Commericals you don't get

goheels05

I don't get the Bud Lite commercial with all the people saying "I have nothing to declare."  If anyone could help me out, I'd appreciate it.

Who else has commercials they don't get or just don't like?

I don't get people putting their children in commercials.  I don't care about your kid and can't stand him/her either.  Boo on your tire place. Boo on you.

Remember those Apple commercials with Steve Jobs and was it... Jerry Seinfeld?  They were so pointless and stupid and were yanked pretty fast because no one got them.

I love the "Most Interesting Man in the World" commercials for Dos Equis, and the Bud Light "Real Men of Genius" commercials.  Even though I hate Bud Light.

I hate that kitty food commercial with the cat that must be tripping on acid, with all those obnoxious neon colors.

OH! and that new one for Quiznos with the singing cat.... so creepy

I don't get the commercial for a RX for some illness and it's a lady talking yet you only see her shadow and they don't ever show her. I don't get the point of not showing the lady.

I hate the Quizznos cat one.

I hate all the MGD 64 commercials that show the guy drinking Bud Light doing squats or riding a bike because his beer has more calories and he has to work them off before he can have another.  I seriously doubt guys think like that when they are at a bar. 

And yes to the Quiznos cats.  I'm usually a sucker for animals in clothes, but their voices are so annoying.

There's this stain-remover commercial (shout, maybe?) where this obnoxious girl who's maybe 11 or 12 starts talking about these jeans she wants that are "ONLY $100" and nobody would buy them for her so she's stuck wearing her sister's hand-me-down jeans that are ruined with bbq sauce. The whole commercial doesn't make sense to me. She's mad about the $100 jeans and then still not happy with the hand-me-downs even after the bbq sauce is gone.

I don't know. Maybe it's just that she's a brat.

goheels05

Ooh.  This one is old, but the Yaz commericials where the girls are sitting around in a bar talking about BCP.  Ok, yeah girlfriends talk about that, but they were using  medical terms. I know they had to do it that way for legal reasons, but just scratch the concept and try something else because that's forced and stupid.

Yes, I've seen that one!  I thought she was happy about the jeans, though, because her sister gave them to her thinking they were ruined, and it's the older sister who's unhappy in the end b/c little sister got the stain out.

All those commercials for the lower calorie beer kinda bug me actually - mostly because those beers are gross!  To me, anyway.  I mean if you really are trying to be calorie conscious, regular light beer isn't THAT bad.  And I think those MGD 64 and other low calorie beers have less alcohol in them, too.  If I want to drink, and get drunk, I'm going to drink stuff that tastes good and will get me there.  If I'm that concerned about calories I'd rather drink water.

I always find it to be such a downer when the RX commercials talk about how awesome this new drug is and then at the end list all the possible side effects really fast.  It's like, yay!  No more heartburn!  ...Except I might experience anal leakage, stroke, heart attack, night sweats or memory loss?  What the hell!

I'll hop on the Quiznos one....I hate all of their commercials.

I have no idea about the Bud Lite commercial...ummm I think Oscar Wilde something something like, I have nothing to declare except my genius...but I don't think it's related

That one annoys me too.

The chevy commercial with the little girl that shouts 'This seats for a little person.  I'm a big girl!'  Its pretty annoying.

I'm a lurker coming out of the darkness.....Hiiii

I don't understand the Dell laptop commercial.  All these guys are in a factory singing some song - lolipop I think - while making laptops and one of the factory workers stands up (like he's kneeled down under the conveyor belt) standing next to another factory worker and clips one of the straps of his overalls.....uh what exactly is doing down there with his overalls undone, and what does that have to do with laptops....makes zero sense to me...

I hate the denim diaper commercial for Huggies, where the French narrator goes, "I poo in blue." Ick.

goheels05

Hi lurker.  I will ditto that and add that I hate all Dell commercials.  They are stupid. 

npasquale16

I also hate the $100 jeans girl.  I always wondered how fast the older sister grew or how infrequently did they do laundry that the jeans would be passed down, but still have a BBQ stain on them.  Clean your house!

I HATE the Nestea and Coors commercials that act like their drink is the coldest on the market and that is their selling point. Um NOOOOO. It depends if you put it in the fuucking fridge or not, NOT on your actual product.

Hold up!  Do you mean to tell me the mountains on the Coors can aren't built in refrigerators?!  I've been gypped ;)

I'm so glad I'm not alone in my hatred of the $100 jean girl. I don't know if she's an ingrate or not, but I'm treating her as such simply because she doesn't need $100 jeans at 11 anyway. Hrmph.

I hate the new Apple commercials because they make me teary eyed.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

I don't watch many commercials, but the one I HATE is that Kia commercial with the singing rodents riding around in inanimate objects. My choices are to buy a Kia or commute by toaster?

pirategal03

There's a local car dealership here that's running a rip-off of the Mac vs PC commercials.  Some young guy talks about how you can shop on their website, and an old guy says "but you can still come to the dealership!"  Then they end up hugging.  Or something.  It's weird.

Fever, I was all prepared not to care and then he was all choked up and so was I.  I don't have a beard though.  That's how I told us apart.

At my cousin's grad party, my sister and I spent an hour trying to explain to my grandfather that the mountains turn blue when it cold.  He still doesn't get it.

I usually like the geico insurance commercials, but I hate the new one with the guy at the podium and disco ball music.  It isn't amusing to me at all.  Bad Job, Geico commerical writers.

I've seen it several times and ALWAYS choke up.

This is my new favorite commercial:

LOL...ditto to all those commercials!!  especially the quiznos one, the $100 jeans and the stupid new denim diapers.

i also HATE the new Kia Soul commercials with the stupid singing hampsters.  the original Kia commercials that had the hampsters were stupid, but at least they were just 'hampsters' (no clothes, no singing, etc).  now they tried to make these stupid hampsters all "gangsta" and it's SOOOO ANNOYING.  i kinda like the Soul, but seriously, I want to write to Kia and tell them that commercial has officially turned me off of ever buying any of their products.
