Updated thread - What TV commercial gets on your nerves?

I've ranted on this before, but the car commercials where the husband or wife wakes up to find a new Lexus in the driveway (or worse, the living room -- how and why would you bring a car INTO your house, when there's no obvious way for it to get there) make me wonder what the conversation is like a couple of hours later.

WIFE: So how do you like your new Lexus?
HUSBAND: Love it! I've always wanted one! You're the best!
WIFE: Yeeeeaahhhh ... by the way, you have a $579 payment due January 20. Merry Christmas!
HUSBAND: Bitch.

 

Ha! I've always liked to imagine what happens after those commercials as well.

 

The whole Superstition theme has run well beyond its course. Especially, the one where the guys looks lovingly at his house guest who is in the process of throwing a bolw of Cheetos all over the carpet. Uh, you are going to pick up those up, right?

And this has been mentioned on here before, but the Buffalo Wild Wings spots with the Coach Lombardi wannabe are simply downright stupid.

 

I use whatever the company DOESN'T want me to use.

Fuck Wal-Mart/Walmart/Ballfart/Slavemart.

They ain't payin' ME a mother fuckin' thing. They want me to toe the line on their corporate branding, they need to Show Me The Money. They got plenty.

 

Now, back to commercials which are grinding my gears: the current run of Wendy's commercials featuring the spunky/sassy grownup "Wendy's girl" have definitely jumped the shark.

I liked her when the first ads ran but she is rapidly overstaying her welcome and basically just becoming that snarky bitch everybody knows and nobody wants to be caught in a room with. They need to figure out how to change up the whole dynamic or else retire her.

ME SNARKY WENDY

 

Shocked the Little Caesar's "you've been pnwed" commercial has not drawn the board's ire yet.

 

SHE OWNED YOU!

Please stop, Little Caesar's.

 

And the one where the guy is lusting to the point of drool running down his chin over the new double bacon whamoburger (or whatever it is she's shilling at his apartment door) is beyond creepy.

 

I work in the marketing department at Little Caesars. This is awkward. Seriously though, I give credit to the folks that make the current commercials because they are just as quirky and goofy as the old ones. All of the new ones follow that same style: clean fun, dry humor, deliberately corny. It's almost an ironic play on all the commercials out there that try too hard to be funny. Lastly, I'm glad they aren't the same as the rest of the pizza industry that imply that eating thier pizza will make you a happier person and make you feel like it's Friday.

Also, the actors are saying "she ohhed you".

 

Yeah, kinda brought back memories of this...

 

Well, whatever they're saying ... it still doesn't make the spot any less annoying.

Now, the one where the guy comes in the store and yells "THERE ARE NO RULES!"? That cracks me up every time.

 

Glad you like that one.
