The Bottom Line 10 TV AD's I hate Write Off. Which 10 do you hate? Join in!
This is my entry into the 10 commercials that really plss you off Write-Off hosted by our wonderful Savanna, aka iluvbirds.
1. I hate any toy commercial that shows the kids just LOVING the toy, yet when I go and buy the toy and bring it home, my kids have absolutely no interest in it.
2. I hate the Verizon guy commercial, “Can you hear me now? Good!” Pleeese! Verizon, you have been using that line for, like, 10 years now. It’s time for a change, people.
3. I hate the Carl’s Jr. pastrami burger commercial. There is nothing that will make my mouth water faster than seeing that delicious burger being slapped down in front of my face, with little bits of mustard falling off of it. This is NOT a good commercial for those of us who have sworn off of fast food!
4. I hate the abundance of commercials lately that represent fathers in a bad/stupid light. I have a lot of respect for my husband as a Father, so these do tend to offend me. There is one commercial that has the father giving his two daughters new phones, and telling them that now they can all call each other. The girls look at him like he’s crazy, so then the Mother chimes in with, “and you can call your friends!” Well, the kids now hug and thank Mom, walk out of the room totally ignoring Dad.
5. I hate the old Shower to Shower powder commercials. This is because when I was a young ‘un, my mother would actually buy that powder because she liked the commercial jingle, “a sprinkle a day, helps keep order away. Have you had your sprinkle today.” I didn’t like the smell of that powder, to me it was nauseating. I was a kid, I didn’t have body odor yet. Give me baby powder any day!
6. I hate the 1970’s Fabroja Organic Shampoo commercial. This also was purchased because of the commercial saying: “You tell two friends, and they’ll tell two friends, and so on, and so on, and so on.”
7. I hate(ed) the old Dial commercial. They would take a pair of glasses and dip one lens into the suds of Dial, and dip the other lens into the suds of a competitor. Then, they would run the glasses under running water to see which lens rinsed clean and had no film. Of course, the Dial lens was clear. OK, so clean the other lens already!
8. I hate the Survival Insurance commercials. They are so poorly made. And now, it looks like they’ve made a few new ones with the same guy, but it’s been so long since they’ve made new ones and now he’s overweight. Now the guy is playing the faux part of: Who Wants To Be A Millionaire host; and Bruce Willis’ part in Sixth Sense. Bad, bad, bad.
9. I hate info-mmercials. Now I don’t know if this qualifies, but I simply hate them.
10. And lastly, I hate those commercials that when they end, you have no idea what they were trying to advertise.
