Commercials you’re hating in 2018

Is there anything worse than this one for deal dash? It’s on every single day on Morning Joe. It goes through me like a knife.

OP, Morning Joe is as bad as the commercial you’re complaining about!

But seriously, that commercial raises another issue I’ve thought about but have never seen anyone discuss. Does anyone here watch Shark Tank? The rich investors on the show are celebrated all over the place for their greatness, but 95 percent of the products they buy on Shark Tank are shitty infomercial gimmicks. The most successful deals include “scrub daddy,” a sponge with a smiley face, “Daisy cakes,” a cake delivered in a tin can, and some kind of throwaway abdominal exerciser. All of it is “But wait!!! If you buy now...!” type of products. And yet no one ever seems to discuss that the sharks are just giving us more shitty infomercials and disposable plastic shit to keep building that continent-o-trash in the Pacific.

Oh, how about all the “Larry King Show” episodes that are on my TV menu all night, all of which are selling bogus health supplements. Am I allowed to be sad that Larry King’s career is at the same place as Alex Jones’s?

" Dog tested Dog approved" Subaru commercial

by Anonymousreply 5January 24, 2018 1:32 PM

r3 it's because world-changing products are usually not the kind that you can invent in your garage anymore, they require teams of people and lots of startup capital. So people try to make it big with products that are gimmicky (remember the Shark Tank with the pre-packaged glass of wine? Instead of buying a bottle, you buy a pre-wrapped glass of wine! I think it was a plastic "glass" with a seal over the top or something). And yeah one or two of them was interested in it, although I think off-camera later).

I've also seen products like tiny umbrellas (so you can open the umbrella in your car and your 'do won't get wet) that people have invested in, as a way of making it big (they didn't, in that case, and it didn't help that the owner/inventor was a very devout Christian who called herself a SERVANT and many of the umbrellas had bible verses printed on them - niche market).

It's really the way plebs chase the fabled American Dream, still.

R6 Yep. A friend of mine from West Africa came back from India once and she was floored. She met someone who manufactured paper-thin leaves of soap and made billions of dollars from them. They’re sold as a way of rationing an already cheap necessity to the poorest of the poor—the money comes from selling a mecessary staple to the most populous group of people. So my friend realized that’s where the money is—General Electric, Procter & Gamble, Wal-Mart...most of the super wealthy sell basics, not luxuries, throughout the world. Cheap, foreign-made infomercial shit sells more crap to poorer people, and there’s a lot of money in that. That’s why the sharks always want a low price point.

Two things that are right : the very tall actor playing the husband seems like a sweet guy , and when he goes to lie down on the bed, there's no hiding his huge flaccid cock .

R106 reminds me of something I hate.

After that woman trashed candidate Obama as “an Arab”, McCain corrected her to say he was a “family man”, as if to say, “he’s ok, he’s not a fag”.

It will take a generation to move past that kind of thing, if we ever do. It’s really not so hard, but some people seem to just want to hate a class of people.

R78, another fake thing about that timeshare exit commercial is when she says something like "we used to go all the time for the next two years." When you buy a timeshare, you can't go "all the time" - you can only go during the time period you purchased, typically a week.

It would normally annoy me, but the jingle for Ethan Allen "The art of making home, is putting it together" is really excellent. It's jazzy enough to be different and catch your ear, then it builds to a climax, and finally has a denoument at the end, all in 30 seconds. So unlike the normal background pablum used in most commercials.

Off topic. Sorry, I promise to hate something else very shortly.

Ads for the NutriSlicer, another "As Seen on TV" gadget that slices, chops, shreds, etc. The commercials use that trope that cutting with a knife, pulling out the Cuisinart or shredding with a box shredder is WORK! and that lugging around those old fashioned kitchen tools is awkward and tiring. This has been done since the dawn of time - have the actors in the commercial oversell the effort put into cutting some cabbage just to highlight how easy the NutriSlicer is to get the job done, but I guess that's how they con you into buying it.

R151, you can't be serious.

I recently visited my parents for a few days and was surprised at how hot and uncomfortable the pillow was. My parents aren't big spenders on guest room accouterments, and when I visit them I'm used to sleeping on pillows that must be 2/$10 or something, but those are OK enough.

