View Full Version : Best/Worst commercials
DrRay11 08-05-2007, 12:18 PM I just saw one of those Sonic commercials with the two guys in the drive thru. Nearly every one of those is pretty good.
On the other hand, I hate almost all of McDonalds' marketing and commercials. That is something terrible.
Mr. Oobir 08-05-2007, 08:37 PM McDonald's commercials are good for playing "Spot the Focus Group Testing." For example, take that one with the woman bringing coffee for the jazz ensemble (YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tinh6kpL-g)). Look at all the targeted demographics:
1. The actors are all young, targeting young folks;
2. They are all black, targeting black people;
3. They play jazz,
(a) going for jazz-loving old people, and
(b) making the commercial more palatable for the Mid-American racists.
4. Goes for feminists, since the woman is competent and shows her equality in playing the saxophone.
5. Goes after anti-feminists, with the woman serving the men coffee and with her still not being part of the band at the end.
6. The woman is fairly attractive, and that always helps.
I am also not a fan of McDonald's commercials, if you couldn't tell.
WTFchris 08-06-2007, 08:42 AM THe only McDonald's commercials I like were the ones with MJ vs Bird for the Big Mac back in the day.
Zekyl 08-06-2007, 12:17 PM I enjoyed the Jack In The Box commercials. Not great, but solid.
Glenn 08-06-2007, 12:21 PM The Geico Cavemen have withstood the test of time, but we need new ones.
Anybody know when the TV show is starting? This fall?
Glenn 08-06-2007, 12:27 PM This is also one of the best.

Timone 08-06-2007, 01:16 PM I fucking can't stand that Peyton Manning phone commercial, where he's wearing the fake mustache.

This is a major hot button for me. I HATE MCDONALDS COMMERCIALS! First off, their slogan is "ba da ba ba ba"......for crying out loud that's the slogan, "ba da ba ba ba". And they have been hanging on that little diddy for years now....give it a rest Ronald.
My favorite (most hated) commercial for these marketing geniuses (geni (?)) is the dollar menu party with the dollar cover charge. You may remember this one....the loser at the door collects dollars from all the hotties walkin' in and then proceeds to his "everyday McDonalds" and buys out the dollar menu. He then returns to the bumpin' party with dollar menu items for all, including the big bruiser guy that wants his parfait. They all then get crunk with their dollar menu item.....pure hotness.
WTFchris 08-06-2007, 02:07 PM My absolute least favorite commercials are the Victory Honda ones (local, but I'm sure most people here have seen them). That lady's voice on there is piercing. I have to change the channel or leave the room immediately in fear that my soul is being stolen from me.
Big Swami 08-06-2007, 02:40 PM oh god the commercials on TNT for the closer THE CLOSER
It's as if they're trying to ensure that no one who watches NBA games will ever watch that fucking show. And you know what? It worked. I've never seen a single episode, and apparently that show has been on for like 5 years.

me either. Apparently it's the #1 drama ever, or something like that it says. But nobody I know has ever seen it.
Glenn 08-06-2007, 03:00 PM My wife loves it, which makes me hate it more.
I call it "the show with the chick with the really bad fake southern accent".
"Is she closing this week? Will there be some actual closing? Is she always the one that does the closing? Can this please be the closing episode?"
Wizzle 08-06-2007, 03:28 PM My wife loves it, which makes me hate it more.
works that way for you too eh?
darkobetterthanmelo 08-06-2007, 03:48 PM I HATE those victory Honda commercials too, that one lady has to be the most annoying lady ever. She has reached Karen Newman pre-facelift status.

COFFEE'S FOR CLOSERS!
DrRay11 08-06-2007, 04:02 PM I hate most Comcast commercials as well. "Just ask Zach!"
Fuck off, Zach, and stay the hell off my TV.
WTFchris 08-06-2007, 04:06 PM What are the chances you'll encounter rain, sleet, snow or trees in Michigan?
Blah Blah. My signal has been out 4 times in 2 years, shut up bitch.
Wizzle 08-06-2007, 04:09 PM how about the high quality shit Little Ceasers has been putting out there lately. I mean, you can't beat the guy walking in to get his Hot n Ready pretending to be a gunslinger and then losing the battle with chic behind the register because he can't get his wallet out. How the hell does that make it from concept to final cut without somebody stepping in and saying "I'm sorry, this is just retarded"?

I've always wondered about that
DrRay11 08-06-2007, 04:24 PM Yeah, I don't think out Dish has ever gone due to wind. It would take a hurricane in Michigan to have that happen.
The only way it's ever gone is from heavy rain, and that only happens maybe once or twice a year. Whereas with cable, if there's a flash flood, you might be out of TV for about a week.
Yes, that bitch was annoying too. "Reliable service for Michigan's (tilt your head and nod) sometimes unreliable weather!"

Yeah, and how about those two winking and nodding at each other in a sexual manner?
Zekyl 08-06-2007, 05:17 PM My cable's been out at least 4 times in 2 years, and it was always out for at least a day. Dish just goes out for a few hours when its out.
darkobetterthanmelo 08-06-2007, 05:18 PM Ditto on the little ceasars and comcast. Fuck Zach and fuck the broad who smiles while she talks.
Timone 10-05-2012, 05:24 PM WORST:

Also, the Joe Pesci Snickers commercial. Also overplayed.
Tahoe 10-05-2012, 08:13 PM ^ Seriously bad.
