Commercials You're Currently Hating - Summer Solstice Edition 2019

What is up with those Mayo Clinic commercials? Is the Mayo Clinic so fucking remote that you can't get to it by plane? You can only drive or take a train to it, and it's gonna take you days to get there?

And in this particular commercial, what's up the dyke woman who drives her friend all the way to the clinic, then just drops her off in front and drives away? The girl's probably dying of cancer and her lesbo friend can't be bothered to park and help her get checked in? Jesus, what a cunt!

The fucking drug companies and their ads for psoriatic arthritis, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, blood clots, heart failure, cancer and every other med under the sun. Each one is worse than the last. You never saw these until a few years ago and now they’re EVERYWHERE. Big Pharma is making billions.

I actually think the Mayo Clinic ads are very effective and well-done, especially the one with the young guy who screams in nature.

But yeah, that is weird how the woman drives her friend all that way and then just drops her off at the entrance to fend for herself. I half expect her to say, "Hey, if you should die in there, can I have your truck?"

Okay, please forgive any political incorrectness... but there are millions of aspiring actors across the country. So why did Publix's advertising campaign pick the queeniest guy on the planet, one who takes Gayface to a new extreme (and maybe Horseface too) as the husband in this shoot? Had they made him married to a guy with children, sure. But did someone at a demographic meeting say "Let's target families where a woman caved and married her gay beat friend so she could have kids before her clock timed out."

I can not watch it without scoffing and it plays non-stop in the Southeast.

This commercial begins with one of two men coming into the kitchen of a house with a bag of groceries. Another man is waiting in the kitchen for him and after the first guy puts the grocery bag down on the counter the second man starts to unpack it. He pulls out a few grocery items and then he pulls out a quart of milk. He then SLAPS his partner right across the face really hard and screams "I told you we ONLY drink SKIM milk in this house!, how could you be SO STUPID?!?" He leaves the other guy with a look of absolute shock and shame on his face.

He wasn't the only one shocked. The first time I saw this commercial I thought for sure I had stumbled on to an SNL skit or something. I'm not going to lie, my first instinct was actually to giggle when I first saw it because the slap and his anger was SO over the top and literally comes out of nowhere. It took me a few minutes to realize it wasn't a comedy skit, but a real attempt to show a same sex couple in a domestic abuse relationship.

I've seen it a number of times since then and although I think it has a good message (anybody can be in an abusive relationship, even a same sex couple), the acting is SO over the top that I still find it more comical than anything else.

And I so want the slapped guy to punch his abusive partner right the fuck back.

by Anonymousreply 74August 15, 2019 1:09 AM

Hilarious. We've come a long way, baby. Love that the argument has to be over Skim Milk, no less.

Even worse is when they guy tries to give a steamy QasF "Come fuck me" look into the camera at the end. Cringe worthy stuff.

Loove that Steven kid too. Bet we'll see him again on some show. He's good in the role too. Best was the "GOTTA go to Ross" kid with his young floozy live-in girlfriend but can't find that one online anymore.

In the Ugh department: the guy who drops his red moist chicken wing on the floor and then it shows how dirty the floor got but because of Clorox, he can pick it up and - it is implied -- eat the dropped chicken wing. Complete with dust and crunch and little hairs, no doubt. Vomit.

Also if I see JJ Watt on some fishing barge cleaning a river or the baseball player helping the little brat with her jewelry stand one more time, I will puke. "What is the dream?" Has nothing to do with the company being advertised. A new trend (see the Sue basketball chick and the Jibber Jabber guys with her statue... what the fuck? Imagine that board meeting at the ad agency).

I've never found them funny and never thought the actor is interesting or attractive or clever. Now there are two new versions: in one, he's pretending to be a pet cat messing up the house -- in the other, he's pretending to be a pet dog riding in a car. He's not very good at it and the writing doesn't help.

That HORRIBLE Comcast ad with two black dudes, one of whom is a short, ugly, squatty little man wearing an oversized pair of pink-framed glasses.

"I see you got rid of that DEE-YUSH," says the first guy as he enters the house. He then proceeds to completely pick apart his friend throughout the rest of the ad. Toward the end of the commercial, the idiot wife says, "they even paid us $500 to buy out our old contract." Only there's a nanosecond of hesitation between the words "old" and "contract," and it boggles the mind why the producers of the commercial didn't just have her do it again. I fucking HATE that ad, and can only hope that Comcast goes out of business because of it. Unfortunately, I don't think that's going to happen.

