View Full Version : comercials that bug you
davido 01-21-2006, 01:28 PM I hate that commercial with that woman for buying your house,the one allways holding that dog, that is annoying as linda soundtrack.
and the United way I think it's united way. the one that says picture yourself who eats tonight as soon as I see it i flip the channel.
Clear Sight Center Commericals are the ones I hate.
MadMonk 01-21-2006, 06:27 PM One word:
Wava
I have to admit the Big Red Sports commericals on the radio are just plain stupid. The idea is old they need to try something new.
mranderson 01-21-2006, 07:54 PM THREE GREAT LOCATIONS!!!!!:stars: :poke:
windowphobe 01-21-2006, 09:02 PM I want to strangle the little dillhole in the Mickey D's ad who wakes up his Significant Other to annouce that he's "a Dollar Menu guy." This runs about every 20 minutes during Hornets games.
writerranger 01-21-2006, 09:58 PM Great minds think alike! Before reading any of the posts, I wrote down:
1. ClearSight Lasik (The next 10 callers will get blah, blah)
2. 1-800-NO-AGENT (How many times can she say it in one spot?)
3. Big Red Sports Cars (I HATE that I-35....NORMAN!!!)
mranderson 01-22-2006, 06:43 AM The Alltel spot where the guy does the worm. Between the lack of advertising talent and Barry Switzers endorcement, I will not do business with them.
It amazes me some ding dong with a college degree gets paid to show stupidity and a guy with talent is not even able to find a job in that field.

1. 1-800-No-AGENT
2. The beer commercial where they have the animated guys saying "Brilliant." One of the guys keeps "inventing" something and the other guy keeps saying "brilliant."
3. All of Alltel commercials are stupid.
Oki_Man5 01-23-2006, 06:59 AM It might just be an ad and not classified as a commercial, but as I look for a good deal on a new computer, and I see the ads showing a CPU, KB, Mouse, and flat-panel LCD monitor and the package having a price that I think is priced right, then there is the very fine print maybe two clicks over if I am looking on the net that "monitor not included" or some such.
I just mark that establishment off my list of places where I might make my purchase. LOL That leaves Wal Mart and Sams on my list.
Any car commericial bugs me.
I happen to like the Integris commercials.
Faith 01-24-2006, 09:10 AM Definitely the 1-800-NO-AGENT Commercial. And the Dr. Pepper commercial that has the song, " I would do anything for love", I find it so stupid and not a bit humorous.
mranderson 01-24-2006, 06:45 PM "Have a happy period." I have yet to meet a woman who had a happy period.
sweetdaisy 01-26-2006, 07:22 AM All Sonic commercials. They are DUMB.
sweetdaisy 01-26-2006, 06:01 PM Just saw another really annoying commercial. the Chex Mix "snack on" commercial that takes place in the airport. UGH. I change the channel whenever i see it.
Oki_Man5 01-26-2006, 07:03 PM I like that commercial.
mranderson 01-26-2006, 07:08 PM Definitely the 1-800-NO-AGENT Commercial. And the Dr. Pepper commercial that has the song, " I would do anything for love", I find it so stupid and not a bit humorous.
Except for the fact I like looking at Paulette Kingston, I agree about 800 no agent.
Oki_Man5 01-27-2006, 07:17 AM OK, This is backwards---I liked it instead of one I hate. I think it is still enough on topic to qualify here, but if not, I dunno---delete it, I guess.
There was this guy on the bus, and as the camera backed off, there were women very close to him apparently (I think that was what the commercial wanted the viewers to surmise.) taking in the scents of his freshly washed shirt---in Gain Detergent---as the camera backed away, the bus had much empty space and all the ladies were huddled around the guy with their faces (noses too LOL) right up against the guy's shirt.
LOL The moral: Guys, wash your clothes with Gain Detergent. LOL
MadMonk 01-27-2006, 09:07 AM ^^
I saw that one this morning. Pretty decent commercial if it doesn't get overplayed. :)
fromdust 01-27-2006, 12:36 PM any mcdonalds commercials. ever since they started the i'm lovin it campaign, i go less and less.

