The Gap commercial with Sarah Jessica Parker & Lenny Kravitz. :P

The Chevy 'bumper-car' ads with Jeff Gordon and his NASCAR Nextel Cup teammate Jimmie Johnson..why in blazes did they put NASCAR's most boring celebs in the ad...It would have worked out better if they used Tony Stewart and his best friend Dale Earnhardt Jr in the ad..

The Geico "Good News" Commericals...these were funny at first, but then they got annoying. And don't these fall under "False advertising" laws somehow?
I hate commercials that depict fictitious programs, like a fictitious game show, talk show, whatever, to sell a product. I'd get into the specifics now, but I really don't have time at the moment.

There's a Subway ad for their new slow roasted pork sandwich where there are 2 guys having lunch and one of the guys asks the other if he can try a bite of his new slow roasted pork sandwich. His friend says OK, so the guy opens his mouth and his "bite" takes most of the sandwich. Then the announcer says something like "And it's good that it's only $1.99". And the piggy guy keeps saying how good the sandwich is, while the other guy is staring at what is left of the sandwich.
For some reason, this one irritates the heck outta me.

I agree. It's nasty. The new mom 'n pop burger joint in my town is a California-'50s retro style place called "Fatzo's." The "Fatzo" burger is, of course, a one pounder. A usually go for the 1/2 pounder with cheddar. Real tasty, but they've gotta lose the slogan:
"Bad @ss Burgers!"
1. I don't want no @ss that close to my burgers!
2. "Bad" still resonates as a negative in most people's minds, even when used in slang.
3. Phonetically it sounds too much like "Bad Asperger's," as in Asperger's Syndrome.

My problem with most fast food isn't that it's bad for you, it's that it's just bad in general. Subway is totally bland. I still want to see the "Supersize Me" movie about the guy who lived on nothing but McD's for a month. Remember the lawsuit by the kid in NYC who ate at McD's twice a day since he was six. He was 15, 5'6" and weighted four hundred and change!

Some of the car companies run similar ads that are all-white or all-black, with the all-black ad actors all talking like Barry White. The ads guys still don't understand...
I think they've changed some of that with the "I'm Lovin' It" ads, which are racially integrated...

Maybe they do. I'm sure they ran the ads past various groups of people before airing them. I haven't heard or read any complaints.
And you know television ads tend to reflect the audience of the television show they run on and even the time of day has an effect, too.
And I wonder if the "all-white" commercials seem "strange" to someone who isn't "white"? I wonder if there are people out there who think:
"Do all all-white people really act like they do in that commercial?"
"Are all their dads and husbands really that stupid and lazy?"

The commercial I hated the most was one for Nestle Nesquik with the bunny. kids were playing baseball in a lot and the ball goes over (or under?) the fence. "Not the witch's house." Then one brave kid goes up to the door which an old woman answers (the witch). But when she invites him in for a glass of Nesquik, he realizes she is not so bad and GOES INTO HER HOUSE. With all of the attempted child abductions, the last thing kids need to see is that if someone offers something you like, it's okay to follow them into their house. I was SOOOOOOO angry over that that I wrote the company a letter. I received a response - they were sorry that I was upset. They didn't think there was anything wrong with it! I still have not purchased any Nestle products since then. Probably been about ten years. >:(

Not just the regular smell of bankruptcy, but Trump bankruptcy. Thats right, Trump bankruptcy, some of the finest fiscal mismanagement and incompetent executives that money can buy. Experience a scent that only a Trump can reach, one billion dollars in the hole.

The local car dealerships are annoying the crap out of me, now. First it was the awful lip-sync-ers from Honda West. And the bad acting from washed up Marvin Johnson and Vince Gainey at Eastgate Crysler. Then the Burds from Burd Ford gave me a headache (though the wife Chris is a looker). Now the stupid cartoon-mascot man from Blossom Chevrolet threatens to ruin my Holidays by doing the"Hokey Pokey". Aren't there any dealers that just want to sell cars and not try to entertain? >:( ÂÂ
Gent, up here in South Bend we had a dealer, "Tom Naquin" running these cheesy ads after the 9/11 attack claiming that it was patriotic to buy a car from him so that the economy would be stimulated.
Despicable. I would not buy a car from that guy if he were selling them for $1 .

He might as well quit car sales altogether because no one in their right mind would deal with this guy. >:(

Agree on the "cheesiness" of furniture commercials. When I still lived in Tennessee, there was one particular furniture store (the name escapes me) commercial that featured one of those "Crazy _____" kinda fellas who sang a jingle to the tune of Gilligan's Island & the Macarena... I do not recall the entire jingle but one line was "negotiate your own best deal...we're goin' low and how" (this was to the tune of the Gilligan's Island theme. And the commercial ended with "negotiate...negotiate... Hey liquidation" (to the tune of macarena...complete with hand motions). ;D

Which ones?
The ones with the Gecko lizard, the ones with the Neanderthals ("That is soooo condescending"), or the others?
Personally, I like their lizard and Neanderthal commercials.
