I loathe these commercials. The stupid song gets stuck in my head, and they're obnoxious. Unfortunately they're effective because I remember the website, but everytime it comes on the TV I yell and either mute it or change the channel.

Here's one:
YouTube - Free Credit Report Commercial: New Car

And another:
YouTube - Funny commercial from freecreditreport.com

They drive me nuts

I ask my sister to sing those commercials for me. At first I thought the commercials were stupid, but it's so funny when she does it.

I have the Subway commercial in my head all the time now....

"five........five dollar.....five dollar footloooooooong....." Gah! I keep going to Subway too.

 

[U2democrat]

Thanks Lies, now I have that jingle stuck in my head Subway is still good though

My students selected both Freecreditreport.com and Five Dollar Footlong as table names a few weeks ago.

Fortunately, they had to explain to me what it was they were talking about.

 

[Bonochick]

I sing about five dollar footlongs too, and it's usually completely out of the blue. That's not right.

yeah, the free credit report thing bugs me too. mostly cuz it's a scam. annualcreditreport.com is where it's at

 

[RedRocksU2]

I hate those too.

I also hate the commercials during the NBA playoffs about The Closer with Kyra Sed...whatever her name is.

I hate to admit it, but the little Free Credit Report jingles amuse me. There's only one thing I have a problem with & it's in the Seafood Restaurant commercial. The old lady sitting in the booth.... Seriously, I can't pinpoint exactly what the problem is but the first time you see her, everything's cool. The second time the camera's on her though, she gives the guy singing what's supposed to be a disdainful look, but to me she becomes one the creepiest things I've ever seen.

Anybody else notice this???

 

[kafrun]

THe guy who sings is nice to look at..

 

[LemonMelon]

That second freecreditreport vid is a good one.

The Subway jingle, not so much.

I had the tv on just now while I was loading the dishwasher. This commercial came on and I watched for Mrs. Creepy. You're right! I think it's how her eyes look. She's supposed to be disdainful, but instead she looks possessed.

 

[iloveedge]

F R E E that spells free, credit report dot com baby!


Ooh and that five dollar footlong is dricing me mad

Seriously... she doesn't need more crab cakes, she needs a friggin' exorcism!!

MSNBC has an article on the bane of my existence:

Sing it, FreeCreditReport.com guy! - Netiquette - MSNBC.com

 

[Carek1230]

I am getting sick of watching those $5 footlong ads eating the money. I have to close my eyes or mute the TV when they come on now. A N N O Y I N G

 

[Lila64]

I had this damn jingle in my head this morning (pirate one). I asked Maddy to name another song, any song to get it out of my head. She proceeded to sing the pirate one

 

[Serena Vox]

Those commercials get on my damn nerves. I always get them stuck in my head.

i hate to admit it, but i like that one too

i usually think all commercials suck, but the talking stain one never fails to make me laugh every time it comes on.

Always love hearing there are more talking stain fans out there!

MSNBC has an article on the bane of my existence:

This article annoyed me as they assumed that people believed that this guy in the commercials had all these credit problems and were outraged to discover he was an actor.
