Sudsmaster I hate the Old Navy commericals too

The only one I liked a little was the old lady with the big glasses she looked like a retarted drag queen.. Most likely one from Fort Worth,,,
 
The Old Navy lady

with the big glasses was former New York Times fashion editor Carrie Donovan. She was a real woman, and every bit a lady. Not like the character in "Devil Wears Prada," .

Unfortunately, she's no longer alive.

Jason...I hate Onstar too...don't like the fact that someone has the power to unlock my car and can track my every move. What happened to the good old days when you could just stick a coat hanger in the door and unlock it yourself? Do we really need all of this and if it is backed by GM look out! One false move and the damn Onstar will fall out of the dash on its own! I would rather trust Rand/McNally before I would trust some GM made piece of junk.

The worst commercials are those VW commercials that have a pleasant conversation going on while riding in a VW then BBBAAAMMM a car smashes into the side of the thing. YIKES! Who needs this?

Shock value

People are into that shock value thing. Like the stupid Onstar commercials and the new VW ones.

Another type of commercial I hate is like the ones Geico used to do where they'd trick you into thinking it was something else then someone goes "I just saved alot of money using Geico" And truth be known, most of the time they're more expensive.
 
I loathe all of the Carls Jr

Burger / sammich adverts, but I love the Wellbutrin ads
in which at least 2 of the principals state at least twice
with very smarmy satisfaction...... AND with a low risk of
Sexual Side affects..... wink wink wink
 
In the Atlanta area, we have a title loan company with a commercial...

"Getcher muuuny, yur muuuny, yur real muuun-ny, HAHA"

With this black woman, singing the above in pure ghetto, bouncing around the screen totally thrilled that she got money for her car title with some outrageous ripoff interest rate. The "muuuny" part is bad enough, as is her bouncing around with a fist full of crisp bills, but when she throws her head back to laugh the "HAHA", I just feel like strangling her.
 
Let's see.

Some really bad local commercials...

Scratchers (?) Bail Bondsmen. These feature a red-haired chump doing a white boy rap about how Scratchers got him out of the clink...

Eastwood Insurance. Plays on its name and tries to do a Clint Eastwood rip-off with an actor who is too young and good looking to be a convincing imitation. At least he doesn't say lines line, "Go ahead, make my day", or "Do you feel lucky?".

Then there are all the local car dealer commercials. Some of the dealers are getting so advanced in years I'm starting to worry they'll have a coronary or stroke in the middle of taping the next commercial.
 
Personally, I'm just happy the elections are over. ALL political ads are horrible, and enough to make you swear off voting. At least we get a few month's breather before the inanity starts again.

And the Wal-Mart ones are so hokey: The victim-y families whining about how much fun it is to shop at their stores. Ugh. If you want to see me have fun shopping, give me an unlimited expense account and set me loose at Marshall-Fields. ;-)
 
Who on earth would advertise mail bonding? Theres one here too and it stupid.... Hails Bails to be exact... Rymes with the Ac/Dc song (which they use)

Its so friggin dumb

Although Geico still is my new top, right behind it is that dam Cingular "Lock The Cash Box" and some thing to do with flippin light bulbs...

"Looks like some one woke up on the wrong side of the rock" ME!!! NOW GO THE F*&^# AWAY YOU DUM BASS CAVE MAN!

Those celebirty Geico ones are really bad too..Except for the one with (i think this is name) Vernon the little guy next to the grill...I like that one.. "Got my car fixed, new tail lights, new bumper, its my birthday"... I wanna see him on the b-b-q grill dancing though...

Hey... I could give geico an idea and have Jason over here shoot paintballs at them and make a big whopla outta that!
 
Celebrity endorsement embarrasments

I was disappointed to see James Garner appear in a commercial endorsing reverse mortgages... I suppose in his income bracket he doesn't even have a mortgage... or a need to re-mortgage his home. But my understanding is reverse mortgages tend to be high interest and not great deals unless you are really desperate.

Then there's Gary Coleman endorsing "Cash Call", another financial rip-off. You get an instant unsecured loan ... at a hefty surcharge... 90% interest!!! Why can't people learn to live within their means and not wind up even deeper in the hole from these scams?
 
YEOW!

That "real muuuuny" commercial for TitleMax is really awful, isn't it?

I also can't stand the "Gellin'" commercials for Dr. Scholl's; there is nothing more ridiculous than a big corporation trying to be cool.

My current most detestable commercial is one Ellen DeGeneres does for Amex- the one where she meditates about being charged twice for a pair of socks ("although, they WERE argyle"). That shot of her gnarly, knobby foot makes me want to upchuck.
 
Ellens Amex commercials are just about as bad.. Who cares about flippin sock...

Those DR. Scholls commercails are bad
 
RINSO, you remind me of an old Cheech y Chong skit on 8-Track tape I used to have. Blind Melon Chitlin' was the character and he sang a song that went a lil' sumpin' like this...GOING DOWNTOWN GONNA SEE MY GAL--GONNA SING HER A SONG---GONNA SHOW HER MY DING DONG. Those guys were so funny. Blind Melon was an old blues singer who played the harmonica in those skits.
