showing my age greatly, but that old Tab commercial, I wish it would go into reruns. Hey, why don't more commercials go into reruns?

I'd like to see whoever made those "Funny Jokes on Your Phone" (or whatever the hell they are advertising) slowly tortured over hot coals while being forced to listen to their own soul-crushing voices. I swear, a little part of me dies everytime I see those damned annoying smiley faces bouncing around that damned annoying text while that damned annoying voice says things in its damned annoying way.
Did I mention that the commercial is damned annoying? Of course the worst part is the awkward way it is put together, its like it was done by an amateur without even minimal experience in creating an advertisement or attracting people's attention.

It’s not original or anything. I paraphrased it from a commedy routine by Jeff Foxworthy.

Yeast infection commercials

And sanitary pad adverts, too. Just when you're eating your dinner you get a sob story about how somebody's weak bladder stopped them living their life to the full, a problem they have now solved with the aid of Nap-ee sanitary pads.

I hate those commercials for herpes medication. They make having an STD look like so much fun. I swear, I almost want to get herpes or syphillis so I too can go mountain climbing, skydiving, whitewater rafting, win the lottery, leap tall buildings in a single bound, etc.

The one commercial I hate more than anything though, is that AllState commercial where the lady is in the parking garage and discovers her car's been stolen. Then that Denzel Washington-wannabe loser has the nerve to stand next to her, babbling on about car insurance for what seems like eternity. I watch that and I think, you prick, why didn't you try to prevent this lady's car from being stolen in the first place? Instead of prattling on about AllState, why didn't you chase the car burglar away or at least call the police? That stupid jerk. I hope somebody steals him and then the only witness to the crime is standing there talking about...how much fun STDs are!

worst
the Jack-in-the-Box commercials where they show the leader of Jack-in-the-Box going about his life with a giant antenna ball covering his entire head. He forces his kid to wear one too.

Those stupid "Ranch Tooth" commercials for whatever idiot fgast-food franchise is it is. ARGH! Its SO stupid!


I actually like Prescription Drugs ads, because I like to do my own voiceover of the side-effects list, somewhat like Foxworthy's skit:

"May cause nausea, vomitiong, exploding eyeballs, and the need for anal bypass surgery. In some cases, a questioning of ones own existence and the urge to run through the streets naked and screaming "Oh my God, its burning!" may manifest. Other side effects may include chronic nose-picking, dilated pupils, the mistaken belief you have the ability to fly, chronic flatulence, the desire to throw manure at Mormons and persistent smell of fried onions leaking from your pores.

If these or any other side effects occour, find a shotgun immediately and place it in mouth. Drug Manufacturer not responsible for what happens when you pull the trigger."


Of course I say this all at a pace of about 300 words per minute.

You mean the ones where they're like, "And XXXXX will stop your constipation immediately."

Then later:

"But has a good chance to cause nosebleeds, appendicitis, heart problems, genital swelling, ... etc."

I swear if I hear anymore college adverts I will scream.. sheesh I'm already in university.. if I could only block those out or something.

And a friend directed me to a site with some funny commercials from the 80s..

I saw a show about Eddie Antar on CourtTV, and how he scammed millions.. but still his TV commercials are kinda ridiculous. Anybody old enough to remember these? I'm too young.

Anyof those shown at Christmas time with the polar bears drinking Coca-Cola and licking thier lips and smacking afterwards. Nothing against polar bears, but licking of lips and smacking are pet-peeves of mine.

Oh and the ones with the ultra annoying man ,in the siut with the question marks on it, selling a book to instruct people how to get tax breaks from the government. Might be a useful book, if anyone could sit through the commercial long enough to see how to order it.
