To hell with the bell! :mad:
I don't know about on TV. (who has time for that anyway.) But I know there was a banner ad in my freelotto sites. (I like to play my free online lotteries)
Anyway, this ad had a monkey that would race back and forth on the banner. Then, when you moused over, your pointer turned into a gun. The point was that you were supposed to "Shock the Monkey" to get a prize.
That ad, for some reason, bogged the hell out of my computer. I don't know what it was, my machine is fairly rockin....it just slowed to a crawl. Even my mouse acted screwey. I think they've fixed it, the same ad doesn't bog me down as much now....but for a while, there was more I would have done to that monkey besides shock it if I caught up with it!
Dont forget....
1-800-CALL-ATT & all the 10-10-123 #'s
They are worse than the stupid taco bell ones.
There is NO way she eats all that food that is on the list. Unless maybe she pukes it back up. She would weigh 500 pounds, plus having to pee every five seconds!Quote:

The Pepsi commercial I hate. Had Coke last night. BTW anyone seen the copies of B Spears contract at The Smoking Gun? Read what is contractually required in the dressing room as a beverage. HAHAHAHAHA
Who's using Destiny's Child in the same way. I'd rather put up with Britney. Then again I hear Royal Crown Cola is still in business...and so's a&w.Quote:

I totally agree that, not only does this commercial suck but it makes me want to AVOID Pepsi products at all costs and run screaming into the safe, loving arms of Coke.
What is it with these "Best ad" shows on TV? You watch ad's and then you start moaning when the ad's come on, then you laugh when the ad's come back on?
P.S. This isn't meant to make sense.
I hate just about ANY long distance/collect calling/dial 10-10-34134-659872-131576 commercial. It's bad enough they call 24/7 trying to get you to buy their service. But jamming my TV with unfunny commercial is just plain wrong.
I hate the commercials for Dodge, Ford and Chevy that all claim the are the best selling truck. You have to try and read the fine print that explains how they all can be like that.
Ford #1 seller among rednecks in Montana, and South Carolina.
Chevy #1 seller among city dwelling wannabe's
Dodge #1 seller among local mental patients
Oh, lets not forget the pay only if you win monotone talking injury lawyers.
The most annoying advertising I've seen lately hasn't been on the TV, it's been in the subway station. There is this new fad called "station domination" where one type of advertising is exclusively found in that station. The regular ad spaces, in addition to floors, walls, garbage cans, on the steps of the stairs, columns, anywhere are covered in the advertising of one company. I think they may as well do like the big arena's do and give the station a corporate name for a fee. "Next stop, Pizza Pizza station."
Ads in Britain tend to be tame and lame, but just occasionally they get really annoying because of the frequency of the advert. My current pet hate is for Lombard Tricity Finance.... and that stooopid animated telephone grrrrrrrrrrr
My pet hate UK advert is anything that is so obviously European, but has been really poorly dubbed like some cheap martial arts flick. There's far too many to mention!!
I also hate that bloody gas advert with all the floaty things in the sky. WTF is all that about?!?
There's a radio one hear which is set to the song who let the Dogs out. It's for a car place and It just drives me nut's.
Maybe I'm a poor American consumer. But what is with all the collect call commercials?
Everyone and their mother has a cell phone and/or a calling card. Who the hell calls collect anyway? I can only think of the "emergency" scenario where a car breaks down, you accidentally flushed your cell phone down the toilet, and you have no spare change. In that scenario, I really don't give a rat's *** about saving someone a couple cents on the call.
I like Coca-Cola as a product, but their new commecial where there are like 5 kids running for a train irritates me and I'm know one of the girls in the ad. I can't stand it.
YES!!!!!! That darn Hoo-hoo-hooper thing!! I want to strangle someone every time I hear it on. There's no way that song is going to encourage me to buy cars from them. Thankfully I think that commercial is gone now, I haven't heard it lately.Quote:
