yea that's what makes it so funny.
i also like the washington mutual commercial where they market their "honesty" and show that guy making an ass of himself in all these different scenes. like the one where he walks into an office meeting and he's like, "hey guys, sorry i'm late...i had a job interview".
hahaha

Cry me a river.
All these women's hair/makeup adverts, they're so stupid and generic - they all follow the same formula. Some ok-looking (preferably famous) woman posing with bad-looking hair/skin/whatever, some fancy graphics with some bullshit statistics being read out. Like that "30 degree curl" eyelash thing, wtf? how can a curved shape be measured in degrees? or 'your hair will have 55% more volume' - what exactly is volume anyway and how is it measured - and maybe some fancy, half made-up words ('volumising?'). So what do these statistics and words mean? Well, nothing. The point is that they're hoping the intended audience are impressed by the use of fancy words and scientific sounding statistics, regardless of what they really mean.
Then they'll have the woman with over-exaggeratedly better looking hair/skin/whatever, looking much happier and maybe having a laugh with their friends or pulling some guy at a club. The worst ones are the Lorael 'Because you're worth it' slogan that make me cringe every time I hear them say it...
So yeah, these adverts are annoying.
lets not forget everyone's favorite commercial...
hahahah that one was weird!
i love commercials. i watch them more than the shows. the shows are crap these days. commercials are entertaining.
this is one of my current favorites. it's very moving
i started a thread about it a while back.

Advertising has been getting steadily worse for over a decade, and it wasn't very good to begin with. I guess that's what you get when you pay a bunch of people too stupid to learn a useful occupation to create your advertisements.

Bring back some of the creative commercials (alla the old Volkswagon commercial where a cart goes to the car and the guy runs and tackles it).
Just like you have shit movies & music, etc, you'll have the down of commercials. Unfortunate but true. There are some really damn good commercials out there, unfortunatly none are for the major companies which we see so often. Mcdonalds & etc should start to take note.
JaY
Commercials bother me more now than they did before I spent 3 yrs in business in College. I know all the tricks they use now and some companies are just so blatant.
the Harvey's (in Canada)'s voice over guy with his MMMMMMM meat from the grill
the mazda zoom zoom guy needs a smack
but if it annoys you, it must be working because you remember the damn commercial.
Nothing beats the Jack in the Box commercial with the boy band advertising the Ultimate Cheeseburger. Advertising at its best. Period.
commercial with the animated fighters talking with a generic asian accent (is there such a thing?)
a commercial I don't mind is the starburst commercial where that guy looks at the baby and he's eating a starburst at the same time so he frowns and he makes the baby cry. a normal chinese family, speaking MANDARIN (not some kind of fake ching chong language), in a REALISTIC setting
oh yeah, and im offended by all late night talk shows that get cheap laughs with OLD asian jokes
oh yeah, also the aussie hair products commercial where in caption it says (techno version of of (whatever the classical song was called) and clearly it was NOT techno
im not chinese
i just reported you btw
EDIT: UMW just posted a message that said "do you ever post anything that refers to your heritage" and then deleted it, racist mod?
Yeah, it's because I'm racist.
Report me all you want. I was reading through the humorous posts in the thread and forgot that the title was 'offended by commercials' so I realized it was a stupid post and removed it.
My apologies.
Agreed.

Look, I don't know what your problem is. You think everyone here is a racist. I realized my comment didn't belong in this particular thread so I removed it.
no more then 4 people here are racist
i already have the other THREE on ignore, you unfortunately aren't ignorable
GAP has the best commercials, so do beer ones, food commercials are boring
Okay that's enough of calling me racist. Enjoy another suspension.
PM other mods I don't care.
Today I first saw this commercial, and read about it. IMO it's quite a quality commercial, just look at this:

| New Honda commercial in the UK. Very important that you understand: There are no computer graphics or digital tricks in the film. Everything you see really happened in real time exactly as you see it. The film took 606 takes. On the first 605 takes, something, usually very minor, didn't work. They would then have to set the whole thing up again. The crew spent weeks shooting night and day. The film cost six million dollars and took three months to complete including a full engineering of the sequence. In addition, it's two minutes long so every time Honda airs the film on British television, they're shelling out enough dough to keep any one of us in clover for a lifetime. Honda executives figure the ad will soon pay for itself simply in "free" viewings (Honda isn't paying a dime to have you watch this commercial!). When the ad was pitched to senior executives, they signed off on it immediately without any hesitation � including the costs. There are six and only six hand-made Accords in the world. To the horror of Honda engineers, the filmmakers disassembled two of them to make the film. Everything you see in the film (aside from the walls, floor, ramp, and complete Honda Accord) are parts from those two cars. When the ad was shown to Honda executives, they liked it and commented on how amazing computer graphics have gotten. They fell off their chairs when they found out it was for real. |
can't we all just get along?
