Updated thread - What TV commercial gets on your nerves?

And they often show them back-to-back. The Gallagher one is beyond stupid. The bodybuilder directing traffic is even worse. Been seeing a lot of the woman with the singing hair during the games too. Ugh! She looks a lot like the witch in the broom factory.

 

Is it DirecTV that has those ads with the big "conflict recording" or whatever? The one with the woman coming out of the shower and talking to her husband about how she doesn't like it, etc.

For some reason, when she says something like "I feel like it's watching me naked" he says "Well, at least someone gets to." What the heck does that have to do with the subject matter? It's just stupid.

 

Pretty stupid. But she's pretty hot, and I like when the guy does the little thing with his toothbrush after he says that.

 

It took until about the 10th time I saw it before I realized that was Mrs. Jack in the Box. Harder to recognize with wet hair.

 

Makes me want to stick rusty sporks in my ears.

 

Because when you subscribe to DirecTV, your old lady prances around the house naked?

 

They ought to do a sequel where she says, "Oh, plenty of people get to see me naked. Just not you."

Then drops the towel as the Gypsy Rose Lee theme song cranks up.

 

I think it's odd when a "national" chain advertises all over the country when it doesn't have outlets all over the country. There's not a Chik-fil-a anywhere near me.

 

The Sprint commercial where the family is around the dining room table and the father is freaking out about overages and all that crap. The first couple times I saw it, I couldn't understand what they all were saying - never a good idea to mumble in a commercial. I finally figured out what they were saying, and it's a really, really annoying commercial. Enough already.

 

We get Jack in the Box ads here, and there's not one within 100 miles.

 

"Miller 64 ... Miller 64!"

Get your sea shanty and shitty beer out of my face and go fuck yourself.

 

Not sure if this was addressed on some other SNL thread, but Chanel No. 5 unveiled its Brad Pitt commercial tonight (I think?), and it seemed to have been pre-empted by some SNL spoofs last night.

I'm clearly confused by the timing, but in the meantime, the commercial itself seemed to be utterly shielded from satiric arrows, anyway, because this uber-stud who has championed all these worthy causes and adopted unwanted African babies is suddenly shilling some rich-person perfume. It's un-satirizable.

Either way, it was weird. I can't find any evidence that the commercial was out with enough lead time for SNL to bust on it. Maybe it was. I don't watch TV that much. But when I saw the actual commercial, it was actually funnier than the SNL attempts at skewering it.
