Updated thread - What TV commercial gets on your nerves?

She's a Secaucus 7.5.

 

Those fucking barfing-baby InTrade commercials need to go away.

 

I actually love the baby commercials. They still make me laugh, something about the voice.

 

The eTrade commercials are hilarious, especially the clown one.

'I forgot how freaky that was.'

 

Maybe this one has been mentioned already, but it's just an annoying commercial.

The Citi commercial where the laid-back husband watches from the couch as the woman keeps redecorating the living room, confused as to why her efforts can't satisfy her soul-crushing, yuppie standards. She looks at husband, relaxing in jeans and a flannel, and decides that he alone is the problem for this dark abyss of unhappiness in her life. So, she decides she will change him. Buys him new clothes. She smiles, oh so happy. All is well in their WASPy world again.

I could see her beating him with forbidden wire hangers and gunplay entering that story very easily.

 

The American Express commercial where the foreign investors blow off the businessman because he paid with a personalized superhero credit card irks me. But their newest one puts me at Defcon 1 on the pissed-off scale. Guy needs to buy a ticket for a last-minute meeting in San Francisco. He pulls out his card with cats on them, and the ticket clerk calls security to haul him away. Then a woman comes up needing the exact same ticket, pays with her gold Amex, and eveything is jake.

Swell idea Amex! Use your card so nobody thinks your a terrorist! Because that doesn't have the potential to offend anybody.

 

My one-year-old daughter loves the E-Trade baby. She stops whatever she's doing and watches. The one with the clown is her favorite.

 

I don't believe I've seen those yet.

 

Seriously, the FCR commercials used to be catchy. That was the first one where they started going downhill (what, do they think we're not intelligent enough to spell?) Even more annoying: the one where he's singing about how his girlfriend had bad credit and hid it from them until after they were married. So he's saying he wouldn't have married his dream girl JUST BECAUSE she has bad credit? Dude deserves to be alone if that's the case. And now, the rockstar commercial with the hip-hop feel or whatever? Ugh. It makes me want to claw my ears out.

 

Wenders, saw that for the first time last night.

Awful stuff, really.

 

I just saw some commercial for Axe body spray that was just downright creepy, disturbing even. Guy sprays this stuff on and becomes a chocolate man. Woman proceed to break off pieces of him to eat.

 

BigS, we're breaking that down on the 'women of SportsJournalists.com' thread. It's horrific on every level.