Hee hee. I like that one too, Okiman.
Made me think of another line of commercials that I hate and fortunately haven't seen them recently. Some men's fragrance...I think it's called Bod(?). Those were some of the most annoy commercials ever.
Oki_Man5 01-28-2006, 05:38 PM Someone mentioned they do not like Sonic Commercials recently---I think I am right here.
I love the Sonic commercials where the two guys are in the car, and now the ones where the guy and lady are in the car.
OK---Again I am backwards loving them instead of hating them, but I am convinced I am on topic just in a round-about way.
drumsncode 01-30-2006, 04:43 PM I love the Sonic commercials too. I think those guys are brilliant comedians. Their timing is impeccable. (yeah, next to a mushroom!)
GrandMaMa 02-15-2006, 09:24 AM OH MY Gawd! I thought that I was the only one that detested that "house buying" commercial. Her voice might not be so "fingernails on the blackboard" bad if she would tone it down a notch, but the phony enthusiasm is what does it. I couldn't agree more, she is the worst...oh, maybe not, the big guy that travels the beltway doing commercials for anyone and everyone, you know the one who always swings his arm around, "12, 12, loop 12" and now he is announcing for a furniture store.
mranderson 02-15-2006, 09:51 AM The sleeze ball who acts like a 70's disco lounge lizard spouting "no. You're cheesy" for Burger King.
I just ate my breakfast... Excuse me, I have to barf now after thinking about this lack of advertising talent.
GrandMaMa 02-15-2006, 10:07 AM Oh yes, I forgot about that one.
ibda12u 02-15-2006, 10:29 AM The sleeze ball who acts like a 70's disco lounge lizard spouting "no. You're cheesy" for Burger King.
I just ate my breakfast... Excuse me, I have to barf now after thinking about this lack of advertising talent.
Ditto. The sandwich they are advertising wasn't even all that cheesy. I was expecting 8 slices of cheese. "Would you like some beef with your cheese burger sir?"
metro 02-15-2006, 10:37 AM the big guy that travels the beltway doing commercials for anyone and everyone, you know the one who always swings his arm around, "12, 12, loop 12" and now he is announcing for a furniture store. No kidding.
I also can't stand locals who do their own commercials and think they are an actor. Pay a professional!!! I know Mathis Brothers can afford it, and how about good old boy Drew Braum from Braums. MMM doesn't that look good? No it looks plastic and cheesy. The car dealers of course, Big Red Sports and Imports and the Norman Nobody/Edmond Somebody car guy I would never by a car from any of them because of their annoying commercials
Randy 02-17-2006, 06:09 PM No kidding.

Norman Nobody makes me sick. I also don't care for the Sonic commercials. The two guys that do the commercials are ok sometime, but they don't have a lick of talent. The man and the lady are just plain stupid. I would love to see her reach over and back hand that guy when he smarts off to her. He looks like he came from geek city.
I wish they would go back to the commercials when they had the pretty young ladies that were actually advertising the product without trying to be funny.
Oki_Man5 02-17-2006, 07:39 PM I love the duck on the AFLAC commercials.
mranderson 02-18-2006, 06:34 AM Any advertising that says they are x number of minutes away. That is misleading. You can not predict traffic, weather or other conditions. Give me distance in what distance means... Miles. Minutes is a time factor not a distance.
I guarantee, if it takes me longer to get somewhere than they claim, then I will show them my cars license plate and enforce it. "illsuu."
sweetdaisy 02-18-2006, 07:34 AM I actually saw 2 Sonic commercials that I like! It's the man & woman advertising the Sweetheart Brownie Blast. The one I like best was the brownie "bits" versus "bites"; it made me roll!
sweetdaisy 02-18-2006, 07:37 AM What's the deal with the guy from Big Red Sports in Norman? Does he really not realize how oogey his hair is?? Makes him seem greasy, seedy, and untrustworthy, IMO. No way would I buy a car from him!!
GrandMaMa 02-18-2006, 11:27 AM You know, I may be the only person on the face of earth to dislike the main figure in an ongoing, multi series commercial that isn't a real person. I still can't understand how I could acquire a genuine dislike for a personage, not a person. This non-person to which I am referring is the Creepy, COX DIGITAL MAN, all dressed in blue, including blue shoes and acting so darned condecending...I dunno if it's his facial expressions or what, but there are a few of those commercials that are quite clever, but he just ruins them.
kellekokid 02-18-2006, 09:36 PM GrandMaMa you make two people that I know of who finds "Max" Creepy. My mom won't just mute those commercials or not watch it, she'll turn the channel!
Joe Cooper Ford and their $10,000 low price guarantee commercial. That guarantee is the biggest load of crap. Gee lets think about this..... Should we discount the car a few hundred bucks or give away 10 grand.
And that folks is how I really feel.
mranderson 02-23-2006, 08:00 AM Two more. Those annoying hicks on Affordable Furniture and the Beef Jerky Emporium. They even make amatures look professional.
metro 02-23-2006, 08:55 AM I agree with you on that one mranderson, especially on the Affordable Furniture commercial, after all "its where working women shop"
GrandMaMa 02-23-2006, 09:34 AM I can't let this opportunity pass without mentioning just one more that I just knoooooooooooow that we all know and love. At first, I thought that they were sort of, well... sadistically funny, now they sicken me. Call it overexposure or just plain overdone, but....the CAPITAL ONE commercials. "What's in your wallet?" Jeesh!
Faith 02-23-2006, 09:44 AM Oh yeah.. that one where the family goes to visits the grandparents to celebrate all the holidays. Yes that one does annoy me!
MadMonk 02-23-2006, 11:53 AM Brown Furniture in Shawnee. Their spokesperson/owner(?) kills me. He seems so depressed. Recently there was one of their commercials where he mentions that they have some "exciting" items for sale. I've never heard the work "exciting" sound so sad. He reminds me of droopy dog. :D