I was making the bed the next morning and the lumpy pillow slipped out of the pillowcase and it was a MyPillow. It looked like it had been stuffed with whatever bits and pieces they sweep up off the floor at the dog bed factor, plus some cardboard pulp. No wonder it felt so gross. My mom must not have been impressed since it was banished to the guest room. Suckers.

[quote]Raindrops on roses - that stupid Sound of Music song sang by some bland butch female singer. Don't even know what the commercial is - but I hate it.

The actual words to the song are, "Raindrops on roses, and whiskers ON kittens," but in the ad, it's sung as "whiskers FROM kittens." There is a huge difference. Whiskers FROM kittens suggests that the whiskers were physically removed from the kittens—something I'm sure the kittens were not pleased about. I'm sure having whiskers yanked from your little kitten face wouldn't feel good at all.

The saving grace, as also noted by the poster whose quote I used, is that I have absolutely no idea what product is being sold in the commercial. Too bad.

Then they have a simulated demonstration to show us how good their paper will wipe your ass. Two forearms are held side by side and then blue goo is smeared on both. A hand appears and wipes both arms with paper -- one arm is totally cleaned but the other arm is shown to have a nasty streak left behind.

R294 I hate these fucking Chevy commercials with the "real people" reactions. I read an interview with one of the "real people" from those commercials. True, the people in the commercials are "real people." However, that's about where it stops. These people are recruited for focus groups, and then some are picked to be in a commercial. They're given wardrobe, makeup, etc., and the spot is filmed. While the spots are basically unscripted on the part of the "real people," the people are coached to act surprised or excited or dumbfounded or whatever the commercials calls for.

So when the Chevy guy says something like, "Surprise! The best selling truck in America is a Chevy," the people know that line is coming, and then are coached to react with, "Wow!" "No way!" "Are you kidding me?"

Knowing all this makes me hate those commercials even more.

I guess those Star Trek conventions have finally dried up and William is available to shill for a paycheck.

I almost never watch live TV, always DVR everything. So it was only when I was watching some of the US Open that I hadn't pre-recorded a few weeks ago that I had to watch commercials--the one with the "These are a Few of my Favorite Things" with the awful butch female singer with the foreign accent was a Volvo commercial (thank God it seems to be over). And those horrible Serena Williams Chase commercials--I hate Serena anyway. I agree with everyone who hates Wayfair--I think it must be the horrible jingles that get to me the most. I can stand most other things if I'm forced to watch. But mostly if I've recorded the program, I fast forward through the commercials. Don't know why everybody doesn't do that.

--If I never hear the words "preexisting conditions" again, it will be too soon! They all accuse each other of being against preexisting conditions, and most of them testify to the preexisting conditions that their children or they themselves HAVE!! There are at least three running in my area now where a parent claims an unnamed but "serious" or "genetic" or "hereditary" preexisting condition.

--FIGHTING for US!! They all claim to FIGHT for us! I don't want or need my leglislators to FIGHT for anything. There is plenty of fighting going on now! I would appreciate it if they would just do their fucking jobs and pass some decent legislation that would truly benefit people.

--Ridiculous claims: some cunt who is a current Repug incumbent in the House claims she singlehandedly put an end to internet sex trafficking! She has a small group of three women (one black, one very fat and one other one) all testifying how she saved them from this fate.

--Perfect families: this SOB who I hope will go down in defeat starts by saying, "We have two perfect little boys...just ASK THEIR MAMA." (He went to YALE, btw, but has to show us rubes how down home he is). He then goes on to say that one of them has...you guessed it-a preexisting condition!!!!!!

the endless libery mutual commercials. I actually worked for an ins company that got bought out by liberty mutual. I worked for a subsidary of liberty mutal as a result, in their independent agency company division. I worked in sales and marketing. The biggest complaint I heard from the agency system was how awful Liberty mutuals claims practices were. They really did do everything possible to get out of paying claims. I eventually left as it was embarassing to be associated with them.

To hear their ads, especially how great they are in claims, is just stomach turning. Sorry to be so specific. The one thing I did learn in my long career was the more an insurance company advertised, the worse you could expect the claims service to be.

Why do insurance companies advertise so much more than any other type of company or product? It seems that over half the commercials on TV these days are for insurance (and the rest are all pharmaceutical ads). TV has become an endless stream of Geico and Progressive commercials (both of which stopped being humorous years ago), endless Liberty Mutual commercials, and endless Farmers Insurance commercials. It's not like people go to the store and buy a new car insurance policy every day, so why all the fucking ads?

