One of her neighbors, Charles, would wake up, go out on his interior balcony and yell, "Everybody wake up and scream!" Fortunately he was a very late sleeper so everyone laughed it off. This douchebag reminds me of Charles. I want every one associated in any way with the Yoplait Amelie inspired less sugar commercial to be blocked from ever being allowed to create anything ever again.

I would text people bizarre stuff. It's no bueno! I tried Ambien exactly twice. That first morning, I was ecstatic - I'd never slept so well before! But my reflexes and reaction times were still off and I promptly slid on snow and hit a post that tore up the front end of my car. After a day of dealing with the insurance company, the body shop and the car-rental place, I took Ambien again that night - and promptly wrecked the rental car the next day. That was when the light dawned that that shit was dangerous. And then my sister e-mailed me anecdotal accounts of people sleep-eating, sleep-driving, sleep-fucking and more than one person who woke up outside totally naked. I flushed the rest. *sigh* Too good to be true... I tried the Breathe Right strips years ago - turns out, I'm apparently allergic to the adhesive.

erikdepressant September 8, 2015 Share September 8, 2015 (edited) This may be a local ad, but I'm curious if they change a few details for broadcast in other states. I was furious the first time I saw the commercial months ago, and seeing it every day has not made me hate it any less. The "lots of experts" who studied fracking were employed by frackers. Carbon emissions may be down, but methane and toxic byproduct gasses are up. The "toughest, most stringent rules" that regulate fracking are not tough, stringent, or even properly enforced. Cities and counties can't contradict the state by interfering with fracking, because the state has been bought out. What upsets me most about the commercial is the way it pretends that frackers should pat themselves on the back for following the regulations they helped dilute, even though they lobby heavily to get those regulations removed.

yourmomiseasy September 9, 2015 Share September 9, 2015 (edited) The Amazon Prime commercial with the dog in a cast and the song from "Paint Your Wagon" has quickly gone from favorite to annoying because of too many viewings. It is seems to be everywhere! And since it is everywhere, my initial response of "yay! Lee Marvin!" to what is wrong why the dog, why is in a cast, shouldn't it be walking, what would a vet say about this? My dog hates this commercial so much. I play it repeatedly just to upset her and then forget about my evil torture and later will wonder why she's being such an asshole about something else when clearly it is my fault. I might be a weirdo but anytime I see some kind of egg-wrapped-in-something business, I can feel my stomach cringe up. Fuckin' "breakfast burritos," man. I'm sure this is going to be a big disappointment to you, but I don't think we can ever be friends. The commercial with the actress from Modern Family where she says "emoji sent, pizza ordered" annoys the crap out of me. Are people so damn lazy these days that they can't pick up a phone, dial a few numbers and order a friggin pizza?! Besides that, if you just send an emoji, how do they know what kind of pizza you want? I have pretty much refused to order food over the phone in at least 10 years. If they don't have online ordering either on their own site or app or through a site like Eat24 or GrubHub, I'm not getting delivery or takeaway from them. I hate calling to order food. Inevitably you can't hear each other or understand each other or there's just too much going on in the background and the order ends up wrong. With online ordering the order is written down and usually ends up correct. Plus I just don't want to talk to someone if I don't have to. OH MY GOD! I have a vague recollection of these (I was born in '71)! My parents didn't use them but I feel like I know about them. And your point reminds me of the "Do Not Eat" packet things that come in shoeboxes or purses and things like that. Who the hell would eat that...except someone--a dog, a baby--who didn't know how to read the "Do Not Eat" anyway? I ate part of a silica gel packet once. It might have been on a dare, but if it was, the dare was fueled by my obsession over what would happen if someone ate one. I never wanted to eat one until the big "DO NOT EAT" on it started taunting me. Same with spraying canned air in my ear, I never would have thought to have done it, but the picture on the can really made me want to. I managed to refrain from that one, although I did almost light my college apartment on fire by trying to blow out candles with one once. Yes, please, if you use a Neti Pot, only use distilled water, NEVER use tap water! Folks have died from tap water (amoeba).

The resulting voices are just horrible. http://www.ispot.tv/ad/7vuJ/lysol-disinfectant-wipes-school-year Well, assuming your question isn't rhetorical, there is a reason. The reason is that adult pros take direction better. Example: Your budget calls for you to get the talent in and out of the recording studio in an hour. With adults who specialize in kid voices, you know you'll get what you need in that hour. Especially when you get to the part where you need to instruct the talent, "Make it sound a little perkier." Or, "Put a little more smile in your voice." Good luck getting actual kids to understand what the hell you mean. There are times when the imperfect charm of real kids singing outweighs other considerations, and those are the times you'll want to use real kids, because you'll never get it any other way.

pandora spocks September 9, 2015 Share September 9, 2015 (edited) Jesus H Christ! How long IS the Invokana commercial?? About the same length of time as filing a class action lawsuit against Invokana using an ambulance chasing lawyer. If I saw a yelling dumbass on a slowly rotating bull as in the Glucerna commercial, I'd bribe someone to speed up the ride merely for the perverse joy of seeing him pitched on the midway (preferably in a muddy manure mixture). By the way, thanks, Glucerna for ruining one of my high school favorites, Slow Ride. It created the same unfortunate association as Singing In the Rain did in A Clockwork Orange.

crowswork September 10, 2015 Share September 10, 2015 As opposed to the current crop of delicate grown-up snowflakes, whose childhoods have been so sheltered that they have to dial 911 if their half-caf lattes have too much foam on them. There was a 14 year old in my city who doused himself in lighter fluid and lit it while his buddy photographed it. In the burn unit he said he didn't realized burns hurt. Moral: Let your kids scorch their curious little fingers slightly. 9 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/114/#findComment-1491202

merylinkid September 10, 2015 Share September 10, 2015 And we have the Peyton Manning entry in the DirectTv ads. While I find Peyton funny as hell (and not bad to look at either), what the hell does a HIGH PITCHED voice have to do with whether or not you DirectTv? If he switches from cable, his voice drops an octave? 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/114/#findComment-1491367
mojoween September 10, 2015 Share September 10, 2015 Yeah DirecTV needs to stop. At first when they had regular people whose lives spiraled downhill because they had cable it was amusing. And then Rob Lowe's, Eli's and Tony Romo's were amusing but slightly less so but DirecTV is just stretching to try to be hilarious. They've gone from personality quirks that can be changed to physical flaws that won't improve wherever you have cable or satellite or rabbit ears. Although I do laugh at Peyton's scream because it's adorable and I love him. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/114/#findComment-1492095
