Brands you will not purchase because of the commercial?

Ok last one that I hate. The Luv's diaper commercial where the kids have a poop contest. Worst commercial ever.

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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaO8WltLmEk

I was expecting you to say Shake Weight! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

That is the. best. commercial. EVER! *goes back to watch the "Ooooh, that's it." man*

Does anyone else avoid buying a specific brand because of their commercial? Perhaps you don't like the celebrity in it, or it is just annoyingly bad?

I just saw the one that sparked this topic is Nikkon. I can not stand Ashton Kutcher. They will not get my business when I buy a new camera.

Nikkon makes great cameras and lenses though. If you want a great quality camera I would go with them, even though the commercials are bad. They compensate the crappy advertising with the amazing product.

If your photos were taken with a Nikkon, then I might reconsider. Then again, you would make my daughter's barbie camera look good.

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.

Has anyone else noticed HOW CREEPY the guy is in that jewelry commercial?!?! The first time I saw it I wasn't sure if he was going to kill her or propose to her. Maybe it is just me -- but I think it is creepy.

I completely agree!!! SCARY THINGS!!!

I don't like the Charmin ads with the weird family of bears who are always checking out each others *kitten*.

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.

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?"

LOL...We love the subs!...They got a pepper bar...

They should just be honest and call it "Antonio Banderas impersonator reads Chuck Norris jokes."

Oddly enough I'm in love with that commercial. I laugh every time I see it.

Old Navy has down right ticked me off!

The new dress commercial has a chick in a white dress with a belt dancing in front of the fountain right when the commercial starts...

I can't find the dress on their site anywhere so I went to their Facebook page and asked them where I could find the dress or if they were just advertising a dress they weren't selling.

Instead of replying they just deleted my question from their Facebook page and acted like I never posted....



That and the commercial with the tiny baby giraffes...I'm pretty sad I can't get one of those as a pet...LOL

waterjogger

HONDA and the weird chick singing "I'm a woody ninja" or something like that. My dh and I were arguing about if it was woody or wooly and what the heck that has to do with driving a Honda.

TAWoody

OLD NAVY!! Good LORD those are the most horrific commercials on the face of the planet. I wish it was another store because they have a bunch of clothes that I wear so I'm always torn.

Cassielfsw

I usually watch DVDs and downloaded-- *cough* I mean, legally acquired-- stuff so I rarely see commercials. That said...

NO I DO NOT WANT A FANTA.

I'd never buy Toyota anyway, but those toyota commercials with the snotty little blonde kid who makes other kids feel bad for having sensible parents who don't buy cars out of their means, or maybe can't afford to buy cars out of their means? I hate that kid and I hate the message that commercial sends.

THIS. I hate those commercials so much.

The other one that springs to mind is that Doritos commercial with the two guys in the office, and the one sucks the cheese off the other one's finger in a really unattractive way. Skeeves me out.

You know, my wife finally wrote them a letter saying something to the effect, |Why are there rats in your commercials? It makes me think there are rats in your restaurants. Why would anyone eat someplace that uses such a disgusting thing to represent them?|

We never heard anything back from them, but the funny thing is less than two weeks later, the commercials weren't airing anymore.

I love how the Mayhem guy is Tina Fey's/Liz Lemon's crappy boyfriend from the early seasons of 30 Rock. He is so funny!

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.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VYG57yFSIk

haha. I saw that the other night. The girls on the commercial are like 25. Not exactly a cougar.

>_<

Anything where they make me feel like I'm not a real woman because I never have 6 of my bestest friends in the whole wide world over for coffee so we can sit around and gossip.
Anything they make look way harder than it is, like...sweeping so I can buy a disposable product.
Idiot husbands doing anything.

#1 Any company that thinks it's E-Z. Arghhhhh....drives me right up a pole. Grrr...shouldn't have read this before bed.

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?

Meh ont his one, the commercials got my attention a couple times because they were different, but I've only ever used Old Spice Deodorant anyway. Won't touch antiperspirant in any form, I was "made" to sweat so I want to be able to

DQ's latest round of commercials are really annoying, heck there's tons of annoying commercials.

Can I just say "ANY commercial" especially on the stations that you have to turn UP the volume to even "hear" the show, and then when the commercials come on THEY ARE SCREAMING AT YOU! and you scramble madly to get the volume down in a nasty 15 minute cycle... what's that? my shows are on DVD almost as soon as the season is done so I don't have to deal with their stupid 4 weeks of episodes, 1 or 2 weeks skipped then more episodes? I can watch it all at once? No commercials (barring whatever previews may be "forced" to watch before the menu option is available? Hmmm

That and the commercial with the tiny baby giraffes...I'm pretty sad I can't get one of those as a pet...LOL

I totally want a tiny baby giraffe too! I love how he blows the guy a kiss!
Can't stand Kit Kat bar commercials with all the crunching.... Just thinking of it makes me cringe.

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.

It's downright scary how kids memorize that stuff. Our daughter sings to the jingles when hubby forgets to forward the DVR. And we DVR almost everything and skip through the commercials I'd have to say 96% of the time!

Oh...and Flo annoys me. She treats men like morons.

AGREED! I didn't really like Quizno's before those commercials but those sealed the deal for me.

If I was in America, and I needed a Lawyer, I certainly wouldn't be calling 1-800 ASK GARY. Those ads drove me mad when I was over there.

From the UK, the new Superdrug ads annoy me because I can't stand the girl in them from Gavin and Stacey. The Boots ads on the other hand make me laugh, so based on that Boots gets my business!

chevy88grl

I'm not sure which diaper company it was - Huggies maybe? When they came out with the jean "diapers"...

Something about "I look like number 1 when I go number 2".

Are you freaking serious?

Sheesh.
