I'm just sitting here, minding my own business waiting for the show to come back and I see a commercial. It starts off with riot police facing a huge angry mob. All of a sudden a guy runs up and hits a cop with a bag looking thing... a pillow. Then, everyone busts out pillows and it's a giant fucking pillow fight between riot police and apparently the whole city block along with an angry mob. A pillow fight.

What is it advertising?
Vodka.

That's kind of stupid. What brand of vodka was it?

Anyway, remember the old commercials for Calvin Klein's Obsession?

you know the one I hate (and yes, I will keep posting it until they quit airing it, and yes I did write the company........no response)

it's that drain cleaner one

"what does this look like?"
"water"
"doesn't water go right down the drain?"
"yeah! so how is it 'grabbing the clog'?!"

:headbang:

I have been able lately to suppress my reaction, which is to yell at the TV

"IF WATER GOES RIGHT DOWN YOUR DRAIN YOU DON'T HAVE A CLOG!"

freaks.

That's kind of stupid. What brand of vodka was it?

Absolut.

Cilit Bang. Barry Scott does not need to shout that cheerfully loud.

Absolut.

That shit's as bad as Smirnoff.

It was for some brownish alcohol that wasn't beer. It was going on and on about character.

Basically, the first time I saw it ("What is character? Is it something undefinable?) I ended one of the guy's sentences with "Mr. Anderson."

It fit rather well.

Was Calvin Klein behind 'Egoiste' as well? That one was plain strange...

I'm not sure this qualifies as a commercial that doesn't make sense, but I found it bizarre nonetheless. I can't even recall what it was advertising... I think some sort of headache remedy, where they say 'APPLY DIRECTLY TO FOREHEAD' about 20 times during the add.

APPLY DIRECTLY TO FOREHEAD!

APPLY DIRECTLY TO FOREHEAD!

APPLY DIRECTLY TO FOREHEAD!

I've only seen it once, and met one other person who's seen it.

(apply directly to forehead)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eA5Imj2GBss

so im watching tv, not paying much attention because its an ad, when i notice that its an ad for a men's deodorant that wont leave residue on your clothing--which it it demonstrating in its own window, but in the background there are tanned women in bikinis running up the beach. there was NO connection between the 2. just a white drying stripe and women running on the beach.

they think men are morons.

I remeber that one for some engish language lessons, with the grandpa and his kids in the car, listening to some song who's lyrics were "I want to fuck you in the arse, I want to fuck you in the arse". However, I can't find that video.

I don't know what exactly the product is but they keep having this 40 odd woman with a southeren drawl saying "I hadn't had this smonking hot body since college." NO, you're not. you're annoying and stupid.

And what the hell is up with those BOD commercials. Is this payback for the sexist ads of women the past fifty years, And they think media just gives them a bad self-image:(

And in every commercial there is a woman in a skimpy bikini who is just PLEASED to see some strange hormonal guy who wants to perv on her.

:mad:

So they say men are super-horny morons, and women are basically whores who enjoy men perving on them.

and since every man knows from painful first hand experience that women ARENT whores who enjoy men perving on them, who buys this idea?

i imagine a nice pakistani boy, fresh off the boat and ready for some infidel ass. he has no idea how to let the blonde american whores know that he is ready for action until he sees the axe ad....

an hour later he is sitting at a bar REEKING of axe and ordering zima on the rocks.

meh it's really an either/or thing i guess

commercials have two purposes. 1) is to convince you that their item/product/service is best. and 2) to push the company name.

so all those stupid commercials are probably more focused on #2.

I'm suing the company that made Axe. Stupid misleading commercials.....

*walks off, mumbling to himself*

there are products that I will NEVER buy, because the commercial annoyed me so much

the Dodge Neon was one of those. I don't even know if they make that car anymore, but the commercial annoyed me beyond belief, that even if someone delivered one free to my driveway, I'd make them take it back.

The head on commercials are like that too...even though I suffer from severe, chronic migraines...I just can't bring myself to buy it.

I have a few friends that teach junior high and they say that the place is thick with the smell of Axe body spray. There's a body spray out, I can't remember the name, that takes the opposite, well, not opposite, but more reserved approach. It's a hot chick in kinda sexy but businessy atire who starts off (among other ads) far from the camera telling the camera, "I don't want to smell your body spray from here," moves closer, "Or here," moves closer, "Or even here." Then she leans into the camera and says, "I want to smell you...from right here," then walks off. Sort of a counter to the 'shower yourself in this crap and women will flock to you like it's the bachae (or however that's spelled) but a good kind."

I'm pretty sick of the Red Bull commercials. Is it me, or are some of them vaguely disturbing?

Yeah, but I find her highly annoying. "...but an air of confidence? Why, I'd have to get really close up for that."

Get a life, lady.

