I don’t know about you, but there are certain commercials that I hate. They make me want to cause severe physical harm to my person. In contrast, there are some I love, like the Discovery Channel commercial with the singing astronauts. I love that song. I sing it sometimes. (see below) I know, I'm a looser. I know this, reminding me doesn't make it any more true. Anyway, my lameness is not what this entry is about though.
1. The Dump.
I HATE these commercials. If you don’t live in Dallas, you are blessed. If you do, is there anyone who likes those? “To the Dump, to the Dump , to the Dump, Dump, Dump!” The man who voices the commercials uses this noxious enthusiastic voice. Kill me, please.
2. Sleep Experts
They are all moderately irritating, but the one with the barbershop quartet drove me crazy. “Twin, full, queen, (high pitched now, all together!) or king, for one low priiiiiice!” Seriously?
3. Sprint
“I think I’m falling in love… with a phone!” How disgusting have Americans become that we would enjoy seeing a woman talk about having an affair with an inanimate object? It just gives me the creeps every time I see it. I wonder if the marketing executives thought they had a winner on their hands…
4. Sonic
The couple makes me mad. The woman is a jerk, and the guy is a idiot. “You don’t know what you want.” How rude can you get?
5. Great Wolf Lodge
AHHHHHHH!!!!!! I want to hit my radio every time one of these plays. It has a folksy tune, mixed with jingly saccharine sweetness. Then there is the wolf howl at the end that makes me want to burn down the Great Wolf Lodge. (Deep voice) “They’ve got... (Woman) “Lots of water…” (Deep voice) “They’ve got... (Woman) Lots of fun…” (Deep voice) “They’ve got... (Woman) “Lots of everything for everyone!” Gross.
6.Geico Cavemen
Enough Said.
7. PedEgg
This is possibly one of the most disgusting commercials ever. It is a foot shaver. Bad enough? Not yet! First they show these funky feet in sandals, and they demonstrate using a traditional foot shaver. Of course the woman can’t use it. (What is it with informercials making it seem like traditional tools are harder to use than a slide rule?) On a silky pedestal appears the PedEgg. They show a group of women happily PedEgging their feet in a large group. Do any women actually shave their feet in a group? I doubt it. Then to make things worse, they talk about how “traditional shavers make such a mess” (the shavings are flying everywhere with a woman looking very frustrated). Then the announcer boasts that the PedEgg “keeps all the shavings contained!” So what do they do? They promptly dump the shavings out on a black towel! I think that they took it too far. Blasted PedEgg.
8. Cialis
Two people sitting in a bathtub, on a hill? Do they realize how heavy cast iron is? How are Sally and unnamed guy supposed to drag those things out there, and fill them up? Who has two spare claw foot bathtubs? Who would want to go through the hassle?
9. Bowflex
One line- “I gave all my fat clothes to my fat friends.” !!!!!! Excuse me, but did you just call out your friends on national TV and accuse them of obesity? What a dipstick. I hope his friends dumped his butt.
10. A T & T
The one where “Jen” is hanging out with the “dorky boy”. All we need is to reinforce to teenage girls that it’s ok to be a jerk and look down upon people. Teenage girls are rude enough, so why not encourage them to be more so! Besides, “cute and popular Paul” will wind up addicted to Vicodin, an alcoholic and become co-dependant on his mother anyway.
Enough for today. Are there any you hate? Join the festivities.
Just for Fun
