Scene - seductive temptress driving on deserted highway, sundress blowing in all different directions exposing legs and thigh...her right hand caresses her gearshift as if its a manhood in disquise...she sees a stranger, a hitchhiker in the middle of nowhere...she pulls to the right and stops; rolls down her window..

"Want a ride?

Are you insured?

Yes, yes I am..

By Survival?

No....

I can't take that ride!"



This is what we put up with in LA...

We have Magic Mortgage in RI with delightful commercials. There are two and they both star the same guy. In one, he's at a bar telling the bartender he can't get a mortgage because of bankruptcy, blah blah blah. In the other, he's passed out in a recliner with a bottle of rum, dreaming about the mortgage places he COULD go to. I guess only drunk people go to Magic Mortgage.

STUPID POINTLESS ADVERTS! DON'T MAKE SENCE!!!
WHO WRITES THIS LOAD OF RUBBISH!

bob's discount furniture. :shudder:

bernie & phyl's furinture commerical featuring joe thornton before the bruins got kicked out of the playoffs.

what's with furniture store commericals??

i believe these are both local/regional stores owned by eccentric baby boomers...they scare me at any rate.

 

[RockNRollDawgie]

why do commercials have to have an annoying guy waving his arms insanely and yelling?

 

[Mr. BAW]

In LA we also have the insane European electronic's salesman of admittedly reconditioned and or returned items...

"I'm Crazy Gideon! I'm Crazy Gideon..."

I sell it this low because I'm crazy! (said with a slurred foreign accent)

I wanna put my hand through the screen and yank this guy's throat....are you nuts? look at her!! get in that damn car!!!!!!!

That Esure advert is on every five minutes during the day! I hate daytime tv commercials, they're always either loans or car insurance or mortgages, which are annoying because: a) I don't want a loan, car insurance or a mortgage; and b) They're always badly written, acted and directed.

Perhaps the solution is to watch less daytime tv.

 

[ILuvLarryMullen]

Mr BAW, how about that guy who goes "or your mattress is freeeeeeeee!"

 

[Mr. BAW]

Mr BAW, how about that guy who goes "or your mattress is freeeeeeeee!"

I wanna grab his suspenders and snap into last year!!!

Makes it doubly disturbing because his ads are also on the radio!!!

"You're killing me Larry!"

Crazy Gideon sounds like a rip off of New York's very own CRAZY EDDIE (from the late 70s/early 80s) who sold electronics with a similar catch phrase "prices so low, I must be insane" (or something like that ~ memory is a little foggy right now).

He went out of business and I think was arrested for something.

There is always an insurance ad on tv here you probably know it, the man who does it is from Northern Ireland, as the ad is finishing a big sign comes across the screen "Not available in Northern Ireland" - why put a bloke from here on the ad then?!

I hate the elephant insurance ads.

The thing about annoying ads is you are as likely to remember them as the good ones.

do you rem the old Jaffa cakes one Fizz?

"Full moon"

Children "Full moon"

Teacher "Half moon"

Children "Half moon"

*Teacher wolfs down Jaffa Cake..."Total Eclipse!....Let's try again"

I hate that ad

 

[FizzingWhizzbees]

I remember that Jaffa Cakes one. Yummy biscuits, stupid advert.

 

[Laura M]

I hated the one for the drink Schnapps I think

"Beware the Judderman"

 

[FizzingWhizzbees]

Speaking of drinks adverts...I love the Sprite ones, with the little...um..sprite!

 

[Laura M]

I like the one for Smirnoff (I think, Im hopeless at rem names) with the girl on a blind date and she says her name is Alex. When the blind date waltzes into the bar she grimaces so the bloke she was talking to at the bar introduces himself as Alex and the blind date leaves again.

bob's discount furniture. :shudder:

Yeah? sent to LA to fulfill probation!

 

[Mr. BAW]

Paul's TV - The King of BigScreens always closes with

"I am the King!"

Do the cowboy thang!!!


My personal favorites are the career college ones


Good Job Girl: Do you have any tickets left for the Burning Glaciers concert?

Poor Ticket Girl: Yeah, but only the real expensive ones

Good Job Girl: That's okay! I'm a dental assistant!

____________________________________________

Little Sister: Mom say's there's no money for college

Big Sister: Then do what I did...become a medical assitant! That's how I met Dr. Radley!

Little Sister: Mom's gonna like this!



Who comes up with the names??? Dr. Radley and Burning Glaciers just crack me up

 

[Mr. BAW]

Speaking of drinks adverts...I love the Sprite ones, with the little...um..sprite!

I think they call the little dude "Thirst"....

 

[Schmeg]

We have a lot of commercials for things that aren't available near me! They're mostly fast food...Quiznos (eeeeeek those singing hamster things!) and Arby's. I don't understand advertising in a market that's not going to buy your product.

As for furniture commercials...You guys don't have the Cardi brothers with their Ni-Ro-Pe prices! Their names are Nick, Ron, and Pete so they had to make a gimmick out of that...and then they made themselves South Park characters and water-ski on Serta Posturepedic mattresses. I met Ron one time...he thought I'd be really excited but I really wasn't.

 

[madamadam]

mortgage rates are up again!

- GAH! Lost another one to Ditech.com

i hate cheap made commercials
every other ad=

 

[Laura M]

Oh dear, I seen an Esure ad last night.

There was some clown jumping around with a sign while this man talked. As always the little "not available in Northern Ireland" message popped up.

Schmeg those ads sound ghastly.

I know them flamming adverts are always on!!! That man is sooooooooo annoying as for the others !
All the morgages and loans adverts are stupid and CHEEZY!!!

I just put them on mute when they come on or turn the channel! I LOVE my day time tv know that i've finished school, i love my loose women, neighbours, music channels on sky! some times i love to watch 'doctors' when its ever on cos of sports!!

I do love some adverts though like the bicardi brezzer ads, churchel ads and the guiness ads! What do you think?

i've heard of that guy

 

[ILuvLarryMullen]

I just remembered another one I hate! Those damn Afflack ones with the annoying duck .

There was this one that cracked me up but I haven't seen it is a long time. It was a plumber and announcer kept saying his name wrong and he would go "Stephan, Mike? Stephan!." The guy looked like he walked staight out of the 70s, he looked like the dad from the Brady Bunch

 

[IWasBored]

yeah, that duck reeaaally needs to come out during hunting season

the arby's oven mit needs to meet the fate that our oven mitt met a couple weeks ago (i somehow left it on top of a burner that had just been on, and it caught on fire)
