Rye Miles #13621 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I hate all commercials but the Arby's guy is really creepy, don't think I'll eat there anymore and what's up with the dude Limu and his "emu" on the Liberty Insurance commercials! KFC needs someone new too, someone who actually looks like the Colonel! The local car dealers are really bad, they scream and yell at you, no way I'm buying a car at those places! Got any that you think are really creepy!!???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Toilet paper ads that use "cute" words and jingles to describe bodily functions; Sanitary napkin/tampon ads Male "enhancement" ads Drug ads Shyster ads, claiming that certain lawyers can get you great recoveries from drug and medical device manufacturers for "defective products" I'm sorry, but there are just some topics that are best discussed with your doc and resolved factually - not relegated to mass marketing slogans and animated bladders leading you around by the hand.

Trailrider #896 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Not so creepy, but the Jimmy Dean commercial has a voice-over that purports to be himself.

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Nothing against her - she's an actress working for a living and for the exposure she gives the company, I would think she'd be worth more.

Trailrider #896 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I can't recall the advertiser (just shows ya that the ads themselves are so entertaining that the product is forgotten), but the "Running of the bulldogs", where the guy gets knocked down, and one of the dogs comes up and licks his face is funny!

Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I like Flo.

Pat Riot Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 When my wife and I moved into our new home here in SoCal in March we got a great deal on internet but it came with basic cable. For two evenings we still didn’t have our PS3 and everything hooked up so we watched regular cable TV. I had forgotten how annoying commercials were and how many were medical commercials for prescription medications. ”...side effects include (insert things here you didn’t know a body could have and continue living)” And Sixgun is right! The worst ones were at dinner time. That was the first time I had watched commercial TV in years. I am hoping to keep up my trend if not having to put up with it for years to come.

Blackwater 53393 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I find the Cottonelle commercial where they “wipe” the peach and then talk about taking the guy home to meet the other guy’s parents! The Pepto commercials and the body function/sexual enhancement ads have taken things more than a little too far!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