A list of non-sensical commercials that anger me? I'd be happy to share.

1)The Head-On commercials, before they started making fun of themselves.
2)The Honda Fit commercials. No, Honda, the Fit is not go.
3)Subway Dinner Theatre. Subway is under permanent boycott from me for that one.
4)All Axe Bodyspray commercials, and essentially any commercial that thinks there's a positive correlation between my willingness to buy their product from an ad and the proximity they put a scantily clad woman to their product in that ad.
5)That women's sanitary pad commercial where the Uma Therman looking girl(maybe it really is Uma Thermon?) leaps 20 feet into the air and uses the pad to collect all the water spewing out of the nearby water-tower. Okay, it's absorbant, I surrender!
6)More of a genre than one commercial, but here goes - the tendency for men in commercials to be portrayed as buffoons and imbeciles. Little gets me riled as much as the reverse sexism we permit in our media.
7)That commercial with the brunette talking seductively into the camera in a diatribe that ends with - 'you know what really separates the men from the boys? I do.' I can't imagine it selling anything effectively, a theory reinforced by the fact that I have absolutely no memory of what, in fact, it was selling.
8)Pop-Tarts commercials. First of all, that minimalist animation style really bothers me. Honestly my little cousins could draw better than that, so I know an actual cartoonist should be able to give me better. No, it's not 'hip' or 'edgy' or 'in touch with the youth demographic'... it's just bad animation. Not to mention the commercial's plots themselves are shit.
9)The US Goverment's Above the Influence campaign. Granted, they're fighting an uphill battle by trying to convince American teenagers a substance only midly harmful to them is much more dangerous, but these commercials are so bad I'm beginning to think they're the product of an undercover pro-marijuanna agent. Same complaints about the art, but the plots are even less relevant and more bizzare than poptarts commercials. A guy losing his girlfriend to an alien because he's smoking weed? ... really? I sometimes wonder why we're losing Iraq, then I remember the same government prosecuting that war thought these commercials were a good idea, and I understand. Then get simultaneously worried and sad.

Sometimes I sit around and wonder how these commercials could have been pitched to a room of business savvy executives, and everyone agreeing it's a good idea to spend thousands of dollars putting it on the air.

Yeah, but I find her highly annoying. "...but an air of confidence? Why, I'd have to get really close up for that."

Get a life, lady.

Yeah but if she convinces pubescent kids to ease back on the spray and leave at least a little in the can then more power to her...

God, I hate that little judgmental prick of a dog. And did they really pull that "I could quit any time" "why don't you quit now?" crap? Fuck you, dude. Quit eating pancakes.

I think my all-time favorite commercial for sheer WTF-ness has to be the herbal supplement ad where a woman says, "They're giving it away for free? It MUST be good!"

It's people, PEOPLE!!!

I don't get this commercial but I like the song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ7pGMfVNVg

she's reproducing with some kind of spores or something

Yeah but if she convinces pubescent kids to ease back on the spray and leave at least a little in the can then more power to her...

I wish they could beam her straight to their eyeballs and bypass mine. If I have to hear her breathy repetitiveness ONE more time I will have to go 100% straight, and nobody wants that. :p

they're really dum

Agreed!

I dislike the Dow Chemical "Human Element" line of advertising, and wonder exactly what they are trying to accomplish with it.

Oh man, there are these alcohol commercials where there is this rich black guy with poofy hair talking about how rich he is in an extremely snobby and condecending voice. Thats all that the commercial is, a rich guy laughing and talking about being rich. I cant think of what its advertising (the advert failed miserably) but its sooo annoying. I want to reach through the screen and strangle him, not try to emulate him.

Ugh, I am so sick of those commercials! If Sonic's hamburgers weren't vastly superior to those of any other fast food chain, I'd stop eating there in protest of the stupidity of those ads.

so im watching tv, not paying much attention because its an ad, when i notice that its an ad for a men's deodorant that wont leave residue on your clothing--which it it demonstrating in its own window, but in the background there are tanned women in bikinis running up the beach. there was NO connection between the 2. just a white drying stripe and women running on the beach.

Linky please? *is a moron* :p

Tanqueray gin. Best gin in the world. Too bad about the comercials :(

LOL you should be posting on NSG *nods*

God, I hate that little judgmental prick of a dog. And did they really pull that "I could quit any time" "why don't you quit now?" crap? Fuck you, dude. Quit eating pancakes.

No shit. Fucking awful commercials. "Gee, my dog won't like me if I smoke weed. Better quit now." I don't smoke weed, so I'm not angry at the anti-weed message, but the stupidity of those commercials kind of pisses me off.

Surprised noone's mentioned the Enzyte adverts yet...

Axe, Tag, and Bod commercials all have a special place of hatred in my heart. Nothing quite like degrading both genders to sell a product.

