Commercials That Cause Tilt - Page 27 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

those time warner cable commercials that end with the phrase "enjoy better" really tilt me hard since i perceive this phrase to be grammatically incorrect. am i wrong here, or is one capable of enjoying better?

Meh, still sounds awkward. Add a little schadenfreuden to your enjoyment experience?

Of course I'm not really the target audience for those items. Maybe they appeal to young men. I think they're hideously stupid.

the poker one with the hawks is pretty good , but yea i usually hate those commercials..

All the stupid DirecTV commercials that are currently playing at least once per commercial break.

I sort of assume blackface was part of the commercial as originally conceived.

The Cliff Paul commercials make Chris seem like a loser. Cliff has spent his life actually helping people while Chris is a douche who's wasted his life playing a game.

"Eat like that guy you know" is causing me massive life tilt.

Had to look that one up. Welcome to Idiocracy.

"Able bodied athleticism" and "achieve your dreams" being associated with blatantly awful cheap processed food is amazing. But it doesn't tilt me at all. Brilliant satire imo. The music is perfect too.

There's a new Safeway (grocery store) radio commercial here in Chicago advertising their carry out pizza. The commercial starts out with a chick saying, "WHO HAS TIME FOR DELIVERY???" She then tries to convince listeners that going to Safeway would somehow take less time than calling a pizza delivery place.

I go on tilt every time it comes on.

Take-out is often faster than delivery, but it's definitely not more convenient.

I ate the bones is a great example of very effective marketing

Love the "I ate the bones!" commercial with the nerdy white guy. Could do without the one with the black guy.

Only seen the "I ate the bones!" commercial with the black guy, thought it was pretty stupid and probably offensive to some people. Doesn't help that the nearest KFC to me is less than a block from Taco Bell, so I'm basically never going to KFC.

Any Taco Bell commercial with that abortion of a song "Hold me back...". All those fruitcakes sharing wings and then the other fruit walking in only makes me think they're about to go all lemon party when the commercial ends.

There's some smart phone commercial with a ginger mom who loves her ginger kid, from birth until he shares via phone video his new place on his own.

There's nothing particularly offensive about it, but there's just something about the first shot of a mother's hand caressing a fat ginger baby face that annoys me.

I'm not sure why.
