Brands you will not purchase because of the commercial?

I hate the jewelry commercial where the couple is looking out a window, there's a loud clap of thunder and the woman jumps into the man's arms all dramatic-like. Then he says " It's okay, I'm here... I'll ALWAYS be here". Then, he pulls out of a diamon ring. SO. DAMN. CHEESY. I cannot stand that one!!!!!
That being said, I like some commercials that others hate. I like the Geico cavemen... I always laugh at them. And the axe commercial about cleaning your balls.... too funny.0 -
The Dairy Queen commercials...that guy is an idiot...the lips weren't much better...But I have to say I love the Molson Canadian Commercial for the red leaf campaign. The song in the background is weighty ghost by wintersleep, and it's an awesome idea to plant 1000 trees!
And did you know since the Old Spice commercial with the ripped guy on a white horse telling you to smell your man came out, the stocks and sales have sky rocketed...that's the best marketing campaign that Old Spice has EVER had...makes you wonder eh?0 -
I hate the Arbys commercial too!!!!!!!!! It's horrific!!!!0

Local car sales commercials!!! :mad: I can't stand the constant screaming voice of the obnoxious local salesmen who is almost always dishonest in everything they are saying in the advertisment. I can't even handle it on the radio. I'll RUN into any room with a radio or TV making that awful sound to shut it down immediately. Give me the soothing sound of nails on a chalkboard instead...0

Sonic for instance has a commercial right now advertising a oreo ice cream shake thing and a big glob of ice cream makes out with a big pile of oreos. It is absolutely creepy and disgusting and i dont think i can have oreo ice cream anymore.
Yes! That is so awkward!
And I hate, hate, hate the snobby blond kid car commercials too!!!
And, one of my least favorite ever, the car commercials (hyundai?) with the hamsters driving toasters...what the what?!?! That doesn't even remotely make sense. And the song (which is a hip hop classic about not making bad choices in life, ie don't do drugs and drop out of school) is remixed to sound incredibly annoying!!
If that commercial comes on and my son catches even a second of it he sings that song ALL DAY. "You could get with this, or you could get with that..." Lord it's awful.0 -
Must agree with the Old Navy suggestion as well as "Flo" from Progressive. I gotta say though, one of my all time favorite commercials is the Geico Drill Sergeant. Every once in a while I watch it again on U-Tube.
I love, love, LOVE the Geico Drill Sgt commerical....lol0 -
This thread just reminded me that I love not having a TV!0
-
yes to a lot of these!!
Also Dominos pizza. I cant eat it now anyways but even if I could I wouldnt. Telling you about how real life customers complained and how bad their pizza used to be. Um.... yeah. pass!0 -
I saw an AXE commercial - "cool" something... when the guy walked in the room, the camera focused in on the girl's nipples growing hard. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with hard nipples, but I thought that was pushing it more than a little too far for a commercial.0

Remember when Quizno's had those annoying scary looking singing hamster things????
I mean Quizno's wasn't ever really that good to begin with but after those it's not even an option.
OMG! Amen! That was what I was going to say too! I actually sent the Company an e-mail asking why on EARTH any food franchise would use something that looks like road kill to advertise their food? Who does their marketing? I mean REALLY!! I've never eaten there and now I can't even bring myself to cross the doorway ... I always think "What exactly would be in that sandwich anyway ..."
Oh, they sent me coupons in response to my 'inquiry'. They went straight into the trash!0 -

Any commercial where they COPY/STEAL a marketing idea from another company or advertising firm!
- ...where 3 people repeat the same phrase - repeat the same phrase - repeat the same phrase - to make a point.
- Dairy Queen - stop copying Old Spice! How cheap are you??????
It's practically plagiarism!
To advertising firms out there: If you aren't creative enough to come up with your own ideas, bow out and go work at a mall !!!!!!!0 -
I dont judge products by thier commercials. Unless someone of the ilk of Saddam Huesein is puching the product I really dont care.0
-
A lot of great examples. Thanks for sharing.0

I hate that kid almost as much as the one from 2 1/2 men - which I refuse to watch due to that kid!

That kid from 2 1/2 men will be in therapy for years. And where are the kid's parents--they're the ones who made the stupid decision to allow him to be in the show? I hate that show!0 -

LOVE the Geico Drill Sergeant. The best I've seen in a long time. Still not going to purchase fr Geico.0 -

If you hate the show now, wait until Ashton Kutcher makes it worse.0 -
Last post, I promise. I can't remember the company name, but the talk of seniors buying health insurance makes me gag. They make it sound as simple as vacuuming the carpet or drying the silverware. Sorry, but bad, bad acting.0

There is a new ad with a kid lecturing us about geothermal heat. Bosch, I think. He's so obnoxious that I really can't even listen to the ad.0

Not that I won't purchase something based off a commercial, but I find these particularly meh:
E*Trade. I might be in the minority here but I do not find talking babies "cute" in any way... at all.
Corona. Hey, you too can have cool parties with the cool kids if you drink our sh itty beer.
Geico. The Caveman thing? Think I missed the boat on this one. These played non-stop during hockey. Ugh.
On the other hand, Old Spice? Old Spice deodorant commercials rock my socks.
And another old but good one, the Bridgestone "Reply All" email. When the guy rips out the cables in the server room and comes flying down out of the tree? I laugh my *kitten* off every time.

Lol!
I have to throw Aflac in there. I can't stand that stupid duck.
There is a commercial in my area for a website called Cougarlife. HATE, HATE, HATE.
"I'm a cougar. She's a cougar. We're all cougars. Men love cougars. Don't you want to date a cougar too?" Over and over and over again.

Ohhhh, I hate the Hungry Howie's ads. Those two nerdy guys & the one has sweaty pits. Gross. I made this comment on my FB page to find that my cousin films those! lol
I also don't like a product that slams another product.
Or the erectile disfunction commercials. Or the ones where they are like life-like cartoon people??? Ok, so this is why I watch very little TV & listen to XM with NO commercials!0 -
T-Mobile commercials. I will never become a customer but Ill tell you what that girl sure would interest me.....just not in a phone0

How did I forget this one?
The Your Baby Can Read commercial. Yuppy, pretentious, annoying, pushy P.O.S. parents. Oy vey.0 -
When I say Hillshire you say Farm. Hillshire. Farm. Go meat!
ughhhh0 -
I don't pay any attention to TV Commercials. What I base my picks on is the font in printed advertisements. If is has Arial Narrow or Century Schoolmark, I'm not buying it.0

HAHA! Made me laugh because when I saw those I thought, "What genius in marketing decided a rodent is an appetizing spokesperson for fast food?"
Chuck-E-Cheese uses a rodent as well!0 -

Agree with you on all three of these!! Especially the babies. Babies=cute. Babies who sound like 34 year old frat boys = not cute at all. And really unsettling.0 -

That one right there! Yes! Let babies be babies for crying out loud! My kidis are grown up and my grandkids aren't babies anymore but I would never buy that as a gift for anyone.0