Monk, you are so right! I remember that one. He does seem quite genuine, but methinks he would portray a mortician much better...maybe he could hire out to do a commercial for them and they could some and do his...couldn't be any worse.
metro 02-23-2006, 02:00 PM Exactly, it reminds me of a commercial more for a funeral home than a furniture store.
GrandMaMa 02-23-2006, 03:12 PM Exactly, it reminds me of a commercial more for a funeral home than a furniture store.
I can just imagine it now: I walk in to the furniture store and I hear a creeking sound as the nice 'ole gentleman slowly approaches me (of course, he has a flower in his lapel) and proceeds to show me which couch would make a wonderful "final" resting place....YIKES!!!!!:sofa: :LolLolLol
MadMonk 02-23-2006, 09:22 PM I picture walking into the place and him greeting me like Eeyore. "Huullo. Feel free to look around even though you probably won't buy anything...noone ever does."
okcerintul 02-24-2006, 11:25 AM I haven't lived in OKC for a few years, so I don't know if this commercial still airs, but does anyone remember...
"The price is right, noooooooooow at Oklahoma Discount Furniture!"
That used to annoy me so much. And they usually had 2 commercials back to back, which made it worse.
I know the commercial you are talking about. It's been a while since I've seen that one.
MadMonk 02-24-2006, 11:39 AM I remember those. It seemed like they always had three air in a row. By the time the third finished I was ready to put a brick through my TV. :D
GrandMaMa 02-24-2006, 12:49 PM You know, you would think that they would do their homework before they spent all of that money annoying folks. Some of those commercials actually repulse you enough to make you go anywhere but there. I guess it costs a lot of money to make those commercials, and I guess they need to get their money's worth, but I just hate seeing the same ones over and over and over...you almost have them memorized by the time they quit showing them. I guess they can't all be Budweiser quality...LOL
okcerintul 02-24-2006, 02:49 PM Here's another one that just hit me. Annoying as hell, but I guess that's why I can repeat it line for line some 15 years later.
Gene Messer Ford. Anyone else remember?

But would you buy a car there? LOL
sweetdaisy 02-26-2006, 04:46 PM For some reason, I started singing the "Shower to Shower" jingle today...ugh! "Shower to shower each day, helps keep the odor away! Have you had your sprinkle today?"
Amazing the stupid things you can remember from early life. GEEZ...
BTW, Mad Monk & GrandMaMa, you two were cracking me up with the Brown's Furniture/Mortuary stuff! LOL!!!
mranderson 02-26-2006, 08:24 PM Here is one out of the past. This guy (a guy women would drool over) is laying in bed. His line... "I didn't use my deoderant today and I may not tomorrow." Funny. I wonder why the guy is laying in bed alone? (Mitchum)
I also saw one in California once for a funeral home who had the slogan "dig a grave with Dave."
metro 02-27-2006, 02:49 PM ahhh Mitchum deodorant. I think the bottle reads something like "works so good you can skip a day". I don't care how good any deodorant is, I hope no one skips a day of deodorant on purpose
Oki_Man5 02-27-2006, 05:18 PM Or a bath or shower.
Oki_Man5 03-04-2006, 07:23 AM I hate it when they have the very young girls---looks like maybe seven years old---dressed and posed provocatively to get people's attention to look at appliances or whatever.
metro 03-07-2006, 01:40 PM how about the new Mathis Brothers commercials where they have a yellow construction hat on. The little one, Don looks like Bob the builder
GrandMaMa 03-07-2006, 02:24 PM I hate it when they have the very young girls---looks like maybe seven years old---dressed and posed provocatively to get people's attention to look at appliances or whatever.
You know, I dislike that too, when children are posed or used out of context of where they actually belong, whether they are aware of it or not...no 8 or 9 yr old little girl (or boy) needs that in their life...
I am really burned-out on this thread can't you ***kers find anything better to do? I mean lets move on to how many ***kers it takes to screw in a lightbuld...something...anything PLEASE. I saw a ***ker yesterday that was actually pretty intelligent for being a ***ker. Oh and by they way the secret word is banker...what did you think it was?
