There are two commercials I see again and again that I fucking hate:
A1 steaksauce. You know the one. The guy is putting it on his burger and the snobby type says that's a good idea and asks to borrow it. The first guy thinks he's talking about the sauce but as he's reaching for it, the other guy takes his burger. The part I hate is the guy just sits there all "not making a scene" instead of using that bottle to anally violate the prick.

Minute Maid Boost shit. You see some vampire chick telling this guy she thinks he's the father of one of her kids. Not students; kids. So before minute maid, he's thinking of Cancun, Spring Break 99. With minute maid, he realizes she's the art teacher and holds up his sad little bracelet. Moral of the story: Minute Maid turns you into a limp-wristed little douche.

I had to look up the minute maid one. Hahaha that's funny.

edit: fixed your incorrect youtube video. -van

Why do you watch commercials? semi serious question...

I don't have a DVR and I detest channel flipping. I don't watch TV often, but when I do I have to suffer these god forsaken commercials.

Do what I do -- mute during commercial breaks.

I like the Minute Maid one because not only is she his kid's teacher, she's "SISTER Mary Catherine." I like the horror she originally feels at the thought of banging some dude during Spring Break.

This one disturbs the hell out of me, and they show it all the time:

I hate that Quiznos one too.

And the one with the Robot sitting at the table that keeps repeating " I want... blah blah blah..."

Any and ALL of the Sonic drive in commercials with the jack offs sitting in the cars.

I wish someone would put them all in a bus, weld it shut, and set that fucker on fire.

They need to bring these commercials back, baby:



And don't forget the original pimp (outside of Clark Gable):

I really like the Prius commercials with the weird people-as-geography.

I have two methods of skipping commercials. 1) DVR (how can you not have a DVR?); and 2) Laptop computer. I haven't seen any of the commercials you are talking about.

We need more commercials like this:

My favorite noncommercial:

This is my favorite

Why is the guy in the minute maid commercial walking around with a half gallon of fruit juice and is so parched he needs to drink it on the escalator?

What's crazy is that you can't just change to another channel for the duration of the commercial because odds are THAT channel is in commercial too. On a whim I flipped through the 100 or whatever channels I get and counted which of them were showing the actual program and which were at a commercial break. I didn't write the figure down or anything but well over half of them were in a commercial. I pay 80 bucks for what?

most TV networks have commercial breaks around the same time. Usually, for hour long shows, the break at around 40 min is a double length commercial

We are thinking about canceling our cable. Mostly cause of lack of content and hassle to watch something. It is so much easier to erm... "borrow the DVD from a friend".

Our HD is lacking too, and they just came out with some new HD channels (for our market) which aren't anything special, but once again, I have to pay more money for.

yeah i hate being advertised to in lieu of paying ala carte for a product i consume

Being advertised to is one thing... When 20+ minutes out of 1 hour of a show is commercials on a channel that I already pay for is another.

I absolutely hate those Disaronno commercials.

That's pretty standard, 30 minute shows are 22 minutes, 1 hour shows are 40-44 minutes.

I'd cancel my cable in a heartbeat as I rarely really sit down and watch tv other than the animation on sundays on fox. The problem is the cable company wants to bend you over if you don't hook into one of their cute little packages. I think they wanted to charge me like 60 something a month for internet alone.

I'm afraid they are gonna do that to me too. I still haven't canceled it. But, I know they are charging me 10 bucks for DVR and another 10 For HD box.. I know I will at least be saving 20 bucks.

I love that Quiznos one. I had never seen it before, and I'm rather surprised that made it on the air :p

It's mildly amusing the first time you see it, but they run the goddamn thing 5 times an hour.

I hate hate HATE this one!



A bunch of 8 year olds talking existentially. These kids are obviously reading scripts written by someone 40 years older than them.

It just makes me angry.

hahaha I HATE that commercial so much too, they air it all the time here 'cause we're like 2 hours from Sea World.

ugh now THAT commercial bugs me.

That Sea World commercial epitomizes one of the aspects of marketing I really despise.

hate!

Never heard of Krystal, whereabouts are they found?

Krystal's are a vile abomination. Think of them as a hick cousin to White Castle.

They're all over the South. And Wakka is right, they're awful.

_________________

Them's fightin' words, sir. There is no better foodstuff on earth to combat a late night of drinking.

I will stand by my assertion that Krystal's are disgusting. White Castles, IHOP, and Waffle House are great way to end a long night of drinking. 4 Double Jalapeno Cheeseburgers, Chicken Rings from White Castle. And then a double order of hashbrowns scattered, covered, smothered, peppered, chunked, topped, and spiced from Waffle House is truly ambrosia.

White House is also very disgusting, so if Krystal is worse.... <shudder>

When were you at the White House, Fribs?

oops!

I guess so. Offering 2 anus burgers for 5 bucks.

Never been to White Castle (or the White House ) but IHOP, Waffle House as well as Huddle House have served well as post-drinking food places.
Since none of those are convenient where I am I would go for a dish called the country mix at the local 24 hour diner.

Waffle House is crap. Huddle House is only slightly better. Best late-night food is almost certainly Denny's.

Oh hell no. Steak and Shake.

White Castle is the perfect late night food. Nothing better to clean out your system after a long night drinking!

Commercials I hate:

1) Any commercial where a baby is (usually CGI'ed) doing "grown-up" things.

2) Any commercial where an old person is doing "kid" things. (Rapping, breakdancing)

Thats' about it. Those kinds of commercials make me want to vomit.
