Title: Commercials that suck (or rock)
Post by: BP on April 23, 2005, 04:24:53 PM
Hate: Any Old Navy commercial besides "History?!" and any Ovaltine commercial.
Like: The Old Navy "No way! History?! I love history!" and the 1/2 mint "EIGHT CUPCAKES!!!" Oreo commercial.

I don't like Ovaltine commercials, either. Not because I don't like Ovaltine, TEM. I just perfer other things.

Anyway, the people in Ovaltine commercials are obviously doing it for the money. On another note, I don't watch enough TV to really think of any. The only other commercial I remeber liking was for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Like: Those Quiznos rat things. They crack me up.
The Extra commercials with the Scottish gum.
Some car commercial or another that has a salesman explaining the car's features, right in the potential customer's face.
"Yeah. You're like an inch away from my face, and it is REALLY creepin' me out."

Dislike: The commercials selling a diet suppliment called "Cortisol" or something similar. The guy talking has been dubbed and his mouth doesn't quite match up to his voice.
McDonalds commercials.

you, and helping you be as successful as possible."

Oh yeah! The Quiznos rat things are Sponge Monkeys. Go to www.rathergood.com and click "we like the moon" for more. But beware... rathergood isn't the cleanest website if you know what I mean. "We like the moon" is perfectly clean and hilarious, though.

They should put me on an Ovaltine commercial. It would be so effective they would make millions.

Hate: All of them. I'd rather be watching my shows. Nuff' said.

1) Aren't they called "Spungmonkeys?" Something like that.

2) TEM, that would be awesome.

3) I can't believe I forgot the McDonalds commercials... I have a very strong ability to forget things on command, though. I hate them enough to force them out of my head.

I can't freakin' stand the new freakin' McDonalds commercial about freakin' the dog and freakin' the cat. And all the Burger King commercials. I would NOT accept a sandwich from a freakin' freak in a freakin' King suit outside the window.
But, the PMTTYD commercial got the attention of a lot of people--a few guys at school said they wish they had GameCubes (Idiots these days at least have a sense of regret) to play it!

All the Burger King commercials featuring the King himself are awesomely awesome.

I like the DQ commercials, they got some funny ones.

Love:
- The hp commercial where the guy is sitting in his room holding up picture outlines to his face and they immediately become pictures and he lip-syncing to that song that's playing. It's hard to describe, maybe someone else can do a better job.
- The Nutri Grain "I Feel Great" Commercial. I've only seen it online though. It's hilarious.

Hate:
- Car commercials. They never seem very interesting.
- Most other commercials

Markio, that was a good one.

I don't like most car commercials either, but liked the one where a guy's car is very old and rusted then he takes of the car cover.

I guess I most like Geico comercials, especially when they pretend they're advertisng for soemthing else. I really like that soap opera-like commerial.

I don't really ahte any other commerials or like them

The songe monkeys or whatever they were freaked me out, voice and all. I agree with someone said on VH1's "Best Year Ever" "They aren't cute, they're what you see before you die!"

Yeah, RP. That picture commercial was cool. Oh, did anyone see the new one where the guy's family comes to work with him and sits behind the frames? That one's good.
There's this new pasta sauce one where the cat knocks the pot over and the guy picks the cat up while holding the cleaver, and it looks like he killed the cat when the wife comes in!

Oh yeah, those Geico commercials where they pretend to be advertising something else at first are good. The hair-loss prevention one tricks me almost everytime.

Oh yeah, I also like that insurance commercial that is exactly like a Home Depot commercial showing some people installing a fan and then they turn it on and the house goes up in flames.

I like the anti-drug commercials because they aren't as stupid as most commercials, plus they're serious, which is like a whole new development in commercial technology!

I like the Hicthhiker's Guide to the Galaxy how to make a movie trailer trailer.   To see it go to http://hitchhikers.movies.go.com/index.html and click "VIEW THE TRAILER" on the left.  What the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has to say about trailer is "TRAILER 3".

Yeah. Tiny House. I wish that were a real reality TV show. I'd love it!!! But sadly, it's only a Geico commercial.
Once I saw a Geico commercial: It was a news flash about an erupting volcano and the newscaster says, "But the good news is, I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico!"

I completely despise the annoying COX Communications commercial that starts with the man saying "Very funny, Satelite TV...". That commercial is as annoying as Bob Saget.

Bog Saget, Bag Saget, or Bob Saget?

Anyway, Geico commercials rock.

Tiny House = <3

Blow'd Up is my favorite commercial ever, though.

Oh yeah, I laughed so hard when I first saw that at your site.  "This summer everything, yes everything, is getting... blow'd up!" *latrene explodes*  Of all places, I never should have watched that in a library!  What was I thinking?!  I sure hope someone make a music video of that with clips from that commercial and music from your song.

Anywer, I’m bumping this thread because I just remembered something pretty funny.  My most favorite recent commercial is a Toys R< Us one.  It starts out normal enough.  A mom comes home from shopping and calls up to her kids to let them know that she’s home with the toys (why she got them I don’t know).  The kids come running out from their rooms and head for the stairs.  Suddenly and strangely, the dad pops out of his room and comes charging in behind them to get the toys first.  You’d think this would be funny enough but they don’t stop there.  Since his kids are ahead of him and there’s no way he can get around them, he does the stupidest thing and jumps over the railing.  He lands on a little table next to the wall, knocks it over and crashes to the floor and breaking some stuff, and then he jumps up and grabs the bag from the mom and runs away yelling “mine!”.  I think I laughed out loud for half a minute before I could get a grip.  You had to see it.  Holy cow.

Darn. I can't remember what exactly the product is, but I think it's some kind of camera/MP3 player. So anyway, all these people are dancing, including these two really old people (and when I say dancing, I mean like break dancing). Then at the very end this little kid is doing these sick moves... Oh man it's awesome.
