Carls Jr. commercials are disgusting. Did you see the one for the double pastrami burger? That's right, two beef patties with pastrami piled on. Who the **** would eat such a thing?

Boris man I literally get nauseous in my stomach when they throw the burger down at the end of the commerical.

Then I think how many days after eating that will I have a heart attack? It just does NOT look appetizing WHATSOEVER.

I have to avert my eyes with the burger drop, yes.

And now they have that breakfast one where it's eggs, cheese, sausage, hashbrowns and ketchup all in one sandwich.

actually I admit some commercials attract my attention away from the computer screen.

Those Vonage (internet phone) commercials are kind of amusing. and the song is kind of catchy. woo-hoo. woo-hoo-hoo.

There's a car commercial with a break dancing Gene Kelly sequence. It simply uses Kelly's head from the 'Singing in the Rain' song and dance routine and places it on a contemporary dancer's body, to an updated electronic version of 'Singing in the Rain'.


It looks as realistic as if a 'Dawn of the Dead' zombie had decided to take part in 'Les Sylphides' or as if Michael Jackson impersonated an African American adult male.


Whoever thought up the misbegotten marriage should be made to watch colourized films dubbed into Farsi.

All commercials irriate me. I either tape shows and fast forward through them, or I use a popup blocker while online.

I'm a smart consumer that already knows what I want to buy.

There is a delta commercial with "happyness goes in the circular motion" song which I find annoying, but is stuck in my head.

That BK commercial is obnoxious.

I hatre genital herpes medication commercials- "I can now live with genital herpes". Good for you, I don't need to know.

And pretty much any commercial by a local car dealership is bound to be so obnoxiously bad that you want to pump lead into your a la Elvis watching Wayne Newton.

As for the OP, I really like the new BK commericals. It's based on an older commie song "Sugar Rock Candy Mountain."

Exactly


Funny... on all forums I visit a thread about great/annoying commercials has been started within the last week


The worst commercials I remember (from back in the days before I got online) was the commercials for phone-sex in German tv after midnight... now those are disgusting, unless you like to look at a 50+ year old grandma with minimal clothes or girls that for some weird reason almost looks like some of those wannabe-girls guys...

I think the Canadians here will agree with me on this one: The Canadian Tire commercials. Especially the "Canadian Tire Guy" who stars in all of them. That guy is a smug, know-it-all *******!

Good description of him:

quote:
Canadian Tire is a northern version of Home Depot; Canadian Tire Guy is their television spokesman, who's appeared for years in commercials touting the value of their many cheap and ridiculous MasterCraft products. Canadian Tire Guy’s appearance is that of an immaculately groomed, effete geography teacher—think Bob Vila with all the rough edges sanded off.

Unlike Vila — a spokesman who seems genuinely concerned about including you in the grand adventure that is ambitious home improvement — Canadian Tire Guy is more focused on the many products he owns that, once demonstrated in front of you, clearly illustrate his superiority to you as both a consumer and human being. The man is what the physical manifestation of smug would look like, if it wore a studiously trimmed beard and pressed its shirts.
