From a marketing perspective ... annoying or not you noticed those commercials and remembered them in a sea of millions of commercials. The call to action may not be to run out and but their product but it does make them top of mind.

i have been working on a few commercials for my company and they are considered annoying by some and funny by most. The call to action is to be remembered.
Well I have no sweet clue who made that beard-growing commerical - certainly didn't work on me.

The 'Pay for VU' ads where those two JERKS come screaming out of nowhere.
The friggen volume is 4,000,000 decibels higher than the previous programming. That's exponential. Where is the CRTC regulating these bastards?

I have to STFukkersU with the mute. Then I miss the next 10 minutes of the news. This drives me to drink excessively and then when I'm out I have to speed to the liquor store, taking a short cut through 2 elementary schools and 1 playground.

Some one should sue them for hearing loss due to noise damage.

If Sony or some TV manufacturer includes a built in mute that is activated by clapping your hands I will buy 2 of them. They can turn on lamps doing it so why grope for the remote?

It should be programmable delay wise. Similar to your car windshield wipers on intermittent.

Then when those two screaming banshees or that damn Billy Mays here for rubbish erupts a simple slap will shut them up for a timed delay.

:evil:

That reverse mortgage commercial that plays on the noon news. The phrase "Woudn't it be nice" repeated ad nauseum... :evil:


Hear! Hear! That jingle is maddening! :evil:

----------------------------------------------------------

Those "Brand Power" ads are annoying, although the girl is cute.

There are two in particular that make me want me to ram a fist through the set to stop the madness.

The singing hamburger in the Wendy's ad.

and worse yet....

The Dweb in the Future Shop ad who warbles the song he had written for his girlfriend.

To quote the late great comedian Sam Kinison.

AAAAhhhh AAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhh AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! XD

I don't know if its the commercials per se, but what gets me the most is that most programs though they're slotted for 30 minutes or an hour in actual reality are only like 20-40 minutes long because more than half of its air time is consumed by commercials! I don't remember there being as many commercials as a kid, but it seems to be getting progressively worse as the decades drag by. Maybe it's just me.

I, for one, can't stand the Best Buy commercials where people describe gifts by the reactions. They're retarded. Especially the one where the fat sales guy is gushing like a woman over flat-screen TVs. Yea. Right. Like a woman is going to say "How did you know" over a flat screen TV.

I went into Best Buy the other day. After waiting what seemed like three hours I asked the sales guy....

"I am looking for an, OH MY GOD......I CAN AFFORD THAT!!!! " He looked at me like I had two heads, then said "sorry, we don't sell those".

ROTFL


That's funny as hell, but I was also talking about those annoying soap/shampoo/baby powder/whatever else commercials that for some reason or another sneak in a shot of a bum somewhere. :P

Case in point, Old Navy commercials... :P

No it's not just you....

I find it a little weird watching a rented DVD.....you have to put it on pause to make a sandwich.

When I was a kid the commercials were so brief you had to rush....now you have lotsa time.

This commercial is not annoying, but, it sure is pretty funny. In fact, you could say that it's priceless !!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
