Updated thread - What TV commercial gets on your nerves?

Chris Berman on a commercial for CarShield, an extended warranty program. Not especially grating just, you know, Berman.

People like him in ads like these -- such as Tom Selleck for reverse mortgages -- make me wonder if they really need money or if they were offered a buttload of cash.

 

Maybe they pay Berman in leather and Selleck in mustache wax.

 

A buddy of mine oversees marketing for a brand you may be quite familiar with if you are unhealthy and over the age of 60. Their marketing is almost exclusively direct-response (think infomercial) on TV, web and email.
Anyway, he signed a celebrity with equal or maybe more star power than Selleck and Berman and he paid him a handsome flat fee for a few days of filming but the guy also gets about $10 an order, from any marketing channel. And their daily orders are equal to a mid-size country’s gdp. So much so that the celeb told my buddy he’s making more money now than on any of his previous major shows/movies.

 

If I ever get the chance to meet Lily from the AT&T commercial, I'm going to take her coffee mug, brain her with it, then smash it into pieces on the floor.

 

Slow down, Chef. Real life Lily is quite fetching

 

Well then.
I have a whole new respect for ATiTs then.

 

I have a question for the group. Am I the only one a little weirded out by the kid in the Sonic commercial bragging they he's known as the "chug master" at school because he's such a good chugger?

 

Postmates commercial where they repeat pad Thai or other food products over and over. Makes we want to puke, not order food.

 

William Shatner's ad for "So Clean" that starts with "You might not know this about me, but years ago I was diagnosed with a sleep disorder". Why the fuck would I know that??

 

I hate to admit it, but the Idina Menzel Geico commercial that used to irritate the heck out of me is growing on me. "I read that wrong, oh yeah."

 

I mean, I know it.

 

We laugh, on the set, at that every damn time it comes up in a commercial break. Usually once every 2 weeks.
