Updated thread - What TV commercial gets on your nerves?

One more: The new poop-in-a-box commercial with 40-somethings singing a colon cancer screening inspired version of “My Way.”

I’m their target audience and I would never choose a Sinatra song for that product. Maybe a really crappy 1980s song by Starship would be more apoopriate.

 

"Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now"

That was the first-dance song at our wedding in 1988 - her choice, not mine. Seemingly cool then; cheesy now.

 

DESPISE it, but damned if I’m not toddling about my day and an occasional “You’re a cool cat!” gets sung.

 

SNL did it better.

 

The 13-year-old boy's wispy moustache bugs me. I'm not even sure what that ad is trying to sell, though.

 

That was fantastic.

"I know Woody smokes a lot of weed, but ..."

 

I thought that was a girl.

 

Well, I meant the moustache was the kind a 12- or 13-yo boy would try to wear, not that the actor is male. Poor wording by me it was.

 

No, I’m pretty sure the character is a child transvestite and that’s the point of it.

 

These small business credit cards for these cutie places for disposable income that sell $6 donuts or eclectic cheese and will go out of business within six months.

“This card helps me keep on top of all of my inventory as I only did $173 in sales last week and that’s only because the girls from tennis felt bad and bought a dozen kale glazed on Friday. I’ll be 40 grand in the hole by July 1 but, hey, empowerment… as long as my attorney husband keeps his job. Otherwise, back to accounts receivable for me.”

I wish they’d show a “dull-normal” business like manufacturing, plumbing, siding. You know, businesses that aren’t glamorous but people always need.

 

We built this… shitty?

 

The Antonelli family annoys me too - and yet I can’t help but think the wife is downplaying some hidden freaky-deaky tendencies behind the scenes.
