rockpile Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 My vote is for Mohegan Sun (mostly on YES network). I have been there two or three times and really enjoyed myself, but if all I saw was their commercials I would NEVER go there! What commercials bug you the most, specifically because they make something good look really BAD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy Dave Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 The "get dunked on by Patrick Chewing" Snickers commercial sucks. But I am not boycotting Snickers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkady Renko Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I 'd have to say the Klondike Bar commercial where the teen boy is eating the ice cream while massaging the old womans feet. Teen boy? The guy is probably around 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steely Dan Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 The "get dunked on by Patrick Chewing" Snickers commercial sucks. But I am not boycotting Snickers. In fact a lot of those Snickers commercials suck! OT, but my doctor told me I wasn't getting enough Nougat in my diet and prescribed three Snickers a day. Most commercials don't bug me because I mostly tune them out. The Patrick Chewing one does annoy me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Patrick Chewing one does annoy me though. I won't defend the Snickers campaign (as it is pretty weird) except to say I kind of like the way they use the packaging, but not the Snicker's name. There is a really good point to be made here (about how familiar and comforting the packaging has become) but I'm not sure they are doing the best job of making that point. There are quite a few commercials that are horrible, but I have to think it there are any for products/services I actually like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steely Dan Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nougat Nobody, I would think, wanted a serious answer here? Well, it is the south. These are Krass Brothers Commercials I remember seeing on TV in the Philly area growing up. I couldn't find my favorite which is Mr. Krass lying in a coffin with his hands folded and suddenly he sits upright and says "If you don't buy from Krass Brothers, YOU'RE DEAD!"

apuszczalowski Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 The Old Navy Mannequins. DING! DING! DING! We have a winner Also, add in for anyone local in Niagara, the Commercials for Marineland in Niagra Falls. Almost everyone in the area knows that stupid jingle and wants to throw something at the TV/Radio when they come on.

EDIT: I don't think I could ever live in NC.... "Did you get a DWI? Well we got SCOOTERS!" I'm not sure those two different minute and a half commercials are real. Commercials usually run 30 seconds or 60 seconds. I don't know though, maybe in redneckville minute and a half is standard? Haha. The commercial was youtube-only. It was obviously made with tongue firmly planted in cheek. I thought they were both funny in an awkward kind of way. But hey, what do I know -- I live in N.C.!

shrader Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 What exactly is the point of those "that's the money you could be saving with Geico" commercials. Those things make absolutely no sense. Bring back the cavemen. And I'm not sure if it's a decent product, but I've been seeing this one commercial lately that really bugs me. It's for Lectric Shave (what a horrible name). The hairs are smiling and yelling out "lectric shave". But they're about to be brutally murdered. Call me crazy, but I'm not going to be all happy if I'm about to be cut in half. Then they're still all happy after the razor passes and they're falling to the ground. Hmmm, maybe I'm paying a bit too much attention to this commercial.

Bullpen Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 The Free Credit Report commercials with the 20-something slacker singing/rapping/performing spoken verse "songs."

shrader Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 my take on those geico adds is that there is money staring you right in the face, and the people are too dumb to notice But they do see it. So they know about the money, but still do nothing about it? That seems like way too much thought for a stupid commercial, especially after the caveman and gecho commercials pretty much put it all right out there.

And they always seem to come on when during a show that I actually want to watch. Usually I just walk out of the room for a few seconds during commercial breaks, but I always run back in to mute the tv whenever any of those ads come on. They have to get just about every musical style into one of those ads, don't they? They're single handedly making me hate all music. Thanks a lot free credit report that isn't actually free.
