Cypress Sun Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 All of the above and the Stanley Steamer ad with the kid urinating on the floor in the bathroom. The news channels wasting your time telling you whats coming up next instead of just showing it. Any of the ambulance chaser ads and drug commercials....bleh.

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Oh oh! That reminds me of the cat calming products that imply the man of the house is peeing on the wall or scratching the sofa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I guess I'm the only one that cringes upon hearing the "Suuuuweeeet! Diet Dr. Pepper" Commercial. Boy, what a way to kill sales IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyatt Earp SASS#1628L Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Most all of the pharmaceutical commercials grate on me, especially the ones that use corney old pop sons as their theme song. "Oh, oh, oh Ozempic" is the absolute worst. The one that creeps me out the most is the guy who does his stupid little dance throughout the commercial. He bebops in the kitchen while pouring oil on the floor, his dog doesn't want to walk with him and he bebops in the office to deliver a report. He bebops mowing the lawn. And to top it off, in some scenes he has a beard and in others he's clean shaven. Ugh....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead River Den, SASS#915 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I think its the burger king commercial, wake up with the king, just wrong on so many levels, that guy dancing inthe ozempic commercial is creepy too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cavemen shtick wore out quickly but the rest has usually been good. I liked the camel annoying everyone in the office with his "What day is it?"

Sixgun Sheridan Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Probably the prize goes to all the various prescription drug commercials. It starts off with somebody enjoying life, walking through a pretty field or enjoying time with their family on a beach somewhere. The drug is supposed to treat some bizarre condition nobody outside the medical field even knew existed. Then as we watch Mr. Happy dancing on the beach with his kids we then get to hear "Side effects may include headaches, dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, sudden muscle cramps, involuntary spasms, foaming at the mouth, intense itching and redness, loss of vision and hearing, and difficulty breathing. Ask your doctor if Ambicrap is right for you." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Will Bartell Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Creepy...??? How about the stupid blue cartoon bears using toilet paper as an aphrodesiac?

Flo is plastered all over the place! She's also all over the Ohio Turnpike at the toll booths! Yea she's getting a little annoying! Item #267 that chaps my hide is the idea that sports stadiums are built with public money, then instead of naming them after some local hero they become known as Progressive Field, Safeco Field, T-Mobile Park, or whatever. I'd like to meet Mr. Safeco personally and ask him what makes him so special that he deserves to have a stadium named after him. Yeah yeah I know... money talks, **** walks.

Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 My mother was optimistic, all those years ago, when she commented that commercials were aimed for "the lowest common denominator of intelligence ... third grade."

J.D. Daily Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 The commercial that greatly offends the misses sensibilities is one for a shaver for women. There are bikini clad actresses using the product to trim bonsai bush. The bonsai are sitting on a table at a high that strategically places the foliage. The visual allows the commercial to let the viewer know what the product is for without saying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
