Commercials That Creep You Out

[RadicalModerate]

There are lots of them that really creep me out, but this one stands out (plus it was just on the TV).

Every time I see this I can't help thinking of the Hitler Youth and the SS.

Even if I wasn't watching what I eat--and although Toaster Strudels are pretty tasty--I wouldn't buy them just because of this ad (and others like it for the same product).

Any of the toilet paper commercials with the bears that have toilet paper stuck to their bottom.

They have those tp commercials because the censors canned the ones with the rabbits.
(hoping I m not the only one that knows the joke)

No poop. I like BK burgers but that king is a total creep.

[Prunepicker]

I refuse to watch or listen to commercials. Period. I quit listening to them.
about 1985. The sounds were totally offensive, meaning unappealing to my
ears, sonically, and intellectually void. If I heard one more potato chip
crunch or someone telling me I needed an item I was going to go nutz. Duh.
During the 1986 Superbowl I quit watching commercials for the same
reasons.

In my truck I have a watch with a countdown timer set at 55 seconds
velcroed to my steering wheel. When a commercial comes on I turn off the
radio and cycle through the time a few times. Usually it's safe to listen after
4 minutes. It's better to miss some of the programming, like Classic Rock
107 then hear any portion of a commercial. With TV I use my iPhone and
have the programs I watch timed so I don't have to see a commercial.

F'rinstance, MASH on 5.2 there's a 4 minute commercial break and the
next is two minutes. The same goes for all of the 30 minute programs
on that network. The 60 minute shows are a little different.

I enjoy being commercial free, but I'd never want them to be outlawed.
Afterall, they pay for my TV!

In two years it will be 30 years since I voluntarily listened or watched a
commercial.

Does that mean that there aren't any commercials that creep you out?

How can something I don't see or hear creep me out? I will say this, the
mascot for Burger King is quite creepy.

Yup. The Burger King Ads are creepy. Really creepy.
I don't think he is really smiling.

(yet, i have to admit . . . Burger King is capable of offering a superior fast food burger.
I think it's the Liquid Smoke rather than the flame broiling.)

The Burger King Icon officially creeps me out.

(and i just figured out why: He's a cross between the kid in line ahead of Ralphie and his little brother in "A Christmas Story" (the one wearing the aviator helmet and goggles) and that old dude in those Mexican Beer Commercials. =)

The Old Spice Commercial with the moms!

[RadicalModerate]

This commercial, for an anti-depressant, is so depressing that it makes we want to ask for a prescription for an anti-depressant.
On the other hand, the side-effects are so depressing that the cure may be worse than the disease. Which is, in itself, depressing. This ad is like a Mobius Strip of depression or something by M.C. Escher. If he suffered from depression.

[Dubya61]

I despise the toilet paper / moist wipes commercials with a woman encouraging us to talk about our bums (but am somewhat amused by the "freshey-fresh" commercials for the exact same product).

[Richard at Remax]

anything with Chad Stevens

[HangryHippo]

The Reynolds Ford commercials on NewsOK that autoplay at incredibly loud volumes make me want to punch through a wall.

[RadicalModerate]

I'm not sure when a commercial crosses the line from simply annoying to creepy, but that Edmond Hyundai spot comes close.

[Jeepnokc]

Any E.D. commercial with old people. My parents are still alive and together and don't want to think about that.

I had to really think hard to figure out what you meant by E.D. Then it came to me.
People sitting in bathtubs on the beach is definitely in the category of creepy.
(Like, Felliniesque/Salvadore Dalian creepy.)

(yet, not as creepy as those old EX-tendZ ads that, thank goodness, have disappeared from the airwaves)

(or any of those 2 Sell Homes commercials. they have creepy written all over them. in the subtitles)

[Just the facts]

[RadicalModerate]

That's the ad that put Michael "Cosmo Kramer" Richards on the wrong road.
(somebody call the FDA/FCC/EPA/EEOC/ETC. !)

(no kidding: even the freeze-frame of the vid was creepy. and i have no fear of clowns.
i got over that by overcoming my fear of Howdy Doody. but just barely.)

(into what did "Sugar Rice Kinkles" morph? perhaps Count Krunchula without the chocolate flavor?)

[Prunepicker]

My friends, I can't bear watching any of the uploaded commercials. Please
forgive me.

[HangryHippo]

Those 2 sell homes ads also make me want to punch through a wall. I hate those ads!

Are you stealing my Thunder ('r whut)? =)
Oh. Wait. Edmond Hyundai already did that.
Creepy.

I'm still shocked they are doing those again after serving jail time for the last scam (in the same line of work) they did.

Does Wava's new plastic face, that she apparently bought after selling off NuSound, count as creepy?

[boscorama]

There's something about Wava. Funny, I don't hear her; totally tuned her out. Ironic, huh?

Geez . . . That took "creepiness" to the next level.
(at least to me).
Congratulations! =)

(really: i don't know who Wava is. Is she that guitar huckster's sidekick?)
(that mysterious man in black with cheap guitars for sale? sort of a don diego/zorro wannabe? with a guitar for sale)
