What Commercial REALLY bugs you?

Stang · 01-17-2003, 05:00 PM

There are just some commercials that just bug the HELL out of you!!

Mine is the one around here, dont know if its local in Washington or if others have it, about these people that say their phones have been turned off and to go to a company called "Tel West" to get it back up with out any extra charges on your bill.

There is this one part when the girl or guy say "What do I do? My phone is turned off" I always yell at the TV and say "HELLO PAY YOUR BILL MORON, STOP CALLING LONG DISTANCE FOR ONE" This commercial bugs the HELL out of me!

GRRRRR

I hate the new Hyundai commercial where the parents are making out in the back seat. That just gives me the heeby jeebees!

Stang · 01-17-2003, 05:04 PM

Yeah thats just not right

Ahhhh, the joys of not watching TV on a regular basis.

Jode · 01-18-2003, 08:59 AM

Actually w/ Tivo I miss a lot more commercials than I used to.

Yeah, the hundai commercial is pretty bad. I don't watch much TV, so I don't see many commercials either.

I don't watch TV anymore... so I see commercials once in a blue moon... and for the most part I find them entertaining... either because they are entertaining in and of themselves or because they are so bad that it is amazing some ad executives somewhere thought that it would be a good commercial.

Ambush_Bug · 01-19-2003, 11:45 PM

Sadly, there have been cases where the commercials (both good and uber-bad, as Kit pointed out) are more entertaining than the show.

However, after having seen a very nice PVR set-up at a friend's house, I'm beginning to think that getting one would be a good idea.

I saw a new Nike Commercial yesterday, where this ugly naked guy was running around a soccer field causing trouble with cops chasing after him because it was during a Pro Soccer game... very funny.

I usually change the channel during a comercial. They're usually pretty boring.

Stang · 01-20-2003, 01:06 PM

Well when a show is pretty bad I go lookin for a new show or just dont watch any tv. Solves that problem no wasting of time with a stupid show.

I usually have a back up show to turn to during commercials that way I dont have to watch them

.

We saw that commercial too SH and that is just a weird one. When we first saw it we were like what the hell are they showing a soccer game on FOX? It goes on and on too, you think it ends but then he comes back.

XMEN Ashaman DTM · 01-20-2003, 01:58 PM

Yeah, Stang. When I watch TV I try to have two channels. I usually catch both Alias (on ABC), and Law & Order: CSU (NBC) at the same time. Same thing for Stargate: SG-1 (SciFi), and Third Watch (NBC) on Monday nights. That way I don't get bored.

It can get confusing though.

Jode · 01-30-2003, 05:41 PM

I hate those Oxygen commercials.. "OH! oh OH! OH!"
ahhhhhhhhhh SHUT UP ALREADY!!!

Stang · 01-30-2003, 05:53 PM

YES! Those ones are very annoying.

XMEN Viper DTM · 02-15-2003, 06:59 PM

There's the Verizan wireless commercial where the guys walks everywhere with his cellphone saying "Can you hear me now?" over and over. I always make fun of it because it sounds more like they are saying that their service doesn't work. It's more like "Can you hear me now? No? How about now? No? Can you hear me now?"
