Updated thread - What TV commercial gets on your nerves?

I've heard of the Rembrandt comparison, but I can't remember from where. I think it may have been in reference to Greg Maddux.

That commercial makes me cringe when I now hear Eminence Front. I used to really like that song.

 

I've heard it a few times while following baseball (some guys just love to wax poetic), but I can see where it gets grating if you have to hear it in a commercial over and over again.

 

I'm note sure who I want to punch more. The big oaf with the hairy chest shaving, or the douche from Gillette who bursts in and scares the living shit out of him while has a razor blade to his neck.

 

The ADIDAS spot with Kevin Sumlin in it.
WTF is even happening? A music video? A mix tape? A bunch of kids dancing? What is it even promoting?
I'm too old to care, or like it, I guess.

 

The current cars.com app commercial is mildly annoying. Them shutting down their app because cars.com already made an app is like Burger King closing up shop because McDonalds is also selling burgers. I thought competition was the whole point of business. I may be thinking too much into this—HD DVD, Betamax, Zune et al prove the commercial's point—but it's still bugged me.

 

The Swifter commercial with the old Jewish (?) couple. Every time I hear her whine "Morty? Morty? Are you listening to me, Morty?" I get the distinct feeling that she

Never

Shuts

The Fuck

Up.

(And poor Morty is secretly plotting to smother her in her sleep.)

 

They actually shut down the IPO, because they are expecting a big boost in investments because of the unique product but find out is not at all unique. Still stupid, but makes some sense.

 

Fair enough, that makes a little more sense when you say it that way. I still don't like the commercial.

 

Doesn't bother me too much. Still despise the Rembrandt one, and its sharp-dressed man brother. And they play them 30 times a day.

 

I like the Rembrandt one only in as much as I can picture Affeldt getting shit from his teammates whenever he scuds a pitch.

 

The "Well-put-together man" is even worse than the Rembrandt one. A lot worse. What the fuck does a nice suit have to do with an SUV and "precision"?

 

What's even worse is the big lug's mustache is shaved/not shaved/shaved back and forth.

I want to make tons of dough and be able to make stupid mistakes like that!
