Annoying ads during prime time NFL games

This is a hilariously bad take.?

 

You can't be that out of touch.

 

Unless the last winter you spent in Binghamton was like 70 million years ago.

 

I haven't lived in Binghamton in years.  I do remember going cross country skiing when it snowed enough years ago.  I'm also a downhill skier and snowboarder; so anytime I can get outdoors I'm all for it.  Why spend that kind of money for maybe four months of use?  Get the real thing.

So, yeah, maybe I'm that out of touch.  Bad take in your opinion only.

only shown 4 times in 30 minutes

[Mojo44]

The Baker commercials are insufferable to me. I am indifferent to most of the others with a few good ones. The real problem for me, including for the good ones, is that after seeing them two or three times they also become insufferable. I guess it’s just an occupational hazard from watching a lot of NFL football.

[Warcodered]

What annoys me with the ads was I was watching the Broncos-Chargers game and there was series 1-4 down with like 3 commercial breaks.

Gotcha!  I’ll edit it.

 

The Geico commercial was the run into the shed with chainsaws one.

I don't understand the draw to a several thousand dollar Peloton bike, plus spin class subscription.  Just get a real bike and ride outside like it should be done.

It’s convenience and outdoor bikes also costs thousands of you buy a decent one....like serious bicyclists.

[PetermansRedemption]

The stupid holiday tradition of showing people gifting cars, like it’s some regular occurrence. If my wife bought me a car without me knowing for Christmas I would be anything but happy.

Sad but true. However, why wouldn't the league want to give me the option to take my money directly for a Super Duper Sunday Ticket Package without commercials? Regular folks aren't paying for Sunday Ticket anyways. Maybe I'll just start listening to radio broadcasts again...

 

Unless you are local radio broadcasts are no longer available.  The radio.com app for WGR does not work.

What if you have a child at home and you’re divorced or daddy is not at home?

The pelaton commercial makes me really uncomfortable. At least the girl is cute.

I can see that point about having a child at home who shouldn't be left alone without a parent.  I was primarily referring to the commercials where children were noticeably absent.  IMO, the Pelotons seem too much like a status symbol, judging by the environment they're in, and a way of exercising for soft people.  My mind would be changed if I see a Peloton commercial set in the 'hood.

[DC Tom]

Peloton...I don't like them, but I watch the commercials closely, because I just can't understand their marketing campaign.  They seem to be advertising to the vapid 20-something socially-isolated trophy wife/Instagram model/video blogger who lives in a $3.5m house who has neither the time nor money for a personal trainer?  And during football games?  

 

That's a really niche marketing campaign.  Gotta be at least six or eight women in that demographic across the country.  Maybe next year they'll expand their marketing to include one-legged-touch-typists with-frizzy-hair-and-glaucoma hockey fans. 

 

Peloton's just ***** weird.

I learned about spin bikes because my ex was big into them.  Peloton is considered a status symbol for non-serious spin cyclists.  Serious cyclists make fun of Peloton.

They’re average bikes at premium costs.  My ex has a really good one about the same price.

 

I don’t bike/cycle and live in Atlanta....but can you even ride a bike outside in the dead of winter?  You need speed to get a true workout.

In the mid Atlantic, sometimes yes, sometimes no.  It depends on your tolerance to cold and the clothing you have.  I can go until about 45 degrees on a road bike.  On a mountain bike, a little lower.  Obviously in snow and ice, not so much.  

 

It's not just speed, but more so inclines.  IMO, mountain biking (even on smaller hills) is a better workout than road biking; at least I felt it more.

Fat tire, steel frame, fixed gear.... go get groceries on the thing in 4” of snow and you’ll get a workout.

All the insurance ads (especially the ones with Mahomes and Rodgers) and all pharmaceutical ads.

Absolutely.  Eddie Murphy would have nailed that skit.  I can just picture a classic SNL clip in my mind and probably shouldn't mention it here.

Damn straight. I don’t need a reminder that I’m depressed and my dick doesn’t work every 5-10 minutes... makes me drink more than the beer commercials ever did.

Yeah but a speed bike is much different that a road or mountain bike right?  Like I'm talking about the ones with the skinny tires.

I've taken a few spin classes through out the years and it was all about RPM's.

I'd enjoy them a lot more if he was dressed in the commercials the same way he is in the post game pressers.

A mountain bike isn't built for speed, but for climbing and tougher terrain, so that is a different application.

I'm guessing a "speed bike" as you put it, is an outdoor road bike.  For example, my Trek road bike has 700c x 23mm tires, which are pretty skinny.  RPM's are good, but inclines are better.  It's similar to running, hills will get you into better shape than flats.  You'll get the elevated heart rate in both environments, but inclines will really build your endurance and lung capacity.

As you can see, my bicycling knowledge is limited sort of like @Gugnyknowledge of sex.  In both cases, it's just you get on, go as hard as you can until you're tired, wipe off sweat, rest until get your breath and groan a lot.  Legs are dead when done and probably won't do it again for awhile.

I only found out what Pelaton what after seeing Booger trying to slide into Ally Love's DM's

[frostbitmic]

Limu Emu and Doug ... All I can think about when one of those commercials come on is that I'll bet Emu tastes as good as Ostrich and Doug needs to be found in a dumpster in an alley somewhere.

I CANNOT stand the Baker commercials, and thankfully watch most games on a delay to FF them all.

 

One that I do love is the AT&T one that is"just ok" with the doctor...gets a little chuckle from me everytime.  "You nervous?  Me too." and "I'll see ya in there!"

The AT&T commercial was good the first time you heard it. Now, after they have played it for the 10th time in the same game it kind of loses some of its luster. But, better that than any of the Peyton Manning Commercials.

I gather there has been backlash because the girl who got the bike in the commercial from her husband said it changed her life over the course of the year and she looks the exact same at the end

 

People always equate skinny as being healthy. They see a skinny girl that says the bike changed her forver or whatever and can't comprehend that she may have been skinny but in terrible shape. I know plenty of "skinny fat" people who I, at 260 lbs, am in better shape than.

I think you have it backwards...........you can use indoor exercise equipment year round and any time of day.     It's the outdoor stuff that you can't use when it rains or snows or when it's dark or very windy or cold or icy etc. etc. etc.

That’s my thought too. Maybe she just wanted to be healthy. Hey she worked out 6 days in a row! Yes I know this is a fictional person.

That girl had no muscle tone.  She looked like Olive Oyl to me.

Muscularity is only one aspect of fitness. When I was in the Air Force I had a troop that was jacked and cut. Looking at him most would think he was in damn good shape. Dude couldn't even finish the mile and a half run for the PT test. He ended up getting discharged over it because he failed the PT test too many times. Which leads me back to my point, the way a person looks has no revelance to their overall fitness. Whether it be skinny, fat, muscular, whatever. You can't see the health of a person's cardiovascular system by looking at them.

I watch the Bills via NFL Gamepass and live in a wacky timezone,  so by the time I watch the game,  the commercials are already cut out.

It's great!  I hate all commercials.

Any commercial where Baker “lives” at the stadium 

I'm not going to lie. The UP music in the Apple grandma commercial gets to me.
