Title: Commercials are terrible

Amazon Prime - Nursery commercial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CwvU6ylGgk)

Apparently therapists have just been jerking us around for laughs all these years, because it turns out that kids with crippling social disorders just need a superman costume to fix all their problems. Thanks Amazon Prime!

Liberty Mutual Insurance - Full Car Replacement (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5twwX-zoOv4)

So you think that insurance bills are far more painful than anything you could experience during a car crash? Really?
Oh, and that thing about driving three quarters of a car, that was not smart. That was the exact opposite of smart. My brain cringes every time I hear that. Please fire and/or murder whoever wrote that little witticism.

Ha ha, they probably based this on the study or studies which, iirc, found that wearing certain clothes could make people adopt the traits associated with those clothes, subconsciously. Iirc.

Aside: I did not click the link because willingly expose myself to commercials? Madness!

Not an exact commercial but rather how the Youtube app has been shoving them down my throat recently. I got in the shower this morning and had some music playing on my phone, after the first one YT decided it was time for a commercial break, of a single commercial, which lasted for the remaining five minutes of my shower (and then some but I skipped it at that point).

So yeah, fuck commercials and everything they represent, they are the grimy underbelly of modern capitalism and honestly, them going away would possibly be the best thing about a collapse of society as we know it.

Yeah, my instant reaction upon watching most commercials is "What fake association are they trying to convince me of now."

That said....I think game commercials are actually ok. Sure they're there to HYPE you that their game is the greatest thing since sliced cheese....but at least that's advertising the way it used to be. Most games don't try to convince me I'll better my social life by playing games, be more successful, get the ladiez or anything else. They're just selling the idea of fun and entertainment (which given the game might also be a lie....) if you buy the product, not like it's the answer to your life problems.

I don't know anyone in the ad business but I'd love to know how corrosive it is to the soul day in day out to try and sell people ideas about themselves and their lives via a product.

I went out of my way to send hate mail to Kellogg's every time that fucking Krave "DEEDLE-DEET-DEEDLE-DEET-DEEDLE-DEET" commercial played.

"Hey, it's me again, you fucking pieces of shit. When will you understand the depth of my hatred and disgust for you? It is like a rose, if a rose were made of burning manure dipped in curdled vomit. It is like a finger pointing at the moon, except the finger is the middle one, and the moon is your face. With sincere hatred, the anti-fan. P.S. Fuck you all."

I doubt they got the point, but the FCC wouldn't do anything though the commercial violated the rules about not having jacked up volume and whatnot.

Oh, and speaking of volume, not sure if the fuckers do it in your parts, but around here, aside from having over a quarter of every hour dedicated to commercials, channels like to crank up their volume compared to normal content. So you'll be merrily watching a show or whatever and then there's a break and SUDDENLY YOUR FUCKING HOUSE IS FALLING APART BECAUSE THE VOLUME IS FULL FUCKING BLAST. I don't know who thought of the idea and who approved it, but I can't see it as anything but counter-productive, you don't get people on someones good side by startling and deafening them at the same time.

I remember there used to be a YouTube ad that was so short it couldn't be skipped, but had a fake skip button in the video. So you'd click it, and clicking on the ad would take you to their website. I don't remember what the ad was for but it pissed me off so much that I vowed never to buy it.

Advertisements, and the people who create them, are pure evil.

The one that took the cake was the Ribena advert which stated "the blackcurrants in Ribena have four times the vitamin C of oranges". Good stuff to know.

Except the problem was that the Ribena didn't actually contain real blackcurrants, and kids at a highschool did a test for ascorbic acid, using Ribena on the assumption it would be easier to detect. In fact they found out that Ribena contained almost zero vitamin C, while the company pointed out that the claim was about the cordial, that was then tested and found to have no more vitamin C than orange juice.

Bad commercials? I know all about those.

