There was one for a pedia-sure type drink: "He was falling off the growth charts!" as sonny boy is pushing away perfectly good food. But now he is happy! Why?

Mrs. Hanson April 27, 2018 Share April 27, 2018 (edited) Okay, I am back (so soon? How can we miss you if you don't go away?) as I thought of another one that is seasonal and it making a comeback. This could be regional, but we have a school around here called Connections Academy. Hate hate hate the commercials: "Hi! I am Jenny at 22! This is my younger self at 11! My parents wanted to put me in an environment where I could really thrive, so they chose Connections Academy!" Okay, last year I worked at a half online/half school building school and this commercial is so wrong. Most kids SAY they want an online school but sadly, most will fail. Why? They miss their friends and the vast majority of pre teens/teens do not have the discipline to work with deadlines. Most teens are not really into listening to their parents when it comes to following directions, either. When I see the happy go lucky pre teen all happy on their laptop, smiling as they talk to their teachers......oy. Try this scenario: "Billy!! BILLY! Get off the gaming system!! IT IS TIME FOR SCHOOL!" "Ma.....stop bugging me....I will get it done."

Talk about a bait and switch! I remember sleazy car salesmen pulling that trick on my parents when I was growing up. I think the intent is to make you feel bad about saying no after driving it around a couple of hours, and maybe being seen with it by friends and family. It probably also helps convince you that it's time to get rid of your old car.

How many old cable companies does anyone know of keep their guitars, clothes and other personal effects in one's dwelling? Also, I'd like to add that IMO it also brings up a rather offensive stereotype that African-Americans are cruel vandals who'd gleefully destroy white folks' properties. Lastly, neither in the commercial itself nor in the voiceover is any attempt made alluding to any offense done on the part of the old boyfriend- apart from possibly having brought over his belongings to her (their?) dwelling.

At first I thought, well, she's smiling that way for emphasis because she just said something really snarky...but no. That was her actual smile and I just couldn't with it. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/342/#findComment-4277869

Fair enough. There are plenty of folks whose singing I personally have no liking or interest in that somehow are popular enough with others to make full-fledged careers. Anyway, we can both hope that one day [SOON] TPTB will swallow their false pride. decide enough's been too much and cut their losses re Flo and Miss McEntyre (commercial wise in her case). 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/342/#findComment-4278018

Well, you don't have to worry about the Reba McEntire commercials lingering around too long, since the entire premise of the campaign is an ongoing list of celebrities taking turns with the role; the next one will be around soon enough. Flo commercials have been on the air for many, many moons now, so those annoyed by them are obviously not causing any losses for Progressive. You may have to continue waiting quite a while for those to go away.

We're starting to see a new batch of George Hamilton as The Colonel commercials, and he looks very...tanned. It's an improvement over Reba. She just didn't work in these ads. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/342/#findComment-4278107