[quote]The biggest complaint I heard from the agency system was how awful Liberty mutuals claims practices were. They really did do everything possible to get out of paying claims. I eventually left as it was embarassing to be associated with them.

Several years ago I settled a very substantial workers' compensation lawsuit. Liberty Mutual was the insurance company that my employer used. Liberty Mutual was supposed to pay me by a certain date—as I recall, a couple of months in the future. They didn't pay and didn't pay and the due date was getting nearer. I implored my attorney to do something, as I really needed the money NOW.

"Don't worry about it," he assured me.

The due date came and went with no payment, and my attorney sprang into action. He immediately filed whatever he needed to file, and within a matter of days I had not only the full settlement amount, but nearly $10,000 in late-payment fees.

So thanks, Liberty Mutual!

Then at the end of the commercial, her older white husband comes to pick her up and they drive over to visit the young African American couple in their quaint New England home. Right. That happens all the time.

Not to derail, but how about two commercials one can dig? Actor's names wanted … who are they? You here with the good eyes, the knowledge, please tell us ...

The tv commercial for Optimum by Altice airing in the NY area … a family is moving and the young girl sulks leaving her boyfriend, only to arrive at new house and sees a young guy on a bike taking off his helmet,smiling. Father notes "you've got to be kidding" when they see the guy … I note the young guy is a looker, the actor also resembles father actor. Ok, so who is the young guy? Father, too, ain't bad.

In the tv commercial that;s another moving scenario, the young husband has car fully loaded, his wife comes to ask where her mother will sit …. "don't worry, won't leave without her." Who is actor? Somewhat nicely yummy.

All State ads kill me. They are also horrible with claims. Some idiot flipped his car over and over, diagonally in front of me, barely missing my car - landing in cornfield. Travelling back to my home after some holiday. Roads were a little slick, but if you slowed down, it was manageable. Anyhow, I slowed down my car, and was freaking out. I could feel the other car's roof hitting the pavement. This is before cell phones were readily available. I was like do I get out and try to help this idiot, then thought no, I'll drive up to next exit and find a phone to call for help. I started getting up to speed then, BLAM! Guy who'd been a good 1/4 to 1/2 mile away, slammed into me. When asked, he said he was watching the guy go into the cornfield (it was a flat area and you could see quite a distance). He had a 1979 LTD - a land yacht.

His insurance - All State. Lied to me again and again. Didn't want to pay for rental car. My car was totaled. Lied that this guy was only insured for 6k, when state minimum was around 12k at the time. I had to get an attorney. Their attorney was almost held in contempt of court. Finally got settlement from them - just bare minimum, but I just wanted damages. Still have a bad back as I broke the headrest and seat in my car when hit. All State SUCKS. No good hands there.

Shriners Hospital updated their TV ad again and that kid Alex is aging out of being a tiny and cute tween. His voice is now shockingly deep and masculine. They have him showing a smaller, younger boy around the facility and I suspect this kid will be taking over as the new face of SH. I hope Alex gets a good send off, and I don't mean a couple of those tacky blankets.

They did that on purpose so you'd look up from whatever you were doing to see if the sound came from the TV. I've even had to rewind the commercial to make sure the sound wasn't coming from inside my house. Ad tricks like this should be illegal.

There are probably 20 million commercials out there and a little girl getting excited over a stuffed unicorn for Christmas is where you draw the line? Makes me feel sad for you.

My Pillow. Ads are on just about every channel. .Switched off one channel, and within 5 minutes, ad is on new channel. Cannot stand him, even before I knew he was fucking Trumpster. He has to be a fraud, right? Anyone who has to let everyone know hey I'm a great Christian seems to then have a huge scandal come out later (he has to have his cross medallion showing right in the neck opening of his blue shirt).

The Big O Tires commercial, with the noisy jello mold that sounds like a guy jackin' it; one of those too-obvious, "this'll grab their attention!" ads:

Ads where women at home open up bottles of floor cleaner or air freshener and instantly become drugged/possessed to dance like stupid maniacs all around the kitchen or living room—or else break out in hysterical glee and games of paintball with their kids and they suddenly trash the walls and floor with mess and stains.

