Bad commercials

QWETTY · Post by **QWETTY** » Tue Aug 15, 2006 1:44 pm

i get mad watching TV. People who get payed a lot of money to make commercials, do terrible jobs. The only "good" ones really are beer and ESPN commercials, with another good one here and there. Honestly whats teh deal.

o and the worst of all has got to be the ones (i forget what its for because im distracted by the badness) where the lady with the nanoying looking mouth is going around saying "no charge" or spelled correctly.. "no chyarge" I think its for sprint or some otehr phone company... Also bad... Scotts commercials over teh last couple years... all i gotta say is "gobble gobble"

If I see the McDonalds McRib ad where the makeshift shelf of boards and cinder blocks collapses ONE MORE TIME, I swear I'll. . .

I hate the new public service announcement ads with the little kids drowning and stuff. I suppose they should be effective, but I can't watch them. I've seen too many parents do too many stupid ass things, and they're not the ones who will pay attention to those PSAs.

terrible commercials... in an eerie way. Also the ones where it shows teh kid with his hand in his mouth, or the girl who is smashed form 'peer pressure' because of drugs or w/e. bad.

I hate the "White Lies" commercials, but I do like the Phillip Morris PSAs that "teach" parents how to talk to their kids about smoking... Does seem kind of hypocritical, and I keep wondering if there's some sort of subliminal pro-smoking message hidden in there somewhere...

I agree with you! I think the White Lies commercials are dumb. And I'm not a smoker! I also like the ones that teach. There should be more of those! I think by law Phillip Morris has to do so many PSAs a year.

Yep they do. TIMHO that's why those ADs suck because Phillip Morris doesn't care how the final product ends up.

I just read a study debating just how effective (or ineffective) those ADs are on stopping young smokers, so far the data says they don't.

Those crack me up! Working at an insurance company, in the claims department, let me tell you how those meetings really go...

"Claimant got an attorney..."

"So what. They still don't have a valid claim"

"It's a t.v. attorney."

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" ...... Let's see how many hours we can get them to put it on this one and still not make a dime!"