Two of my favorite commercials of all time have been car ads featuring black families. One was the Christmas ad of the young couple who kidnap the white car salesman to use the test drive to do all of their Christmas shopping, ending up at home, with him stunned in the backseat, and the wife opening the door asking, "Don't you want to meet my family?"

There was another interesting one with the black wife putting the car into a very tight parallel parking space in front of a house. The scene alternates to the front lawn of the house where (presumably the son) is riding around on a tractor mower, while his parents are amazed watching the woman parking the car in the very tight space.

Fox has a new reality show called "Flirty Dancing" in the works and it just looks like a ridiculous waste of time. Every time the commercial comes on, I shake my head at the uselessness of it.

Basically, the show is trying to be The Bachelor but with dance moves. The premise is that two people with dance training will learn a choreographed dance set with a passive partner, but then they will get paired with a second dancer who learned the same dance, The intention is to see if when the fixed up pair dances together, whether sparks will fly and will this lead to a romantic pairing, This sound almost as desperate as the upcoming show that has teams building shit out of Legos.

There's another Shriners Hospital ad running in my area and it looks like they may be phasing out that last little kid (name?) who was taking over Alec's position. The latest child they're focusing on is an Asian boy, with a thick head of dark hair -- he may be the next up and comer poster boy for the facility. He's cute (no homo/pedo), speaks to the camera from his wheelchair; he has all of his limbs, so there's no shock factor like some of the other, more visibly challenged kids. Good spokesperson material.

Wonder if they'll ever make a girl the star of their commercial or will that pull the pedos out of the woodwork.

Very local for NY: There's an ad for a big sale on fur coats taking place in some Staten Island facility. The ad shows various women strolling through aisles, checking out all styles of fur coats. The racial makeup of the customers is mixed. Then comes the part I hate, when the camera focuses on a big AA guy, who looks like an ex-football player, trying on fur jackets. OMG, this is so grimy. Yeah, show a black man in a pimp mink coat... don't show any white guys admiring himself in a sable jacket.

There's a creepy ad for Folgers coffee - a woman goes into her bathroom in her robe, ready to join her husband in the running shower for some hijinks. As she starts to remove the robe, the shower curtain opens to reveal her soapy naked father-in-law. Basically, her FIL is visiting and got into the bathroom before the hubby. The woman recoils in horror as a bunch of strangers pop up all around her and start to pour her a cup of bracing, hot Folgers. The woman seeing her FIL naked is a mess, then the bathroom full of strangers singing the Folgers jingle in front of naked dad and a shocked woman. Who approved this? NOTE: The ad I saw didn't end with all those people in the kitchen like the clip below - they gathered in the bathroom.

Why does USAA insurance advertise its product as if it were available to everyone? They only insure military personnel and their families but their TV commercials don't make that clear -- they used to imply it but I don't see that lately.

There' s a new anti-smoking ad running in my area that makes me grit my teeth. This one has a tween girl sitting with her mom and dad in a hospital room. Dad is wearing an oxygen mask and listens while the kid tells how much fun she had during a family outing and watching her uncle wipe out while trying to catch a ball. The girl's last sentence is... "it was so funny, you should have been there!", then we watch as the dad struggles to breathe. I get the message - if dad didn't smoke, he could have been with his wife and child. What I hate is the girls singsong voice as she tells her father about the fun he missed - it is annoying and she goes on a bit too long,

Alphonso's career is so cool, because they let him wear his dreds to work AND he gets to bring his dog. Plus, he gets along really well with his straight male co-worker. They giggle together and pet the dog.

The "shocking" thing is the shot of an older woman who opens her robe and we see a totally flat chest, no breasts/nipples. She obviously has had a mastectomy and I guess using Dove will help her to take care of that skin too.

I wonder if this ad will set off the uptight moms out there who will see the "topless" woman as sexual and say it will scar their child if they see it. They should use this to teach about the horrors of cancer, yeah.

It couldn't be more stereotypical of what "patriotism" looks like to a FOX viewer: Blonde in a short dress getting her hair "did" so she can bring them the latest news in scary brown/black/yellow people, an eagle, a white guy in a cowboy hate telling everyone "Fox Nation is from the 'good folks' over at FOX News" as footage of Mt. Rushmore, Bill Clinton with the word "Scandalous" (I presume it's a show exclusively featuring Democrat scandals...'cause they ain't pure an' god fearin' like them Reeepublicans" oh, and that cunt Lara Logan:

Vomit-inducing. BTW, they have comments turned off. I think we all know why:

It's funny I won't pay for cable tv. Not when I get 60+ channels with a simple antenna. But I've sat there for 15-20 minutes flipping through channels. And there's fuck all but commercials and advertisements. And it's the same with cable for that matter. And the cable you're paying an exorbitant amount for that.

