Worst TV comericals
« on: January 22, 2008, 10:52:27 AM »
What are the worst ones for you, the ones that make you cringe? I hate the herpes med ones as well as the kids yelling "tick tick" on the global warming ones.

Which one do you hate?

I haven't seen one in so long I can't think of any.  Everything I watch is recorded.  I click through commercials.

the Viva Viagra commercial comes to mind.  (although the music sounds kind of cool)

ANY feminine hygiene commercial

Enzyte commercials with that smiling dork

The Charles Scwab commercials with the actors appearing with cartoon effects.

The Geico commercials with has beens like Little Richard, Charo, and Burt Bacharach

Any mid-day commercials; i.e., sue someone, get a job, go to loser "tech" schools, etc., etc., etc...

Basically all scams to deprive the welfare queens of what little cash they have.

Me too.  Last night I was watching Medium with my youngest daughter.  I let her stay up because I knew she wasn't going to school the following day as she is sick....but I digress.  Anyway, she asked me to forward past the commercials. I said I can't because it isn't recorded and she said she forgot what it was like to watch a show with out being able to skip the commercials.

Don't forget the local car salesman yelling about some idiotic "limited time offer" at his sleazebag dealership.

Yep.  I can watch an hour-long program in about thirty-eight minutes.  Speed viewing.  Less fattening, too.

I have U-Verse television, so I can record, pause, or rewind live TV.  When a program comes on I want to watch right away, I tune in and go away for about twenty minutes or so.  Then I rewind it to the beginning so I can click through the ads.  I love technology  :old: .

The Geico commercials with the actors accentuating the "real" story.  Those irritate the heck out of me.  Instant change of channel.

My DVR will do the same thing.  Gotta leave the room or the phone rings...just pause live tv, FF through the commercials to catch up.  I is learning.

Oh, yes.  The "I don't have time for medical treatment, I have a life."  Sure, you have a "life"... that's how you got herpes in the first place.   :thatsright: :rotf:

I remember those commercials.  They do make herpes sound like a little "bump in the road" of life.   :rotf:

Go see Cal!  Go see Cal!  Go see Cal!





And ol' Cal is still kickin' -

Quote
HI, folks, Cal Worthington here,” said the voice from the television set. It was 1950; our family had just become the first on the block to buy a television set. When we turned it on, one of the first faces that popped up on its little round screen was a tall, skinny cowboy in a white hat selling used cars. In the background, singers chanted: “Go see Cal, go see Cal, go see Cal.”

Fifty-seven years later, that same cowboy — still wearing a Stetson — is still on television here, still selling cars. Who is this guy? Dorian Gray?

“I’m 86 now,” said Calvin Coolidge Worthington, in a down-home drawl, during a telephone conversation from his 24,000-acre ranch in Orland, Calif., about 100 miles north of Sacramento. “Born in November 1920 in Oklahoma, seventh of nine kids in my family. I’ve actually been selling cars since 1945.” In the meantime, Mr. Worthington has been married three times and had six children: the oldest is 60, the youngest is 6.
