I hate that Verizon wireless commercial where the "universe" is trying to tell that chick to get a smart phone. I want to kill that commercial.

I hate the new Scott's ad, because the guy playing the Scottish guy reminds me of Hartnell with haircut.

the discover card commercials where the guy just keeps listing arbitrary things. answering the age old question of what do CPA's sound like when they rap?

I hate that one. It's not the random items or even the voice, it's the 5% cash back part.shmenguin wrote:the discover card commercials where the guy just keeps listing arbitrary things. answering the age old question of what do CPA's sound like when they rap?
It always seems so flat, out of sync, out of place, whatever.

The Chase Bank commercial with the guy finding a dollar on the sidewalk and going "OH YEAH!" which is filmed by a camera crew.

I hate that BK commercial with David Beckham. Mainly because I hate him. "I'll have a straw-bree, ba-NAH-NAH, smoothie" Say it right, Frenchy!
The ones with Salma Hayek however, carry on.

These commericals where Ice Cube runs his mouth to bottles of Coors Light are embarrassing.

Re: What current ad campaign makes you contemplate homicide?
I haven't gone thru all 20 pages of this thread so sorry if this was mentioned. But in light of this series debacle, I've got one.
Here in Florida, they've been running a campaign for Steak & Shake where a guy knocks over one of his wife's ceramic penguins...part of a huge collection. 2 of his 3 kids all look on in shock but the oldest one, a girl, has a knowing look on her face....she's gonna tell if she doesn't get her way. So the guy takes them to Steak & Shake to make sure they don't squeal on him. The tagline is 'Broken Penguin? What broken penguin?'.

Re: What current ad campaign makes you contemplate homicide?
Maybe even if they were, on a funny scale of say 1-50, a 1.5, it wouldn't be THAT bad. But between the stupidity of the actual ad, how unfunny they are, and him used to being "straight outta compton" Im just embarassed for the guy.JS© wrote:He even brought Deebo into it.DudeMan2766 wrote:These commericals where Ice Cube runs his mouth to bottles of Coors Light are embarrassing.

Re: What current ad campaign makes you contemplate homicide?
speaking of rapper in commercials and I know somebody dropped this one in another thread, that Lil Wayne Mt Dew commercial on the X bothers me. It took me about 4 or 5 times to even figure out what he was saying. Yeah, that's great, you're different and you hate normal. Now tell me why I should drink Mt. Dew. I don't think he even says anything about Mt. Dew in the commercial.

Add the series of commercials from The General. It looks like somebody made a series of crappy flash videos, didn't know what to do with them and decided "We have these videos that don't relate to anything, like a stubby general running around a football field. We even gave him a sidekick penguin as a buddy that laughs at him and sometimes rides along in his car. Wanna use them in our commercials?"

Shameless rip-off of one of my favorite ad campaigns ever - the series that Errol Morris did for Miller High Life about 10-12 years ago...Why Not Us wrote:Theres an ad currently for Sports Clip on the radio where they endorse Duct Tape more than their hair cuts. Can't stand it. And I did count, because I have the X on at work- in 48 seconds, they spend 34 of those seconds talking about duct tape.
