Ilovemylabs October 4, 2015 Share October 4, 2015 There's a new car commercial which repeats over and over and over, faster and faster and faster, the word 'jealous', while a car winds around some curvy roads. I heard it twice last night and hated it at once. I think it might be for Audi...not sure. First I thought they were chanting 'janice, janice, janice" but the entire thing is annoying as anything.

Muffyn October 4, 2015 Share October 4, 2015 Woman in pain reliever commercial: "With less pain, I feel better." Me: "Really, lady? Well, aren't you a keen observer of detail." Having pretty much lost it at the doctor on Friday regarding an on-going extreme pain issue, this really made my day. On a separate thought, does anyone remember when McDonald's came out with the McDouble and they ran those damn commercials with Douchey McDouble who said everything twice? I was on the road about 100 mikes from home when I went to a McDonald. The woman very snottily told me she had never heard of such a thing; it didn't exist, and I needed to order something from the actual menu. I noticed they called it a double cheeseburger so I ordered that. Then I pointed out to her that those hideous commercials were playing approximately every 3 minutes and were now my new definition of hell, so maybe if she watched TV she'd know all about the incredible invention of putting two burger patties with cheese on one bun or, you know, a double cheeseburger.

yourmomiseasy October 5, 2015 Share October 5, 2015 Just saw a new Liberty Mutual ad with a football guy who basically gives the same spiel as the other lady who bitches about only getting 3/4 of the car covered. The disclaimer at the bottom said that the coverage is only for new cars less than one year old with less that 15,000 miles on it. Are there that many people out there who are totaling brand new cars left and right? I didn't realize until today how restrictive their coverage is but then I realized almost every person says that they damaged their "brand new cars." Except poor dead Brad. I had a basically brand new car and was t-boned (I think I might have had 1500 miles on it). Even the cops on the scene were sad for me and shaking their heads at my poor mangled car. It was over $30k in damage and it spent almost 3 months in the shop, but it wasn't deemed a total loss. It was always kind of creaky after that. My car before that one had 5 miles on it when my friend tried to park it for me and scraped the side down a pole. I was certain it wouldn't fit in the parking space, she thought it would. I've never been so sad about being right. So I guess I'm kind of someone that crashes new cars left and right, but so far have only totaled old cars. It must also be noted that I'm a weirdo that does stupid things in my cars like pick them up directly from the factory and then immediately traverse the Swiss Alps at night during a storm when all the roads are washed out. So, I remember a while -- it was en vogue in certain areas for girls who were in squabbles with other girls to hold a razor blade in their mouth and when the time came they would slash the other girls face. I honestly thought it was an urban myth until I saw a girl at Albertsons who had clearly been the victim. It was heartbreaking. She was only a teenager, but someone had clearly cut her face almost like a tic-tac-toe pattern. Being a teenage girl is hard enough, worrying about how you look and what not and to have to travel that bumpy road with a slashed face. To this day I can see her in my mind :( I don't know how it is where anyone else lives, but where I am you can't just buy razor blades - they are locked up tight and you need an employee to get them for you. Because suicide? I guess? So while these commercials exaggerate the issue, I find them (at least the ones relating more to the security of the blades, rather than the price) hilarious. The safety razor disposable shave head refills that are kept locked up wouldn't be very good for slicing your wrists or someone's face. You'd need a real razor blade for that. These are just locked up because they are expensive and the package is tiny, making them a good target for theft. (Anyone remember Empire Records and Robin Tunney's pathetic suicide attempt with a daisy razor?) 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/125/#findComment-1569442

Neurochick October 6, 2015 Share October 6, 2015 This commercial makes me stabby. Why is it wrong for a father to play with his daughters? http://www.ispot.tv/ad/AL8x/papa-murphys-pizza-re-bold-your-man It's not wrong. Watch the man's face, at first he's happy but his daughters went on and on and on and as I kept looking at his face, he was getting more and more annoyed. So his wife saved the day by putting a pizza in the oven before dad said something mean to his daughters. That's how I saw it. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/125/#findComment-1574001
RCharter October 6, 2015 Share October 6, 2015 It's not wrong.

So his wife saved the day by putting a pizza in the oven before dad said something mean to his daughters. That's how I saw it. The message of the commercial seemed pretty clear: The man needs to be "re-bolded" with pizza because he was losing all his boldness by playing princess dress up with his little girls. I don't see how a person needs to be "re-bolded" to prevent them saying something mean to someone who is annoyed. That sounds like a situation that would require "un-bolding." 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/125/#findComment-1574139
Neurochick October 6, 2015 Share October 6, 2015 I thought he needed to be re-bolded because he was getting annoyed. That was the clear message to me, but YMMV. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/125/#findComment-1574313
proserpina65 October 6, 2015 Share October 6, 2015 I don't know how it is where anyone else lives, but where I am you can't just buy razor blades - they are locked up tight and you need an employee to get them for you. Because suicide? I guess? So while these commercials exaggerate the issue, I find them (at least the ones relating more to the security of the blades, rather than the price) hilarious. Same thing here, although I imagine it's because the packaging is small, easily stolen, and they're expensive as all get-out. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/125/#findComment-1574486
proserpina65 October 6, 2015 Share October 6, 2015 This commercial for Cinnamon Toast Crunch piles on the reasons for hating it. I'll only link it so as to not expose you to the visual terror that it is. The faces. The wildly inappropriate "dancing". The pouring of an entire box into your mouth. Having adults cast to do these things seems to suggest they are trying to appeal to adults who want roofing tile cinnamon sugar cubes as their cereal. You have failed. Totally and completely. Having seen this commercial over the weekend, I can firmly avow that it did what I thought was impossible: it made me miss the little cannibal Cinnamon Toast squares. "Kore-ter" .... My sister says that, too. Makes me stabbier than I am ordinarily. Ack! I think I might be guilty of this as well! Or at least, I'm not sure I say "quar-ter" every time. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/125/#findComment-1574533
