I swear, there are some commercials where I yell at my TV about how stupid they are.

1) Geico caveman commercials.....get over it. Not funny anymore. You know why your series lasted one or two episodes? Because it's not funny.
2) Geico "pile of money with eyes"....too random. The best Geico commercials used to be the black and white drawings of the man that would do something and accidentally hurt himself. Like push a button and the cannon shot him in the face.
3) Wild wings. Where the ref asks them to determine the instant replay outcome. WHAT TRUE F-ING FAN WOULD WANT THE GAME TO GO INTO OVERTIME. NO YOU F*CKING IDIOT. IT'S A TOUCHDOWN. WE WIN.
4) Any medical commercial where everyone is at a party but they are discussing a complete accurate description of potential side effects of birth control. Seriously? You know those advil you just popped? Quick, what are the side effects? Yeah, that's right. No one knows. So stupid.

There are thousands more, and there may even be a thread on this but I didn't take the time to search.

What are some of your absolute worst TV and/or radio commercials?

One word: BEAP

10/27/2009 9:30:12 AM

The Brita commercial that ends with water being poured into a bottle.

I'm sure thats clean water and all, but it sounds like piss.

10/27/2009 9:39:36 AM

The at&t commercial w/ Hansblow may be the worst I've seen.

10/27/2009 9:58:49 AM

I like the caveman commercials.

But Mark Jacobson and TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAO TAO SUZUKI OF FUQUAY-VARINA have a special place in hell set aside just for them.

10/27/2009 10:11:38 AM

that pothole commercial

10/27/2009 12:15:11 PM

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeendrick - I like it like that.

The Ford "Beep Beep" commercial - pretty much any car commercial they spam twice per commercial. The beep beep one in particular.

Any commercial with amplified keyboard and mouse sounds. Grates my nerves.

Any commercial with amplified food crunching noises. Hardee's being the prime culprit. Juicy hamburger? Sounds like people are taking a bite out of a bag of broken glass.

Those last two are really just pet peeves.

I still like the caveman commercials...they aren't as funny as they started out, but I chuckle. And the series can be considered irrelevant because the writers were different as I recall

This is the best commercial ever:

^^^That one is nothing compared to the Flea Market Montgomery.

6 of 13 episodes aired.

The guy who came up with the whole "so easy a caveman could do it" wrote several of the episodes, and was the show's co-executive producer. The same guy is the consulting producer for Modern Family now. He's had a hand in writing a few of those episodes too.

10/27/2009 1:38:53 PM

Then I stand somewhat corrected

Concerning the flea market commercial, I must disagree. While I think that it's a very good commercial, and the narrator is indeed apt in comparing his flea market to a mini mall, I feel it's a bit too long sometimes, which is why I prefer Eastern Motors. I can watch it far more times without getting bored of it.

10/27/2009 1:49:38 PM

i like the geico pile of money with eyes and the pothole

10/27/2009 2:05:53 PM

F-R-E-E

THAT SPELLS FREE

CREDIT REPORT DOT COM, BABY

10/27/2009 2:11:24 PM

Hardee's Thickburger/Jr. commercials. All they do is change the text/audio. The entire thing would take a minute to fix up in Powerpoint, and they can just keep cranking them out. Plus, they always play them back to back.

Obligatory: "Head-On. Apply directly to forehead" and its little brother "I hate your commercials, but I love your product."

Using how many times you watch it as the metric of quality is neglecting the vast disparity in lengths, though. You could watch Eastern Motors 8 times, and you'd still have received less enjoyment (time-wise) than having watched Flea Market twice.


As for worst commercials... basically any of them that have about the same production values and content as an internet sidebar ad:

freetriplescore.com
FINALLY FAST DOT COM! MY COMPUTER IS FAST... FINALLY!
Something similar to finally fast, but about viruses
Some bullshit with customer testimonies about how they won a free Xbox just from taking surveys

my wife hates the sheetz commercial, but i kinda like that one for some reason.

any commercial that shows a patient sitting in a doctor's actual office discussing some drug. that shit never happens. more like you getting a brief rundown with your pants around your ankles

10/27/2009 3:39:10 PM

i went on the internet, and found education
CUH NECK SHUNNNN

10/27/2009 3:40:15 PM

It would probably be more effective to do a commercials you like thread.

10/27/2009 3:41:46 PM

effective at what? there's like 5 commercials out there that i don't mind seeing, otherwise they just interrupt my shows

10/27/2009 3:48:48 PM

GET A DVR
Cause commercials suck

10/27/2009 3:50:25 PM

90 percent of these commercials run during football games, and you can't dvr football games, unless you want to be a faggot

10/27/2009 3:58:12 PM

i meant it would be more effective to list the ads that dont suck than try to create a list of all the ones that do (hint: its all of them).

10/27/2009 3:59:20 PM

Well, in that case, I like almost all infomercials, the Caveman commercials, most Heineken commercials, and the Christ Berman Applebee's commercial

10/27/2009 4:06:14 PM

the local scrap yard commercial with the hot chick

10/27/2009 4:10:52 PM

the only commercial i can think of that i at all like, is the one for windows 7 with the little girl... and only for her saying "snappy and... repon-ka-slive"

for some reason that cracks me up.

10/27/2009 4:15:22 PM

"repon-ka-slive"

I can't even tell what this word is supposed to be.

10/27/2009 5:00:00 PM

That Heinekin commercial where all they do is scream.

10/27/2009 5:26:56 PM

Crossroads Ford in Cary. Fuck that guy and fuck that place.

10/27/2009 5:43:36 PM

did you watch the commercial? at the time she's saying that, the screen says "snappy and responsive".... i figured it was pretty clear what word she was trying to say....

10/27/2009 6:20:40 PM

Hansbrough's Subaru commercial

Any security system where a bad guy is warded off by a helpless screaming woman and a loud audio tone followed by the promise of swift police response.



OTOH, there is this commercial:

10/27/2009 6:54:42 PM

That new Blackjack Taco commercial is godawful.

10/27/2009 7:10:47 PM

"My computer used to be fast, really fast! But now its only kinda fast".
"My computer is fast. Finally!" : Dramatic pause : " FinallyFast.com!"

And then those game testing career commercials on G4TV that glamorize software testing. LOL what a fucking BS lie.

Something about the ESPN commercials drive me fucking crazy! It's just that they are so dry it feels like nails down a chalkboard. Especially when you spend your Saturday watching the same 4 commercials over ....and over....... and over........ . The only exception is Saint Bernard. Who dat? Drew Breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees! Oh yeah

10/27/2009 10:25:25 PM

I hate the latest Miracle Whip commercial. Bitches who look that good are probably not smothering their food with mayonnaise.

In fact, as a rule of thumb any commercial where hot womenz are eating food I'd eat annoy me.

10/27/2009 10:28:49 PM

^yeah Colbert parodied the fake-rebelliousness aspect of that commercial a couple weeks ago. and it was at least as good as the original.

10/27/2009 10:32:11 PM

Good point. The pseudo-rebelliousness also annoys me.

10/27/2009 10:35:01 PM
