Ads that need to die

[Scooter Montgomery]

Anything that is advertised but not avaliable where you live example: Sonic in New England.

Any ad for a car that claims an impressive 25+ mpg- My 1984 Jetta got 32 mpg, with 200k miles on it.

Yea  I hate Sonic ad's WTF do they want me to drive to the west coast for a cheese burger?  Why pay for ads in WI?

sonic sucks.. the drinks are OK, but the food is just crap and anyone can make a cherry lime ade.

If I hear "I'm loving it" one more time I'm going to kick a kitten.

I live in Cincinnati and we have a at least one Sonic and I am more east as you.  Of course they must still not be around you making the advertisement worthless still.  On the otherside, I actually think those are pretty funny.

The SoBe lizards are lame as well.  The radio spot that has Thriller needlessly playing in the background while the lizard is on the phone with his dad infuriates me.  MJ must be pretty broke to be lending out his songs for such stupid commercials.  And don't get me started on Naomi Campbell's lazy kick during the thriller dance.

Sweet, merciful Jeebus, why has Free Credit report Dot Com (Comma Baby) not been mentioned?

First viewing:  Catchy!  I guess jingles are coming back.
Second viewing: Heh, cute. I wonder when this is going to get old.
....
1*10^84th viewing:  Now.  Now is when it is old.  Old.  Old.

King of all "Should never have been aired" ads:

I'll just go out on a limb here and say every ad that isn't for Victoria's Secret should be canned.

All of the "I have herpes" "and I don't" "and we want to keep it that way" commercials.

The commercial for some car insurance company that has a 20-something girl in it saying, "Yeah, I've had a couple of tickets, and some accidents, but I NEED my car."  Yeah, apparently so you can hit more people?

I can very safely say that there are no Sonics within 2300 miles of my house, yet I see several ads a day.  Partially my fault for turning the damn TV on in the first place, I suppose.

Not sure that I follow, but the talking baby in the E*Trade commercials is hilarious.

"I'm Jim Cook, my family, my granddaddy, blah blah blah......"

The radio ads have annoyed me for so long that Sam Adams is the last beer I'll pick up.  God damn is Jim one annoying MFer.

Great thread.  Glad to get that off my chest 

[Popeye the Sailor]

Jewelry ads.


"How else can you make two months Salary last a lifetime..."

Blah-de-make the beast with two backsing-dah. I could go buy an 848 with the same coin-that's how.

[herm]

every single radio advertisement in this sh!thole that i live in.
singing about tile, car windows, etc...........

[x136]

Easy. All of them.

Ads on TV, ads in movies, ads on the radio, ads in newspapers, magazines, and other print media, billboards, ads plastered on walls, ads on people, cars, trucks, and buses, ads on the internet, subliminal and superliminal advertising, and ads pulled by biplanes. It's all obnoxious, and a drain on society in general.
