Well the Geico Gecko does amuse though he's beginning to lose his luster, but those cavemen? They have to go. The new "Mrs. Butterworth" one they've been using is funny.
I think the Chips Ahoy! commercial with the cookie singing "Don't You Want Me, Baby?" to the blonde is amusing but very strange at the same time. Romantic cookies?
I still heart that damned AFLAC duck.
And I usually love the commercials Publix Supermarkets put out at holiday times, some of them are so cute! Particularly the Thanksgiving ones with the Pilgrim salt and pepper shakers. The store had those shakers for sale to tie in with the commercials, and we bought a set simply because we enjoy the commercials so much.
Other than that...
Hated ones:
Any time that damned infomercial man comes on screaming at me about Oxy Clean or whatever it is he happens to be hawking at the moment. Dude. Yell at me and that's a SURE way NOT to get me to buy your product. But dang it's too bad Oxy Clean really does work well... yes I did buy that one, any way. A pox on Screaming Guy!
Political ads.
Pharmaceutical ads.
And the universally hated "Head On! Apply directly to the forehead!" x10 million. ARAGGGHHHH!!

Date: 2008-05-25 09:29 pm (UTC)As for the commercials, here are my current favorites:
The worst is an infomercial for The Almighty Cleanse, (and I will not post it here) for the following reasons:
A) disgusting photos of what comes out of people's bodies after taking the product
B) televangelist guy Danny Vierra looks like he needs to be on anti-psychotics
C) phrases such as "mucoid plaque" that are repeated ad nauseum.
D) he's not a doctor; people who buy this stuff are going to distrust the medical doctors who would recognize that their excrement exhibits signs of intestinal bleeding.
(I will admit that sometimes modern medicine does not have all the answers, and that I take herbal supplements and vitamins. However, there is a big problem with the regulation of supplements, so buyer beware.)
There is a reason why this infomercial airs at 5am here.
