Least Favorite National TV Ads

Re: Least Favorite National TV Ads

I agree about Billy Mays. The mute button was invented for him. The absolute surest, quickest way to alienate me is to yell. Whenever he comes on its time to check other channels, it would be nice if stations figured out that letting ******** like him alienate viewers cost them ratings points.

Re: Least Favorite National TV Ads

If it does have that feature, I haven't found it yet. I remember a thread here about sleeping with the television on (I'm too lazy to try to find it). I wanted to participate in that thread, but I didn't. I think it was because I was just a lurker then and not a member, but I'm not sure.

I think most TVs of the past decade or so have sleep buttons. If you don't see an actual button marked "sleep" or "timer" on your remote then check the on-screen menu. Also, if you have an Oceanic digital cable box, it has a "sleep" feature. Press the "Settings" button>set sleep timer>right arrow to set # of minutes. Be sure to "select" your choice.

Life is incomplete without the "sleep" feature!

By chance, does your tv remote have a sleep button?! I love that feature...can't be without it!

I agree about Billy Mays. I like to go to sleep with the television on, sound turned down soft, but when he comes on with his shouting infomercials, I wake up and have to turn the sound down even softer, or turn it off entirely.

I don't think I've ever awakened to Billy Mays. Scary thought! By chance, does your tv remote have a sleep button?! I love that feature...can't be without it!

I don't hate this commercial. But, that commercial that spoofs the movie Poltergeist is really creepy. I saw on E True Hollywood Story that this movie is cursed. That little girl died young and the teen actress was murdered.

Re: Least Favorite National TV Ads

saw a taco bell commercial that i felt was offensive and racist.... produced by taco bell hawaii.... they show 3 obviously local guys acting like goofy mexican mariachi clowns....very stereotypical and very much a put down to mexicans..... someone had there head where there is no light to produce an offensive ad such as this. as long as this ad is running i will NOT be going to taco bell. Totally Racist.

Re: Least Favorite National TV Ads

I am kind of frowning on the GE commerical that has a fishing trawler that nets in bottle shaped ice with the announcer saying how much sea water gets turned in fresh water.

Show what the plant looks like, not give the impression that all you have to do is to fish it from the sea.

Re: Least Favorite National TV Ads

I don't know if anyone saw this commerical, I think it was for Starburst.

It was the one for the Berries and Cream with that creepy guy that sings that, "Berries and Cream, Berries and Cream, I am a little lad that likes Berriesssssssssss and Crrrrrrream."

Felt like I was watching a sequel trailer of Omen High School Musical.

================================
About those Burger Kind commericals, what was stranger than the commerical was the Xbox game Sneak King. If you clicked the left stick it would show two eye holes staring at people and heavy breathing. Almost like Jason from Halloween.

Re: Least Favorite National TV Ads

Sure, the first couple of times was funny, after that, it just gets more stupid. They just keep on running it to the ground. GAWD!!.[...]

Serentity..."they" keep on airing it "to the ground" because it's selling the product and they will keep airing those spots 'til there's clear indication that they need to update them or change the campaign entirely.

And, yes, I preferred the gecko spots, too!

Re: Commercials you love to hate....

I felt sympathy for the cavemen like I felt for the Trix rabbit.

Now stop picking on our ancestors!

I'm with you on that.
