3 worst commercials on tv right now
 

Always get chili on your nachos bell grande

Music is my boyfriend

and

Watch me move with my juke


They always make sure to play the most irritating ones like a billion times so they just get pounded into your head

I haven't seen them. "Music is my boyfriend" sounds the lamest.

I'm quite happy to have absolutely no idea!

the taco bell one is definitely the most annoying.

how do i even know this? i barely ever watch tv.

Suggestion: Put down the remote.

For those in the UK, it surely has to be those shite 'confused.com' ads. Fucking hell. I'd like to kick whoever thought that up in the bollocks. Twats. Ugh.

agreed about the taco bell commercial, but everytime i see it i think to myself 'now why don't i have a girlfriend with dragon tattoos' and then i think 'oh that's right, because i'm chained to this goddamn totem pole'
DO NOT say to someone of Cheyenne decent, 'so uh, the nineteenth century eh? great technological advancements there. inventing all kinds of things. like machineguns.'

i know a kick ass commercial though and here is a quote from it:

this is the freezer
we keep frozen things in the freezer
understand?

People still watch Tv?...

i heard it used in conversation yesterday. As in "this is difficult - i am pretty confused.com."

yes.

people still drink cough syrup ?
........
yeah i went the extra few dots. alright it is not a big deal (the way)
sit there with just three dots,
but i thought, you know
I thought hey, why not put an extra few dots there
it wouldn't really cause alarm, probably not
and it wouldn't really
if you think about it
but i'm not asking you too
no, that was for the Cheyenne
and it didn't end up well for them.

but if you've read, you know all about that
so don't worry.
and don't rhyme
'heart' with 'fart'
in the pressence of a chief
srsly.

I may drink cough syrup right now (which is opening my mind), but you'll always be someone who watches television (which ruins people's mind).

hey, i'm not going to really stand up and die to defend television. but i'd suggest getting second and third opinions about the safety of your dxm only potion. a mind can only open so much before the door rips the fuck off its hinges.

true... but I think my body will let me know when it's okay to quit. I only do it like 20 times a year, afterall. I'm sure it's safer than people who get drunk/smoke every day, honestly..

wait, you were serious about drinking syrup all those times? i thought you were bullshitting.

well, depends on the time, obviously.

I only do it 20 times or so a year, like every 2 or 3 weeks..

So if I make 500 posts that go "ROBOOOOOOOOOOOOO" .. who knows..

I really hope that doesn't catch on. :eek:

cheer up and go here:

Do you have Charlie Brooker's book? I read a bit every night and on the bus, I can't help but burst out laughing at his insults.

i majored in marketing and i can safely say it's one of the most disgusting endeavors that one can do. i don't regret studying that, because it has made me realize a lot about a lot of things but yeah, marketing and advertising are fucking awful.

but it seems that, especially now a days, people tend to hire the most stupid, uncreative people in the business to do advertising, or they try to cope their lack of creativeness with -relatively- cheap tricks (like buying 10000 spots a day on 50 channels to put a semi catchy, annoying bit and have it stick, but instead get people to hate them or, worse, forget what the ad is trying to sell).

I dont Danny no. He is one of those people you can invest faith in isnt he. When you watch anyone talk about popular culture they either have a braindead twat "Isnt Hollyoaks great" attitude or theyre so-much-smarter-than-you-that-they-deliberately-dont-have-a-TV.
Screenwipe should be as regular as old people dying from flu

I assume you know my quote was from Bill Hicks. And i lived with a marketing student for a year, together with having my teenage years flooded with cynicism towards pack behaviour. So the whole concept angers me unless its simple and easy to understand. I press MUTE on the telly and do something else when the ads are on because they fuck me off so much.

of course!!! that bill hicks bit, always makes me laugh, yet he's true in his anger...if dude would have written his jokes down and gotten irt published, he would be deemed a philosopher by now.

the whole time i was in college, teachers would say "watch the commercials, see what they are trying to do, analyse them", i tried it giving a crap twice, saw how transparent they were and then made a point of skipping them, the mere second i glimpse at one makes me sick.

you know what new "marketing strategy" they started implementing for the ads around here? they broadcast the shows at like half volume so you have to crank the tv up just to listen to it at a good level, then the commerciales hit and they are at top fucking volume. your action of muting the set when the ads come up reminded me of this and why i started doing that too.

this thread reminds me: everyone here should chekc out the film how to get ahead in advertising. it's funny! and british!

i have to mute the tv when ads come on, or i go nuts. It really does feel like fresh air in my lungs when i hit mute..
mmm Mute

Low-budget commercials for local businesses are a special kind of bad.

i hate those FUCKING GOD FORSAKEN TACO BELL COMMERCIALS.
and basically all commercials.
but i like this one on VH1 about mosquitos in africa. it makes very little sense but it's rather entertaining.

you said it.

I like how bad local ad campaigns can develop recurring themes, character development and even border on their own mythology over time, yet still remain horribly amateurish and badly executed.
Sometimes I wonder if they're actually trying to be that bad, which would be awesome.