I dislike the Dow Chemical "Human Element" line of advertising, and wonder exactly what they are trying to accomplish with it.

It's better for their image than advertizing napalm and agent organge.

All I remember is that it was for Gin. I found the first one kind of funny(I believe it had an old man sculpting an ice cube into a perfect cube). After that, it just got OLD, and fast.

The Tanqueray gin commercials. They are kind of annoying. The dude acts like you should recognize him or something. Fuck that. I drink Bombay Sapphire.

Could they say "Stick it up your @$$!"?

There used to be adverts for a pain creme called "Aspercreme"

The tag line was You bet your sweet As-percreme

Lasted about a week before they had to change it.

Tanqueray gin. Best gin in the world. Too bad about the comercials :(

I disagree about the gin. I agree with you on the commercials though.

Don't know if anyone's mentioned it yet but....

The two younger boys are free to watch TV. But we've found that they have limited the time, because there's nothing worth watching.

Absolutely, shoot everyone in it or near it. I pretty much hate anyone who acts cheerful in adverts, expecially if they're loud aswell, Barry Scott from the Cillit Bang adverts, urgh. Why don't they have more advers directed at those bitter at life?

It requires having cable.

It requires having cable.

We have cable, so we can have an Internet connection.

We just don't buy any channels beyond basic cable.

And we lock out Disney, Nick, and Cartoon Network.

That explains why they don't watch TV that much.

It also explains why they have a lot of other things they would rather do, aren't obese, and do extremely well in school.

Let me repeat "it requires having cable."

Disney, Nick and Cartoon Network? Why?

Our kids grew up with only on-air broadcast channels and without video games. It's remarkable how little that affected their lives, i.e. they are all college grads, all gainfully employed, and all firmly embrace the Libertarian philosophy of small government and personal responsibility.

I think I know why the participants on NSG are the whiners and slackers that they are.

Disney, Nick and Cartoon Network? Why?
Because they might want to watch cartoons as opposed to brain melting FOX News pundit dribble.

Ah yes, the Libertarian philosophy, something to aspire to :rolleyes:
Libertarian philosophy in support of the current Republicans over the Democrats even more so :rolleyes:

Yes, Libertarian, because if you're counting on the government to help you, you give up individual freedom for every cent of help.

The news channels are also locked out. So the kids don't watch Fox (and neither do I).

Definitely preferable to waiting for the cop to come save you from the criminal, the city to come save you from the rising flood waters, the state to save you from the high price of gasoline, or the federal government to save you from poverty in your old age.

Yeah, I'm glad we raised them to be self-reliant and resourceful.

Well you can go one way or the other. I go to the "stop artificially tying the government's hands because we are afraid of socialism and just managing to make everything worse" side.

Like that.

But we are afraid of the results of Socialism. We redistribute enough of our wealth as it is. Why encourage legislators to do more damage than they have already done?

Somehow this nation became the most successful nation on earth, in spite of it's rampant Capitalism. I'd rather see how much greater we can become, instead of settling into the mediocrity that envelopes much of the Socialist world.

Ah yes, let's revert to that. Men, women, and children working 16 hour days in horrible working conditions for some one who doesn't give a shit.

Works okay today for anyone that wants to run their own business. It's not all about clock watching, but on the basis of your vast experience, you know best.

Because of course some one with a small business is a big corporation and are allowed to work their young children in hard, dangerous jobs in squalid working conditions.

Totally not proving to me that Libertarians arn't still crackpots.

Not my problem. My kids turned out well, I don't know where your parents failed you.

Wow, can you really hijack your own thread like this?

I hate this car advert. New Kia Cee'd:

Why? Where? When? Why? How? When? Where? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTU861LO0gE)


Also, as an added bonus.

Banned German Coffee commercial:

Be prepared for a shock. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5vT_rjDCI0)

Don't watch it if you have heart problems.

The first one: That is the most pointless 30 seconds of advertising I have ever seen.

The second one: YIKES! I can understand why they banned it, it'd be bad for people with heart problems, as you've said.

Wow, can you really hijack your own thread like this?

Welcome to NSG.

The news channels are also locked out. So the kids don't watch Fox (and neither do I).
So what channels haven't you locked out? CSPAN, Gameshow Network and the QVC?

It also explains why they have a lot of other things they would rather do, aren't obese, and do extremely well in school.

Haha, wow. You blaim that on cartoons?

Haha, wow. You blaim that on cartoons?
Yeah, he blames it on something that has been on tv for 60 years.

I hate the splenda advert where they go :

"its made form sugar , tastes like sugar , looks like sugar , but its not!"


It looks just like super ground sugar , and it quiet obviously is sugar :headbang:
I really hate that advert.

So what channels haven't you locked out? CSPAN, Gameshow Network and the QVC?

QVC is full of mind warping violence.
