a J.
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!
i completely agree reb. those are some more that i really hate
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...
^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 like geico commercials, the little british lizard cracks me up, and the cavemen are.. ok nothing special but i dont dislike them
hardees. i dont know if they even have hardees commercials anymnore outisde the midwest as it is something different. but here it is a monotone asshole talking about how macho it is eat hardees. then at the end he goes. new. at hardees.
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.

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.
All I have to say is
"Im thiiiiiiinking of a number."
ARG I HATE THAT COMMERCIAL.
lmao... can you guess what its? it's 720 and it just happens to be my credit score...Quote:

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

Berries and cream

I hated that commercial
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.
good lord. That commercial was physically painful.Quote:

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?"
Head On!
Apply directly to the forehead!

Maybe they will come up with something for hemmohroids?

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.
I think the caveman ones are decent but i agree with ya that the show will probably be lame.
