The easy TV quizzes are a way to just get around the prohibition on holding sweepstakes over the TV; this way they can say it's a 'competition'. I believe that OfCom is going to make this stratergy illegal in the UK but I never heard what came of their plans.

Even if you go into a starbucks and order the most complicated thing you can, how on earth is it difficult to say "venti caramel frappucino with soy" or whatever ridiculous combination one can think of? I mean, none of the words are hard. If you really can't handle the tall/grande/venti distinction then maybe you should just make your own coffee? Then you can make it whichever size you like, without having to speak at all.

Also, yes, OTM re: MEERS. Learn how to pronounce mirrors! You are not so young or presidential that you should be mispronouncing words so badly!

Any and all commercials implying that the only bloody way to show one’s wife that she’s still tops is to pay out the nose for diamond necklaces or earrings or rings or whatever, even if it means you’re gonna spend the next year paying down the credit card debt.

Also: destroy all Chevy or Ford or whatever ads involving John Mellencamp’s “Our Country” and shots of people driving pick-up trucks or playing/watching high school football or holding sleeping babies or hunting or “This is our wingman” or “This is our truck” or “This is our coffee break” or insert BS iconic American mythical image here if you please, these things play during every commercial break when an NFL game is on and I’ve had enough

― molly mummenschanz (molly d), Friday, 29 December 2006 17:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh that annoys me so much, I mean the fact of the matter is that paying with a credit card at a Starbucks or a quick lunch joint always seems to hold up matters--you've got the people who ask to see ID from time to time, and you've got to wait for it to go through and then sign off on the receipt (ie most of these people do not have DEBIT machines, they run it as a bloody credit card instead of paying extra to let you debit). It's such a horseshit commercial, stop wishing the future is actually here and be honest. Or at least show a reasonable situation where credit card is better than cash, like at a large store or something.

― Allyzay heard you got beat up in a club. (Allyzay Eisenschefter), Friday, 29 December 2006 17:58 (seventeen years ago) link

I would like that commercial to be a two-parter, followed by how he escapes identity theft through the magic of song.

Or maybe a even a three-parter, with the guy behind him in line, doing an interpretative dance about his time spent in credit counseling.

oh, the bummerz thread on noize board reminded me of another hateful ad where they have completely made up a situation to pretend their product is good: Southwest's ads! The ones where they pretend that on other airlines you have to pay for the onboard magazine and then make a BIG POINT of saying that other airlines sometimes charge $5 for an in-flight meal (the obvious counter point being AT LEAST OTHER AIRLINES OFFER THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET FOOD ON THE FLIGHT??) or that if you call the stewardess, you will get charged $1. What in the world.

I feel like saying to them, you actually don't cost that much less than other airlines. In fact, you don't cost less than JetBlue (which offers food and tv!), and at least the other airlines don't make it an open fact on their website that ticket prices are some kind of a-la-Amazon-attempting-to-sell-game-consoles lottery wherein you can be charged anywhere between $59 to $400 for the exact same flight as someone else, not even be guaranteed a good seat, on the basis of what time of day you come after the tickets are released every month.

I really, really hate Southwest btw so my opinion might be colored by this but whoever is the person who thought up this ad should probably be punched, and the person who okayed it without thinking through the fact that, for example, Southwest usually does not offer movies, food, etc AT ALL kind of makes these things sore points to harp on.

― Allyzay heard you got beat up in a club. (Allyzay Eisenschefter), Friday, 29 December 2006 20:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Also: Southwest, you advertise more than any other airline, plz stop doing so and just put money into not having to have your weird expensive tickets for the same flights as cheap tickets system.

Maybe this warrants its own thread, but how many commercials have Of Montreal songs associated with them?

There's that godforsaken Outback commercial and I saw a NASDAQ commercial (who knew they even needed commercials?) with one of their songs as well. I don't really like Of Montreal, so I have no problems in calling them shills for the advertising machine.

Southwest sucks, as do their ads. And you're totally right: they're not that much cheaper. Actually, they're not the cheapest AT ALL.

Aw, it's such an affirmation to know that there are so many other people who have a hate-on for that Yoplait commercial. I really dislike that whole advertising campaign and I'm actually a huge fan of Yoplait's yogurt. But every time I see one of those I feel guilty for craving their light blackberry or key lime pie flavored yogurts.

How about those "talk to your kids about not smoking" commercials, huh? Talk about maintaining with long-standing, oft-disproven stereotypes. So mothers and daughters can only have meaningful discussions while shopping or doing clothing alterations and fathers and sons can only discuss things properly while making repairs around the house or playing basketball? Mmmm hmmm.

Oh, and all you so-called "hip" soon-to-be boomer retirees that that financial services agency is targeting with those commercials featuring "Gimmie Some Lovin'"? I can taste the desperation of your fast-fading relevance in this society, suckers. And remind me not to laugh too hard as I see you hobbling into the bingo hall because you broke far too many of your now-fragile bones trying to pretend you're still 25 and now even walking is painful for you.

I didn't like that lady "dancing" in the passenger seat of a car a few years back. Maybe it was a Mazda commercial? I'd kill her corpse!

ALL THE PEOPLE WHO TALK TO THEIR CAR, PUNCH IT, THEN APOLOGIZE TO IT AND OFFER TO TAKE IT OUT FOR DINNER. WHAT THE FUCK.

We were watching the World Series of Poker tonight, and they kept showing an insurance commercial that featured "testimonials" from supposed customers. However, when one old fat bald man opened his mouth and Casey Kasem's voice came out, we knew that were seeing a dramatization.

It was like one of those Mastercard stolen identity ads!

zora was the winner of the first joe millionaire!!

And what a fine claim to fame THAT is.

1st thing in the morning, before coffee, I read this as "electrocution lessons"

Solution: Drink more coffee. But no thanks, no electrocution for her. There are no advertising figures (presently) out there I dislike THAT much. Though those dumb yuppies on that Sirius satellite radio commercial who pull up to the drive-thru and don't even bother to pull away from their little toy long enough to place an order could use a few zaps here and there.

You know, I think I might actually dislike THEM more than I dislike Zora. I mean, at least I can pity Zora.
