TV Commercials You Hate

[ChrisL]

How about that simpering jerk who claims his website guarantees you will find your "march for life"?

March for life? What is that? Maybe you meant match . . .

Damn new keyboard is driving me nuts!!!!!

Lol. Sounded like some kind of protest "March for Life."

Even though I am part of the target audience, the Viagra commercials - especially the one with the semi-sexy middle-aged lady - drive me nuts.

And I really don't understand the caution about the four-hour Woodie. What do you do with it for the first three hours and 59 minutes? Play ring-toss? And it says go IMMEDIATELY to the emergency room for an erection lasting four hours. I think I would have to jump the gun on that one. I'd be getting ready after about half an hour.

Ironically............I use Viagra and it works wonders. The old commercials with the wives looking like they are high on something...it's no joke.

Adult diapers and female nether regions... Does this really sell product? Just saw a commercial where a woman has her dress hiked up showing her pantie, while the narrator informs the viewer that they are seeing an adult undergarment. Ok... I guess it is better than an old guy pulling his pants down at the sides to prove he isn't wearing his jockeys no more.

Depend - Briefs Underwear Guards Shields Seat Bed Protectors
There's a bunch of Depends commercials here:
depends commercial - YouTube
Don't see the one I saw on T.V. lately tho.

Free Samples Flushable Wipes - Dare a Friend to Go Commando Cottonelle



Hmmm. Me thinks the two commercials should maybe run together since the one sells butt wipes. Too funny.

I wouldn't say that I hate them because I get why they were made in the first place, but I can't stand to see certain commercials about what smoking physically does to a person.

God bless you always!!!

P.S. I'd like to know how effective they have been so far if at all though, but of course that is something that we may never know.

I believe the tobacco companies voluntarily ceased broadcast advertising because if they didn't, American Cancer Society or whoever it was, was going to run those graphic ads. They in effect forfeited the game rather than compete with that.

Just wait...with Cuban relations supposedly getting better I bet cigar commercials will be seen if not broadcast from Cuba!

Are you saying that even more graphic clips have been made compared to the ones that are already on TV?

God bless you always!!!

Holly

P.S. If yes, then to me, people who smoke are in serious need of help if what they have been shown so far is not enough to make them finally give it up.

They have been playing this commercial,and it a good one about lung cancer,a wife and her very sick and dieing husband are dancing,its rather sad,not sure why it bothers me ,but it does,I went through colon cancer last year ,before they were moving but I could watch them,not now,is it survivors guilt?

 

[Scorpion]

Any ED ad.
Two people in separate bathtubs holding hands in the woods by a lake. REALLY? ?

 

[NYcarbineer]

1. Those new SeaWorld commercials. Those two people creep me out and I'm not even sure why.

2. The PCmatic commercials.

3. Mesothelioma.

4. Any commercial that runs during a show that is a promotion for the show itself. WTF is the point?

 

[NYcarbineer]

Sue me for being off topic but I really like the Progressive Flo's family commercials where she plays all the characters.

 

[Pogo]

I'm pretty much an equal-opportunity commercial despiser. The most bizarre sight in the world is to see people watching TV (or listening to radio for that matter) --- and NOT hitting the mute button on the ads. It's like "HEY DO YOU NOT HEAR YOUR OWN DOG BARKING?" That the human psyche is even capable of that kind of adaptability is kind of scary.

As the saying goes, if you walked around talking to people the way commercials talk to people, they would punch you in the mouth.

I'm usually pretty good at tuning out commercials. A lot of times, if I do take notice, I don't even know what the commercial is for!

I like the one where she sings "I'll Stand By You" and then says "yeah!!!" and the lady she was singing to just looks at her and says "yeah." That strikes me funny for some reason.

Lol. Here is the commercial I'm talking about . . .

 

[Desperado]

Any drug commercial that requires a prescription. Are Americans really that sickly that it seems every other commercial is for a prescription drug?
Just thought of another commercial that makes me cringe, the new Dr Pepper with the little guy singing off key.

Did I miss it or did this thread go this far without a mention of the reverse mortgage scams? lol

One of my rules of thumb is, if the disclaimer is longer than the commercial itself, you might be wise not to try that product.

I've often wondered how they get the water in the tub.

 

[Bleipriester]

I actually like this commercial but there is no commercials you love thread.

 

[fbj]

This can be for any reason. Well one I think is ridiculous is the:
Breathe Right nasal strips.
Shut Your Mouth. This is one I am Sick Of Hearing. Does anyone use these things? Or should men(and I've had a girlfriend who denied snoring and I recorded her while she was) snore loud and proud?

The one with the guy saying he is never getting married and you see his life getting worse and worse LOL
