I hate all commercials. They are all evil! Especially the ones that make me laugh! It's like stabbing me with a knife and then make a funny song about it! At least bad commercials don't work.

Oh, I thought of another one. There's a flea market- yes, a FLEA MARKET- that regularly has ads on my parents' radio station. In this terrifying Ugarte/Alvin and the Chipmunks voice, the flea market's mascot "Dr. Flea" talks to some lady named Sophia. He claims he has "UN-BEE-LEE-VABLE BARGAINS!" and that we should "COME, LIGHT UP my BRAIN!" What does that even mean? And he says it over and over again at least four times in a thirty second spot!

But that's not all.. noooo they made a SEQUEL to it!
-Where are you going honey?
-To the Cambridge Flea market! It's where I got that sexy skirt you like
-Is that the one with the ads for Dr. Flea? Are you going to be like that sexy Sophia and LIGHT UP his BRAIN?
-Oh, you!

i hate the adverts where they say

"buy this pen and recieve two other pens for an additional Â£25 and if you pay by credit card you get another set for free."

and the adverts trying to sell a 200 in 1 colapsable gym

"works your abs, tricepts, quads and finger muscles all at the same time"

Ugh... I hated all of those commercials that have to do with tampons and pads.

It's bad enough that when I was first with my "significant other" and when we started watching TV together that one of those tampon commercials came up. "Great news, girls! Pads have just become less crinkly!" or "Girls, you won't believe it! Pads feel like diapers, and are less smelly!". Everything got awkard after that.

Now we're okay with watching those sorts of commercials, but still...

What the hell is TiVo???

AGA · Sat 24/04/2004 22:31:18

It's like a VCR, but with a harddisk. It can automatically tape all the programmes from a season of a show, and other clever stuff like that.

MrColossal · Sat 24/04/2004 23:36:36

other clever stuff being removing commercials, which is why he brought it up i'm sure

Peter Bear · Sat 24/04/2004 23:46:05

Why go on looking at tv when U can have so much fun on the internet

and if u REALLY want to watch tv, get satellite and switch each time u get ads

Totoro · Sat 24/04/2004 23:59:16

I hate the one when Udo Juergens is suddenly popping up in the kitchen of the young couple singing "ABER BITTE MIT RAMA", and the one where Rudi Voeller suddenly appears out of nowhere and says "NECKERMANN MACHTS MOEGLICH!"

Er... what do you mean you cannot see German CMs? I thought all people in this board are German

there is one commercial i found really disturbing. It showed a young girl driving a car, and the mother in the back seat who was not wearing a seatbelt. All of a sudden, the daughter braked really hard, or was in an accident (i can't remember). But the mother came flying forward and smashed her face on the windsheild. Then the camera showed the mothers bloody face. I only saw this commercial once, and was very disturbed by it.

Has anyone else seen this commercial?

No, and I sure hope I never do!

Man, I hate those STINKING, FILTHY, ROTTEN MTV2 COMMERCIALS!

I also loath the KnowHIV commericals. It's not that I'm against warning people about sleeping around, it's just that I hate the way the woman is always the one who is being oh so protective and the man is just some sex-o-matic predator who always slams his face into the glass window. Why not show the woman as the agressor once in awhile?

What am I missing? nothing. Call me arogant, But Television sucks. it breeds couch potatoes, find somethiing more inteeresting to talk about other then what was on last night.... remember: "humanity came about with out TV" (Nome Chomsky rules).

I'm not disagreeing with you. MOST of TV is garbage, however, there is also a small variety of informative and entertaining shows still on the air. If you don't wanna watch something, you just switch it off. Its the people who DON'T switch it off and just sit there burning their mind out with useless trash that become couch potatoes and such. Actually, anything can breed couch potatoes. Reading, eating, internet, music.

We're given lots of things that we can entertain ourselves with, which is not a bad thing. But how people use them and how frequently is their own choice.

Yo Mama! · Sun 25/04/2004 06:01:16

Man, I have learned half of the interesting/useless facts I know from TV, like the Simpsons and Seinfeld and Family Guy. Did you know that when a bobcat roars or growls, it is so rough and deep they are often mistaken for a mountain lion? I never knew that! I learn allot from mythbusters and such.

And I also hate the easy-diet fat pills that are clinically proven to help lose at least 20 lbs. or more. No offence to casual dieters, but you should only use these if you are at least 20 lbs. overweight. I think that all these commercials are taking over all the others, since America is getting fatter all the time.

SBC (Big phone company) is apparently trying to pass a bill through Oklahoman Congress to raise our phone bills.. I don't know much about it, all of my information comes from an annoying commercial that points it out every time. It tells us that they will raise our phone bills by $2 a month (THAT'S $24 A YEAR!!) all while showing evil looking corporate types with giant golden diamond-encrusted SBC badges on their chests. A cheesy marching soundbyte plays as they walk towards the Capitol building with scowls on their faces. Did I mention the diamond-encrusted gold badges? Yeah.