Take this dogshit for example. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAJ4MlXtF6A) It tries way too hard to be 'with the times' and 'hip' by using dead memes ad nauseum.
I swear I get the nearly uncontrollable urge to shout and stick my head through the wall every time one of their other infernal creations plays before a video.
And so to itisnotlogical I respond that if creators of other advertisements are evil, truthOrange writers are Demon Lords.

Flashlight ads!

For some reason, some people think it's a good idea to shine the flashlight into the camera and make it flash rapidly. It doesn't cause a problem for me, but I do find it incredibly annoying.

Also, those Progressive (insurance) ads have been progressively (pun intended) getting stranger and stranger (aside from the narcississic box one). The most recent one is some sort of prank thing, if you had never heard of Progressive insurance before, you probably wouldn't know what the heck it was for, or about.

They should give the box ad of theirs some Trump hair sometime, lol.

Apparently therapists have just been jerking us around for laughs all these years, because it turns out that kids with crippling social disorders just need a superman costume to fix all their problems. Thanks Amazon Prime!

There's a MUCH shorter version of that on TV, it skips the entire first 23 seconds or so, jumps to 0:26 to 0:31ish, then has the two chairs, except that the white chair is empty, jumps to the guy that is apparently the kids dad (not at all clear in the TV ad) and then shows the rest of it.

Cutting out the context makes it look wierd, like, is that guy watching all day? and who is that guy?

Smoking Pay Gap (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_182kIOPRvo)

Apparently smokers earn less money than non-smokers. Putting aside how suspect this sounds without any context, it's still a much stronger message in favor of fair-wage laws rather than against smoking.

I don't smoke, and don't approve of smoking in general, but gods do I hate 'truth' commercials. I almost want to start smoking just to protest how very very bad these commercials are.

"A car should only be judged by one thing: how it makes you feel."

No, art should only be judged by how it makes you feel. Cars should be judged by safety, reliability, affordability, environmental impact, etc. How it makes you feel is one of the least important things to consider when judging a car.

I do know that ever since they added the pics about a year and a half ago, the pics have become a trade commodity on primary schools.
"can I trade lung cancer corpse for throat cancer operation?" is a thing you hear 8 year olds say on the school's playground. Acquiring cigarettes has never been as popular with children, as it is since the government added horror pictures on the packaging.

It's weird, for 1976 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU5u3bA2mYw) - 1978  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2jLM2dWf2A)there are all these different Lipton's Cup A Soup ads, all with differently badly conceived songs, then the 1980 one just stuck for infinity and went global.

I once saw REALLY sexualized advertisement on TV. I don't remember it very well and I only saw like last 15 seconds of this horrible ad. There was a woman in a bikini which was eating ice cream with watermelon flavour, and while she was eating, her breasts became so big (Yay! Watermelons "joke"), that Ivy Valentine from Soulcalibur will be jealous. It was back in 2013, when I was 13 years old, and I was really scared of the ad. And that ad (and biased news) is the reason why I don't watch TV anymore.

It falls into the same vein as click bait for me. Who's dead? Find out in three weeks! For those of you that watch designated survivor, they did something similar for their finale. It just really annoys me.

Umm...okay. That's a pretty bottle, I guess. What the f*** are you trying to sell me here?
I want to nominate this for a 'Least Informative Commercial Ever' award.

Some are indeed terrible, but it does the soul good to share a masterpiece like this one.

Wow, farmer chicks be bitches.
How are there enough picky/horny farmers out there to make these commercials profitable?

All of the farmers-only commercials are solid gold.

So, the only incentive to use your tax app is that it's extremely dangerous to use on top of a wall?

Movado Watches

The only way I can possibly see to interpret these commercials, is that they make big ugly watches that don't actually tell time, and the only incentive for us to buy these monstrosities is that they will give us the power to defy gravity and float around if we wear them in our sleep?

For when you want to look like you are wearing a watch, but you don't want to be able to actually tell the time all that accurately.

Who needs to tell time accurately when your watch is based on alien tech and probably has a time travel function hidden somewhere?