I just get the net connection which is it's own exorbitant cost - but more useful. And I block ads on the net. Because I hate them - they're stupid, vapid, and insult my intelligence. Plus some sites are so ad laden you have to do something. If you're running Chrome one add on I can strongly recommend is ScriptSafe. That blots out a lot of the shit. AdBlock+ however some sites can detect it now. But that former ScriptSafe - that blots out the ads anyway. Completely blocks java, javascript, python, etc. scripts.

I think they're talking about aliens primarily from Latin America. By the time a lot of these aliens get to the US, many are severely constipated, having existed on a diet of tortillas, cactus, bugs, dirt,and other things not conducive to good bowel habits. Once these bunged-up aliens get hold of whatever miracle cure is being advertised, they will once again be shitting like the muddy waters of the Rio Grande.

It's probably the constant repetition that makes it worse but the ad for Greenlight, the debit card for kids.

So that would have been at a minimum a couple of years of earnings. "Uh-huh."

He goes on to explain that paper just smears poop, and other countries are ahead of us because they know that bidets are better at cleaning. It was a bit of a shock seeing a 9-10 year old kid on the toilet - especially a kid who speaks maturely, not talking in babyish toilet speak.

The rest of the ad shows the kid demonstrating how archaic wiping is on a doll, then shows his mother installing the Tushy in their home.

Charmin has upped the cringe factor in their commercials with the cartoon bears. The latest one shows the bears sitting and rubbing their butts against the chair in a very gross manner. The voice-over says something about "Is your present TP not getting you clean enough and causing you some itchiness. You will not have that problem if you use Charmin". Do not want to think about some bear scratching his nasty butthole.

Another thing - these Charmin ads always have the male bear having itchy butt or skidmarked underwear. Do the female bears not get butt problems? I suspect that they know that women mostly buy the TP and they don't want to show them looking nasty... gotta keep the buyers happy.

by Anonymousreply 422June 8, 2020 5:44 PM

I think the Charmin ads use the male bears as the problematic ones because they can just focus on the butt. If they bring females into the equation they will have to delve into the fact that women use the product to wipe TWO areas and that may take the product into a realm that could be seen as erotic... in the minds of really immature people.

There's a Gas-X commercial that features a talking limousine seat that prattles on about how it knows a thing or two about gas as people sit on it.

So gross.

Today's TV ads would make Barnum ("a sucker born every minute") and Mencken ("no one ever went broke under-estimating the taste of the American public") blush.

The ridiculous Daily Harvest ones where people get a heaping overflow cup of fruit and vegetables that you blend into a huge smoothy.

Looks like couples, young and old, now do laundry together. They scour the house and car for piles of dirty clothes and towels and bury their noses in the pile to check for stank and find it because they then pull away and show us stank face. Not shown is the couple actually doing the laundry as a couple. We don't see them standing side by side, discussing the pros and cons of the detergent they are using this time, as the laundry goes round and round in the washer and dryer.

But they then sit together and sort and fold the clean clothes and towels, making cute comments about their grown children who moved back home with their kids now that times are tough. But, the couples are happy and smiling so I guess those Tide Pods did the trick.

I just saw the ad for the upcoming season of Dancing With The Stars. This new iteration has Tyra Banks as the host and she appears in the commercial in some horrible outfit and stupid hair (a tacky braid that is so long it hits the floor), posing and eyeing the camera like she's still on the runway. Tyra needs to wake up - the model days are behind her and she needs to stop the delusion.

There’s two Spectrum commercials where they show two guys taking about internet or something.

One of the guys is sitting in the couch and the other one is manic because he drank too much coffee. He goes on and on and decides to make sandwiches for the other guy.

The other commercial shows them outside and the guy is spastic again.

Are they supposed to be a couple? I can’t really tell.

"Mom, are you OK to play?"

"Am I Ok to.....am I ok to play? Are you fucking kidding me? Not only am I OK to play, but I made costumes for us, even the fucking dog! Am I Ok to play? Listen up little princess Missy, you better learn how to read the room better instead of asking me stupid fucking questions..OK?"
