The grossest commercial ever

    Not the fact that A/B markets itself to fools.........their commercials don't sell their beer, their commercials get people to talk about their commercials.

    Same with Nike........their commercials don't make you say, "hey, I need a new pair of shoes.", their commercials get you to talk about the commercials themselves.

    man I loved those commercials. it boggles my mind how people would not eat somewhere because they didn't like their commercials, but I've heard or read that about those quizno's commercials plenty of times. I don't get it. the fucking hamster's not making your sammich.

    Yeah, I see what you're saying, but I've yet to see a Bud Light spot that made me laugh. Not one on TV, anyway. Some of the radio ones I've laughed at, I'll admit, the ones from the Real American Heroes campaign that morphed for obvious reasons into Real Men of Genius after 9/11. But I've yet to find a TV one remotely amusing.
     
  4. Those were sponge monkeys and they were a big fave in my household.

    We like the sponge monkeys but not as much as cheese or dirigibles.

    Thanks for starting this one, BYH. I wanted to but didn't want people to accuse me of being politically incorrect. (It probably doesn't matter to you if they feel that way) :)

    Hey, I hope this ad campaign is effective but I don't want to see (or hear) the guy talk about it. So when this one comes on, my remote goes to work and gets rid of it. Same with the Geico caveman who orders the roast duck with the mango salsa. (Is there any hidden meaning behind that bit of stupidity?)

    The sportscenter commercial where Berman and Stu Scott are having an affair. God I hate that one. That shit is gross.

    Sonic, in my mind, is defined by the onion rings. Yum.

    Mutah, go ahead. Blow smoke at me. But don't be upset when the resulting lugey ends up on your food.

    I simply cannot stand sodas with added flavors, like cherry, chocolate, etc. I rarely drink soda anyway, so when I'm in the mood for a root beer or a Dr Pepper, that's all I want to taste.

    casty, I used to like that spot before the 800th time I saw it. Actually, the first one in that dopey-ass series was my favorite, where the caveman was operating the boom mike or something and when the guy makes the comment about 'so simple a caveman could do it,' he yells, 'not funny, man' and storms off the set.

    Oh, and I forgot to weigh in on that thread, but I'm sick of LOL, too. Just wanted you to know.

    I was struck by two others:

    Both at autopsies.

    One shows the cross-sectioning of a brain along that seam that separates the hemispheres. The brain looks normal until the cut allows for the sides to be pulled apart. From the core of the brain a pile of blood releases... stroke or other cerebral hemorrhage.

    The other shows the coroner with the what looks like the aorta and the pulmonary vein. He squeezes them, and as if he was compressing a manicotti to push out the ricotta filling, and plaque comes piling out.

    MUCH worse than the somewhat cliche voicebox guy, to me at least.

    suburbanite, thanks for the comment on the geico dudes. And I'm glad you agree about lol. I just think it is so overused that it loses its meaning.
