Man, I hate commercials. Ask any member of my family; they'll tell you I complain about them a lot. I can't help it; they're just so stupid!

It's because you're getting older. Commercials have always been stupid.

Actually, some of them have been kinda funny. But now, they're just plan...wrong... like the snack bit ice cream ones, ugh, they look like 3 year olds made them.

You telling me there was once a golden time when commercials weren't utterly retarded? When exactly was this, and were you or were you not younger than 10 years at the time?

Whatever happened to Red Stripe Beer? They had the most bizzare/enjoyable commercials out there.

Well, you've mispelled just about every name you've typed in this topic as well as tons of other words and we still understand you, so I think we should be fine.

Oh shut up...

Title: Re:Is it me?

Yeah, I've realized that most of today's commercials have nothing to do with what they're about until near the very end. Sometimes it makes me laugh.
Title: Re:Is it me?
Post by: Axel on July 15, 2008, 04:23:25 PM
Yes, I agree with you. except for the laughing part...

I woke up at 4 AM this morning, and proceeded to watch VH1's music videos.

For some reason, all the commercials are in this box thing. I don't know why, and it's kind of annoying, since it cuts off the top right corner of the commercial...

I also really liked Starburst commercials. "These Starburst are so juicy!"

"It's a good thing we're wearing these wetsuits."

And Skittles and 7UP... or whatever that subliminal messages commercials were. They're so bizarre, I love them.

HI I'M BILLY MAYS AND I WANT YOU TO BUY THIS PRODUCT

Seriously though, commercials are only getting stupider because the target audience is getting stupider.  Sad, but true.

There's this commercial over here, it's a "Just For Men" commercial. (It's hair dye for men to cover up gray)

There's these two little girls and they walk up to their dad and say, "Dad, it's time." He puts down the newspaper and his (obviously fake) gray hair stands out, then they push out the box, put their heads together and say "Please?"

Then he's at dinner with this lady and he takes a picture with his phone and sends it to them and they high-five and say "Yes!"
Title: Re:Is it me?
Post by: Keaton on July 15, 2008, 11:36:13 PM
...the sad thing is that it's actually selling the product.
Title: Re:Is it me?
Post by: Twilight Wolf on July 15, 2008, 11:36:41 PM
That is the worst commercial of all time.

I want to barf every time I see it.

I actually find those commercials to be some of the funniest out there.

Sometimes I catch myself whistling the tune to myself.  :\

And his face is way to shiny.

I agree with the both of you.
His face does seem fake.
I mean... I'd love to see him get kicked in the crotch and see if he's still smiling so hard.

Didn't you know?  One of the side effects of his ridiculously enhanced manhood is an armadillo-type shielding.

Woah, you get those too?

I never found them particularly objectionable, though.

They aren't objectionable, they're just annoying as hell and always get stuck in your head for days  on end.
