Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 They most all get old real fast. I thought it was a nice touch for all of the Christmas commercials to run well into January. If they are not smart enough to figure out that Christmas is over, I sure ain't gonna buy their products.

Presidio Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 What the Hell does the 2 Old Bathtubs mean??? Dunno. But, it does kinda defeat the intent of the commercial . I dislike any commercial concerning medications.....where side effects outwiegh the cure and seem to be more serious than the illness to begin with. Gotta wonder. ......

U B Mountain #40498 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 When we watch a show. We have a Time Warner instant record thing built in. So we watch just a little then put on hold for about 5 min. then rewind and when they brake for them we just fast foeward. Works fir us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Any Lawyer ads, especially those with class-actions, in which the injured receive pennies for every dollar they get. All these ads do is increase frivilous suits. MT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I'm with Rick on this....the last one and the next one. Basically all of them. The only commercial I really liked was from Miller or Bud...I forget. But it showed a bunch of bored calf ropers around the chutes. Next frame shows a frantic ambulance chasin lawyer bustin the barrier then gettin roped and hog tied. I loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 A FEW, I say a few, that are entertaining, but only if they are run infrequently. Most of the beer commercials have gone away from being entertaining to be dull and uninteresting. They try to be clever and end up being dull or duds. Car commercials are bad. They are directed to a special group and have really no appeal to most of the population. I can't tell you when I heard a car commercial that told me anything about the engineering. Most tell me I can hook up all of my latest electronic devices to it, but I don't have any electronic devices that I can hook up. I am awaiting the day when the commercials are in chinese. My wife and I both wonder about the two bathtubs also. We laugh at the Jack In the Box commercial with Jack visiting his family and his father has an "emergency".

Subdeacon Joe Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 The Chef Boy-r-dee commercials that teach kids that they are not supposed to like vegetables. But hey! Buy their product and you get ONE full serving of veggies in every salt and starch laden cup! But the kids are not supposed to know that and the adults act like idiots to keep the kids from finding out. Also - the car ads that are putting the kids as the decision makers for picking out the car. (toyota vans?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogwood Annie Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I usually liked the Bill Cosby commercials with the kids. And the Christmas time "Clydesdale" ads. All other commercials are annoying. Monte is fast with the Mute button when ads come on. We watched Lonesome Dove this weekend. First time I saw it.

Cypress Sun Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 The attorney commercials are the worst.........Morgan and Morgan, for the people..........I'd like to strangle him and Beltz/Ruth. The singing whatever it's supposed to be for HH Gregg is really annoying also. The news when they tell you what is coming up next..........30 minutes later.

Dog Ears Wilson, SASS #77948 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Yep, they're all pretty bad.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Yep. I could understand if it were the script writers or the camera crew or the producers alone. But some imbecile has to approve it at the Corporate level and then somebody has to approve the budget. So I am a Senior Vice President, and the advertising manager comes to me and says, "WE are going to run an 30 second ad at the Super Bowl and it will only cost us X millions of dollars to reach an audience of say 30 million people. About 1/10 of them will be our target audience. I need your signature on the authorization." Then I say, "Sure, OK. Let's do lunch." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
