Subject: Commercials You Love And Hate

Written By: CatwomanofV on 11/15/14 at 2:53 pm

It has been a while since we had a commercial thread. So, which ones do you love, which ones do you hate?

The ones I love:

Subaru commercials. I think they all are great but I especially love the one with the old lady & little boy in the back seat and this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMl33cENeB4

-National Rent-A-Car with the guy who says "PURRRRFECT".  ;) :D ;D ;D ;D


This one cracks me up EVERY TIME!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7INIhD9P0Pw




Commercials I hate:

-Gieco-it doesn't matter which ones, the gekko, the pig, ALL OF THEM!!!! To be fair, the one where they said, "you make stupid decisions if you are in a horror flick" is kind of funny.

-Acura that plays My Way. So annoying that I mute the t.v. when it comes on.

I know there are more but this is a good start.

When I started reading this, the horror flick commercial came to mind. This is one of my favorites, especially when
the girl says, " Why can't we just get in the running car?"

Pretty much any Arby's ad of the past 5 years has been a 30-second visit to suckdom.  They can't seem to stick with one ad campaign for very long, and they keep doing stupid things with their logo.

They DID have one great ad when they did the "I'm Thinking Arby's" campaign.  They should have stuck with it, it was catchy:

We had Geico many, many moons ago. Bought a brand new car and about a month after we bought it, we were on the road and it was raining. We stopped at a restaurant as just as soon as we got inside the hail came down. I'm talking fist-size hail. Man, was the car beaten up. Broke the sunroof. Geico paid to have it repaired but raised our premium as if it was our fault that it hailed. We switched to State Farm. (Today we have USAA for our car & home and Progressive for our van but we are looking into getting USAA for the van, too.)

The Viagra ads where they show some old chick extolling the benefits of this elixir are starting to grate on me.  They all follow the same formula: some exotic chick (either exotic looking or with a foreign accent) talks about how Viagra helps men of a certain age get and keep (their emphasis) a woody.

Why don't they just have some dude come on and tell it like it is?  "Hey, I tried this Viagra and I wanted to and was able to hit anything in sight. Even the electric sockets looked tempting."

For the past few years John Lewis (department store in the UK) have done a cheesy Christmas special advert.  Its 'launch' is eagerly awaited by many.  It usually features a cover version of a popular song (often a capella or slower than the original).

This year's features a young girl spotting a lonely old man who lives on the moon and sending him a gift floated there on balloons.

Anyway, this isn't the commercial I love.

I love the Aldi Christmas ads that manage to include their "I like these ones... and I like these" catchphrase and take the mick out of the John Lewis ad by featuring the old guy on the moon!

This Arby's ad is still one of my all time favorites.  8)



Pretty much any Arby's ad of the past 5 years has been a 30-second visit to suckdom.  They can't seem to stick with one ad campaign for very long, and they keep doing stupid things with their logo.

They DID have one great ad when they did the "I'm Thinking Arby's" campaign.  They should have stuck with it, it was catchy:

The woman in this Chime commercial drives me crazy. She's barely understandable. She says she "boasts" to her co-workers that she got paid early, not exactly a way to make friends. Who does that? Not to mention, if you get paid "early" the same time every single pay period it's not 'early", it's just the time you get paid. She also speaks in an annoying combination of "uptalk" and "vocal fry", "I get my paycheck up to two days earrrrllllyyyy?". And what's up with that Halloween eye-makeup? Is that a thing now?  It seems that Chime has at least two other commercials with similarly dim-witted appearing young women, so one can only conclude it's the demographic they are going after.  ::)

I think Chime is trying to appeal to a segment of the low income population, and for some reason, a specifically female one. (All their commercials feature females). Notice her denim shirt, she is wearing a literal "blue collar". A not so subtle attempt at subluminal influencing.

The problem is, she gets her “pee check” two days early... just gives her a two day head start on blowing all her money.

And the “two days early” thing is not guaranteed. So the next remittance may not credit to her account early... meaning now she has a couple more days to have to wait for her “pee check”. And it’s not like she could then bum some money from her friends, because they’re all PO’d at her lording her early check over their heads.

Every year from November 1 - January 1 they keep this ad going and going and going.  And NO I don't like Michael Buble.  Every time I see this ad I just want to smash him in the face.  I don't buy things that involve a celebrity endorsement.
I don't know why I don't like Michael Buble.  He just rubs me the wrong way.  And I just wish that the Bubly sparkling water company had just chosen a better spokesperson but there's not much I can do about it except hitting the mute button on my remote control.

OK, here’s a commercial I can’t stand.  It is for Stars Casino, an online gambling site.

First you have the guy with the ridiculous man-bun, who tells his mother how much money he’s making whilst gambling. He’s then followed up by a guy who is convinced that the online casino is “something I need to be part of”. 

When I lived in the Midwest, when the casinos came in, their advertising was how you could become a “big shot” by gambling. Well, I had two co-workers who ruined their lives and ended up dead due to gambling addiction. So naturally I get frosted any time I see these ads. You play the casinos… you’re not a big shot. You’re not a player.  you’re going to be a loser. And the more you play, the more you lose.  My two coworkers lost it all. >:(

The other night I was walking through the break room at work and as I went past the TV, this commercial just happened to come on.

