Do commercials bother anyone else?

[gwilks98]

For some reason, I take commercials seriously and personally. If you make an obnoxious commercial my blood pressure goes up and I *must* mock you for it.

My current nemeses:
1. The Trojan Bare Skin commercial. What's to like about this commercial? The creepy dance the couples are doing? The awful 70's porno music? The douchy look the guy gives trojan man at the end? That they keep airing the commercial just about EVERY break. Or the fact that every time they name the product, I hear Bear Skin?

2. The Passat Audio commercial with Rocket Man playing. In the age of the internet, you can look up your own damned lyrics. Don't get me wrong: I love good car audio. But I'd rather the selling point be how it brings music to life, not that dorks who can't look up what they've been singing for years suddenly will have an epiphany.

3. Energizer's FreezeFrame commercial. Sorry, I just can't stand that song. It reminds me of those middle school dances where it would play and no one would know how to dance to it. Aside from being a repetitive shtty song, it gets stuck in my head to the point I want to put a burning q-tip up my nose.

4. Just about any commercial that has borrowed a hit/classic/seasonal song but rewrote the lyrics to fit whatever they're selling.


<pant pant pant>

Anyone else get driven crazy by commercials?

I might have seen some of the commercials you've mentioned. The Passat commercial is definitely a little strange and it didn't really sell me the car.

Thankfully, I have a DVR with my service, so I tend to pre-record the shows I want to watch and fast forward through the commercials.

yes.

it seems there are way to many "male enhancement" commercials on.
or maybe i'm watching the wrong shows.... :shifty:

also, did you ever notice that most commercials make the man out to be stupid? guess it's because women do most of the shopping??

I love the passat commerical. I am a hug fan of lyrics and people sing the wrong lyrics all the time to so any songs and dont know any better. People can be ignorant and still have a nice car, if you consider the passat a nice car. I am a lyrics pro. for some reason I remember song lyrics great, even to songs i ahve heard in ten years. I am also a pro at, "alternate lyrics". You give me a song and a new topic and I can fill in new lyrics to the melody off the cuff, lol its a gift! unfortunatly my wife wishes I would return that gift. exchange it for a dictionary maybe.......

Commercials bother me so much that I don't watch TV. *shrug*

We can add the new "any size, $10" pizza hut jingle. Can you maybe write a song with more than just 3 notes in it Hipster wannabe asshat?

I only see commercials on Hulu now. I disconnected the TV cable and watch Netflix and Hulu instead. I tune out the commercials automatically. I keep a game of solitaire on my computer and I play while I wait for the show.

Saving a fortune and not missing a thing.

My brother is a special needs kid who is completely tone deaf yet loves to sing.
Every time I hear them sing "looooonnnnnngggg" I think of how he sings.

Do they even hit a single note on that word?
