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

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.

It was a lame remix of Khachaturian's "Sabre Dance"

Why the hell do I know what commercial you were talking about?

I'm gonna go stick my head in the toilet for remembering a cosmetics commercial.

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

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:

quote:

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.