During a Coors beer commercial, it came to me for the millionth time how silly it is that no one ever sips from the can/bottle. The actors all stand around smiling and happy at the BBQ or tailgate party, holding the product (always full bottles) and never drink. Who made that dumb rule?

This is for folks in NYC who watch WNYW-Fox 5: Sick of the commercial showing the local anchorpeople strolling in their jeans and sneakers, just being plain old folks, and interacting with the commoners. I don't believe Ernie Anastos is that social on the street, and Rosanna (news) and Nick (sports) and Mike (weather), etc. are all smiles when confronted by people. And that wailing dog of a theme song... "everywhere I go oh oh, I'm still NY".

by Anonymousreply 567January 3, 2019 9:23 PM

Oh my god. Thank you (I guess?) to the person who posted that song by “Roarke”—that is the epitome of that AWFUL, trendy singing that all the young, non-rap female singers are doing nowadays. It started with, I believe, Lorde and Ellie Goulding (?), who were themselves copying the singing style of someone else who was inspired by Chan Marshall (Cat Power)’s tendency to sing every word as if there were an ‘R’ sound going through the whole word... The copycats just expanded it so that ALL the vowel sounds were distorted, and the timbre—instead of being deep and rich and satisfying like Chan Marshall’s—became little-girlish.

What the FUCK is with every young female singer copying that sound now? Do they really think that’s what singing is? Or do they think it makes them stand out? Because it really doesn’t make them stand out among their peers, as they ALL fuckin sing that way now.

You're too kind (I think),R568. I deserve nothing less than a roaring grease fire for even posting that. But since we're here...

Roarke is responsible for the University of Phoenix [italic]If I Only Had a Brain[/italic] monstrosity, but if you watch the video at R544 from 1:25 to 1:40 it far surpasses anything in the commercial; the teeth, the tongue, the closed eyes, the orange-peel skin, the way she turns to the camera to deliver her big line, not to mention the SOUND. It's just horrific.

And then there's this one...

I thought the commercials for that CBS show "The Neighborhood" were bad, but this new show with Gary Cole looks like a(nother) unfunny disaster. I liked Gary Cole in Veep, but he doesn't have the demeanor for network sitcom - he looks stiff and uncomfortable in the commercials. Maybe it's just for the paycheck.

That cover of Nirvana by Roarke is one of the most laughable vocal performances I’ve ever heard. And that’s to say nothing of the maudlin piano reimagining of the song.

Seriously, Rebecca Black’s “Friday” is more dignified.

YES, r578! That spoken “raised against the grain” was the first phrase that jumped out at me as being particularly insufferable. She is just altogether too precious.

The upside: she isn’t catching on. Her YouTube account only has one video, and her Instagram account has only 326 followers. I guess the world only can take so many Ellie Gouldings and Ariana Grandes and Phoebe Bridgerses.

But please enjoy a new tune from her Instagram, linked below.

Just saw one for Purple mattress - a father shows up to his son's house after being MIA for 20 years. He's back because he heard that his son has a new mattress. The son is in shock as the father dismisses his absence and goes to the son's bedroom and gets into his bed. It's played for comedy, but I think the premise is really messed up.

The smarmy eye rolling daughter in the credit checking commercial. While this little bitch is trying to read a book while laying on her ass, her mother has the unmitigated gall to make her a smoothie. Then when daughter dearest is trying to get her yoga on, that damned mother is vacuuming the carpet so her princess shouldn't have to lift a finger. She tries to get a nap in after all of the non-working she has done that day, but her fun loving energetic Mom is playing the drums with some real enthusiasm. Yeah, I can just imagine this precious one fending for herself out in the real world. She better hope that Mom lets her keep her lazy ass in that house.

I was just about to add this wretched commercial to the list, r589. I'm on the mother's side on this one. That daughter better have a good credit report, since she freeloading in her mother's house. Plus, the entire commercial just drips with awful vocal fry from those ungrateful daughters.

Holy shit, those Zulily ads that run CONSTANTLY on MSNBC are going to make me homicidal if I have to put up with them much longer. The “this toy oven/it’s genius” one is unbearable. I cannot stand the way that actress looks at her toddler in the high chair and says “It’s genius...”. I know it’s supposed to be funny, but it’s not. If I encountered someone in real life like that woman, I would have to leave the building. To have her thrust in my face dozens of times every day is torture.