These commercials are REALLY getting my goat. They are for "Better Help" which seems to be some kind of online therapy service. These "depressed" people (presumably actual people) we are supposed to feel empathy with come across as insufferably smug (and a little creepy), and the "that's unhelpful" slogan comes across as insufferably condescending. I suspect "Better Help" is something of a scam anyway, but these commercials are intolerable. There seem to be millions of them, here are just two:

I HIW commercials rip off popular recorded music like that. Parodies are one thing, but to change part of the song and use it for commercial purposes, that just isn't right IMO. It kinda ruins the song in a way.

Then there’s the ad for Trelegy, a medicine/elixir that cures asthma. They took Michael Jackson’s “1-2-3” and butchered it all to heck:  ::)

You would have hated this commercial from the 1960s for 101 Cigarettes (yes, there were cigarette commercials on TV in those days. LOTS of them) that appropriates "La Bamba" as "a silly millimeter longer".

O-O-O-OZEMPIC!

I never really had strong feelings either for or against that song (Magic, by the 1970's band Pilot), but now I hate it.


I loved the song Magic when it first came out in the '70s and yeah, that commercial really killed the song.



I despise all ads for prescription drugs and think they should be banned from the airwaves.  >:(



Totally agree. There was a time when they were illegal. But they are a good excuse for Big Pharma to raise their prices claiming research when in fact it is advertising. I do laugh at all the side effects they list. Sometimes it sounds like the side effects are worse than whatever the drug is for.

-Non-Drowsy Allegra said that their side effect was drowsiness.

-The drug that is supposed to stop tremors caused by "mental health" drugs may cause "mental health" episodes. 


The one I can't stand is the one that uses vegetables-mainly carrots to describe an issue that some men have. And then they have to go on about what the treatment entails.  Does EVERYONE really need to know that?

This commercial may be annoyingly creepy, but it's ABOUT TIME somebody got this song right. You'd be amazed how many unaware people think this is a "romantic" song and use it for their weddings, anniversaries, etc. In fact it's one of the most popular for that kind of thing. How thick can people be?  ;D

By the way, this version of the song in the commercial is very lame compared to the original, which is excellent.

Oh, I love the song, I think it's beautifully done. I don't think there is anything wrong with having a sinister song or a song about a stalker in and of itself. It's just that people are so dumb and so non-observant that they think it's a beautiful romantic song and they play it at their wedding. They song does have a seductive sound, but it's not like the intent is hidden or anything.

I’ve always told people that “fear is a great product to sell”.  Once you lay out a proposition that causes fear in the mind of your target market, it’s prime time to sell them something to alleviate their fear.

In the case of Lumē, it is fear of a rotted out, offensively stinky crotchular area.  ::) ;D

Not specifically. My cholesterol has been borderline for years now. I do try to eat healthy-lots of fruits & veggies. I don't eat a lot of sugar. (I don't drink soda at all-I drink unsweetened tea all day long-caffeinated in the morning and decafe/herbal in the afternoon/evening) I try to limit the amount of junk (chips, cookies, pie, etc.). But, my biggest bane is almost every night, someone hands me a bowl of ice cream. What are you supposed to do when someone hands you a bowl? It is only polite to accept it. But, at my age, I need the calcium. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

I'm sure if I lose some weight, my cholesterol will go down, too.

I love it whenever a kid pumps his or her arm at me in my truck to try and get me to blast the air horn, and I'll always oblige them. It makes my day. And I like this commercial because it encourages a new generation of children to try it.  ;)

I lived in an apartment complex when I was a teen. The entrance had a wall with guard huts. A couple of friends of mine & I would walk to the entrance and sit on the wall that was along a numbered highway. As the trucks went past, we would do the arm pump. We would applaud and cheer whenever the truck driver would blast the horn. We would boo them if they didn't. But, to be fair, they may not had seen us.

I'm sick of this creepy commercial. Although I must say, at least they got the use of the song right. Think of all the people who use this song as their wedding song because they were too dumb to listen to or understand the lyrics.

Kinda like the people who play Green Day’s Time of Your Life (Good Riddance) as a sentimental tune of remembrance, when it was actually written as a “go screw off” ode.  ;D

For some reason I just find this guy annoying. Maybe it's the way he speaks, I'm not sure. Not to mention the fact that he says he gets busy and "forgets to eat". WHO "forgets" to eat??? Not to mention the product is a scam in general. There's a bunch more of these commercials with other people, and for a product that promotes good health and energy, they are the tiredest, slowest, most nerve-damaged looking people ever.

I have to admit that when I lived alone, many times I forgot to eat. But, the not eating the fruits & veggies is just b.s. Ok, so you might forget to make a big meal for yourself so you grab something. What about grabbing an orange or a banana, even some carrots?

No it’s HER PRODUCT that she said people say smells like cr@p (and vomit, cheese,etc). So they reformulated the smell of Lumē to presumably make it not smell like cr@p.

Then there are the various “PReP” commercials, hawking drugs that will let you be as promiscuous as ever so long as you gulp down their elixir.

These ads disproportionately portray gay men, usually minorities, including schemes where the protagonist is checking out a random at a train station.

Hey… whatever you care to do with Mister Johnson is no worry of mine, but preventing AIDS generally does not take a genius. But if you’re shooting intravenous drugs and needle-sharing, or picking up mustachioed bikers at the Blue Oyster Bar, well good luck with that.  ::)

This commercial bugs me. The way the wife says "Joohhhn" to the husband in an admonishing manner is really annoying. And since they are a married couple, wouldn't she already know if they have life insurance or not? Why does she have to ask the husband, like it's HIS fault? Just annoying.
